I'm an old white guy. I have come to love watching young black people with open minds react to shit I've love my whole life. It's like I get to re-experience that love. I mean, white people have always shown an interest in "black music". I don't even like saying it that way but I don't know how else to put it. Anyway, I'm 3 reactions in and I'm feeling your vibe. Keep doing your thing
Neal is amazing. Steve calls him "Flying Fingers Schon". When he was 14, Greg Rollie, the original keyboard player for Journey, and who played keyboards for Santana at the time, would pick Neal up from highschool and they would go jam with Carlos and the boys.
Oh, this is the best like when I was trying to get the rights for his story. I told my cousins and everybody we were always listen to Pac and Biggie, and I got my cousins to buy of the journey CD and we have a multiracial family they were like when I drive through my neighborhood man all my boys are laughing like what in gods name is he listening to?? 😂😂😂 now I’m so glad that even the younger youth generations are hooking onto Steve Perry and realizing what a brilliant singer he was in all races are loving him and that’s what I love just like everybody loved Pac… I have both CDs and a little Usher Raymond and Bobby in my Jeep when I’m rolling through Hollywood in the 90s people in my neighborhood were like yeah you have the biggest range of music in that Jeep when you have your top off and those big speakers and subwoofer I had in the Jeep. It was just Great and Steve Perry hits those high notes forget about it. I’ve been in the second row four times for those concerts two with Steve Perry and two with I think his name is Arnel man. Unbelievable I never sat down for a second.
Greg Rolie, the piano player, used to be the lead singer on the first few albums.....then along came STEVE PERRY.... and Rolie willingly gave up the lead singer role!....and the Journey the world fell in love with was born!
@@jilliebeane That statement is incorrect!....Gregg Rolie was the lead singer on the first 3 albums and Fleishman wasn't even a member of the band!....after the 3rd album, he recorded a couple of tracks with them, but was never officially the lead singer and none of his recorded songs ever reached their 4th album.....because they found Steve Perry!
I cannot freaking wait!!! I love Journey! As you know and everyone else who sees this that clicks on ANY Journey reaction; I'm a GIGANTIC FAN of theirs! I love it when I see someone else discover Steve Perry and their music! Thank you for making my day!
@Kimberly Grimm I love seeing people hear Steve Perry's voice for the first time, especially on the live versions! It is mind blowing how amazing he sounds live & the band is always on point as well. Lots of fun for these first timers!
The reason the crowd is like that is because this was very early Journey… and their style and sound was groundbreaking, totally new in that time frame. People had never heard anything like this. They were just shocked really. Believe me… they TOOK OFF after this… ✨✨
The crowd was going crazy both times I saw them 😂 we were ten seats back and everyone there was on their feet yelling n holding up lighters🔥🔥🔥🔥they were fantastic 🎉🎉🎉
I love Journey!! This song is one of my favorites. Girl cheats on him and then she gets cheated on by her new guy. Love the na na na na na at the end, cracks me up every time. Great reaction!! You're Awesome!!🙂
Believe me,I was at quite a few of their concerts in the late 70's and 80's..we showed up,full tilt and crazy for journey...we was turned up to the max😂
I love your reaction when Steve Perry brought those vocals. To me, this song shows off everyone in the band. The guitar, drums, keyboard/piano & then, those vocals. Love this reaction!!!
Never say you've found your favorite band from the 70's and 80's....you'll be limiting yourself!!!! NO, NO, NO....expand your horizons, babe!!!!💜🎵🎶🎼🤟 No limits!!!! A real Journey concert...no one stayed in their seats.....EVER!!!!
Ohh man... I wish you could've seen him in concert!!! Omg... well worth the 🎟 price! I have seen him with Journey 5 times. I would go right damn now if they were in Pittsburgh 🤣 Call off work and everything lol
This is Steve''s revenge song. He was 18 and working as a second engineer at a recording studio. He came home early one day and his girlfriend was not there. He was looking out the window when a Corvette pulls up. Out pops this guy and his girlfriend. They start kissing big time. When she finally walks in the door, Steve confronts her. She tries to deny everything as if Steve didn't see what he saw. The lesson in this is...don't do songwriters wrong. They will call you out in a song and get rich and famous doing it 😄
This is CLASSIC Journey! EVERYONE loves and knows this song............great memories journey!! I had this album on an 8 track.....do you know or have you seen one ever? The worst ....... but it’s all we had.....DAMN WE WE LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH GREAT MUSIC, EVEN ON CRAPPY SYSTEMS IT ALL SOUNDS GREAT!!! ✌🏼🤟🏼🔥🐐
There was So MUCH GREAT MUSIC back then that we were spoiled and didn't realize that one day it would come to an end. We thought that it would last forever!
You need to do a reaction to Journey mother father. I know you like when Steve hits those high notes. This song will have you going nuts. He is truly going to blow you away. Also Steve perry has done a few solo songs like oh sherry.
I went to a Steve Perry concert in 1994 at the D.C. National Theater (I was Air Force and stationed at Andrews AFB at the time), which sat only about 1,500 people. I went with a friend and we had a balcony seat. I have to tell you, it was a freaking AMAZING show! Just WOW! He covered most of his own songs first, but then a tuxedo began descending from the rafters on a coat hanger - the same tux he wore in JOURNEY! At that point, an hour had gone by, and as you can imagine to the wild roar of even such a small crowd, he dawned the tux, and then for the next two hours, did Journey songs. It was a three hour show! Anyway, he told the story of this song and how he came to write it, saying that he came home one day earlier than expected, to find a red corvette parked outside of his and his fiancé's abode, and actually caught them in bed. This was before he was famous. But it basically inspired him to write this song, so now you have some back-story. Thanks for the reaction, you rock!
When I saw Journey in '78, it was festival seating and I was on my husband's shoulders.(he was my boyfriend then) I wd throw glitter into the crowd as well as Frisbees, whistles, beads and whatnot. You had to have throws and props at a concert! On the way home, we would pop in the Journey 8-track tape, (yes!) untie our balloons and inhale the helium. That way, we ALL sounded like Steve Perry while singing along. Journey was one of the best concert experiences I EVER had!
They are in my top 5 for sure. In High School we had huge speakers in our cars for 8 track tapes. You would hear Journey playing and everyone would start dancing. EVERYONE loved Journey!
Bluesy as hell.......oh yeah! Love this one! 🎼🎶🎹🎼🎶🎸🎼🎶🎤🔥😎🎧our guy Steve Perry’s nickname = The Voice....facts.❤️Early Journey....people hadn’t caught on......yet.....😉
Gregg Rolie is that rare musician who is known for stints in not one, but two legendary bands. See also: Matt Cameron, drummer for Soundgarden; Matt Cameron, drummer for Pearl Jam.
@@joeday4293 same with Dave Grohl. He’s played drums for Nirvana, the front man for Foo Fighters, he played drums for Queens of the Stone Age and he played with Paul McCartney.
You absolutely need to do the Live 81 version in Houston of Stone in Love and the back to back studio version Feeling that Way/Anytime...they are pure 🔥🔥🔥.
This song is from what happen to Steve Perry. He was at a gig and had went home, while his girlfriend was out with her girlfriends (so he thought!!) It wasn't until he hear 2 car door shut, he looked out the window and saw his girlfriend all over another guy!! Thus Steve wrote this betrayal song!!! This is according to The Voice himself!!
I am so happy that you envoy Journey as much as you do. i have loved Journey since Steve Perry joined the group. Steve Perrys first song that he sang and wrote with Journey is Patiently. Try that song next.
OMG Steve Perry and Journey is my all time favorite Rock group...He has the best Voice in all rock music not to mention i thought he was the sexiest man alive. Love Love Love Steve Perry. Still listening to him all the time...Love you Steve and never stop the music the World would be lost without you.
Steve wrote two songs that have that “blues beat;” this one and “Walks Like a Lady.” Although not one of their hits, this live performance of “Walks Like a Lady” is fantastic. ua-cam.com/video/B9vROjzy9uI/v-deo.html Also, FYI a Gallup poll voted them the #1 band in America in 1982.
I dont think Journey ever did a song I didnt like. Can't say that for every band I have ever listened to, and at 62 years old, I have listened to a multitude of bands😉
Listen, I grew up during this time and journey is one of my favorite bands of all time and every single song they do is unbelievable, but this is my favorite journey song, hands-down!
God, Steve was pretty in '79....a 5ft 7in powerhouse of voice....amazing!
Freaking stud vocally and a beautiful male specimen! I wouldnt kick him out for eating crackers in bed!😂
YES!! I love them always but them in the 70s...hair and outfits were so damn fine!
As a woman I envy him that incredible HAIR.
@@skeeterinnewjersey5256 yes the hair
Steve Perry's hair in this is beautiful! And his voice is awesome too!
I always assumed he was Native American until I learned he’s Steve Perreira with parents from Portugal!

I could not agree any more than what you said about the crowd's reaction to the music!!.
Everybody should be on their feet singing and dancing!!.
We’re Journey fans right along with you Bro!! 👍🏻👍🏻 They’re amazing ✨
He hits those high notes and doesn't bat an eyebrow ... he makes it look so easy!
Welcome to the fan club my friend, I've been a proud member since 1978 😊
"Mother Father" Live in Houston will blow you mind. Listen for his last notes at the end. Simply unbelievable!
I agree. I’ve been requesting this 👍🏻
I double agree 👍👍
I couldn’t agree more.
I've been requesting this song too. Everything from that concert is fire!
Agree ! A must reaction. Mother Father.
Neal Schon is the guitar prodigy and co founder of Journey..he played for Santana, black magic woman..Steve is unparalleled!
Neal is amazing. Steve calls him "Flying Fingers Schon". When he was 14, Greg Rollie, the original keyboard player for Journey, and who played keyboards for Santana at the time, would pick Neal up from highschool and they would go jam with Carlos and the boys.
I believe that clip is from the Midnight Special. The audience doesn't react during the songs like they do at concert because it's for television
This clip is not from The Midnight Special. It's just a music video!
@@reneeheknowsmyname6771you are correct. Thanks.
It wasn't from The Midnight Special, but I see how you could make that mistake....Midnight Special crowds were so lame!
@@jerrybragg1523 ..... You're welcome
That's Neal Schon rocking the "fro"
“Mother Father “ live at Houston - remember it is LIVE!! Steve hits the Angel notes at the end - NOT HUMAN
Oh, this is the best like when I was trying to get the rights for his story.

Steve Perry’s voice always gives me goosebumps. He’s once in a lifetime rock vocalist.
Greg Rolie, the piano player, used to be the lead singer on the first few albums.....then along came STEVE PERRY....
and Rolie willingly gave up the lead singer role!....and the Journey the world fell in love with was born!
Steve actually replaced lead singer Robert Fleischman. Gregg Rolie was always the secondary lead.
@@jilliebeane That statement is incorrect!....Gregg Rolie was the lead singer on the first 3 albums and Fleishman wasn't even a member of the band!....after the 3rd album, he recorded a couple of tracks with them, but was never officially the lead singer and none of his recorded songs ever reached their 4th album.....because they found Steve Perry!

They didn’t call Steve Perry the voice for nothing🤟🏻

Greatness has no expiration date folks it is literally that simple. One of the top 10 to 15 voices in Rock History. Amazing Front man and Singer
You've got great taste in music, my friend!
I love Journey!! This song is one of my favorites. Girl cheats on him and then she gets cheated on by her new guy. Love the na na na na na at the end, cracks me up every time. Great reaction!! You're Awesome!!🙂
I know what chorus will be stuck in your head after this...NaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNa 🤣
Ya got that right!!
😂😂
"The Voice" nuff said !
Believe me,I was at quite a few of their concerts in the late 70's and 80's..we showed up,full tilt and crazy for journey...we was turned up to the max😂
Same❤❤❤❤
I love your reaction when Steve Perry brought those vocals. To me, this song shows off everyone in the band. The guitar, drums, keyboard/piano & then, those vocals. Love this reaction!!!

I think part of life is discovering Journey.
It absolutely is!
Steve perry wrote this song himself .. not just a great singer he's super duper talented frontman of journey
Never say you've found your favorite band from the 70's and 80's....you'll be limiting yourself!!!! NO, NO, NO....expand your horizons, babe!!!!💜🎵🎶🎼🤟 No limits!!!! A real Journey concert...no one stayed in their seats.....EVER!!!!

😂 Sounds like Taylor Swift learned from him.
Who in their right mind would cheat on Steve.... omg
@@palmerdirector9169 After the amount of songs that she’s written about her exes, I’m starting to think that she might be the problem.
You got that right! Steve Perry is amazing. Bet she (x-gf) is kicking herself for ever cheating on him. 😂😆😬
Sad story, poor Steve! 😭
This is CLASSIC Journey! EVERYONE loves and knows this song............great memories journey!! I had this album on an 8 track.....do you know or have you seen one ever? The worst ....... but it’s all we had.....DAMN WE WE LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH GREAT MUSIC, EVEN ON CRAPPY SYSTEMS IT ALL SOUNDS GREAT!!! ✌🏼🤟🏼🔥🐐
Whenever I think of Steve's voice the word soaring comes to mind. His voice just soars man....f@cking SOARS!
There was So MUCH GREAT MUSIC back then that we were spoiled and didn't realize that one day it would come to an end. We thought that it would last forever!
He really sounds like the great Sam Cooke , his idol, in this one! Keep going with Journey!!!
Yup, that's it on the nose.
They even shared the same birthday, Cooke and Perry
That man Steve can sang, beautifully👍🏼🎼👍🏼🎼🤚!!!Next (Lights).
Great reaction!!! The live version from Houston 1981 is incredible
My favorite Journey song. Steve Perry's range is INSANE!
Who's crying now is awesome and stone in love and still they ride
He's so crisp and clear on every word. Awesome group
You need to do a reaction to Journey mother father. I know you like when Steve hits those high notes. This song will have you going nuts. He is truly going to blow you away. Also Steve perry has done a few solo songs like oh sherry.
Who's Crying Now live in Houston is amazing! Send Her My Love is amazing!
If you love "Open Arms" You will love..."Send Her My Love" Awesome range, amazing group, Phenomenal
Journey- Send Her My Love
Journey has so many gems 💎: Lights, Send Her My Love, Foolish Heart (when Perry went solo)
Gotta listen to Stone In Love!!! And Lights!!! You'll ❤ them!!
Journey is a lot of people’s favorite rock band! Yes 🎸

I'm with ya on the crowd! They're mostly all acting stale! Lol
I'd be done lost my ever loving mind 🤯😁😁😁😁❤

That moment you realize you and Steve Perry have the same blouse...

Yesss Mother Father live in Houston
In 1981. Listen to Something To Hide, Winds Of March, Daydream
That piano piece was Greg Rolie! He came from Santana with Neal Schon!!

Oh Sherrie, Foolish Heart, She’s Mine, You Better Wait, and Missing You from Steve Perry’s solo albums are amazing too.
I am so happy that you envoy Journey as much as you do. i have loved Journey since Steve Perry joined the group. Steve Perrys first song that he sang and wrote with Journey is Patiently. Try that song next.

This is also called the Na-na song. 😉
Yes indeed love it me some Journey and I love how you like his voice ✌️❤️
Nice reaction! Now you need to react to Feeling That Way. It kills, and I’m a hardcore metal head.
If you listen to Mother Father live in Houston you will be blown away. It is Amazing 🎶
Nananansnana... your turn to cry. ❤️❤️❤️🙌
Yes, pleeease do two Journey songs today! We love it!! Or do a Steve Perry song, like "Foolish Heart" Your reactions are the best no limit twon!
They are my favorite rock band too❤
I remember falling in love with song! So great!
This was early in Steve's career with Journey, they really "took off" after he joined
Steve is my favorite male vocalist ever. And this is my favorite from Journey. It's so great to see a younger generation love our music - Thank you!
My absolute favorite Journey song. It's one of those "roll down the windows and crank it" songs.
Journey, droppin' a beat before it was a thing.
This is my favorite Jouney song of ALL times. Love from your auntie. 💘
Twon, beautiful chocolate bro! I totally share your passion for Steve Perry's voice. His vocals are soul piercing.
No matter how old this is. I still get goose bumps, never fails!!!
I love Steve Perry and I love you too, because when Steve sings he makes me feel the same as you. Greetings from Tandil, Argentina! 🇦🇷🤗
You have to do Mother Father Live Houston’81! Unbelievable vocals by Steve! Also Something To Hide! Well actually anything Steve Perry sings... 🎤🎼
Aaaaaand with that reaction, you got my sub! I AM STOKED THAT YOUR ALL ABOUT JOURNEY.. I'M HERE FOR ALL OF IT! BRING IT❤️💥💣💯
Yep us old people were young and had magic at one time too......😊
Their song "Send Her My Love" is another AMAZING song!
Journey has always been my favorite rock band. Steve Perry is beyond amazing. This is the first song I heard on the radio from them and I was hooked.
Back then we where just standing getting stoned, and enjoying the music! Yes we did know the greatness of the band!
Oh Sherry
Sitting in the basement with my friends 15 playing this record over and over so many great memories. The greatest vocalist of all time
Love it when GREGG Rollie JUMPS UP on his piano to stir things up for the finish!
“Mother Father” live in Houston is pure FIRE!!
This band is very much one of the best then and now I’m in my 50s I got kids half my age listening to them in 2021 at my job.
This is my all time favorite song ❤️
Steve wrote two songs that have that “blues beat;” this one and “Walks Like a Lady.” Although not one of their hits, this live performance of “Walks Like a Lady” is fantastic. ua-cam.com/video/B9vROjzy9uI/v-deo.html

Please react to Steve Perry's "Oh Sherry"
He has his own music aside from Journey!
You should make "Faithfully" your intro song 🎵!!
I second that
I dont think Journey ever did a song I didnt like.
Can't say that for every band I have ever listened to, and at 62 years old, I have listened to a multitude of bands😉
Well, this is just THE BEST. I am so glad you see how awesome they were. And Steve Perry, my goodness what a voice.
Journey back in the day, the best ever!!!!
Send her my Love!! Wheel in the Sky!! Stoned in Love!!
Listen, I grew up during this time and journey is one of my favorite bands of all time and every single song they do is unbelievable, but this is my favorite journey song, hands-down!
TY for doing Journey reactions. Also love Why Can’t This Night Go On Forever! 🥰. Steve”s singing is very emotional... gets me every time. 🥰🥰
You FINALLY doing my song!!!!! Yay!!!! I love all their songs though.
Journey was so popular they had their own video game...😁😁
