My favorite song by Journey! On my 18 birthday, I called in to a radio station and told them it was birthday and to play "Lights". And they did! I'm in my 60's now. Awww...memories! Still my favorite by Journey!
In my all time top 10 EVER. Steve Perry's voice is perfection. When Jamel starts snappin' his fingers and groovin' you just can't stop when the magic hits ya!
Before joining Journey, singer Steve Perry had written the lyrics in Los Angeles, with the line 'when the lights go down in the city and the sun shines on LA.' But he changed the lyrics when moving to San Francisco, and joining Journey.
True fact, yup. Nothing on earth like watching the entire Los Angeles basin, from downtown to LAX, catch the first rays of the day from the top of Sunset Plaza Drive above the Strip --and SF'll take your breath away, too. Been 30-plus years since I've laid eyes on either...
It fits San Francisco way better than LA. I can't imagine anyone writing a song about being homesick for LA. San Francisco, yes. Plus San Francisco's NorCal nickname is "The City".
Steve Perry is a huge SF Giants baseball fan! They play this during the 7th inning stretch! He is so cool; he gets out of his seat and sings with the crowd on the bleacher stairs!!! I love that man!! And I love you and your channel too! ❤
Neal Schon grew up in San Mateo. I was one year ahead of him in elementary school. A mutual friend who went to high school with him told me he was recruited by Carlos Santana for his second or third album. A week later he was approached to join the then forming Derek and the Dominos. A week or two later it was either Mike Bloomfield or Dave Mason. Heady stuff for a high school junior. I later read this again on Wolfgang's Vault, IIRC.
I went on an evening dinner boat cruise through the San Fran Bay. The band played "Sitting on the dock of the Bay". The last song of the night was "Lights" though. It was so beautiful to dance to. I'll never forget how magical the view was with this song.
Yes, definitely a San Francisco based band. Guitarist Neal Schon and keyboardist Greg Rolie started out being in Carlos Santana's band (Schon was a teenage prodigy). Rolie sang lead on "Black Magic Woman".
Wow! So many of the songs Mr. Jamel reviews have been "my songs" in the past, but I somehow made it to the ripe old age of 65 without knowing this very interesting fact! I lived in the Bay Area in the early 80's and owned every Journey album on vinyl at the time. Have loved Santana since Woodstock. I was a little young then but my dad played guitar for his own pleasure so I always noticed great guitar players.
Yup and when Steve Perry joined he pushed Rolie out of the band. Rolie knew by them getting Steve he was out. Rolie was a talented singer and keyboardist
One of the years the SF GIANTS were in the world series, they played this in between innings and Steven Perry was there. He was out of his seat conducting the fans on the big screen.
@@maine420grow I was at Fenway on Memorial Day right after the Boston Marathon bombing. I'm a Phillies fan, but everyone was a Boston fan as they sung Sweet Caroline that night
Saw them 2015 with Steve Miller Band then in 2016 with, wait for iiiit, The Doobie Brothers. Journey is a perfect live band, plus the wife is a Pinay so we have to see Arnel !
I've never heard anyone bag on Journey, ever. I'm 52 years old. That's a lot of years for me to notice if Journey ever was bagged on. But this is the first time I've ever heard the term "bag on", LOL Do you mean "rag on"?
Yes! Journey is from San Francisco. In fact on their Captured album, Steve Perry says “We wrote a song about our hometown ,San Francisco...it’s called Lights.” Also Steve Perry was a big fan of Otis Redding. It is a small homage to “Dock of the Bay” when he says “So you think you’re lonely. Well my friend, I’m lonely too.”
In his prime, Steve Perry's vocals were incredible and Neil Schon is an under appreciated guitarist. Infinity was the gold standard album for Journey and the old Journey is their best music IMHO. 👍🤘✌️
Yes. I remember seeing this first public show with Santana. We were all 15 too. After he was with Journey I remember seeing him out in the clubs. He drove a white Ferrari back then. The good old days in the Bay!
The 70’s-80’s San Francisco sound is greater than most imagine. Jefferson Starship changing to Starship, Journey, Huey Lewis & The News and hardly anyone touches or knows of Pablo Cruise. Oakland gave us the rise of the Pointer Sisters. Definitely San Francisco. The band formed there and Steve Perry is from Hanford in the Central Valley.
@@Kilroy-h5u Thank you! “Whatcha Gonna Do” and “Love Will Find A Way” were the staples of their awesome work together but “I Go to Rio” and “Cool Love” were great live.
yes, Pablo Cruise was also known in Germany, I had all their records from 1975-77, great band "Island Woman" and "Place in the sun" are one of my faves, greetings from Berlin
Just such a gorgeous song. I love this band, musicianship, vocals, lyrics, songwriting. Journey is just one of the best, never had a bad song in my opinion. Thank you for your reactions, they are genuine and heartfelt.
The "Voice" was born and raised in Hanford, CA. about 30 min south of Fresno. And yes, this song is about SF. The line "When the lights go down in the city.. and the sun shines on the bay" is in reference to the tall skyscrapers in downtown, and anybody who lives around here knows, that they leave the lights on in those buildings all night long.. So as the day is dawning the lights go "down" or turn off in the city and aren't as visible when the sun starts to rise.. That's where the "sun shines on the bay part comes in".. The lights go down in the city when the sun shines on the bay basically.. 🙂
Steve Perry actually wrote the song about Los Angeles when he was living out there. Once he joined Journey, he changed the words to city by the bay and made it about San Francisco since the rest of the band were from there.
Man what a great song. Even though I'm not from SF whenever I heard this song played on my playlist while deployed (6 times) it always made me think of home (Texas). Thanks for sharing it. 👍👍🤘🤘
I remember the audience cheering when this song started playing during a laser light show in the planetarium of the Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park, way back in 1980. I’ve always loved this song. Thanks for your reaction!
If you want a great live performance by Journey check out "Still They Ride" - Live Tokyo 1983. I heard he had the flu that show but you would never know it, his voice was magic. I love Journey and I was so glad I got to see them back in the day!
LOVE your reactions! The great Chaka Khan did background vocals on the studio track of this song. As you may have been told, the keyboard player, Greg Rollie was in Santana and is seen in the Woodstock video for Soul Sacrifice. Later guitarist Neal Schon joined Santana. The two later formed Journey...Keep spreading the love.
Neil Schon always seems to play the perfect solo... Appreciate the reaction. So much more in Journey's deep, deep catalog to react to. 'Stone in Love' is a must listen.
Yes! One of my favourite Journey songs that I grew up hearing as a kid, thanks to my mom. Along with the songs Wheel in the Sky and Lovin', Touchin, Squeezin'. For so long I pictured the singer as a black woman. lol
Got to see these guys 3x back in the 1980's and damn!... What a show they put on! Steve loved it to see the audience singing and swaying along. And the band interacts with their fans.
The harmonies of Greg Rolie and Steve Perry were one of my favorite things about Journey in the early parts of their careers. Both keyboardist and singer Greg Rolie and Guitarist Neil Shon played with Carlos Santana who is from San Francisco on the song Black Magic Woman.
Journey had two descent albums but when Steve Perry joined and they made Infinity, it blew up. Gregg Rollie great harmony. But Steve Perry changed everything. Neil Schon had some great licks with Santana that a lot of people thought was Carlos. Like Everybody's Everything.
I just have to recommend Journey Stone In Love to you, Jamel! Talk about a song that will take you straight to Throwbackness! I guarantee you will love it. 🎶❤
So excited you did this song! One of my all time favorites and it hardly gets mentioned. It became a song about San Francisco and since I'm from the Bay Area it was played A LOT. Does anyone remember oh, oooh oh being sung as KFRC?
I still remember my one Journey concert. 1987 if I recall, general admission, standing room only. In a group dancing & singing to every song. Before the days of cell phones, I couldn't locate my friends until leaving and walking to my car. We went out for pizza and partied the rest of the night. A night to remember.
Jamal had done numerous journey hope he does a lot more please hope he does wheel the one video where he is dressed in white when he 1st started when he hits the note with NS playing unbelievable . PLEASE JAMAL more SP and Journey being they r from Cali lol
My favorite Journey song has always been "Raised on Radio". It never got a lot of airplay, nor was it very popular, but dang - it has a beat that will get you up dancing, and it has a LOT of musical reminiscing in it.
I've seen Journey live a few times - the crowd loves to sing along with this one. I love San Francisco (I'm from L.A. but I love all of California), and this song will always make me think of that great city. Steve's voice is so amazing.
This song is so soothing and the harmonies are impeccable. Steve Perry is an awesome singer, great band. What a vocalist. Jamel have a listen to faithfully it's emotional!!
Look for: "Steve Perry & 43,000 Friends NEVER 'Stop Believing' in the GIANTS - NLCS Gm 5". They played Journey over the PA system and Steve Perry was in the crowd.
Jamel, listen to "Feeling That Way / Anytime" you must listen to both songs together. It's a sin to us Journey fan not to. Feel good lover's song most definitely.
Consider doing the live version of 'Girl Can't Help It'. Perry's vocals are off-the-chart fantastic, especially considering it's live, and the band kills it as well.
'When the lights go down in the City/and the sun shines on the Bay...' Lived in Palo Alto for a year and loved it--spent weekends in the city going to clubs and hanging out at friends apartments in North Beach. Best year of my life. This is one of Journey's best songs, you can feel the love in Steve's voice. Thanks for posting this, Jamel :)
and it shows on the incredible 1st album I loved all 7 songs on Journey self titled album (1975) my favorites were In The Morning Day, Kohoutek, To Play Some Music, and Topaz yes in the order they are on the album songs 2,3,4,5 on the album but there is no weak link on it Of a Lifetime, In my lonely feeling/conversations, and mystery mountain all are awesome songs also the whole album is like a jam session. 37 minutes of bliss. ]:)
Gregg Rolie helped co found Santana with Carlos then he formed Journey with Neal Schon who also left Santana with him then he also made The Gregg Rolie Band later. Everyone remembers Gregg singing Black Magic Woman ]:P
My absolute favorite Journey song! I'm from NorCal - Santa Cruz, so when "the sun shines on the bay" I'm thinking of the Monterey Bay, of course. This song just makes me so homesick and I usually cry everytime I hear it. My eyes are already watering up.
My first love. Journey i first heard when I was 11. Steve Perry was my first love and still is to this day! Saw them live...Steve is like Dio...beautiful through and through!
i LOVE this song so much, and i LOVE san francisco.... this song moves me to tears of joy every time. i don't know if people in the city get tired of this song, but i will never tire of it.
Best Jam 🎸 of all time.. a love story for sure, San Francisco is one of those places that you just wish to spend a few days chillin in the fog below the Golden Gate.
Praise God we are all here! This is one of my all time feel good so every. This is a original music video. Love is the Answer, Every Kind of People. All great songs. You Know What To Do by Stryper. Allison Moyet remake of The First Time I Saw Your Face and Crystal Ball. All are must listening too.

Praise the Lord We are finally here!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes Yes San Fran !!!~ Santana CCR G. Dead and Jefferson Airplane and many many more from the Bay area !~!
Saw them in 1982. Cow Palace, they brought the SF 49 era on stage....wow...they opened with this I think.....
Yeppers. I’m in Santa Cruz. The lights on the bridges are like strings of pearls across the water if you see them from Tilden Park😉
My favorite song by Journey! On my 18 birthday, I called in to a radio station and told them it was birthday and to play "Lights". And they did! I'm in my 60's now. Awww...memories! Still my favorite by Journey!

I've said it before. Steve's voice just scoops one up and hugs you. It's an experience to listen to with one's eyes closed
So true
They are from San Francisco. As a matter of fact two members of Journey were with the original Santana band.
I knew Neal Schon was in Santana, but who was the other one? I love Santana.
Keyboard player Greg Rolie
@@mreye73 Thanks for the info.
Neal Schon grew up in San Mateo. I was one year ahead of him in elementary school.

In the seventies we called this babe magnet music. Extremely great song.
As a babe from the seventies, I can confirm.
See also “Faithfully” from Journey and “Babe” from Styx. 💋
@@ms.chuckfu1088 Nice!
It still IS babe magnet music!!!!
@@ms.chuckfu1088 what happened when you heard it? Was it like you went into a trance and guys used the Jedi mind trick on you?
@@grandadneal8114 ROFL
Love this song. Steve Perry's voice is incredible.
Yeah- those guys crushed it.
"lovin touchin sqeezen" please ☮️
He did that reaction already I think
If you search Jamel plus the song in the search box, you'll find all his Journey reactions. ❤️
oh yes!!! and " any way you want it " !!!
Along with, and followed by, 'city of the Angels'. Early 80s, Hit Radio always played these two songs together.
Journeys best song
One of the years the SF GIANTS were in the world series, they played this in between innings and Steven Perry was there. He was out of his seat conducting the fans on the big screen.
Zito Game 1 of the 2012 WS. I was there. Steve was there, doing his thing. James Hetfield too.
@@timothyjamesjones I'm a Sox fan but I love a great baseball moment. We had Neil Diamond come sing Sweet Caroline at Fenway.

@@timothyjamesjones I was there, too! My brother flew out from NY, and paid a ridiculous amount for the tix, but it was a great game!
Which makes the hat choice for this video all the more perfect.
I've spent several summers in the bay area visiting family. This song sits in a special place in my heart. Love....
People like to bag on Journey, but they have some great tunes, and their greatest hits collections are non-stop enjoyment. ~Be Blessed
Baggin’ on Journey? Not in my universe.
@Rich Rogers and yet Lights is the only song of theirs(that I've heard) I actually like. I don't understand either.
Bag on Journey?? Never heard of that. Only someone who hates music maybe lol.
Those guys are legends
Saw them 2015 with Steve Miller Band then in 2016 with, wait for iiiit, The Doobie Brothers. Journey is a perfect live band, plus the wife is a Pinay so we have to see Arnel !

@@maryklacik5358 ,yes thx you,freakin spell check,guess I should read it after,lol
The other members of the band were from the SF bay area.. they were a band before Steve Perry joined.
In his prime, Steve Perry's vocals were incredible and Neil Schon is an under appreciated guitarist. Infinity was the gold standard album for Journey and the old Journey is their best music IMHO. 👍🤘✌️
NEAL SCHON IS ONE OF THE BEST
While Infinity is a good album imo evolution tops it. Evolution is my fav album
Raised on Radio was the last true album they made in my opinion.
Thank you for avoiding the dreaded U word. I swear if I hear that one more time! 🤣
Neil was a hell of a guitarist at the young age of 15 with Santana.
Neil was born, at Tinker Air Force Base, Midwest City, Oklahoma. I worked there for 32 years. Born the same year.
NEAL Schon is AWESOME
Yes. I remember seeing this first public show with Santana. We were all 15 too. After he was with Journey I remember seeing him out in the clubs. He drove a white Ferrari back then. The good old days in the Bay!
Agree...
Love this song, love Journey, love Steve Perry and I LOVE “THE CITY” OF SAN FRANCISCO!!!!!!!

Neal Schon can freaking wail on guitar, he’s so underrated.
I don't think he's underrated.
@@karingraf536 I think Rick Beato has him in his top 25. That's saying something!
He’s one of the “Best”!
He’s perfectly rated
Lots of people forget that he was in Santana when he was a teenager.
Steve Perry also LOVES the San Francisco Giants fan and can be seen in several photos wearing a baseball cap just like the one you're wearing!
Yes they are from San Francisco ,in fact Steve perry is a huge giants fan
Other members may be from SFO but Steve is from Hanford, California.
Steve has been known to be sitting in the crowd and lead them in song during the 7th inning stretch during Giants games.
Who isn't??
😁
Don't know who the Giants are.
@@karingraf536 it’s baseball
Yes another beautiful song. Love it and Journey as well.
Steve Perry, incredible voice! Met Steve and the band at Orpheum Theatre in Boston back in the day. Lights is one of my favorite Journey songs.
Yes, they are. He originally wrote the song about Los Angeles before he joined Journey but changed the lyrics to SF when he joined.
3:36, you know a song is fire when Jamel goes all Stevie Wonder.
I was going to say he felt it at 1:26 when he started snapping his fingers, and feeling like he just got wrapped up in a warm blanket.
on the bay for sure . Stone in Love is another good one from journey
My second favorite Journey song. My favorite is " I'll Be Alright Without You".
Definitely another great one!
Definitely a favorite
A favorite of mine too👍🏻
I don't that one. What? My favorite is faithfully then don't stop believing and lights is 3rd
Not only did we have Steve's epic vocals here, but the vocal harmonies are just spine-tingling!
Just such a gorgeous song. I love this band, musicianship, vocals, lyrics, songwriting. Journey is just one of the best, never had a bad song in my opinion. Thank you for your reactions, they are genuine and heartfelt.
I was born in the Bay Area and my parents are huge Journey fans. Whenever I hear this song, it takes me home.
Steve Perry....one of the GOAT lead singer. Just awesome! Separate Ways is an all time favorite as well as Foolish Heart (very romantic song).
The "Voice" was born and raised in Hanford, CA. about 30 min south of Fresno. And yes, this song is about SF.

Journey live was an amazing event. Not only did Steve sing, he literally ran around the stage like a track.
saw Journey in concert 2 times. 2017 and 2018. they are one of my favorite 70'5 and 80's rock bands!

Still gives me chills after 40 years...and I think I was only 10 the first time...it's a classic piece of music that nobody can ever take away 🎶
1978
Props to the founding member singing vocals with Steve Perry! They are talented vocalists in their own right.
I confess I was never a big Journey fan, but I swear, this is one of my favorite songs. It's perfection.
Yes! One of my favourite Journey songs that I grew up hearing as a kid, thanks to my mom. Along with the songs Wheel in the Sky and Lovin', Touchin, Squeezin'. For so long I pictured the singer as a black woman. lol
Saw them on that Tour in 1978... I was twenty years old 🎶
I saw them in concert 1983 in Charlotte N.C. I was 19. I still have my tshirt from the concert. ❤❤❤
saw the same tour. second loudest show I've ever been to. loud but crystal clear. (Montrose, and John Niles opened the show) cheers...
Chicagofest 1978
Cool
Got to see these guys 3x back in the 1980's and damn!... What a show they put on!
Steve loved it to see the audience singing and swaying along.
And the band interacts with their fans.
“What in the Tye-dye is goin on?” Sounds like a new t-shirt 🤣
The harmonies of Greg Rolie and Steve Perry were one of my favorite things about Journey in the early parts of their careers. Both keyboardist and singer Greg Rolie and Guitarist Neil Shon played with Carlos Santana who is from San Francisco on the song Black Magic Woman.
Now that you are going down the Journey road - you need to listen to Feeling That Way and Anytime (preferably together as they are meant to be heard).
I think he did that one already?
Journey had two descent albums but when Steve Perry joined and they made Infinity, it blew up. Gregg Rollie great harmony. But Steve Perry changed everything. Neil Schon had some great licks with Santana that a lot of people thought was Carlos. Like Everybody's Everything.
I saw🔥 Journey🔥 in 1981 in Denver Colorado USA and they were Absolutely magnificent. 🎼🎼🎼
In my top 3 favorite Journey songs 🥰
The SF Giants play Lights when they are ahead mid-8th inning. If they are tied or behind mid8th they play Don’t Stop Believin’
One of my all time favorites. It's over before I'm ready for it. Hey Jamel 🖐 Hey Adrienne 🖐 😊
Possibly my favorite Journey song to sing along to, in harmony. 🥰
I just have to recommend Journey Stone In Love to you, Jamel! Talk about a song that will take you straight to Throwbackness! I guarantee you will love it. 🎶❤
My all time favorite Journey song... EVER!
So excited you did this song! One of my all time favorites and it hardly gets mentioned. It became a song about San Francisco and since I'm from the Bay Area it was played A LOT. Does anyone remember oh, oooh oh being sung as KFRC?
Journey was my first concert at 12 years old. I love them. They introduced me to so many other bands. They were my first glimpse into rock.
Brings back memories of the 70's, Skate City, bell bottom corduroy pants and foxy chicks with big feathered hair! Ahh, those were the days!
I still remember my one Journey concert. 1987 if I recall, general admission, standing room only. In a group dancing & singing to every song. Before the days of cell phones, I couldn't locate my friends until leaving and walking to my car. We went out for pizza and partied the rest of the night. A night to remember.
You should do Wheel in the Sky next!
Jamal had done numerous journey hope he does a lot more please hope he does wheel the one video where he is dressed in white when he 1st started when he hits the note with NS playing unbelievable . PLEASE JAMAL more SP and Journey being they r from Cali lol
And Stone in Love
@@giannitriv1888 Oh, yes! I love that one.
And Who's crying now. This band goes soooooo far back.
Jamel, you will enjoy “Good morning girl” great song and “Dead or Alive” a whole different sound and, Journey rocking it, like they did best.
My favorite Journey song has always been "Raised on Radio". It never got a lot of airplay, nor was it very popular, but dang - it has a beat that will get you up dancing, and it has a LOT of musical reminiscing in it.
Album cover is from radio station from home town of Steve in Hanford California
Ah...the memories..... Journey.....saw them live many times back in the 70's / 80's.....and yes, San Francisco.....
You have got to check out “Wheel In The Sky”. Excellent Journey song.
I've seen Journey live a few times - the crowd loves to sing along with this one. I love San Francisco (I'm from L.A. but I love all of California), and this song will always make me think of that great city. Steve's voice is so amazing.
oooooh my man touching a nerve now.....loooove me some Journey!!!!

I would love to see Jamal and other reactors do this combo packed song/songs...Thanks for the request because this is one of their best songs!!!
Man, I love this song. Timeless classic, this song never gets old or overplayed.
Consider doing the live version of 'Girl Can't Help It'. Perry's vocals are off-the-chart fantastic, especially considering it's live, and the band kills it as well.
My absolute fav!!
RELEASED IN 1978 love me some 70s BABY
They were so good. I love Journey so many amazing songs.
Journey is my all time favorite band. There is no one like Steve Perry.
Thanks for a great night of Journey, absolutely Amazing...Peace
There is even a video on UA-cam of Steve Perry singing with the crowd around him at a San Francisco Giants game
'When the lights go down in the City/and the sun shines on the Bay...' Lived in Palo Alto for a year and loved it--spent weekends in the city going to clubs and hanging out at friends apartments in North Beach. Best year of my life. This is one of Journey's best songs, you can feel the love in Steve's voice. Thanks for posting this, Jamel :)
Perry’s voice is incredible! The core origin of Journey came from Santana, Neal Schon (guitar) and Greg Rollie (keys)
and it shows on the incredible 1st album I loved all 7 songs on Journey self titled album (1975) my favorites were In The Morning Day, Kohoutek, To Play Some Music, and Topaz yes in the order they are on the album songs 2,3,4,5 on the album but there is no weak link on it Of a Lifetime, In my lonely feeling/conversations, and mystery mountain all are awesome songs also the whole album is like a jam session. 37 minutes of bliss. ]:)
Gregg Rolie helped co found Santana with Carlos then he formed Journey with Neal Schon who also left Santana with him then he also made The Gregg Rolie Band later. Everyone remembers Gregg singing Black Magic Woman ]:P
@@evilvolts Yessss!!! ❤️❤️❤️
That's right. I saw journey live in 2016 with Santana. It was awesome seeing Neil and Carlos jamming together.
His voice had always kinda reminded me of Geddy Lee from rush.
My absolute favorite Journey song! I'm from NorCal - Santa Cruz, so when "the sun shines on the bay" I'm thinking of the Monterey Bay, of course. This song just makes me so homesick and I usually cry everytime I hear it. My eyes are already watering up.
“She walks like a lady” is a killer live track!
My first love. Journey i first heard when I was 11. Steve Perry was my first love and still is to this day! Saw them live...Steve is like Dio...beautiful through and through!
Neal Schon is a master of line and melody. His solos sing like Perry’s voice. Love his style.
Saw this band singing this song in concert in 1981 at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in NY, brings back some great memories.
Try Stone in Love. Journey
i LOVE this song so much, and i LOVE san francisco.... this song moves me to tears of joy every time. i don't know if people in the city get tired of this song, but i will never tire of it.
Couples, all skate!
A girl and a boy or a boy and a girl!
Best Jam 🎸 of all time.. a love story for sure, San Francisco is one of those places that you just wish to spend a few days chillin in the fog below the Golden Gate.
"Feeling That Way / Anytime" if you haven't done it yet.
Yes. Both together in that order.
easily my favorite song from them. It's beautiful and fun to sing along with!
Yes, Journey is from the Bay Area. This song is played during the tail end of SF Giants all the time!!! I see the hat, bro!!
Praise God we are all here! This is one of my all time feel good so every. This is a original music video. Love is the Answer, Every Kind of People. All great songs. You Know What To Do by Stryper. Allison Moyet remake of The First Time I Saw Your Face and Crystal Ball. All are must listening too.
When I saw Jamel was wearing a SF Giants ball cap, I thought...was that intentional or a coincidence while listening to this song? Coincidence. LOL
This is my #1 favorite song by Journey.......hands down!
