No computerized autotune, just unadulterated talent!
No in ear monitoring, no backing tracks. 100 live. How music should be
Yep
wadefryer7899 what is your problem with in ear monitors?? You have something against hearing yourself?? Wow.
Yep when an artist was an artist not machines being artists.
@@kevinflynn4519 yes I hate them. Lose the feel of the crowd.Back then you had to rely on wedges. Took a much better singer to stay on key.
They don’t call him the voice for nothing ❤
Omg….so true! Steve Perry is easily in my top 10 best male rock vocalists of all time!
Australia's John Farnham is also called, 'The Voice' for very good reason. too.
@@barnowl. I wasn’t aware of this, thanks for the info.
@@lisawest7002 John Farnham is brilliant- a vocal genius. Always see and hear him LIVE. His concerts with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and his band and back-up singers are amazing. He sings in over 20 genres/styles. His career spans 60 years and he's had many top hits and albums. John is a consummate showman and is sooo charismatic and the nicest person. Aussies love him. There are a number of reactions on YT to him. Enjoy !
That could be used for: Brad, Steve, Freddie and Meatloaf
Do you know how lucky my generation was to see arena rock in its all greatness!? God, what a time to be alive!!!!!
Yes! We were so lucky to be in that era!!
60's kids lived through the best American years, 60's-80's!! I wouldn't trade it for more time today, I'm done with this twisted world that's for sure!!
i envy you so much.
And let's not forget all the amazing outdoor 2-3 day events like Day on the Green and Mountain Air out in Central California!!
or a real band in your friend's basement...
Steve Perry is considered by most artists to be one of the best singers of all time.
Yes live vocals, when artists were actually artists and had talent.
I can't even watch all this, not interesting enough even though I do like Journey. You want some excellent music, singing and entertainment, watch Lord Huron live doing Secret of Life.
@@judyhano8277 I don't even know who "Lord Huron" is. Never even heard the name.
@@CelticSpiritsCoven You're not missing anything. Boring as hell.
COMPLETELY AGREE.......IT WAS GREAT GROWING UP IN THE 70'S AND 80'S.......NO BETTER MUSIC HANDS DOWN!!!
Freddie Mercury, Journey, Elton John all amazing
Steve Perry's nickname is The Voice, and for good reason.
Australia's John Farnham is known as 'The Voice' for good reason, too !
Thought it was Rodgers from Bad Company
Because back in the 70's and 80's you made it on talent not on computerisation
Steve Perry IMHO is the greatest singer of all time! No autotune, no ear piece, no vocal training at all . Just raw God given talent! ❤❤❤ you MUST watch Mother Father from the same show!! His vocals are amazing in that also! Anything from the live in Houston is amazing! Steve Perry is 75 now although he is no longer with Journey , he still has an amazing voice.
but Robert Plant...
Steve Perry is one of the best voices of all time! I was privileged to see them live at Starwood Amphitheater/Nashville in the 80’s. Epic time to be a teenager!!! I promise. Banging music and virtually no fighting. Folks just there, hugging and belting along with every word!!!❤🎶
💯
Yeah, I caught the Journey Raised on Radio tour. I've never seen a better behaved crowd in my life. Just GOOD people.
I saw him at Cal Jam 2 at the Ontario motor speedway
Sw Rush in San Diego... they were awesome
Saw them on their Escape Tour 1981 in Frankfurt, Germany.
It's not just that Steve Perry sounds that good live, it's that Journey sounds that good live.
Styx, Foreigner, Kansas, Blue Oyster Cult were all great live.
Yes, the ENTIRE band. They sounded this fabulous TOGETHER.
@@cindyknudson2715 I think that's part of what gets lost on music of the 60's to the 80's is that people get lost in the vocalist and don't really recognize that the whole group worked on the music.
Some of music today has really a good vocalist, but it seems the band is just plug and play musicians.
Steve Perry was vocally perfect every time. Truly the GOAT.
He doesn’t just sound that good live, he sounds better live. He’s a goddam unicorn.
There was no autotune in the 70's, artists had to actually have talent to make it unlike today with autotune. Yes, they actually sound the same as the recordings and knew how to play their instruments. Most groups in the 70's knew how to sing not just in the studio, they all went on tours. I've been to so many concerts to know.
Not many dare to do that anymore, so shoutout to Adele, who actually does :)
1677 concerts under my belt, from 81' to 2015 was my last concert and it was Van Halen, and I have every stub to prove it.
@@DinDooIt I'm all for going to concert so artists get their money, but what a weird flex dude.
What compelled you to brag about that?
@@codexdelux Wasn't trying to flex, just saying I've been to a lot of concerts and I was agreeing with the op that a lot of the older bands sounded the same on stage as their albums, that's all, maybe I could have worded it better.
@@DinDooIt I may have interpreted it oddly as well :) Have good weekend :)
It's even more amazing when you consider that he sang like this throughout the concert, night after night, while on tour.
great point. He might be an hour into the show at this point.
Fifty years later and Journey is still my number one favorite group. Steve Perry is in a league of his own.
Dude,,,you have the look of a person actually at the concert. PURE talent... Real Singing. Journey was amazing...
Back then you had to have true talent to make it and they recorded exactly what they really sounded like. Singers and bands from that era sounded exactly like the record when you went to see them live.
Except for Steely Dan
Not true. I can name quite a few that sound much better in the studio. Sounding like the studio version live was a exception not the rule
@@lesblatnyak5947and many more
Oof. Either you didn't actually live back then, our you didn't see many bands.
@@justchillin4065 It was more of a rule than it is today, that's for damn sure!
He sounds better live to me than on a record. He is fantastic. What a voice. He can wear whatever he wants. Lol.
Real bands didn’t used to use auto tune, sampling, recordings during live performances, etc. It was pure talent.
So many people saying the same thing. Steve P is absolutely great here - what a voice! No autotune, no dubbing, just great singing!!!!!!
This is such a pop song you've heard 20 millions times. But when you see it live it's more of a rock song and I love it. Perry's voice is truly amazing.
That's why he is called
THE VOICE ❣️🤗❣️
It's not hard to sound exactly like the record when there is no auto tune just natural talent
Journey, Live. Open Arms, all the bands played their own instruments, Great singers, no autotune.
No backup dancers,no crazy pyrotechnics,no auto tune. No distractions from the performance.👍👍
Steve has one of the most distinctive voices. There’s no auto tuning with Steve. What you hear is what you get. Steve put his heart into everything he sings.❤❤
he sounds that good live because.... TALENT!!!! no autotune, no nothing, TALENT!!!
The greatest vocalist of my generation. Absolutely flawless.
Steve Perry's nickname in the eighties was literally THE VOICE.
We had many fantastic vocalists, but very few could come close to him. In studio or on stage.
Steve Perry, Lou Gramm and Steve Walsh my top 3 rock vocalists of all time
Australia's John Farnham is known as 'The Voice', too.
@@aaronherbison7316 Listen to Australian John Farnham as he is known as 'The Voice' and is in the world's top list ! He sings rock and over 20 other genres excellently !
@@barnowl. not doubting you, but when? Perry is retired but was a worldwide phenomenon.
@@michaelconnor1542 When was John Farnham singing? From the 1960s to near 2020. The USA may not have heard much of him but other countries in the world did . John did not like touring and soon decided to only do concerts in Australia. Check out his concerts with his band and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. John sings in over 20 genres, has a big gymnastic vocal range and is a consummate, charismatic showman. He has also sung with other famous people who sing his praises eg. Tom Jones, Little River Band, Celine Dion. Richard Marx. Olivia Newton-John, Ray Charles and more. Other famous singers have expressed amazement at his talent.
Just raw talent no auto tune no backing track/ lip sync every musician at the top of their game.
There was no such thing as stretch denim back then. Commitment. God I love Journey so much. Incredible.
Once again, the awesome sound of the real voices of the 70s/80s ... no autotune!
You can get this entire live concert and hear music that's better than the studio version. This is talent! Please check out Mother Father for some amazing music.
Very 1st concert 1983t. in Mobile, AL: Bryan Adams was the opening act for Journey. Steve Perry is even more amazing in concert. His voice is STELLAR, in concernt, on album, even now in his golden years....
Saw them both in Atlanta, same tour.
I was there for that concert! It was amazing!!
Same tour in Chicago! I was 22 at the time.
Same tour in LV, NV at The Aladdin Theater.
I love how minimal the stage was...focus is on the band and the music. Awesome.
They were my Dad’s favorite band! And this was his favorite song. RIP Dad. Every time I hear this song I get pumped and picture him rockin out with Jesus! Miss ya Dad! Love you! - Kristin
My favorite song is Lights, but I've never heard a bad song from Journey, be it studio or live.
Absolutely Mother, Father; his vocal ability will blow you away. This is the same Houston concert.
I hope he takes a listen to mother father. It is by far one of the greats.
Their song Mother,Father live will show him go to the next level…yes, another level!
Add. Who’s Crying Now from same concert 1981 Houston
Steve Recorded mother Father in One take according to Cain
"Mother, father" is a amazing song!!!
Steve Perry is the exception to the rule! That guy can sing like no other whether it's studio or concert. Thanks for the memories.❤️👍
Yes, he sounds that good. That's why his nickname is "The Voice" 👍
You HAVE to watch Steve sing “Mother, Father, Sister, Brother” from this same concert. The notes he hits are incredible in range.
Castronovo was downright impressive signing that one though.
Totally agree!!!! Insane. SP's vocal wizardry on that one is over-the-top.
Remember its 1980's no auto tune, The clothes from the 70's.....They call him "THE VOICE" for every reason you are hearing....
Sweetie, this was the 80s! Rock'n'Roll at its finest! Journey with Steve Perry as the lead singer! You really need to listen to more of their songs. Do NOT listen to the group that is Journey today. Listen to when Steve Perry was their lead singer! The groups of the 80's were among the BEST! Concerts were AMAZING! We didn't wear ear plugs and our ears rang for hours! Bad for us? Yes. Did we care? No! I'm 71 now, and still have perfect hearing. I would give anything to go back in time just so I could go to Rock Concerts again...and again...and again! So happy you are really enjoying this group! Peace!.....Oh, they didn't use "auto tune" either! :-)
You are so right!!
Steve Perry's vocals were exceptional The man could sound the same live as a recording sounded It didn't change The man was amazing
Pay attention to the guitarist Neil Schonn. He's considered one of the best of all time. Clapton tried to recruit him at age 15. There were no in ears then. Wireless technology for the stage was still years and years away. Everything was front monitors only
Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton were fighting over him then but he chose Santana because Clapton wanted him to move to London and he wasn't ready for that.
@@nancywyatt821 imagine being 15 and Clapton wants you.
@@pnshr88 Actually, Rolie introduced Neal to Carlos. Neal had been playing hooky from school to jam with Rolie for some time.
@@nancywyatt821 that's right and then he had the choice of going back to school or play in Santana. And he sucked at school so..... 🤷♂️
BEST guitarist EVER!!! All of them together - SPerry, Neal, John, Ross, and Steve Smith -the true JOURNEY!!!❤
Check out Steve's songs Foolish Heart, When you Love a Woman, Oh Sherrie & Mother, Father 🔥🎶 his voice, one of a kind ❤
He is my favorite singer. Such a unique voice. He will never be replaced.
His voice is incredible!! Every concert was !!!¡😮😮😮😮
Most artists from that era and before sound basically the same live as they do in studio. There was no autotune back in those days, and people went to concerts expecting the same quality as they got on the album. A band wouldn't make it if they couldn't perform live. Most of them didn't use the in-ears either. There wasn't all that much technology involved, and there weren't nearly as many toys available as there are now.
JOURNEY --- "Wheel In The Sky" live in Osaka 1980!!! Steve's song intro in this performance is EPIC! High energy interaction with the concert goers! It is a must for any Journey fan!
This is pure, unadulterated, raw talent! No auto tune. Steve Perry has the most beautiful voice! Love your reaction! ♥❤🔥
Some of the most Talented people ever, are old school, Classic Rockers my man!
The only person that I saw live that could keep up with Steve Perry was Freddie Mercury. I saw them both in the 70s. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Steve was better live than Freddie. Freddie often cut corners, evaded high notes live that he hit in the studio etc. I'm not saying Freddie wasn't great, he was one of the very best. But as far as vocal delivery, show after show - Steve Perry has him beat.
@@Incomudro1963 yeah. I disagree. Saw them both live, same year (78) same venue ( The Garden ) both were equally incredible.
You have not heard Australian John Farnham, then !??!
Most artists from this time sound just like the studio version, live! Autotune was not a thing back then! They are the epitome of true artists and musicians! Someone else I think u would love is Jackson Browne! Listen to Stay/The Load out! He has one of my favorite voices ever!
And he just sings it like it's nothing...one of a kind talent!
The Voice! Love Steve Perry! And the HAIR and Smile ❤
Journey’s still touring but Steve Perry left the band in the 90s. I believe that all of the members in this video are still alive. Love them!
Helllllllo PEGASUS. From all the concerts I been to. Rock music voices alwaS sound like the album 99% of the time
Journey- Wheel In The Sky, Lights, Separate Ways, Faithfully and Mother Father. So incredible.
This is probably the tour I saw Journey when they played in Florida. Steve Perry’s voice was incredible with no autotune. They rocked the stadium.😎
Perry's voice is legendary.
Still is check out one of his more recent songs "We're still here"
Please react to mother father live by journey in 1981. He said it was the hardest song he ever sung live it's amazing ❤❤❤
Mother Father from the same live concert will blow you away!! NO one can compare❤. His live performances are better than the recordings. He is that good!!
"Mother father" is amazing song!!!
Steve Perry isn’t called the voice for nothing. He produced music by himself later after Journey. He was just as good then. He has always been one of my very favorite singers.
Australia's John Farnham is known as 'The Voice', too !
I went to 4 of there concerts. How good they sound is the reason. ❤️🔥
The sheer joy on your face!
That’s why Steve Perry’s known as The Voice. Love, from Oklahoma 🤍
thats TALENT!!! that was the 70-80s!!
My first concert. I graduated HS '81 and this song affected people... I can still remember everything from that concert including the smell.
Did you play the Journey arcade game?
Consider in concert he is running around, hand holding a bare mic and still has this quality of sound.
Keyboardist Johnathan Cain said in an interview that it didn't matter if Steve Perry was in studio, practicing, or live in concert... Steve always sounded that good every time. There's a good reason why JBJ coined the moniker "The Voice" describing Steve Perry. Perry said he first wanted to sing after hearing Sam Cook sing. You can definitely hear some of that influence in Steve's vocal style.
My Mom and my older teenage brother saw Journey in concert around this time, and my Mom never forgot the experience. Even when dementia was robbing her of memory, she still remembered Journey & going to see them. (She also went with him to AC/DC & a few other concerts).
Unfortunately, I was too young at the time & never got to see them perform before Steve left them for a normal life. Later on, it was for financial reasons that I didn't get to go. One of my biggest regrets is not seeing them. This live performance is the closest I'll ever come to that. No disrespect intended to current frontman, Arnel Pineda, who's a huge Perry fan & does a great job, but it wouldn't be the same w/o Steve.
This entire concert is worth your time. Unbelievable vocal performance
It's been a few years since I've watched this performance ❤ I still get chills 😎 for me, 1981 is the year I met my husband ♥️ so the feelings this invokes actually surprised me.... May 1st is our 42yrs
They were amazing in person. Steve is phenomenal, and Journey never used anything to enhance their music.
Growing up in the 80"s was so amazing. Big hair, shoulder pads and the best music. Maybe that's why my generation is so critical of today's musicians. Loved your enthusiasm to this video.
You can’t beat the energy of live performances from talented musicians. A great road crew can dial in the monitors so that the band has total awareness. Great live bands have non-verbal communication as well.
Steve has such a unique and powerful voice, and this band is great.
Seen them live many times. Steve Perry’s voice is one of the best!!
I saw Journey in 1980 at the Richfield Coliseum outside of Cleveland and Steve Perry was perfection, it felt like you were listening to the radio. He was unbelievable!
STONE IN LOVE - same concert Houston 81. It’s a banger if you’ve never heard it! 🔥
Saw Steve Perry and Journey in concert back in the 80s. Yes, they were that great. As they like to say, Steve could sing the phone book and make it sound fabulous.
He is one of those talents that is good in or out of studio!!! Best male vocal of all time!!!
It’s always blows my mind that it blows reactors mind that we had kick ass artist back in the day. 🙌😎
I can’t imagine going to a concert where the performers can’t sing for shit live. It was much more rare for an artist to sing poorly live, and it was to not have them sound very similar if not better live.
Journey sounds better live than in the studio, pick any song from any live concert of theirs and you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend "Mother, Father" and "Open Arms" from this concert. I suggest "Wheel in the sky" from their Osaka Japan concert.
By the way, Steve perry is A.K.A as "The Voice". They did a video of their last song that they recorded with Steve, he left the group before the tour began, so check out the video "When you love a Woman".
Australian John Farnham is known as 'The Voice' world-wide.
Steve Perry and Journey - one of my fave bands of my high schools yrs. Steve had a stupendous voice 😊Love from Lisa a lyme warrior and autoimmune disease 🦠 💚 His voice is freaking one of the best of the best 🎉
Steve will always be on my top three singers- his voice is unique. No need for autotune or all the crap they use today.
No auto tune ! Pure talent
Steve Perry amazing singer !
There’s more from this concert that’s simply incredible. Mother, Father is a masterpiece and Steve Perry’s self-admittedly most difficult song to sing live. However, you wouldn’t know it from the performance. Keep rockin’
One of the greatest voices of all time !
Always, always, always watch Journey live!
Steve Perry has an amazing voice. .You have to remember that in the 80's and prior, you had to be the real deal. You had to be talented and have a really good voice.to make it; you couldn't just get by.. So when you went to a concert it sounded just like the recording.
I saw them in the early 80s at Cincinnati coliseum and there were so many girls at that show that the lines were so long for the girls restrooms that the girls were coming in the men’s restrooms to go. It was a crazy concert to say the least.
No dude, his voice was that good. Pick any live performance, he’ll blow you away. Fan for life.
My two favorite bands back in the early 80's was Journey and Foreigner. Both Steve Perry and Lou Gramm had killer vocals. They're both great live. Autotune ? They don't need no stinking autotune or over dubbing.
Mother father from this very concert is amazing you really have to look at it
My favourite track, not the most popular, but the hardest to sing, totally amazing ❤
When I was a teenager my boyfriend took me to see journey I never heard of the band I was kind of scared because because I never been to such a massive concert before we were near the front of the stage when he came out and started singing I forgot all of my anxiety and was so memorized with his vocals.. his pitch was perfect the power behind his voice incredible it was an awesome concert
Listen to this whole concert! Every song is on fire! They were amazing live! Steve never stops moving around the stage. He even walks in step with the beat of the music.
They were the first band that sounded just like their recording in a live concert. I was impressed when I saw them in KC back then
Freakin Amazing every time!
