    The entire live performance from that tour (Houston 81) is phenomenal!

    I’m glad Journey are getting their belated due. They were hated by the critics in the 80s. Yet, to this day young people discover and fall in love with their songs. (Meanwhile, a lot of the acts that were afforded accolades by those same critics are long since forgotten). As freakishly talented as they are as musicians, it all comes down to songwriting. A good song is a good song. And I for one miss the days when songwriters knew a bit of music theory and not just how to operate software.

    My mom met Steve Perry when I was a baby, and he asked to hold me. (I'm about the age of his daughter and he was missing her). Mom said that he was absolutely graceful and lovely to me, her, and everyone he interacted with. Just thought I'd share that story. I've seen Journey 3x, unfortunately after his departure.

    I bought the Escape album in 1981 when I was 13 years old and played it until the grooves wore out. I was immediately drawn to this song at first by the amazing guitar solo (Neal Schon is my guitar hero), but ultimately its simply a gorgeous song and has long been my favorite Journey song. And Steve Perry on vocals? Let me just say there will NEVER be a rock voice as powerful, emotional and pitch perfect as Steve's. To this day, at age 56, I've still never heard a male rock voice that can compare to Steve's (even the great Freddie Mercury). Thank you Journey for being such a big part of my youth!

    I was at this concert in Houston in 1981. Little did I know then as a teenager what an iconic performance this would become. Steve Perry was at his very best as usual. All the band fits together perfectly. Journey's music is timeless and still very relevant all these years later. Thanks for the review.

    The lyrics of this song were actually about Steve Perry’s personal life. Interesting fact: when Steve recorded this song in the studio, he did it in ONE take. This song meant a great deal to Steve emotionally, even though he stated it was a very difficult song for him to sing. IMO, Steve was THE greatest rock n roll vocalist of that amazing generation of music, which is saying a lot! Even Freddie Mercury didn’t sing with the kind of passion and soul that Steve did. When Steve sang, you literally felt the lyrics touch your soul. No auto tune. Always perfectly on pitch in live concerts. You just don’t hear music like that anymore. So heartfelt and meaningful. Beautiful melodies and lyrics without cursing, slandering, or degrading other human beings. I feel blessed to have been in high school in that era. SO MANY talented and amazing bands back then and all with their own unique sounds.

    That song, by far, is the best showcase of Steve's voice. He really shines. It's based on a true story of one of the band members, so it was a very emotional performance. Even Neil's guitar solo was originally a one take ad lib part on the studio record. He waas so spurred on a touched by the song, that he jest fell into it, performed it from the heart. To me, it's the best of Journey.

I saw them live in '79 when I was 14. We were blown away, in shock for the first part of the concert. Steve Perry's voice surpassed the records live. He has that special extra soulfulness live, incredible. Much love from California. You are fun to listen with.

My buddy saw the '80 tour with Gregg Rolie still in the band, same as you saw in '79. I would killed to have seen them in '79, still playing stuff from their phenomenal first three prog fusion albums coupled with Perry's stuff.

    I'm glad you spent time reading the lyrics. Most people are so mesmerized by the music they don't hear the great lyrics. The music (and its various moods) makes more sense when you know the words. It's a masterpiece - and the band was so freaking tight, instrumentally and vocally. BTW, the number 7 in the bible is called the perfect number. Journey has always been known not to be any kind of religious band, but certainly a band that had some spiritual / biblical references in several songs. Steve Perry was Catholic back then and Jonathan Cain is Christian; two of the principle songwriters.

    In my opinion the Escape album and tour is Journey and Steve Perry at their absolute pinnacle! Escape is my desert island record no question! In the Escape era, the addition of Jonathan Cain really breathed new life into the group and elevated the already phenomenal song writing to an entirely different level! Don’t get me wrong, I adore the earlier stuff as well, but that album was amazing from front to back! And Steve’s voice had matured to have a richer tone with an added dimension without sacrificing any of his style or range, and his vocal runs are flawless and just off of the charts. This is why NOBODY sounds just like Steve Perry. He has such a soulful undercurrent that subtlety colors everything he sings with his unmistakable signature sound.
    Journey has found, and completely worn out, some very talented replacement singers, and they do sound similar enough for the band to continue without Steve, but true fans immediately hear where they fall short of the master. It’s one thing to just hit the notes, certainly no easy feat for mere mortals, but capturing the all important nuances has so far continued to prove an illusive quest.
    I actually saw Journey only a couple of months ago and sadly the magic is gone. The band, all 12 of them according to what was on the stage, appeared to be phoning it in and it really felt like there was zero heart or fire present in the performance. And poor Arnel is sadly on his last leg vocally. He visibly struggled the entire show and it appeared and felt very forced, even handing off several of the more vocally challenging songs including Mother, Father to other members. Not to take anything away from their phenomenal drummer Dean Castronovo who does an incredible job and probably could front the band arguably better than any of the other vocalists hired post Perry. But the heart and soul of the group was noticeably absent, it seems they are now just a corporation attempting to keep the brand alive. I feel they are tarnishing the legacy and that makes me sad.

    This concert has so many hits in it, Don't Stop Believing, Stone in Love, Open Arms and some of their older hits Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin', Anyway You Want It, Wheel in the Sky as well.

I recommend "Send Her My Love" you can feel the emotion from Steve, " I'll Be Alright With Out You", "When You Love a Woman", Lovin',Touchin'Squeezin' a Steve Perry original is a fun and beautiful song Live from the Escape tour in Houston 1981 just captures the energy between Steve, the band and the audience!

He took over on keyboards, guitar, and background vocals. He and Steve wrote that song, and we know the rest is history, as they say. Wish Steve was still part of Journey, but his replacement sounds almost like Steve, but he also has his own distinctive sound, Arniel P. Also, today's version is sung by no other than Deen Castennos. Sorry if the last name is spelled wrong. And it's just as amazing as it was back in the day. Thanks again, Rosalie. Make it your day and Smile at someone ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    This song hits very close to home with me. For the fact that my father was an alcoholic. And my mother just recently died, but she had many nervous. Breakdowns with abuse for my father. I had a sister who took her own life. In 1990 five, it is a song that's solely stricken with Christ. For help! It is in the perspective of the brother. That's why he talks about as he sings. She sits alone a mother's face. She wears not mother as in his own mother, but his sister, who took care of him when they were growing up, and she gave up her own life to protect her brother as. Her father died and her mother also died! You really have to look Deep into the song to get the True and full meaning of the aspect from where these lyrics have come from.

    I was at this concert in 81 in Houston. This was one of the best vocals I have ever heard in concert. The ladies in the Summit were screaming so loud and when Perry sang the softer they melted. Schon on guitar was great. Cain's piano was fantastic.

    You're one of the first reactors that I've heard go over the lyrics like that. I am a huge huge huge Journey and Steve Perry fan and this is my favorite Journey song and my favorite performance of that song. I've listened to it many times and I still get goosebumps whenever I listen again.

    Can you believe back then you literally never knew if a band could actually perform their music live like the album. Thats all we had was our albums and the radio. Yes this was pre MTV. Then if you were lucky you could go to a show and hope they were as good as their album. Even the first MTV videos were sort of a lip syncing performance art. Early Journey was my favorite, the songs were magical filled with emotion and layers not just pop to appeal to the masses. This proves that they are the real deal, so glad this is caught on video and will thrill people for all the years to come!

      Actually - read up from Wikipedia, pretty sure there is an interview on UA-cam where Steven mentioned this fact. It is part of the reason there is such amazing video from a 1981 concert! Here's the copy paste from Wiki. The material of the show was recorded and filmed for the then-fledgling MTV network on Journey's Escape Tour on 6 November 1981 at The Summit in Houston, Texas, at the height of the band's commercial success.

    Was stationed in Alameda California 1978-1981. In 78 or 79 I went to a day on the green, an all day concert at Oakland collisium. Never heard of Journey before that. They came on stage, the collisium was shaking with the fans going crazy. Been a fan ever since. Seen them at least 30 times during the 70's and 80s

    I've seen Journey more times than I can count, going back to 1975. Steve Perry is one of the greatest vocalists of all time. I've also had the opportunity to be backstage on a few occasions at a Journey concert. I'd give "Lay it Down" a listen if you want to hear outstanding vocals.

  • @peterdoe2617

    I just realized that I should maybe listen to more of Journey. I only know them from the ever-repeated songs on the radio.
    The beginning reminded me a bit of Blackbird by Alter Bridge.Both, Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy are amazing singers.
    Reaction-wise: i've never seen a reaction on Iron Butterfly. At work, today; I remembered their song "slower than guns", talking about enviromental pollution and things. That song is from back in 1970 or so: talking: "nobody saw it coming?", these days.
    ?? Our customer said: "If they had read the report by the Club of Rome, nack in 1972. It's all pointed out! A surprise? Now? in 2023? Right, she was! It was all predicted. 59 years ago. No surprise. Just pure ignorance of facts.
    This might be worth a topic of it's own: the "green" movement in the early 7ties.

    You're a joy to watch react to Mother Father by Journey. I saw them in 1983 at LA Forum and they sounded like they did on recording for their albums. Best band in concert that I've ever been to. I'm so glad you you watched Journey perform this song!

    Ok, so I graduated HS in 1982, so you know I had to have listened to a lot of Journey in my life and I have to say that this, although not as popular as many other songs, has always been my favorite. Not sure why, it is just something about it that grabs me emotionally.

    This is a great song and live show and it includes the best line-up of the band (IMO), including Ross Valory on bass and Steve Smith on drums, both of whom were kicked out of the band for BS reasons during the recording of the album Raised on Radio in 1985 (both of them ended up returning to the band for extended stints, as recently as 2020). Steve Perry is simply an incredible vocalist with tons of natural talent. Randy Jackson (from American Idol) replaced Ross Valory on bass during the late 80's and he called Steve Perry "The Voice". On a side note...if you are into instrumental jazz-fusion music, you should check out a live video from Vital Information, which was Steve Smith's side project. He is an absolutely phenomenal drummer, but you wouldn't necessarily pick up on that with the straight-ahead rock drumming he did for Journey (he has been voted #1 all-around drummer by Modern Drummer magazine 5 years running and he was included in their list of top 25 drummers of all time in 2001).

    The amazing thing about journey is that the sides kneel shown. Greg Raleigh, Ross, Valerie and Jonathan Kane. They were all original members of Santana's group who played at Woodstock period though the light has changed many times over the years, they were always spot on live in. Concert! You can't go wrong listening to any type of journey music ever!

      Greg Rolie (Keyboardist and lead vocalist of Santana) and Neal Schon (Guitarist) both left Santana during a lull in the early to mid 1970's to start Journey. These were the only 2 former members of Santana which created this new band, Journey, which started as a Jazz-Rock-Fusion band opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd until the October 1977 plane crash that killed several members of Skynyrd including Ronnie VanZant the lead singer / songwriter. October 10, 1977 Steve Perry was brought into Journey by the bands manager (Herbie Herbert). Journey produced 3 albums (Infinity, Evolution, & Departure) with only a change up in drummers with Steve Smith replacing Aynsley Dunbar who went on as the drummer for the newly reformed Jefferson Starship. With the completion of the Departure album in 1980, Greg Rolie chose to leave the band and suggested Jonathan Cain (who, at the time was the Keyboardist and backing vocalist for The Babys) as his replacement. The rest is history as those were the only major line up changes throughout most of the 1980's which saw the creation of 3 more gold and / or platinum albums (Escape, Frontiers, & Raised On Radio).
      It should be noted that Steve Perry decided that Ross Valerie (Journey's Bassist) and Steve Smith (Journey's Drummer) were not needed and were replaced with studio musicians (hired hands) as the band released Raised on Radio. It was pretty cold hearted of Steve Perry, but his thinking was that since the song writing was all pretty much being done by Neal, Jonathan and himself, there was no need to pay for a drummer and a bassist as full members of Journey.

    I saw Journey in Mobile, AL on the Escape Tour and it was unreal. I was was 20 at the time. Saw them 3 times with Steve Perry. He was and will always be The VOICE. What a beautiful, and phenomenal voice. I love the way though that you broke down the lyrics for those that may not know the song that well. That was excellent. Made me hit subscribe! Have a great day Rosalie!

Don't get me wrong, I love all their songs but Don't Stop Believing, Faithfully, etc. have, IMO, been played into the ground. Bravo to you for this reaction, I'd love to see more like it to other less known Journey songs.
