This week on our hidden gems series, we are are zeroing in on one of america’s greatest bands. Journey Where we’ll count down their top 5 greatest hidden gems. Before the band was formed in San Francisco in 1973, as many of you may know, Guitarist Neal Schon started out in Santanas band along with Greg Rolie. In fact Neal Schon was a young virtuoso who was so great he was asked to be in two different bands receiving an invitation with two different legends:
After spending several years in the Santana band performing on the albums Santana III and Carvavansera , He and Greg Rolie founded Journey which was originally called Golden Gate Rhythm Section. At first they were going to serve as a backup group for professional artists from the bay area. at that time the band included Neal on guitar and Greg Rolie on keyboards and vocals, with Ross Vallory on bass and George Tickner at Rhythn guitar who both came form the band Frumioius Bandersnatch.
While Prairie Prince of the Tubes on drums. but after just one live show in Hawaii the band decided against being a backup group and instead developed into a jazz fusion band and changed their name to Journey. As time went on Aynsley Dunbar stepped in as drummer as Prairie Prince rejoined the Tubes. After three albums, the self titled debut released in 1975, Look into the Future in 1976 and Next in 1977, then band changed their musical direction. Enter Steve Perry.
Actually first the band Hired singer Robert Fleischman as they transitioned to a more accessible style of rock. The band actually toured with Fleischman in 77. But their were differences between he and band manager Herbie Herbert, during a live show at Soldier Field in Chicago the band met Steve Perry and what followed is the stuff of legend. You just knew the power of Perry on that Feeling that Way.
#5- CHAIN REACTION from Journey’s multiplatinum 1983 album Frontiers. After the mega success of Escape and the advent of MTV Journey was ready to go bigger. The first single off of the album was a scorcher: Separate Ways Worlds Apart became one of the band’s defining rockers, It shot up to #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 with a very 80s centric music video to go along with it. - Розваги

Nobody can compare Steve Perry, No one. Steve Perry is one of a kind.
‘Mother, Father’ is known to have one of the hardest vocals in music PERIOD. The fact that Steve ‘Nailed it’ in one take is unbelievable! And shows his artistic dedication and mastery in using his vocals as an art form. Many people when they first heard the song, didn’t realize that the instrument in parts of the song was actually his VOICE! Great critique and admiration of the best of the best.
Have you heard Deen Castronovo do that song? He blew me away!
My favorite is Separate Ways. Love the vocals, love the guitar. Genius.
Wheel in the Sky background Steve is killing it with his range
Dean's a wanna be. No comparison to Steve. I d go with Arnel. Dean's trying to take his job.
I'm one of those people who didn't realize Perry's voice was the instrument I was hearing in Mother, Father. Unbelievable.
Steve Perry has possibly THE best voice in rock music !
Not possibly....he Is the best voice in rock! Lol
Steve Perry is the GOAT.
If there's a Mount Rushmore it's probably Steve Perry, Paul Rodgers, Robert Plant and Freddie Mercury.
@@deepbluesea8163 .... yessss !! 💜🎤💜
@@RolandDeschain1 don't forget Lou Graham
Wheel in the Sky. That one note that Steve hits. Truly incredible! Gives me chill bumps. This man is so amazingly talented. I’ve loved him since I was 14 years old. There will never be another like him. No one compares.
Steve’s voice is on the same level of Hendrix’s guitar, Mile’s trumpet, Chopin’s piano and Vivaldi’s violins. A treasure of humanity.
Amen to that!!!!!
This version of Mother Father really showcases Perry' voice - AMAZING!!!
Deen Castronovo does an awesome version of Mother Father now. Closest to Steve's vocal you'll ever find
Steve Perry's vocals are always stunning but I believe that When You Love A Woman was outstanding.
When You Love A woman is one of my favorites!
Steve' s voice is nothing short of excellence. So many of the songs are untouchable" Still they ride" " It's just the rain", " I'll be alright without you" " Faithfully to name just a few. Forever Perry!!
I’ve always loved ‘Send Her My Love’ and ‘Girl Can’t Help It’. Definitely two underrated songs.
Both great songs.
Send her my love my favorite. Along with Stone In Love.
Did you ever think Girl Can't Help It sounded a lot like After the Fall? Maybe it was just me but I found them very similar until the last part of Girl Can't Help It.
Agreed “ Send Her My Love “ is definitely a great song
Both great songs, vastly underrated...👍🏿😎
Wheel in the Sky is one of my favorite Journey Songs.
The vocals are amazing
My 18 yr old son loves that song
"Wheel in the Sky" is my favorite song of all time.
Perry, Cain, and Schon was pure magic. That is all
Amen.
What about greg ?
@@connietorres3115 Greg took his ball and went home too early
@@paulcarr5918 😂
Agreed 100% with you Paul 👍
Still They Ride is so beautiful... I love Steve Perry... the song is tear-driven.... so overwhelming
As a metal fan and having been in many metal chat rooms over the years... Steve has Always been Respected for his talent by metal fans!
Same here as a huge fan of guys like Bruce Dinkenson and Rob Halford I also appreciate great vocals.
He's the Dio of Pop Rock
At the time I hated heavy metal music and their vocal styles but after falling in love with Journey's Separate Ways It opened the door in my mind what passionate screamsinging was about. While I am still not a huge Metal fan, the really great metal songs are certainly very cool. I especially love hearing them on a jukebox echoing through a crowded bar.
I contend that Journey is a perfect band to lead someone into a desire to listen to the heavier bands. Neal Schon's incredible rock guitar skills have a lot to do with that.
True . I jumped from Journey straight into Rush, then Maiden, and then Pink Floyd. But Journey remains my go to listen music daily still today.
I always thought Neil Schon was a spectacular guitarist, and remains my top 3 fav, along with Gilmour and Lifeson. Let’s not even talk about Perry and Steve Smith’s insane talents!!
The first time I heard Mother, Father I remember just being blown away by Perry's vocal. I wasn't even a real big Journey fan at the time but that song made me fully realize Perry was at the top of the mountain as far as vocalists go. It's otherworldly--the range and raw emotion he put into that!!
I’ve always loved Who’s Crying Now. The arrangement is so cool.
One of my very favorites!!
"Still They Ride" should have been / still could be ... an awesome theme song for a great movie!
My favorite hidden gem is "Why Can't This Night..."
Perry's vocals are just unbelievable.
Absolutely!!!! That song gives me chills!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Our wedding song
Steve Perry fronting Journey was one of the greatest bands, especially live of all time. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada 🍁
Couldn't agree more!
It was the best move the band ever made, getting Perry.
I talked with Gregg Rollie briefly after a gig in Hillsboro OR and he told me that indeed the Journey band during the recording of Captured was the hottest band around. My own commentary: it was as if he regretted leaving the band right before Escape. I have to give credit to the songwriting team of Cain Perry and Schon for making it even more epic. The chemistry for the next three albums is undeniable.
Perry will never be surpassed....what a voice...
Steve is the greatest Rock vocalist ever. But Canada has the greatest Rock band ever, RUSH.
Steve Perry’s voice is PURE PERFECTION! The emotion and power that comes from him even to this day touches the soul. I just hope he knows how much he is loved ❤
Mother, Father has always been my favorite "unsung" Journey song. When you said that was your #1, I literally yelled out, "yes!" Great video Professor!
Perry pumped "home runs" - with his extraordinary, stratospheric, voice range!
It seemed he could hit grandslams, even without anyone else on base, vocally.
"Stone In Love", "Girl Can't Help It", "Where Were You", "Only the Young", "Send Her My Love"
Steve did the vocals on Mother Father in one take! No surprise.

@@steveperry4513 if this is the real Steve Perry, let me just say thank you for sharing your talent. The music you gave us, with and without Journey, is forever intertwined in my memory
@@m-moneymgt8055 it’s not. This is a con artist.
Definitely can't forget " I 'm crying " Steve is absalutely amazing on this one.
Neal Schon could turn "Mary Had a Little Lamb" into a blistering guitar solo!
SRV already did.
Thanks
Neal is a very, very underrated guitarist. He is sooo good!
I did not know that Steve Perry did mother father in one take. In my opinion that just adds to the epicness of it and how awesome a prime Steve Perry really was. I wish I could have seen them live back then.
Same here!...I was a couple years too young to have been able to see them and eventhough I was just starting to play drums, guitar and sing at 11 or so, I could have never been able to absorb and understand the awesomeness of journey and Steve Perry
I saw them live 4 times...because they came to Jackson , Tenn. twice before they headlined, its kinda small compared to Memphis or Nashville , then in each of those cities thereafter.
Live in Houston is one take too, and may be better than the studio version.
I saw them for the Departure, Escape, Frontiers and Raised on Radio tours. It was all glorious!!
Steve Perry is the most perfect rock voice ever. People who try and claim they are still as good with Pineda are just delusional. Pineda is a nice singer, but he is no Steve Perry and never will be
Perry loon alert.
@@jamesrudd8705 is that the one on the Canadian dollar coin?
Dusional!! Absolutely
Bugs me too … Steve is in a whole different level. Pineda keeps Journey on the road, PERIOD.
I disagree.... the Guess Who best vocals ever
steve is 3rd
The stories behind the songs is fascinating. Why is Journey the greatest band of all time? Each member is a talented musician and vocalist. Sadly, bands and singers, like Journey, don’t exist today. Steve Perry’s vocal range is unbelievable and splendid! It’s no surprise they only needed one take in the studio….no sweeteners needed. In closing, their songs are meaningful: Memories come flooding back reminding you of that period in life when each song was released.
And the problem with their catalog is it shreds the vocal cords!
The live version from Houston is absolutely stunning. You even get to hear and see Steve hit those soaring high notes towards the end.
Those are not guitar notes as some believe..he does it live and spot on.
I was there and it was awesome. Everyone should experience something like that in their lives!!
One of my favorite live rock concerts of all time. Perfect
Ooh, searching for it! Thank you.
That is my go to Journey Concert. Flawless!
The extended rock falsetto is a thing of beauty, and Steve Perry was a master of it, and all the rest! 🙌
It's hard to believe that Steve nailed Mother Father in one take. Wow.
Impressive!
Steve is an amazing Icon. There is only one STEVE PERRY.
Wonder how many it would take deen castronova to do it while playing drums!
@@paulwojnilowicz5265Deen is freaking incredible
It is so satisfying to finally see and hear people studying the talent of Journey as band and as individuals. Steve Perry, a gift of superior singing ability, given to the world to enjoy. An opera singer in rock and roll.
Mother Father is one of my favorite Journey songs. Steve's voice was so incredible it doesn't surprise me one bit that he got the song in one take.
One of my favourite bands. I loved Escape so much I wore out my cassette. I need to get it back in some form. Not only does Steve have outstanding vocal range but, he sings with such emotion. This is why he is one of my favourite male singers.
My all time favorite band. I appreciate that some of the guys are still playing and Arnel does a great job, but Steve Perry was a generational voice - he will forever be Journey to me. Damn what an artist.
Holy fuck! Mother Father in one take. That is one of the best vocal tracts in rock history.
It’s hard to believe he did that. I believe Neil or was it Jonathan? Anyway 1 take just shows you how on top of their game these guys were. Neil saying he was out partying all night and nailed two solos then said well that’s enough for one day is an epic story too.
Mother Father was my favorite song from the escape album. The first time I heard it, I was blown away by Steve’s vocal ability. I would listen to it loud through my headphones and it gave me chills every single time!
One of my favorite deep tracks is definitely “Happy To Give” from Raised on Radio. Steve Perry’s vocal, that huge production...*chef’s kiss*
This song is fantastic! Pure soul and feelings. Good choice!
Story has it that Perry recorded the vocal for that song by the dozens...he always thought of Happy to Give as his “baby.”
Just want to say Neal is an awesome guitarist !! He and Steve together was a joy to my ears.I listen Journey and Steve (solo ) everyday. !!!
It's hard to limit it to a top five, but one song I love that most people pass over is "After the Fall", a song that I think showcased just how good the unerrated Steve Smith is on drums!
One of my favorites!
'Professor of Rock' doesn't get near the thumbs up that's deserved and worthy of. He does his homework, for sure.
Professor, considering the actual length of prime activity of the band with Steve Perry as the lead vocalist, Journey's success in the music world is truly phenomenal and its longevity truly remarkable. Without counting the band's practical hiatus and the brief final comeback in 1996, the actual number of years for the band's peak was less than a decade. Can you imagine what kind of monstrous band it would've become had they stayed together another 5 to 10 years and recorded 3 to 4 more studio albums and toured for them? I have very little doubt that they would have become as big or bigger than the likes of The Stones or Zeppelin.
wow 😯 ... yes, can you just imagine that 🤔 ?? ... that's mind-blowing !! ... they really MIGHT have become bigger than Zeppelin or the Stones with Steve's powerful vocals 🎤 and with Neal's blistering guitar 🎸 solos ... but alas, it was just not meant to be 😕 ......
I'm so thrilled 💜 that Steve Perry has finally come back to us in the last 3 years, once again sharing his amazing Voice and his superb song 🎶 writing/producing talents, and his promise of more new music 🎶 to still come !!! ... he's still successful in his career and seems to have found such happiness 🙂🙂 and peace with life on his own terms ... so, now with Arnel as their lead singer, Journey will continue Steve's legacy, and maybe they will also still have a few more big hits hidden in their arsenal ... I've heard new songs 🎶 from them are also to be released sometime soon ... good things to come from both fronts !!! 💜💜💜🎶🎤🎶💜💜💜
@@debbieminton9589 Yes, the endurance of Journey's popularity is remarkable. But it's not surprising because the fans never could get enough of the music from the band even when they were struggling internally in the 80s. I think the combination and chemistry they had together were simply magical and timeless. While I don't think they'll exactly relive their heyday, I'm sure they will keep the legacy alive for some years to come.
Check out traces!
48 YEAR FAN of JOURNEY and counting!
Admire any band that can endure " band member changes", " Who owns the band name", Touring NONSTOP, and continuing to create and record new music 🎶
THANK U ARNEL for continuing the JOURNEY LEGACY since 2007.
Hats off much respect to Steve Aujeri and Jeff Scott Soto
Much love and adulation to ROBERT FLEISCHMAN...you still ROCK!
And to the GREATEST ROCK SINGER ON PLANET EARTH....
***WE MISS YOU STEVE PERRY***
And Steve Perry is one of the penultimate singers of our generation - hell of all time. Unmatched.
One of my favorite Journey deep cuts has always been Edge of the Blade. Neal's solo is incredible, and Perry absolutely kills it with the hard rock style.
When I think back about my teen years Journey is the background to every great memory. I felt that Journey didn't get the respect they deserved in the past and I'm so glad that the world seems to have come around to the true greatness that is Journey. The best live shows ever- Steve Perry somehow sounded better live. Neil Schon smoked the guitar and the energy of the band lifted stadium packed crowds. I can't pick
my top 5 hidden gems because I'm too big a fan- I can listen to every song no skips going on 35 plus years.
Journey has been so underrated for so long but people are really starting to revisit some older music and have realized just how special they akways were. The trio of Steve, Neal, and John are in a class all by themselves. In my opinion, the best ever!! Steve Perry is THE voice!! Ridiculous how good he is...
Journey will always be my #1
I was 7 when my parents bought Journey's Greatest hits, even though it had already been out for a decade. I don't know if there's a single album that captures as much nostalgia as it does for me. The artwork, the songs, everything. Every single song is an absolute classic and I could just sit and listen to it for hours.
I have to agree! My husband bought it for me for Xmas, and it was in my 6 disc player for years!
Steve Perry is truly a legend with that Voice. He’s got the best voice even now!! 🎤🎶🎶♥️
The live concert from Houston 1981 that was the source of clips for song #4 highlights the talent of Perry at the height of his vocal powers.
Glad I was able to see them in the 80's when they were at their best!
Still They Ride has always been one of my favorite Journey songs. You're right Professor, a very moving song.

Steve Perry is a legend. I haven˚t heard anyone like him at all.
Great job recognizing Mother Father, always my favorite, amazing vocals. This was actually the B Side of the first single Whos Crying Now, when I brought the single home and played Mother Father to see what it sounded like I was blown away, definitely Steve & Neals finest moment.

GREAT choice at #1. "Mother Father" is my favorite "gem" from them of all time, too.
5 weeks to record a masterpiece? A testament to 5 incredible musicians.
Through the years I have grown to admire and appreciate the band Journey. With all the changes Neal has been the rock to which the band stays strong. Music talent along the way made the band iconic. The one and only “The Voice” need I say more. To add Jonathan Cain addition was like getting a power hitting catcher who does just about everything. Each change gave the band a different tone but the core has always been Neal. Awesome job on this video. I’m looking forward to seeing them live.
Professor of Rock you are a modern music oracle.
I can’t believe the speed at which you are producing content. Not only content. Quality content.
How? How much scripting/research goes into every video? you talk about it all with such confidence watching your videos feels like a friend telling you a story. Such intimate yet enlightened experience.
Keep up the good work.
Wow! Thank you. We try. As long as you watch, we'll keep doing it.
I couldn't agree more, organized, in depth, thought through and entertaining. Adam doesn't just love and study music he breathes it
@Anna Trail no doubt about what you have said
TRUTH!!!🙌🏼👍🏽🎸🔊🎼🎶🎵
@@DC05570 You mean, three chords and the truth. :)
That brief time when there was dual lead vocals from Greg Rollie and Steve Perry gave an interesting perspective to the band that was lost when Greg left
"Infinity". Every track. "Feeling That Way" has one of my favorite Greg Rollie lead vocals. I'm glad someone here recognized his amazing talent.
That was the best lineup.
OMG Anytime/LaDoDa.... I can listen to that over and over and often do. Singing with reckless abandon. Cannot get enough of the Rolie-Perry tandem.
@@saturnynetitan I have been secretly hoping for Steve Perry and Greg Rollie to tour together😎
They were perfect together. Jon brought great song writtng and the songs did become more commercialized.
I was fortunate to see Journey in 1980 in Las Cruces, NM. After 42 years I was convinced to see them with the new singer....not the same. You cannot compare. Steve Perry's awesome soulful voice is the VOICE of Journey.
Eerie how similar our tastes are. Mother Father, the solos, that insane high note at the end, it is one of the best songs ever made. Send Her My Love is still my favorite Journey song though.
I love all things Journey....even cheesy videos from 80s but I just can't do any lineup other than original with Steve 💗🕊️

Still They Ride , one of my favorites. Steve reaches out with his vocals and penetrates your soul. It’s crazy.
Nailed it but I like “Rubicon” on side 2 of Frontiers as a hidden hidden gem
Likewise
I love Gregg Rolie on the Hammond B3 organ just oozing with blues on Walks Like A Lady. Especially when Rolie, Schon and Perry interplay their respective instruments live.
My favorite band. I agree with you! Mother, Father that last high note by Steve is all the feels.🎶❤️
❤️⚡️💯🎶 ”I’ll be alright without you”! One of my all time fav bands
Journey (Escape tour) was my first concert. I was in high school. Will never forget. Lights is still one of my all time favorite songs.
I'll Be Alright Without You is perfection. I love everything about that song. The vocals are great even by Journey standards. Niel's guitar at the end is an underappreciated solo.
I'll be alright without you. Is an anthem in my own soundtrack. And I will never forget the first time I heard the song. It involved the video and a Moosehead beer, neither disappointed.
How could he leave out "Stone In Love"? That was one of the most awesome tracks on Escape.
He actually devoted a whole video to that song and why it should have been a hit
Yes, I did an entire video on it about 6 months ago.
Yep, that's my favorite Journey song. Great guitar playing.
That kind of makes it even more odd that it didn’t make the list.
@@melrupinski88 this video was for top 5 HIDDEN GEMS "Stone In Love" is hardly a hidden gem. Everyone has heard that song. It's been on all their greatest hits releases and live album. The band still plays it live to this day. I would have picked "Dixie Highway" myself I was sure that or "The Party's Over" was gonna make the list.
Raised on Radio was Journey’s best album in my honest opinion, so rich in musical dynamics and the production was crystal clear yet still had warmth thanks to Randy Jackson’s funky bass. Suzanne is my favourite journey song.
🤦🏻♀️
Man, I couldn’t say it’s the best album, but surely it’s the album I listened the most. I really love it.
Everyone has their opinions that are valid to them. Mine is Frontiers, and that is the right answer. For me.
RoR is great for being all over the place, genre wise.
I’ve been heard it said that some consider “Raised On Radio” to be Steve’s “unofficial” 2nd solo album, as he was calling so many of the shots. Bringing on a new Bassist & Drummer that could give him more of an R&B feel and such. Can’t say they’re wrong, it was a bit of a departure (pun intended) from “Escape” & “Frontiers”.
It will always be my favorite album as it’s the first Journey album that I dove into head first for the first time. I was certain aware of the other hit songs, especially “Faithfully”, but that album was the first one I’d sit and listen to from beginning to end…then do it again….and again.
Their worst album by far. Cheesy 80s pop garbage.
i broke my back in 1982 in the U.K., permanently paralysed from the chest down. i had escape on my Walkman, it helped me through it. Perry is simply the greatest singer of all time.
OMG STEVE CAN SING. THIS IS A GREAT SONG.
my favorite journey hidden gems are are "Sweet and simple", " Eyes of a woman",

Love Eyes of a Women.
I completely agree with your #1. Mother Father is one of my favorite Journey songs. Every time I listen to it it’s cranked up and I sing along with abandoned. 😁
It's a classic for sure.
Open arms…. Lyric : “How much I wanted you home..” Talk about emotion… pain and longing for love….. great one
"Separate Ways" haunts me to this day. I first heard it/watched on MTV just a day or two after seeing my first "girlfriend" (never a committed thing, but we had a close friendship) for the first time in over a year in '83. The song just made me say, "Yes, we did, "touch and went our separate ways". We still have a great friendship all these years later. Yet, the song takes me back to Summer '83 and the "*gasp* Look who's here!" moment. Love that song. Great video Prof! Hard to pick a 'bad' Journey song...

Chain Reaction, Dead or Alive, Lay it Down, Line of Fire, Where Were You, People And Places, Homemade Love...
But Still They Ride TRULY IS a stunning piece of work. Schon’s solo is a clinic on building and releasing tension.
For my money, Departure was Journey’s heaviest album of the Perry era.
The story behind People and Places, I do not understand how anyone who has heard it could call them a "pop band." It stuck with me for days, and I was 10.
Absolutely love Raised on Radio. I'll be Alright and Girl can't help it are two of my favorites. The live version of Girl Can't help it has unbelievable vocals

Raised on Radio is definitely in their top 3 albums. Whole album is good. My favorites on the album are "Positive Touch," "It Could Have Been You," and "Why Can't This Night..."
That duo of Schon and Perry is great!
I'm 55 and to this very day not a single singer touches my soul like Steve Perry.
I was fortunate enough to see him live multiple times and would give anything to see him perform just one more time. What a dream come true that would be!
"Stay Awhile" is by far my absolute favorite song on this planet.
Anything on the album traces! He is still good in his 70’
Neal is one of my all time favorite guitarist! He’s just the greatest!!❤️🎸
For the 70's video, without question Somethin' to Hide has to place high on the list. This is the band at its deep track best, Steve Perry at the very height of his vocal power. Not just one of Journey's best, one of the best, period.
His falsetto on that song... Damn!
Steve was at his best on Infinity, I believe. He was great on all of their albums, but I think on Infinty his voice was at its purest.
I can honestly say I can’t pick or choose my favourites. Almost all of these songs take me back to a time of less complications and good times. Steve Perry will always be one of my favourite singers.
The genius of journey the melody the melting between the guitar of Neal Schon and Steve Perry will never be matched, this was a great Journey segment Keep them coming
“Still They Ride” is one of my all time favorites by Journey. Steve Perry’s vocals and Neil Schon’s guitar is just Epic for me. Great Tune!
When music actually had meaning

Mother Father. Steve PERRys voice is soooo beautiful. This song brings me to tears 😭. I love Steve Perry 😍💘💘💘💘😍
Patiently... One in a MILLION. That is my favorite seldom-heard Journey masterpiece.
We share the same passion for Journey. I love so much from the Gregg Rolie/Steve Perry era. Two deep cuts are “Homemade Love” and “Precious Time” one features Steve Smith’s impeccable groove and the other Neil Schon’s prowess!
"Mother, Father" is the story of my family, as if my brother had written the lyrics. Please do a video on it soon!
Neal Schon's best solo.
agree 💯 on Neal, and add 💯 that Steve Perry's vocals soar ... just that Steve was able to record it in ONE take is unbelievable !! ... it's such an amazing song !! 💜💜💜💜🎶🎤🎶💜💜💜💜
The definitive mic drop
Stay Awhile and Sweet and Simple are my favorite Journey hidden gem.
Still they Ride is one of my favorite Journey songs of all time. The memories and the story behind it... Thank you Adam!
Mother Father is my all time favorite Journey song. It’s amazing from first note to last! 🤘🏻
The Eyes of a Woman is another great deep cut off of Raised on Radio. - Russ
Journey comforted me through some very tough times in my life !!! They will always have a place on my record player and in my heart !!!
Got to agree the 70s - 80's produced the greatest music ever written and performed. Not that the other generations were terrible, but the sheer volume of great music that came out of the 70s-80's I don't think will ever be matched relative to QUALITY and QUANTITY. In fact we still see so much music of that era stolen and performed because it just cannot be matched. I'm so grateful to gave grown up during that time . From 1970-1989 I was 15 years old through 34 years old, the prime of my life, and the music made my life so memorable I still appreciate those magical music years. Thank You to all the great bands and singer-song-writers of that era. You all truly made my life a dream, even a heavenly time, that has continued into my golden years.
I love watching your shows on the various artists, especially Journey. I would love to see you do a show on "WHEN YOU LOVE A WOMAN" that they were nominated and won a Grammy for. That would be awesome to watch!
Yeah I wondered why no one mentioned it.
Great choices. 👍
A lot of people don't remember that Escape, Foreigner 4 and Hi Infidelity all came out at about the same time... Talk about an awesome time for rock fans!!!
I found myself screaming at my phone "Mother, Father!!!!!"Throughout your whole video! When you said it finally I felt vindicated. Certainly one of Journey's best! Truly one of the greatest songs ever!!!! It should have been released as a single...it would likely have given them a #1 hit.
