Journey is a great American rock band formed in 1973 by former members of Santana, Steve Miller Band & Frumious Bandersnatch. Journey had their biggest commercial success between 78-87, when Steve Perry was lead vocalist. They had so many hits including "Faithfully", "Who's Crying Now", "Still They Ride", "Wheel In The Sky", "Send Her My Love", "After The Fall", "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'", "Any Way You Want It" etc.
Journey is awesome, you mentioned Don't Stop Believing, every morning when I start my workout, I put in my earbuds, and that's the first song on my playlist. Thanks for the shoutout to Veterans and First Responders too, I did 4 years in the navy back in the 80's, and retired as a Firefighter.
I gotta give props to Cathy! This was a collab between the 2 of us! I love me some Journey! Can't go wrong with the 80s!! I'm so happy to see you enjoying yourself with these reactions!
Thanks to you and Cathy for this. I was lucky enough to see Journey live a couple of times. They are one of the few bands and individual singers who were just as good live as the studio version.
It’s so awesome watching these reactions to the songs I grew up on and falling in love with them just like we did as teenagers. Journey during the Steve Perry years was an amazing and epic experience. They were at their pinnacle of success. Keep the Journey reactions coming. There’s so many huge songs…the rabbit hole goes deep with them. Journey On.
This is the music of my childhood here. I had this album on vinyl and played it constantly. The lead singer Steve Perry stopped recording for years, but just a couple of years ago he finally put out a new album again. You should check it out. My favorite song off his new album is "Most Of All"
Seen them live back inthe day They sound better live..was an awesome show and it was outside. Show was scheduled for 1.5 hours started lightly raining Steve said if you are willing to be in the rain, we'll keep playing almost 3 hours. Even let people come up, and sing, play. I'll never forget it.
Steve Perry was also a part of USA for Africa "We Are the World", right after Kenny Loggins. I saw you just reviewed that one. ~ Ha, with Journey/Steve Perry, you can't beat 'live'.
I was actually at this concert at The Houston Summit. I was a senior in high school. I can't even remember how many times I've seen them. Perfection in their live performances.
For many years, this song was considered/ranked #1 if all Power Ballads...even now it's still highly considered! Steve Perry, Also check out Faithfully!!
Written by Steve Perry and Jonathan Cain. Jonathan Cain wrote the music when he was a member of The Babys 👶. He presented the music to lead singer John Waite, but he rejected it! 😖 Later that year, 1980, The Babys broke up (perhaps because they grew up! L 🤣 L). Keyboard 🎹 player and lead singer Greg Rolie retired. Thus, Jonathan Cain joined Journey. He presented the music to Steve Perry. He liked 👍 it and wrote the lyrics. This song was in the movies 🎥 Heavy Metal and The Last American Virgin. Great 👍 song 🎵 John Waite has no regrets in rejecting Open Arms. 🙄 He sang and is the main writer for Missing You. It was a big hot in 1984! 🤯 When Journey broke up, Bad English and The Storm were formed. Those were 2 bands with members of Journey. A few years ago, Arnel Pineda became the lead singer for Journey. Steve Perry left and is a solo singer. Suggested videos 📹: 1 John Waite songs Missing You 2 Bad English performs Straight to Your Heart 3 The Storm performs I've Got a Lot to Learn about Love 4 Arnel Pineda and Morissette Amon sing I've Finally Found Someone 5 Steve Perry sings Foolish Heart.
According to the liner notes in Journey's Time3 compilation, Jonathan Cain came to Journey with this melody already written. It could have been a song for the Babys, his previous band, except that Babys vocalist John Waite rejected the melody as "too syrupy." He sheepishly showed the tune to Perry on his portable Wurlitzer keyboard and Perry immediately wanted to do it. The rest of the band wasn't so sure. "They were opposed to the ballad," said Perry. "Neal hated the idea and Jon Cain thought maybe John Waite was right." The third single from Escape not only went on to become the band's highest charting single and sent album sales into orbit, but pioneered the entire concept of the power ballad. "Now everybody's got to have one," said Perry. Neil said it became a joke if Neil doesn't like it, it will be a hit.
59 year old woman who lived the times you're talking about. I think I was paying in the neighborhood of $.75/pack for Marlboro Lights 🤣. June 1983 LIVE Philadelphia JFK Stadium ... Sammy Hagar, Brian Adams, Loverboy, John Cougar, Journey, and The Tubes ... AMAZING CONCERT!!!!! Best times to be alive! 💞 So glad you appreciate such a wide variety of music.
Steve hit another gear LIVE. I saw them several times and he was ALWAYS on point, never missed a note. Faithfully, live is incredible! So is Why Can't This Night Go on Forever.
Great reaction brother to a great band that I had the pleasure.. to see that once but two times.. and the opportunity to spend one hour with Steve Perry.. four shots of tequila later and pictures and autographs were flying everywhere lol😂 love my 80s much love and respect from Miami to the 305..🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸..
If you do not do a Brett young reaction I am going to get all sweaty and stinky and come give you a hug😂 he's got I song it's called I don't want to write this song do the acoustic video version featuring Sean because it by his self but he redid it with Sean also he has a song called Mercy he did it on cmt's Crossroads with Boyz II Men Brett has a unique voice and a great voice so if you could please just do one reaction to him I will so much appreciate it much love from Alabama and as always God bless you and keep you amen amen
Gotta love that man's voice! omg , such a strong vocal. I absolutely LOVE that you do a double banger and listen to both live and studio...I think i've only seen 1 person do both once and they never did it again.
When there's an official video made for a song, ALWAYS react to that one. There is always a story that goes with the song that brings the meaning out a little more than just listening to audio or watching a live performance.
He IS the voice!! His voice is flawless……
YES!
Steve Perry's voice is Amazing. Love your double bangers. ❤

Same! 🥰
For many years, this song was considered/ranked #1 if all Power Ballads...even now it's still highly considered! Steve Perry, Also check out Faithfully!!
Do anyone else notice that when Steve walks or struts across the stage, his feet move to the beat of the music 🎶 🎵
No need to listen to the studio version, the live is always as good or better.

Steve Perry aka The Voice
He sounds just as good live as he does recorded
Remember listening to this when i was 16 on the stereo system, the whole album. Plus Foreigner 4, Bad Company, Led Zep. As Rick says times was good
It's a shame....I can't hear 'Don't stop Believing " without thinking of Corey Monteith and Lea Michelle and Glee!
Love your Journey reactions. Gonna check out some of your other reactions. Send Her My Love, Only the Young. 2 of my favorite Journey songs
When You Love a Woman is a great one. Journey later years. Was nominated for a Grammy.
Foreigner “I Want To Know What Love is”!
THE VOICE nuff said bar none
It has been said Steve can hit notes a soprano can not hit and transition back again. Effortless. One of the best.
Journey and Foreigner both bands the Kings of what many people call Arena Rock❤
Back in the 80s imagine this on the radio making out with your girl at the Drive-in movie.. GREAT TIMES!!
PERFECT...Steve Perry...Have ya done Stone in Love by Journey?
OMG!! I need a lighter to wave back and forth!! Great memories :-)
Journey live Houston Mother Father the vocal acrobatics are incredible
I was a teenager in love, growing up, listening to journey and about 500 other bands/ artists JS❤
7-11 had 3 hotdogs for $1.00
Was one of the greatest songs.
React to foolish heart by steve perry
Saw journey in houston and just recently found out that concert was recorded and bought the dvd! Took me back in time
U should do Chicago!!! That band is timeless
The live makes me cry. The studio was enough to make me yearn as a girl.
You are the only reactor I have seen do the comparison in the same video. I think it’s the best way to do it 😊❤
Right here with U.S. ARMY VETERAN
Love Steve Perry. His voice is amazing.
Journey is the ****💯💚💚💚💚💚

In May of 83 I saw Journey, Santana, Toto, The Tubes and Montrose in Oakland, Day On The Green. Best concert EVER!
The studio version is good but not at the level of the live...
