The REAL Journey. I worked security on this tour. We did around 130 show’s starting in Japan. All over the world. It was one of the greatest years of my life. My best friend in the army, his Dad was a big shot in the security company, so he hired me. Wow. We had a lot of fun. My ears are still ringing lol
Amazing vocalist no need to be dressed up or have a circus on stage just a pair of jeans and nike sneakers and an unbelievable voice. How he can run around and sound exactly like his recordings.....He will remain legendary.
See, back in those days, bands tried to capture or recreate their live sound on album recordings. Nowadays, we can be lucky if the people on stage actually _sing and play their instruments live_ during their performance in concert. Bands like Journey are a different breed than pop music of today. It's not a matter of being snobbish or nostalgic. The biggest modern pop star doesn't hold a candle to the most minor one-hit-wonder of the 80s.
@@xGhostRidah Hey Ghost! We all like who we like. I do like Delp (RIP). As good as Delp was, however, he did not have the overall technical skills that Perry has. Diaphragmatic support, vowel modifications, pitch, tone, range, continuous phrase singing, and so so much more. Perry is unmatched as the most technically sound vocalist to date. Any vocal coach worth their salt would agree, and the vast vast majority do.
@@felixatkinson1826 Hey Felix. We all have our favorites for sure, and I do like Plant as well. As good as Plant is, however, he is no Steve Perry in terms of vocal technical skill. Vocal pitch, range, diaphragmatic support, continuous phrase singing, vowel placement, vowel modifications, open throat singing, emotive singing, etc. Perry has it all. There is certainly a difference between simply "liking" a singer and actually breaking down their vocal abilities. You would be hard pressed to find disagreement with this with any vocal coach out there. There is a specific reason why Steve Perry is referred to as "The Voice", and Robert Plant is well, Robert Plant. Plant is definitely in the tops for sure though in a lot of categories. Happy listening!
Saw this tour in '81 , My wife was 8 months pregnant - actually this is the last concert we went to for about 30 years .Got to go backstage and meet the band.
I am 27, and over the years I have developed a liking for music from the 80s, and tbh, Steve Perry in my opinion is the best vocalist, damn the control.
Steve Perry’s voice/vocals is something no one could ever replicate, copy, emulate, match, practice, sound a like; it’s something you’re born with. A God given gift he was born with of absolutely genuine, pure, powerful, golden, crisp, smooth, spectacular beauty of a voice that we are all glad he brought to and shared with the world. Greatest vocalist the world has ever heard. Thank you Steve Perry and God Bless.
Lol you obviously havent heard of Paul Stanley LOL. He was belting out his vocals in the early 70s STILL thoughout the mid 2000s...until he had to have vocal surgery in 2009
Honestly, if you listen to a lot more of his live performances, you will see he actually sounds better live than the studio version. The man is blessed with so much talent.
I saw him live he did sound great not that common in rock when go to concert think it will sound just as good. I remember guns and roses were awful live. Iron Maiden was really good live I was in my teens in the mid 80's Journey was more late 70's early 80's. You never think at the time this might be the last time you ever see them perform.
I wasn’t even born yet but I wish I was there - The first time my dad played them on a road trip and I was hooked! Steve Perry’s voice gives you goosebumps!
His vocal agility is unbelievable and unmatched. I've never seen anyone run around like that and jump around and still sing perfectly! Only Steve Perry, aka The Voice, aka The GOAT! ❤❤❤ #FTLOSP
what a gig that was... took my wife there to see them in houston, as we were visiting our in laws at the time when we heard journey was in town in houston. we decided to check them out and see if they were good, and we were BLOWN away by this concert!! the memoirs...
I can't find it anywhere on the net but they snuck in a show in San Antonio on this tour with AC/DC opening. Odd show. Two great rock bands but definitely two different kinds of rock! AC/DC camee back only four months later as headliner with New England and someone else, can't remember. I paid $8.50 a ticket for these shows! Great times!
My parents have the DVD of every live performance of this tour and would always play it in the living room for my brothers and I to watch. I’m 18 now and this still gives me chills, that’s how good Journey is and will always be
You have great parents. My son is 26 & was raised on all this amazing music. I am blown away at all the young people that have never even heard of Journey or so many other amazing bands. I was determined my kid knew good music. I blame the parents for not exposing their kids to real music. So glad to hear your parents did it right.
After belting out song after song and running all over the stage for over an hour, Steve still manages to hold that last high note for a friggin 10 seconds. 👏👏👏
Almost forty years have gone by and this is still one of the most inspiring performances ever. The whole band, especially Steve, was on their game and truly made something special that night. Glad it was captured on film. Stuff like this reminds me why the internet is such a great thing.
Kim Martin I love Steve Perry too! He's one of my favorite male singers ever! He's what makes Journey such an iconic band. That voice is hauntingly beautiful.
I don't know about that. I saw them on this tour, for the Escape album, in May of '82 and what you see here I saw there. Pure energy and a whole lot of fun.
No doubt George. I saw this tour back to back nights. Friday night at Poplar Creek Amphitheatre in suburbs of Chicago and Saturday night at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin. UNBELIEVABLE weekend, so much fun. I wanna go back 😞😟😤😢😭
Starting with the ESCAPE tour, Steve Perry no longer was 'tethered' to a microphone with a cable. The wireless mic permitted Steve to run around stage and throw his energy to the audience. The audience gave back that energy x1,000 to the band. Little things like this are how bands become megastars.
Ima, Steve Perry's voice is NOT the same on Traces versus the Escape tour. Are u kidding me, get your're ears checked. If it was he'd probably been out touring before Covid hit. He sounds ok, but could not get even close to the same range he is getting at now here on the Escape tour. 39 years ago 🤯
@@bradcrawford1998 His voice may not be the same but DAMN, he still sounds GOOD!!! And lets not forget that the Escape Tour was 38 yrs. ago! A person's voice does age along with the rest of the body.
@@heatherkealoha4137 Heather, you took my comment out of context. YES, YES, YES his voice still sounds good. I love some of the songs off Traces and I would pay $100's of dollars for a ticket to see SP in concert right now. My point was, the comment was that his voice still sounds the same as back during Escape is NOT TRUE ☹. I wish it did, but not so. I am 59 years old and saw Journey on EVERY tour they did. I know S Perrys voice and it's not the same. Journey was my first live concert I saw, Infinity tour 1979. I was HOOKED! Miss them a ton. I thought Steve Augeri was an awesome fill the gap, saw him 3 times, and Arnel 2-3 times, OMG, what a magical fit Arnel was. Neal Schonn is so underrated in music talent and the business side of music.
@@johnnyquist8362 lol pretty sure they have. the commenter was simply saying that the people in the artist were witnessing history in the making. they didn’t say that they were better than Elvis LOL more than one person can make history, no?
You should listen to mr. Dickenson yes I do mean Bruce Maiden Still tours today and Bruce still sounds just as awesome as he did in the 70s and in my opinion still holds the record for the most Primal scream in Rock and Roll History ever
Very few vocalists in history could do it as effortlessly as this man. Some singers could only dream to hit some of the notes that he did and he did it as easy as breathing.
I love when bands enjoy their performance as much as the audience. A sincere and stunning performance from Steve Perry, Neil Schon, Steve Smith, Jon Cain and Ross Vallory.
What a gifted voice! Could u imagine if he was unheard of? Never joined a band? In the universe, what are the odds that Steve Perry and Neil Schon found each other. Paul McCartney and John Lennon, Elton John and Bernie Taupin, I'll even go out on a limb, Axl and Slash....so many others....sometimes it blows my mind how these people find each other and make the greatest songs that we all know and love.
it wasnt odds or fate, Journey did 3 albums before Steve Perry joined that didnt sell very well, and management said this is your new singer, they didnt even want him at first, then when they started selling millions of albums, Steve kicked out Steve Smith and ross Vallory because they didnt sound 80s enough. Its not all magic and happiness !
@@tilesetter1953 - I was just wondering why that was. I actually prefer the slower version. I just assumed faster was harder because you had to get so many words in such a short period of time. I used to sing in a choir and holding the note longer was easier for me.. but then I am not in concert bouncing around. lol. Thanks for the explanation.
Hes still great, there was a spat between him and the rest if the band, he ended up leaving and they told him that whatever music he did on his own, he couldn't call it journey anymore. Get this, journy still does concerts, but they have a new lead vocalist that sounds just like him.
PenguinOntheRoad :D I think of them as a mediocre cover / tribute band. They lost the soul as much as the voice. I was lucky enough to see them in 84 or so. It was the “original” Steve Perry version. God, was that a show!
I ENVY WITH PASSION EVERY SINGLE PERSON AT THAT CONCERT & ALL THE PPL THAT WENT TO THEIR CONCERTS IN THE 80S! you were treated like almost anyone has had & witnessed history in the making by watching Mr. Perry sing with Journey. what I wouldve given to be of proper age to go watch them. now we have to conform ourselves just with a sound-a-like.
I love how he just plays with his voice. Off the cuff. Oh I'm going to go here and now there and maybe sing the harmony...listen to my vocal rollercoaster.❤
Man. I just have no words. I Heard this son for the first time more than 40 years ago. Really. I still can't describe today Steve Perry, Neal Schon and the rest of the band magic, talent or however you want to call it.. I'll be a fan ti'l I die.
It’s sad awesome bands and music like this doesn’t exist now 2021 I salute the 80s, Steve is in super form here delivering an energetic performance of anyway you want it, the rest of journey is equally as good, I like how they chose it for the last number , then Steve says goodnight. Also it wouldn’t be fitting to post this review without mentioning the fabulous drum ending that fits perfectly ,it speaks “ excellent version and our last number “
Journey came about in late 1970s the best rock is all 1970s ~ Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Steve Miller Band, Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band, Steve Nicks, Fleetwood Mac to name a few of the best.
Man, if I could go back in time and see this live. Uptempo from the album, at the end of the night, live, no auto tune. Just a bunch of talented people providing some awesome entertainment; an experience of a lifetime.
The REAL Journey. I worked security on this tour. We did around 130 show’s starting in Japan. All over the world. It was one of the greatest years of my life. My best friend in the army, his Dad was a big shot in the security company, so he hired me. Wow. We had a lot of fun. My ears are still ringing lol
So Lucky... And blessed to be a ble to experience those days... I wish I could...
Amazing! Love it❤🤘🏻
@@johnburrows1179 What a fabulous experience that must have been!
Steve Perry runs laps, jumps around, and can sing like that...and the song is even played faster. Whew and Wow.
is it really was live?
@@unixoid33 It's a remaster version but I think his voice is the original from the concert
Mental - does he have 3 lungs? I cannot believe he legs it about and then just sings perfect held notes
Era joven
Wow!
HOW IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO SING LIKE THIS LIVE ON TOUR?! What an epic band
💖💖💖💖
Yes. He could sing!
Its called cocaine
Great soundman or soundwoman putting him on TOP of the music.
And running!
What's amazing is his voice control when running all around the stage like a maniac - incredibly impressive!
I was thinking exactly the same thing! I can't sing half this well standing perfectly still. 😆
@@CelticCat537 I can’t sing at all standing still 🤣
Amazing vocalist no need to be dressed up or have a circus on stage just a pair of jeans and nike sneakers and an unbelievable voice. How he can run around and sound exactly like his recordings.....He will remain legendary.
And this was the last song of the night. Still has lots of energy.
See, back in those days, bands tried to capture or recreate their live sound on album recordings.

Bands like Journey are a different breed than pop music of today. It's not a matter of being snobbish or nostalgic. The biggest modern pop star doesn't hold a candle to the most minor one-hit-wonder of the 80s.
I am OBSESSED with his VOICE!!! The resonance in his belts are simply UNMATCHED!!! I don’t care what ANYONE says!
me too. I listen daily to Steve's voice. something magical in it. I saw this tour and also ROR in 86. Both nights burned in my memory forever.
@@perseusfin1778 I completely agree. NO ONE comes close to Steve Perry's voice. He's the greatest frontman in rock, hands down.

Was that their closing song for that concert? Do you remember?
Steve is hands down the greatest vocalist ever
THE GREATEST SINGER EVER.
I am 27, and over the years I have developed a liking for music from the 80s, and tbh, Steve Perry in my opinion is the best vocalist, damn the control.

Yes, your voice is something you're born with. The range and power is a lot and a lot and a lot of practice.
Couldn't agree with you more. My favorite vocalist. Saw him in '94. So cool.
The god voice.
Nailed it
Lol you obviously havent heard of Paul Stanley LOL. He was belting out his vocals in the early 70s STILL thoughout the mid 2000s...until he had to have vocal surgery in 2009
The definition of rocking the shit out of a place!
Bear în mind it's the final piece of the concert. So after one and a half hour, more or less, he sounds like this. Fabulous.
Yes. He looks and sounds fresh as a daisy.
This guy Literally sound just as good as the studio version, without any fucking effort...HOW!!!???😍

Yes great but can you say Freddie Mercury
Greatest ever.
He is a legend and he has no equal!!
In my opinion, this concert was the one where the whole band played their best show ever and Perry was at his best ever all around.
George I saw this tour in Hampton, VA one of the best concerts EVER
Yesss i wish i was there :((((

it wasnt odds or fate, Journey did 3 albums before Steve Perry joined that didnt sell very well, and management said this is your new singer, they didnt even want him at first, then when they started selling millions of albums, Steve kicked out Steve Smith and ross Vallory because they didnt sound 80s enough. Its not all magic and happiness !
A lot of great bands had the advantage of finding the right people just at the right. Fate? Luck? For some bands it might not happen
Whilst Steve P is unmatched in this, kudos to Steve Smith and Ross V for the absolute powerhouse rhythm driving this thing along.
1:36 beautiful power voice
oh my! why am crying watching this....this is really definition of music it feeds our soul
The best male rock singer, bar none.
Back in the day they didnt play it slower than the original but FASTER. My respect.
Faster is always easier for the singer because he doesn't have to hold the notes as long.

The only other male singer that I can think of that sings high so effortlessly is Geoff Tate from Queensryche.

I love how he just plays with his voice. Off the cuff. Oh I'm going to go here and now there and maybe sing the harmony...listen to my vocal rollercoaster.❤
Just watching this makes me feel out of breath 😂 love this so much and he sounds so good!!🤘🏼🎉
This song is just beautiful! 😊
Man. I just have no words. I Heard this son for the first time more than 40 years ago. Really. I still can't describe today Steve Perry, Neal Schon and the rest of the band magic, talent or however you want to call it.. I'll be a fan ti'l I die.
This music it's so very really good! I'm hearing this song in Brazil. Steve Perry, i love you. You're so amazing...❤
The performances I’ve seen so far from this show are in the same class as Queen at Live Aid. An elite rock singer at his best.
It's called
"Reality " of Real Talent
Undisputed greatest singer to have ever been recorded. Even over Pavarotti, his only competitor.
OMG!!!! 1:36 - 1:50 The greatest voice I have ever heard.
Steve Perry , the best vocalist ever ! 👏👏👏👏
Can't argue that.....
Definitely top of the tier without a doubt!
It’s sad awesome bands and music like this doesn’t exist now 2021 I salute the 80s, Steve is in super form here delivering an energetic performance of anyway you want it, the rest of journey is equally as good, I like how they chose it for the last number , then Steve says goodnight. Also it wouldn’t be fitting to post this review without mentioning the fabulous drum ending that fits perfectly ,it speaks “ excellent version and our last number “
Journey came about in late 1970s the best rock is all 1970s ~ Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Steve Miller Band, Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band, Steve Nicks, Fleetwood Mac to name a few of the best.
I wish we could rewind back to this day and I’d pay to see this great show
Steve's hand raised...oh, and ready for take off!!!! That's epic❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love this song and that voice.
Rock it Steve. I'm so glad to be watching this again. Thanks for posting. I still love Steve's shirt - want one. 😂
Blessed voice
God gave us a gift.
One of the few regrets from my youth is not seeing Journey live. The lucky ones at this show witnessed the equivalent of a total eclipse of the sun
Those belts are so PURE! Jeez.
Man, if I could go back in time and see this live. Uptempo from the album, at the end of the night, live, no auto tune. Just a bunch of talented people providing some awesome entertainment; an experience of a lifetime.
I got goosebumps, this is such a beautiful song and moment in time before I was even born
