Live, no auto-tune, no added tracks playing which is used all the time now. Just Steve Perry, and the musicians. That was an historical vocal performance!! They could do it for real back then...no mistakes.
Steve has said that this song was the hardest one too sing!! Been a fan for 50 years now! Like I have said the bands back then had to sing or play an instrument! Not like now today's music makes me sad! But the 70's was the best time of my life..love love 😘 your channel guy's..
@@angelotrinidad6888 I think it's both, because he uses different vocal techniques as the song progresses: he starts with his regular voice, then to more of a grittier rock style, then into a heavy soul style, seamlessly dropping back into his regular voice on the choruses, and then whatever it is at the end (it's hard to tell if it's just the far upper range of his regular voice or falsetto). The piano solo at the end is actually only in the live versions to give Steve a break.
Steve vocals in this song for outstanding as always but I don't think that this is his hardest to cover song. There's a song called Lay it Down that his vocals slide up and down the scale, effortlessly, it's just amazing. There are some channels on here where Voice coaches analyze the song Lay it down and give you kind and overview of the notes he's singing as the scale up and down..... And it's pretty freaking impressive. I hadn't listened to lay it down since I was a kid, my mind was just really blown now that I know a lot more about music
@@nancywyatt821RS had him ranked around 85th best voice of all time. That's a joke. They had Beyonce in top 10. 😂😂😂😂 RS is absolutely delusional and wouldn't know talent if it smacked them in the face.
I'm African American myself but has been on love with Journey and Steve Perry since the 80's!!! His voice is nuts and the brother on the guitar kills it! You will love them!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I watched an interview with Steve Perry talking about how his parents divorce still is hard for him to this day. The lyrics are wonderful and his voice …. Well Jon Bon Jovi didn’t nickname him “The Voice” for nothing. I especially love people’s reactions at the end last few notes when they realize it’s Steves voice! He sounds like and an instrument. In fact they sound like an orchestra with Steve centered around the band. Especially Johnathan on the keyboards and Neil on the guitar
no. his voice sucks now like most older rock stars. he even abandonded the team during his trial by fire days in the late 90's because he lost his voice. just listen to trial by fire album and compare it to older ones.
Steve, the voice, unbelievable. You have to watch this performance several times and you will notice new details each time. Look at the band, guitar, bass, drums, piano and the voice, each one perfect and together a great orchestra. The whole "Escape" concert was amazing. Journey with Steve were the greatest. Journey without Steve is no longer the same, but Steve will always be Steve the voice
He literally dismounted that mic, bro! Never seen that in my life. My little girl ears knew what she wss listening to cause his was my one of my fav male voices to practice singing too.
Steve Perry's main singing influence was none other then the Legendary Sam Cooke if you listen to him on all of his recordings you can hear Sam come through it is truly beautiful.
There is a more recent live version of this song where the drummer, Deen Castronovo, sings it flawlessly while absolutely KILLING it on the drums. He's not quite Steve Perry but the dude is ridiculously impressive.
Listen to something to hide from the infinity album. Steve’s vocal range is simply amazing in that song. He mimics the guitar with his voice towards the end. ❤❤❤
One of my favorites in every way. The piano solo at the end was their way of introducing their new keyboards player to the audience and is not included on the studio version.
You guys have great reactions. Steve Perry, one of the greatest vocalist ever. Showman extroardineer. Seen them live once. UNBELIEVABLE concert. Thank you. Veteran for all. Much love your way.
I HIGHLY recommend “Wheel In The Sky”! If you guys are impressed with Perry here, you’d discover in the referenced tune that his vocals are unsurpassed! Journey was popular just prior to my Senior year in high school but was far from a “novelty” band then. Listen carefully to Perry in the referenced tune as he accompanies the outstanding guitar solo of Neal Schon. Perry carries 6 full bars of 2 notes without any stress to his vocals or taking a breath! Schon’s background includes having been with Carlos Santana for two years. He’s outstanding! Johnathan Cain is quite the accomplished pianist. I’m also quite accomplished in composing and performing classical but Cain would be a challenge for me! He’s capable of anything from classical, gospel-as he’s now recording, rock, R&B and soul! Steve Perry has now recorded 4 solo albums with the last 2 recorded in 2018. He’s now 75 and recording. Rumor has it that he may tour again. Regardless, my drug of choice will always be Steve Perry!!!❤
You showed an interest in Jon Cain, the pianist. He comes from Chicago, his parents sent him to a Catholic school where he was one of the only survivors of a massive fire. His Father became obsessed with the idea that God had saved him for something special, and had visions of him performing before thousands of people. He was therefore sent to a music conservatory and put under pressure to realize his Father's dreams. The extended solo at the end was to give Perry a chance to catch his breath before the next song. Even though his taste ran more to bubblegum than rock, he was a godsend to the songwriting team of Perry and Schon because neither of those musical geniuses could read or write musical notation.
I got to see them 2 times back in the day and seen this Tour and feel so lucky to have got to experience them LIVE. Fell in love with Steve's voice and his "Hair" the first time I saw them live. As you see a Live performance just doesn't get much better than this. Loved yalls reaction.❤
My first Journey album was the one before Steve joined them, titled: "Next." After Steve joined them...they became a whole new band. And this is my favorite song of theirs.
This was early in the show because Steve still has on his jacket. If it's according to the album it would have been the 5th song. Always amazes me how Johnathan Cain can play such beautiful music standing up all night.
Steve said that he's planning a new solo album and hopes to tour for it also. He hasn't been on a full tour since 1995. So the fans are so happy. And he's 75 years young.
That’s not what the seventh son means They’re referring is the seventh son who is suppose to have powers as in healing Now it lets you understand it a little more Beautiful powerful song it’s one of my favorites. The power and feeling Steve and the band members put behind is unbelievable
Check out when the Dawg, Randy Jackson, was Journey’s bass player- live in concert on “ The Girl Can’t Help It”. Randy kills it with his groove!!!!❤❤❤❤

They call him the voice for a reason
What’s unreal is that he sang like this for two hours every night on tour. That is brutal- not even opera singers work that hard.
Totally Agree!!!
Steve Perry is the GOAT !!!! No other like Steve Perry!!❤❤❤ Definitely God given talent! No vocal lessons No autotune just raw God Given Talent!!
Steve Perry did the song in 1 take when they recorded this album!! He is a once in a lifetime vocalist! ❤
There will NEVER be a performance like Steve Perry’s voice on this song….EVER 😊
I did hear a version of this song by the drummer and it was pretty close to as great as Steve's version but not quite
Journey without Steve Perry is NOT Journey.
And I agree
Even if they started without him, i'm totally agree that journey will not be "Journey" without Steve ❤
Its a trip!
There was Journey before Perry and there's Journey without him.
Live, no auto-tune, no added tracks playing which is used all the time now. Just Steve Perry, and the musicians. That was an historical vocal performance!! They could do it for real back then...no mistakes.
This concert is one of the greatest exhibitions of live music ever captured.
One word ........ ' MASTERPIECE '
Steve Perry is one of the GREATEST singers of all time.
*was
One of my favorite rock singers of all time. The dude is just amazing!
thanks
The Voice! They will never be anyone who can match him.
It was a gift that they recorded this in their absolute prime 💪
The greatest male rock and roll vocalist of all time!!!
You just listened to a masterpiece.
Steve has said that this song was the hardest one too sing!! Been a fan for 50 years now! Like I have said the bands back then had to sing or play an instrument! Not like now today's music makes me sad! But the 70's was the best time of my life..love love 😘 your channel guy's..
I agree 💯, 70's had the best music and the 80's I feel. They definitely played their instruments........
I don’t think it’s hard for him technically-wise, but the emotions one has to pull off to be able to perform it…
@@angelotrinidad6888 I think it's both, because he uses different vocal techniques as the song progresses: he starts with his regular voice, then to more of a grittier rock style, then into a heavy soul style, seamlessly dropping back into his regular voice on the choruses, and then whatever it is at the end (it's hard to tell if it's just the far upper range of his regular voice or falsetto).

@@barbjhix I'll have to check them out.
Recently Steve Perry was voted the best front man by a Rolling Stone poll.
That was Billboard, RS hates him.
@@nancywyatt821RS had him ranked around 85th best voice of all time. That's a joke. They had Beyonce in top 10. 😂😂😂😂 RS is absolutely delusional and wouldn't know talent if it smacked them in the face.
@@trb2021 He won the Billboard poll with over 2/3rds of the votes.
@@nancywyatt821 He should have
That's not falsetto That's the truthsetto ....completely real voice
Steve Perry is absolutely the GOAT!
This performance by Steve Perry and Journey has been penned as the greatest live performances in rock and roll history.
Little teenage me was in the crowd for this one... I was a huge Journey fan back in the day.
i thought that was you at that show.
The Voice
I'm African American myself but has been on love with Journey and Steve Perry since the 80's!!! His voice is nuts and the brother on the guitar kills it! You will love them!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
"Through bitter tears and wounded years".
One of the best live vocal lines I've ever heard. No one can do that. Well, Steve can. Normal people can't.
I watched an interview with Steve Perry talking about how his parents divorce still is hard for him to this day. The lyrics are wonderful and his voice …. Well Jon Bon Jovi didn’t nickname him “The Voice” for nothing. I especially love people’s reactions at the end last few notes when they realize it’s Steves voice! He sounds like and an instrument. In fact they sound like an orchestra with Steve centered around the band. Especially Johnathan on the keyboards and Neil on the guitar
Steve went into the stratosphere at the end of that song!! And NO AUTOTUNE either.
He is 75 now and still sings
no. his voice sucks now like most older rock stars. he even abandonded the team during his trial by fire days in the late 90's because he lost his voice.
just listen to trial by fire album and compare it to older ones.
He needed hip surgery and they wouldn't wait on him to decide to have it. They fired him. He didn't abandon them.
Steve Perry is the Voice period!!!
When Freddie Mercury was asked ,”what was it like to be the best rock singer in the world, he said, Ask Steve Perry”!
Freddie never said this. In fact, there's no evidence that Freddie ever mentioned Perry.
The Voice I saw him he was unbelievable no words
Steve makes this very difficult song look effortless to sing. He never ceases to amaze me. ❤can’t help but love Steve Perry !
Steve, the voice, unbelievable. You have to watch this performance several times and you will notice new details each time.
Look at the band, guitar, bass, drums, piano and the voice, each one perfect and together a great orchestra.
The whole "Escape" concert was amazing. Journey with Steve were the greatest. Journey without Steve is no longer the same, but Steve will always be Steve the voice
Neal Shon is a great guitarist! And Steve Perry will forever be known as "The Voice""
Vocal gymnastics….right? Also- Pitch accurate,control…he was magical to hear live. ❤😊
I've seen Journey 7+ times, I'm Blessed you say? Yes, I was! There will never be another band like Journey ever again! RIP 70-80's music!!!
I thought this live version was better than the studio version!
... and it is a LIVE performance! Perry has the PIPES! Great reaction!
My lord, this must have been a REALLY hard song to sing live, and he did it without a problem. I can't even imagine being able to do that.
Mr Perry’s version of the mic drop at the end of the song is priceless😎
He literally dismounted that mic, bro! Never seen that in my life. My little girl ears knew what she wss listening to cause his was my one of my fav male voices to practice singing too.
Legend journey Man The Golden voice The Big one oregenality absolutely amazing 😍💗💗💗💗💗💗
Steve Perry the voice
I recommend "Lay it Down" Some of Perry's most insane vocals. Definitely a deeper cut and it rocks!
YES! I’ve only seen 1 reaction video, the studio version. You guys could start a party on UA-cam!
Not the biggest Journey fan but gotta give props to the band and Steve's voice is incredible. Falsetto surprised me.
If it wasn't for the clapping and whistling you would think it was an album being played.
My brothers you gotta do journey
Still they ride live in Tokyo 1983
Pure fire 🔥
Yes please!!!! Love it!
I saw them on the "Escape" tour in '82. This being a new song off the album, of course, they played it.
Steve Perry's main singing influence was none other then the Legendary Sam Cooke if you listen to him on all of his recordings you can hear Sam come through it is truly beautiful.
There is a more recent live version of this song where the drummer, Deen Castronovo, sings it flawlessly while absolutely KILLING it on the drums. He's not quite Steve Perry but the dude is ridiculously impressive.
When the singer can provide goosebumps with thier voice,its all that and a bucket of chicken.
Listen to something to hide from the infinity album. Steve’s vocal range is simply amazing in that song. He mimics the guitar with his voice towards the end. ❤❤❤
No one can sign like Steve Perry the best Malé voice ever
An Angel got into Steve's throat to hit that note😊
Jonathan Cain and Steve Perry. Heavenly men. Beautiful. ❤❤❤❤❤
Great reaction! This is spectacular! Steve Perry truly sings like an angel. Greetings from Tandil, Argentina! 🇦🇷🤗
"Stone in Love" is another from the Escape album that is a fan favorite.
One of my favorites in every way. The piano solo at the end was their way of introducing their new keyboards player to the audience and is not included on the studio version.
If you’re an Emerson Lake and Palmer fan, you’ll hear how inspired his solo was by their “ Take A Pebble”.
You guys have great reactions. Steve Perry, one of the greatest vocalist ever. Showman extroardineer. Seen them live once. UNBELIEVABLE concert. Thank you. Veteran for all. Much love your way.
Grown up in a fractured Portuguese family like this oh my God I just can’t even tell you how soft this makes me
I HIGHLY recommend “Wheel In The Sky”! If you guys are impressed with Perry here, you’d discover in the referenced tune that his vocals are unsurpassed!
Journey was popular just prior to my Senior year in high school but was far from a “novelty” band then.
Listen carefully to Perry in the referenced tune as he accompanies the outstanding guitar solo of Neal Schon. Perry carries 6 full bars of 2 notes without any stress to his vocals or taking a breath!

Steve Perry has now recorded 4 solo albums with the last 2 recorded in 2018. He’s now 75 and recording. Rumor has it that he may tour again.
Regardless, my drug of choice will always be Steve Perry!!!❤

Raw, natural, God given talent...unparalleled, superb and exquisite.
Did ya’ll know Randy Jackson from American Idol used to play with them way back.
Yep... IN-credible... As always 😁 Steve is the one!
The best!
Steve Perry sang on “We Are The World” and Neal Schon played on the heavy metal charity record, “We’re Stars”.
And we missed it. 81' I was seven. I liked Journey but never appreciated them til adulthood.
Steve perry the Best male voice ever no one cant touch Steve perry voice
My first concert: Journey and Bryan Adams- 1983 ❤
Wow.
Can't imagine.
Lucky dog!
Whoa, that's a good one!!!
I AGREE with you saying Steve is the best front man. There are actually 2, Steve & Freddie. I can't separate the 2 as the best, ever!
And he recorded this song in ONE take. Unbelievable.
They call him the voice for a reason!
Folklore: In folklore, a seventh son is believed to have special powers, such as healing,
" Anyway you want It " from this this same show is a must react. Please and thank you.
Steve Perry is called THE VOICE
ROCK RULES
This is one of Journey’s best songs. My humble opinion.
Steve Perry one of the best❤
My first Journey album was the one before Steve joined them, titled: "Next." After Steve joined them...they became a whole new band. And this is my favorite song of theirs.
The band at their peak and Steve Perry at his best, the rest of history will not be able to match this epic performance.
Tuxedo jacket with a t-shirt from his sister's closet! 😂 I love them and had the luck to see them in the 80s. They were so good.
THE VOICE❤❤❤❤❤
JOURNEY:
"Winds Of March"
"Sweet And Simple"
"Im Cryin''
Sweet and simple yes!
Something to hide
Edge of the blade
Suzanne
Colors of the spirit
Journey’s best!
My favorite. This live performance is one i ran across a year ago.
I love my fellow Old Guys aka OGs who know the value of the deep cuts.
Steve released an album in recent years that is quite good. The title is Traces, has a video with it.
Later he released a stripped acoustic version, best cut was a cover of George Harrison's I Need You.
I love Corey's reaction
😊my first concert....Boston Garden...15 yrs old.....also my favorite Journey song
Next go with “Lights” or “Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’”.
I played every song on the captured album for many summers in my teens. Finally got to see them live frontiers tour.❤❤❤❤
You guys will like “walks like a lady.” It’s funky jazz, or jazzy blues, or something. Different for Journey, a toe-tapper.
This was early in the show because Steve still has on his jacket. If it's according to the album it would have been the 5th song. Always amazes me how Johnathan Cain can play such beautiful music standing up all night.
This is a 9th track of the album, Open Arms is the closer though it should’ve been the other way around…
Steve said that he's planning a new solo album and hopes to tour for it also. He hasn't been on a full tour since 1995. So the fans are so happy. And he's 75 years young.
Hope so❤❤
Hey, just want to say that I enjoy the fact y'all are having a good time and smiling- keep on smilin'!!!
The 🐐
Saw them in concert in 1978 Here in Boston they were fabulous, It was their Wheel In The Sky tour. A great time.
There will never be another band like journey 😂😂
Extremely difficult song to perform. One of Neal's, the guitarists, favorites. Steve said it's difficult to perform.
Beautifully brilliant ~ Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain and Neal Schon😘💙🤘🏽
That’s not what the seventh son means They’re referring is the seventh son who is suppose to have powers as in healing Now it lets you understand it a little more Beautiful powerful song it’s one of my favorites. The power and feeling Steve and the band members put behind is unbelievable
I saw Journey six days earlier, on Halloween night in Mobile, AL. And they sound just like this live!
Check out when the Dawg, Randy Jackson, was Journey’s bass player- live in concert on “
The Girl Can’t Help It”. Randy kills it with his groove!!!!❤❤❤❤
My guy!
