I graduated high school with journey . Fell in Love with Steve Perry and that gift of a voice . And he was easy on the eyes. What a time to grow up in the 80’s 💖
Steve Perry sure knew how to act in front of a video camera. He just pulled you in with his eyes and arms and it is like it's just you and him and no one else. COOLNESS
There is no other like Journey, Steve Perry ‘s VOICE is so unique like no other other, the other
Fantastic members of Journey fit the group better than a glove. I went to many of their concerts
in San Francisco, they are timeless. Thank you to Greg Rollie for helping this happen. Wishing
Best To All. “DON’T STOP BELIEVING”
Steve Perry...no other! The applause he got over the other band members was a true testament to the impact he had on music and Journey. Was beautiful to see and he took it all in as he so richly deserves.
I love Steve Perry. Best vocalist of all time! Irreplaceable. His voice is perfect like liquid gold.
So many nights driving home, blasting my Journey cassette tapes, singing along, leaving good feeling emotions stamped on my heart forever. Rediscovering those feelings through these videos on youtube.🥰
For me Infinity was my first introduction to Journey and it was Steve’s beautiful voice that hooked me. Neal is a beast on the guitar and I love Gregg’s smooth vocals but it’s Steve that gives me goosebumps. I don’t care who they get to tour with them now, it’s Steve who floats my boat.
Steve Perry for me!!
Steve Perry ''Still Looking Good after all these years '''WOW''💕
a band that match all of their instrumentals ❤️ vocal , keyboard , drummer , guitar and bass mixed perfectly . long live journey ❤️
Steve Perry💞 there is something about this Man that melts .
I Come over and Over to Listen to him and look up Whatever l can find about this gorgeous and always talented man💖💖
What Steve Perry and Journey accomplished in the 10 odd years they were together is MIND BLOWING - any band would think themselves blessed with even a 1/10 of Journey's success and talents - I mean look at their song catalogue - probably the greatest set of songs next to the Beetles catalogue. Look how many of those songs from 30+ years ago are still relevant today, enjoyed today - and why is that because Journey wrote about the everyman and what mattered to them - songs they could relate too, songs that are TIMELESS! Their live shows and touring are the stuff of legend and still talked about in awe, amazement and dismay - sweet baby Jesus how did they survive it!. A band known for playing better than their studio album...seriously who does that?!?! - Journey that's who!!! There is no denying that Steve and Neal brought out the best of each other's musical talents and that chemistry can't be bought or manufactured - Who ever came up with that cooperate rock label can suck it - true talent will always prevail and stand the test of time. God Bless Steve Perry and Journey for a wonderful legacy that generations will continue to enjoy
Journey..your the best..
Steve Perry you are great...thank you for the music you shares ..thank you steve for singing those songs with all your heart and soul...for me and i know millions of fans of journey...Steve Perry was and will always be the VOICE of journey....i love you Steve Perry.😍😍😍
Journey will always be the trend setter and now it's up to the younger bands to reach this level, it's a long way to the top where Journey comfortably sits.
Harry Balls Wow, I can finally agree with u cuz u had something positive and substantial to say! Kudos!
Congrats to every gentleman on the RRHOF stage in Rock band " JOURNEY"!
Neal,Jon,Steve P, Steve S,Ross, Gregg, Aynsley~ YOU GUYS ROCK! Thank you for 48+ years ❤ of creative genius.
Was at the induction of Journey into the Hall and it was stellar! Word on the street as of today is that Steve Perry has a new record and will be releasing it soon: I know it's been rumored for awhile but it seems to be coming to fruition. Steve was in the rehearsal studio in LA when he popped over to sing with Toad the Wet Sprocket. A music insider today says Steve is going to do a Special on CBS and his record will be released very soon. Hoping this rumor is true as waiting since 94 and the For the Love of Strange Medicine record/tour is far too long for the one known as "The Voice"! Steve is extremely special and gifted!
Stratospheric vocals....love it!!!! Steve Perry’s vocals are like none other and Journey deserved this honour, finally!!!
Tracy Agoston-Thompson Yes. They were so massive 1981-1983. No auto tune. They made an Atari game after this band. They did Budweiser commercials. I was lucky I saw them live in Chicago in October 1986. Nobody touches Steve Perry in his prime. Their sound live was so crisp and tight. Eventhough they got in HALL OF FAME....THEY STILL ARE UNDERRATED MUSICALLY. THIS BAND WAS PHENOMENAL!
Saw them in late September in Kansas City on that '86 tour. Best concert experience of my life.
Awesome tribute to Journey, I knew they were great I just learnt here that they changed the future of Rock and Roll, WOW!. I first listened to Journey in 1978 and immediately bought their LP 'Infinity' and tremendously loved the songs 'Wheels in the sky' and 'Lights' It was a great LP. I bought many of their LPs when they were first released and still have them. I had a great stereo and would have a lot of parties or get togethers from 1978 to 1988 and Journey music was always part of them. Steve Perry's voice was addictive he is that incredible. Been a huge music lover and collector for over 50 years and Journey is among my favourites of all time. I have 500 lps, 3,000 music cds and Zero mps as sounds lousy.
I love you Steve Perry.. Journey and arnel, long live..❤
Although separate ways is a great song and did feature a stellar vocal performance from Steve Perry, it is far from the first time it was clearly featured. May I suggest you start with the Infinity album? That one along with every subsequent album featured Steve’s one of a kind voice. God bless.
For me I started with Journey with 'Infinity' LP, I was hooked on it.
Just fantastic love love love.
my teenage reliving again x
Steve Perry's voice is his instrument and he plays it with virtuosity. He has no replica because as a front man he was the voice and the motion of Journey. He owned the songs, he didn't just sing them.
Even Neil said in recent interview, that Steve had played Drums for years, bass and even some guitar.
Steve Perry was
genius and a huge part of arranging, writing/co-writing, eventually, producing, part of recording, mixing, remastering & putting to vinyl recently. He is why so many albums were made and sold during his years. Journey has never put out as many albums in all the years since Perry wasn’t with them!
And yes, Arnel is 54 not 73 and hasn’t ever sang as many concerts to date as Steve did.
Well said!
Thank You @@joaniepolicy4176 ! For some reason Steve hasn't gotten full recognition for all of his efforts in bringing those iconic songs 'to vinyl'! Many times you hear "I did this...", "that why I..' from Jon and Neal. Even Rollie's "I /we started Journey.." - yet they fought back, didn't appreciate Steve at the time! Even though they were going nowhere until Steve came. Someday someone will write about what really split that iconic sound of the real Journey! -If and when SP will finally share his input!
The first time I saw Journey, I loved the music and still do. Steve Perry to this day his music still touches me. One of the documentary's I watched, I also liked what Greg Rolie said about leaving and how it was what was best for him. To Steve to this day I love your voice and the person you are. It would be the biggest thrill to be lucky enough to meet and talk to you, your fan always.
The 60s Had The Beatles, 70s had Led Zep and the 80s had Journey. I'm my opinion the tightest most proficient and impressive live band of thier era. No weak links and constantly impressive, JRNY ON
Take us back to Steve Perry 💖💖💖 always and forever legendary!
I love Journey. Steve Perry the best singer ever. But let's not forget the whole band. They are awesome and to me always will be. Would love to hear them one more time with Steve Perry. God bless
Great music and inspiring sounds that have been a big part of my life and people world wide. Congrats Journey!!!
The fans know Steve Perry put Journey on top. As long there is Steve Perry, we all know hes the best and greatest of all THE VOICE. 👍
This is awesome! I can only hope that the Hall will produce one of these for each and every inductee. I have long hoped the Hall would produce this sort of entertaining and informational media about its inductees. What a service, and resource, that would be!
So back in the mid 70's my parents where going threw a messy divorce and the only thing i could keep my mind off of things was music. So i would listen to the radio as much as i could and Journey AC/DC , Qween just to name a few was (my) escape from the yelling , fighting etc. Listen people music has carried me threw the toughest times of my life as is do for most of us. So as it was in the beginning of my life music will be there at the end of my life. I have a play list of Journey songs and with some other bands to send me off.
Very ,very emotional, to me,Love Journey, forever and ever,Steve Perry, Neal Schon.....most of all
Great Steve Perry, uma das vozes mais linda que ja ouvi, e de um timbre fantástico, adoro Journey, adoro Stive Perry, the Bests, i liked very much :-) Thanks for Video !
70s, 80s and 90s are the best eras of music! 👍👏
Yes and also the 1960s as I began listening to music in 1960 and loved music big time 60s, 70's and 80's.
Not at all it started by the Beatles in the 60s
Not very original, but the greatest band ever. My favorite. The only thing I think they completely missed is Neal's epic solos. I have said, no other guitarist had moved me to tears than Neal's solos. I truly believe the mixture of Neal and Steve Perry was the perfect mix. Jon was perhaps the background glue, but the two lights that stunned brightest was both Schon and Perry.
YES PLEASE DONT FORGET US CALIFORNIA GUYS HAD JOURNEY ON THE TURNTABLES WITH OUR GUITAR S N BASSES LEARNING SPACE MAN SATURDAY NIGHT IT WENT ON AND ON STEVE ADDED THE VOICE OF ONE BAD DUDES SPINE GOOSEBUMPS ME BROKENNESS BROUGHT PAIN TO DRIVE ME N MY GUITAR TO DONT STOP BELIEVING JOURNEY YOU DID MORE THAN PLAY YOU GAVE ME INSPIRATION TO PLAY N WRITE N HEALING ME WAS ALL YOUR DOING THANKS SO MUCH MAN
Best band ever! Been a Journey fan for 35 years now! Miss Steve Perry being in the band. Hope he comes back soon.
nah hes not coz hes voice not the same as before
Steve Perry best voice wow
No body could be like Steve Perry thank u for GOOD time back in the day #1fan
Steve Perry class act.. there is no journey without Steve he’s a shining star that never dims.. the voice
But there's no RRH award without Arnel. It's Arnel's effort not by Perry.
@@danymerilles5914 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
@@danymerilles5914 That assertion is incorrect. Arnel, though a gifted vocalist, is not in the RRHOF. Journey is able to continue to tour because of Arnel. They are in the HOF because of Steve Perry, and the other band members that were inducted in 2017. Again, the current lineup is talented and able to entertain the masses on tour but the groundbreaking writing, productions and live performances that put them into the RRHOF and that we continue to hear on radio, commercials, movie/television soundtracks are from the inducted members from 40 years ago.
@@jeremiechandler7178 how could i believe in your statements if Perry's career ends in 1997, your imagination is so high or you are dreaming hey wake up..
@@danymerilles5914 , no need to believe me. You don't know me well enough to trust what I say. Just look it up. The band is in the RRHOF for their past work, NOT from anything they've released over the past 10 or 20 years. Btw, I have no idea that if Steve Perry were still their lead singer, they'd be charting anymore either. It's not a slam to Arnel. Again, Arnel allows them to keep touring with their hits and working on new songs with their signature Journey sound. Arnel can match Steve Perrys tone very well. But again, look it up. The members you saw giving the acceptance speeches are the members of Journey in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, none of the other lead singers and none of the band members that filled in here and there. Google it: "Which members of Journey are in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame".
Arnel is a wonderful vocalist for sure though AND from what I've read, and see via interviews and documentaries, he is a sweetheart of a good guy too it seems. Happy Journey loving man! 👍❤
In rock & roll of Fame at last👍🙏😔
Those were the glory days of Journey. It is now Feb. 2023 and they just started another tour. I'm guessing they might retire at the end of the tour but you never know. 50 years is a really good run for a band. I think in the end, Steve made the right decision when he left the band. They did the right thing when they found Arnel. Their music will hopefully not fade away.
I LOVE Steve Perry solo and with Journey. Thank goodness for HERBIE HERBERT who is THE one who decided to bring #Steve Perry on board after the final last bit of persuasion from his wife. NOT the group but Herbie THE manager. No one else!!! And the band took off. Bring in Jon Cain in 1980 and their meteoric rise was sealed. Truly a band!
Yes Thank Goodness for Herbie Herbert! Didn't know his wife had a part in that! Herbie was a genius too, and he's on tape admitting Journey was about to get canceled from doing the opening act gigs on the tours until he brought in Steve Perry! It was not the direction the 2 former Santana musicians wanted to go! But as has been said, Steve wrote songs about what people were actually experiencing. No longer a jam, fusion band it sold immediately and many other bands followed suit! The rest is history. Thank Goodness for Herbie Herbert!
Love Perry's new song "No Erasin!"
Terrible
A very young Steve Perry can be seen/heard on a UA-cam interview, where HE describes how he came up with most of those lyrics to “Don’t Stop Believing”. Jonathan Cain may have written the music/arrangement & a few lyrics….but they were mainly from Steve Perry and Steve explains them.
I think is steve make the lyric only the title jon have, and all the mind for don’t stop believin is steve idea. Thats was correct by jon from another interview, jon was jealous of steve.
@@paolasin05 Jon didn't even come up with the title, he got it from his father.
Jon has tried to take credit for the song for years, but fortunately many know Steve's talent in producing ( literally building a song) comes from Steve Perry.
If it had been anyone else - why haven't they done anything substantial since?
On the Rsised On Radio Album in 1986. Randy Jackson i didn.t know he was with Journey. Before his current days with American Idol
REALMENTE CUANDO ESCUCHABA ESTAS CANCIONES ME IMAGINABA MI FUTURO EN USA, PERO NO ME QUEDE Y CON EL TIEMPOS SEGUI ESCUCHANDO LA MUSICA DE JOURNEY HOY CON PROBLEMAS EN MI FAMILIA CON UN INTEGRANTE AL QUE ACTUA CON EL CORAZON FRIO HACIA A SUS PADRES QUE LE HAN DADO TODO, Y SE COMPORTA ASI, SE ME APROXIMA EN MI MENTE EN LO HABER TENIDO HIJOS Y HABERME QUEDADO SOLTERA Y HUBIERA CONOCIDO EL RESTO DEL MUNDO, LA VIDA TE DA SORPRESAS, ME DUELE POR NO VER A DOS CHIQUITINES QUE MI CORAZON LATE A MIL POR ELLOS , PERO ESTA PERSONITA OBEDECE A LA PAREJA, DEJANDO DE LADO EL AMOR, PATERNAL, FILIAL, Y DUELE, MEJOR ME HUBIERA IDO A USA A LOS VEINTE Y NO SUFRIR TANTO DESPRECIO A UNA MADRE Y A UN PADRE. NO PONGO EL OTRO CACHETE SOLO ESPERO, PARA VER QUE PASO SIGUE, CUANTO MAS PUEDE EJERCER PRESION ESTA PERSONA, EN CONTRA DE NOSOTROS, PERO ME CONSUELA AL ESCUCHAR JOURNEY Y SOÑAR QUE AUN ESTOY JOVEN Y QUE VIAJO POR EL MUNDO CON SUS CANCIONES,LA IMAGINACIONY LOS SUEÑOS SON GRATIS Y ADELANTE
Icons for sure!!
Awesome video!
In my eyes Steve Perry is the best Vocalist in Rock History
Yo pienso exactamente igual
Amen!!
100% agree!!!!!!
Finally!!
I got married to Open Arms in 84. Still married.
Maybe one day I will get the chance to go to the hall of fame???
They were the sound track to my teenage years. Perry's voice is about the best there ever was.
ROCK ON MAN.
Steve Perry took them from almost being dropped by their label to greatness. THEY OWE HIM..
I was into two bands pretty heavy in 1978 at age 10, and they were Journey and The Police, and it's funny because although you cant deny how good the Escape album was in 1981, or 1980s Police album with Da Do Do Do, it was the Polices first two albums, and Journey's Infinity 1977/78 through Evolution, and their live 1980 album "Captured" that I really dug! After Escape I had no interest in Journey, and by 1980 I wasn't that into the Police, although I can appreciate both bands. With say Zep, The Beatles or Stones and those mega bands, you didn't really have to be there, but if you didn't live through the Journey day's once Perry arrived, then there's no way of understanding what that music brought. Journey was very unique and kicked ass!
I had issues when Greg left. I picked up Captured in the summer of 80-or 81. I wore the damn thing out! Seemed after Escape they began to change. Next they fire Ross and Steve?!! To damn bad they couldn't make things work out. Greatful for the beautiful music. Frustrated with the damn fighting.
I could be wrong... but the drummer at the 2:22 mark appears to be Graham Lear... was no aware that he played live with Journey.. after some research, it appears that it is actually Aynsley Dunbar....wow... they sure favor back then..
Steve Perry took Journey to stardom
I'm glad Rolie and Dunbar were there. To me, the best music was when Rolie was in the band, and I slightly prefer Dunbar over Smith. I can take the first two albums and loop them non-stop and never get tired of them.
Lights, Feeling That Way - Anytime. The hat trick of awesomeness. I think the songs were so much better when they used Rolie AND Perry on vocals, like Feeling That Way and Anytime.
Yo soy fan de Greg Rolie desde 1970, cuando santana estuvo en su apogeo...pero cuando ingresa Cain y sale Greg, Journey mejoró....Greg era muy inclinado al blues, eso no sucedio con Cain que era mas dinamico...Viva Santana...Viva Journey...
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank U Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for to send me
O(+>
!!!JOURNEY FOREVER!!!
!!!!!!!STEVE PERRY FOREVER!!!!!!!
Super
they got inducted too late.. should deserve more! nonetheless i thank god for giving us these talented musicians to humankind.
Nothing about the early years but a footnote...what a surprise.
They had a 7 minute tribute and it was great so short and very sweet.
And they were using numbers as letters way before it became cool, as they say.
STEVE PERRY'S VOICE WAS PHENOMINAL, WAS....
TP 4UrbHol he still sounds great. His voice has matured, not the same. Stay stuck in the 70s/80s.
In fairness we love journeys I love you honey
schon the ''wife'' stealer....i'am surprised,he never got a beat down for that.
Not the time to throw shade... Don't be a turd in the punch bowl... 😅
Nobody since the 80's has come close.
The Sound 100.3 is planning to pay tribute to a number of station features for the last time over the next few weeks, including “Roll the Dice” (which determines the number of songs played by each artist) on Monday (Oct. 16), “Album Sides Wednesday” (Oct. 18), “Triple Play Thursday” (Oct. 19) and a “My Turn” marathon, with repeats of the station’s most popular guest DJs (B.B. King, Joe Walsh, Jeff Lynne and Steve Perry) on Sunday (Oct. 22).
The station is setting up a message line at (323) 692-5410 and email (HeySound@The SoundLA.com) for requests.
Escape went platinum 11 times!!!❤
Gregg Rolie and Neil Sean and Deen Castronovo should just do what album together with some bass player adidon
They tried!
There next honour should be The Kennedy Center Honour, there just as great as
Led Zeppelin in my book...
Greg rolly made journey??? Or better say..he start the band..but Steve Perry actually made journey..the band gained their popularity when Steve joined the band..it was Steve amazing voice..Cain talent in composing the song and schon guitar..make them history!
Pat Monahan aint Steve Perry.
What about the other members. They all should be there
"saving me from the restaurant business"--does he mean mcdonald's ha ha?
After he left Santana, he started a restaurant with his father.
Damn Neal schon didn’t age well.
He may have aged really well...but surgical intervention isn’t always the best thing to do.
Nor bad wigs!@@lisabellamy8424
This band is no Zeppelin or Beatles but deserved to be in sooner. Schon is a fine guitar player and their best yrs were when Greg Rolie was in the band. They obviously had hits after that when Cain joined the band but it was kinda schmaltzy at that point after the Escape album, anyhow. Well deserved but don't get carried away saying this band I better than the Beatles or Zeppelins or the Who
Just give the speech and stop trying to sing its not your night
A good team but not outstanding. Maybe in the US, almost unknown in Europe ..
In their heyday you are right, almost unknown in Europe, very well known in Asia, and inescapable in the US. With the state of rock & roll today though they are now very well known worldwide.
I'm sorry but I disagree. Journey has played all over the world and are one hell of a band! With Steve Perry's vocals, he shot them to the top! A Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a Bammie and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame among some of their well deserved awards. If that's not outstanding, I don't know what is.
YES outstanding in USA , they were a TOP TEN hit makers every LP in USA and Canada once Steve Perry joined with Journey.
Perry's contribution made the the music too mushy ie "Open Arms" but 14 yr. old girls dig it, men not so much!
Even though they softened later on in the Perry years, their talent still stands. Their first 4 albums with him were stellar.
Jonathan Cain is the one that brought the mush to the band not Perry.
So you didn't love them, so what, they had 25 hits on 9 LPS, I'm a MAN and loved all their music and so did my friends who were MEN
Because of one man Journey has kept the fire burning yet has been left out of the induction???? Plain mistake or racism?
Neither. The Rock Hall chose to induct the hit making factory of the 70's/80's, the lineup(s) that made the most impact on rock & roll (25 hits on 9 albums). The Journey fire has kept burning because of many men not just one, but if it was just one you know who it would be, let's be honest here.
He didn't contribute to their catalogue. When you think of Journey you think of the 70's 80's and early 90's. It's during that era that their GREATNESS was established. They're like a Karaoke band now.
The reason why Journey got an award in RRH for the first time it's because of Arnel not by Perry.
😂😂😂😂
Are you crazy???? When Journey was creating their amazing catalogue Arnel was somewhere on the streets of Manila!!! Perry wrote these masterpieces not Arnel. Steve Perry is the VOICE of Journey you sicko
Are you hallucinating dude!!!. Arnel a’int part of journey in 80’s beside its steve perry the one writing those song together with cain and neil. I can say its journey collaboration with arnel…..
