Absolutely! They have sooo many fantastic songs that didn't make the charts & even now radio stations only play a select few, when others deserve to be heard!!
Neil isn't a half bad singer. Who knew? I give him kudos for having the balls to actually share vocals on a song with the incomparable Steve Perry. I mean who the Hell could compare to THAT voice? Beautiful song, performed to perfection by the the classic Journey line-up. It just doesn't get any better than that!
the replies below are spot on, but I think the cost of transporting extra stage equipment on an Asian tour would've been cost prohibitive, especially at this time in the band's history
ABSOLUTELY!! They're missing & missed soooooo much more that this band had to offer!! This is 1 of my favorites! Actually this entire tour showed several songs that are absolutely fantastic & thanks to channels like this we can still enjoy their amazing talent!!!
"I think Schon's melodic sensibility on the guitar is unparalleled." SO well put. I completely agree. NS is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time.
I agree with everything you said in this comment except that Neal is one of the most underrated guitarists. I've bee a player for 35 years and in all my years of playing Neal has always been well respected. In fact I don't think I've ever met another guitarist that was any good ever say a bad thing about Neal.
Neal and Rik Emmett from Triumph are the two best guitarist I have ever seen live..and I have seen a million. Rik also sang lead on half their songs. If you have never heard Rock and Roll machine by Triumph...go listen to it studio or live...you will see what I mean. He and Neal are virtuoso in many genres, not just pure rock.
One of my all time favorite Journey tunes. No big stage. No pyro. No projection screens. No frills. Just 5 of the most kick ass musicians around, simply lay'in it down. I'd hate to have to play after this band. :)
The whole album is PERFECTION with hidden gems, such as this fabulous song, that corporate radio won’t play. So glad I grew up with this music!! THE BEST!!!
I'd have dropped the final track and add "Little Girl" and Departure would've been perfect for me, especially as the way the song ends with that harmonica
I was gobsmacked when I heard Neal's pipes'. I wouldn't make him the Journey Vocalist on a permanent basis. But his pipes' are still a treasure. That should be used more.
The era before Jonathan Cain showed up and replaced Gregg Rollie was when Journey did their best work. Yes, Escape, Frontiers and Raised on Radio were commercial successes and they all contained some iconic tunes. But, no album from Escape forward has the magical B sides of Infinity, Evolution and Departure. Those tunes are where Journey's real magic can be found.
If any band could pull it off, it no dout would be Journey. To me, they are the epitome of HARMONY. There harmony can bring fans to tears, it's so POWERFUL. Every time I hear them, they are spot on playing live. No need for studio fixed perfection. Their harmony is locked in. Just my opinion.☺
This one, along with Precious Time are the prime cuts on Departure...ass-kicking live performance. Reminds you that today live sound is too good for it's own good. Back in the day, you relied on your own ability to give the fans a show. You couldn't exactly replicate your record (which defeats the purpose of playing live), so you made it work on the stage. Not so today, everything is prefab. Long live rock!!!
I hadn't heard this song in over 30 years, but always had it in my head. I actually convinced myself that it didn't exist lol. It was big on the radio in the 80s, but not heard it for years. Had to come to UA-cam to find it, it confirms it's an awesome song to always be in my head, when I hadn't heard it in so long.
Watching this video takes me back to my high school years.....Watching this video makes me wonder how the hell the audience is so well behaved, how could that be? Here in America we would be all over the damn place!
"...Schon's melodic sensibility on the guitar is unparalleled." Right on! Steve Perry's voice is unparalleled as well but Neal Schon is the most underrated guitar god of all time. His solos still send shivers down my spine after 30 years of being a Journey fan. If you need proof of how awesome Journey was without SP, listen to the little-known albums recorded by Journey before SP even joined the band. The prog-rock jams that Gregg Rolie and a then-20-yr-old Schon created together were AMAZING.
You got that right Schon and Rik Emmett from Triumph are the two best guitarist I have ever seen live! Both are virtuoso in many genres of music. Rik also had a great singing voice.
This is a definite rock and SOUL song that bass gives it that flavor and rhythm. It definitely has a a lot of the alternative rock element in it too. Beautiful song...so beautiful in fact that it is good that they were paying attention and listening instead of being distracted with a lot of screaming and yelling.
This was my favorite lineup. Remember buying this cassette back in 80 and listening in my car while driving to high school every morning. Still pull out the cd often.
I miss this version of Journey so much. They may have sold more records with Jonathan Cain but this will always be the best version of the band musically. I spent a lot of hours listening to these guys with headphones on studying the vocals and guitar when I was a kid.
I love this song-its from my favourite cd of Journey.Reminds me of the band "Yes" at the beginning.I think Steve Perry's vocals around this time are amazing! No one will ever sing as fine as he does ,i'm sure of it! Oh,and this video does make me want to rip his shirt off completely..........with my teeth!
A-mazing. What band can recreate such an amazing song that perfectly without any backing tracks, tech-help... what musicians, they delivered, everyone in the pocket, Steve not losing one note, all of them...! One of my all time favs, I've always felt the song has a very Beatles like feel to it. .::G
Departure is a totally underrated album. Some of the production on it was in my opinion substandard. But the songs were really good. I like Johnathon Cain but when the band lost Greg Rollie that was a big loss. Good vocalist and the organ sound was really killer. Good clip!
I would love that as well-I love the way Steve sings these songs. His vocals were off the charts! They were magical together! Wish I could have seen this concert in person!
I went to Vineland with a friend to see a Journey cover band recently and they did this song that I had no f'kn clue about... I thought I knew all the songs on Departure...Now I literally can't stop playing it...Those harmonies are incredible...Reminds me of early Styx when Tommy first arrived...MY NEW FAVORITE JOURNEY SONG...😊❤
I remember how much this song moved me back then, and today the memory of that feeling is still vivid interesting how polite and attentive the Japanese audience is
Oh yeah, that is Neil's song, and look at the feeling he puts into it! These bring back memories for me, of being out in Washington state, having a date with a beyond hot girl, in my 1970 Camaro, and listening to Departure, I remember it like yesterday, and always will!🎸😎🖤😎🎸
Goddamn. Just five REALLY special dudes. Incredible talent. Perry/Schon is a combo that should be brought up just as much as Plant/Page or even Morrissey/Marr. Unstoppable forces when it comes to lead vocals and lead guitar.
I just found this song again the other day, man this was the journey I remember in concert, 1980 ky...Steve singing with Gregg and this song with Neal, fantastic i love all journey with Steve Perry, back then they were like a well oiled machine, love this.....
This song sits atop my all-time favorites in the Journey catalog. Incredible song off or my personal favorite album Departure. Blew my mind when I listened to it on the headphones
I miss the sharing of vocals as Journey could only do! I saw this tour in San Diego, one of the first stops on the tour, to the best of my memory they came out for four or five encores I believe. Their sound was phenomenal!
Neal sounds great! - love how Steve provides just enough not to over power Neal but then unleashes his vocal when its called for - so much talent and musicality - seriously there needs to be a college course for bands called Journey 101 - How Not to Suck Playing Live. They need to see, hear and appreciate how real live music should be done!
Popping in: this is one of the best songs of all time, my favorite Journey song. This vocal combination and musicianship sold me on Journey. Journey changed and surprised over time , Steve Perry becoming the voice, but this was 1 man's 1st love.
I saw this concert (Departure Tour) at the Bicentennial Center in Salina, Kansas in 1980. It was the LOUDEST concert I have ever been to. I had to go the bathroom and get paper towels to stuff into my ear canals it was so loud.... but it was my favorite Journey concert of the 3 that I saw.
![Eagles - I Can't Tell You Why (Official Video) [HD]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Odcn6qk94bs/mqdefault.jpg)
I think this is the most UNDER-RATED song they ever did!! I LOVE this so much!!
Agreed Lu!!
I forgot about this song one of my favorite sounds for sure !
Absolutely! They have sooo many fantastic songs that didn't make the charts & even now radio stations only play a select few, when others deserve to be heard!!
Yes!! Love this song.. But I love all journeys music even after all there years 43 years been listening. Even love Steve's solo albums!
Amen to dat!! Love it soo much!!
Neil isn't a half bad singer. Who knew? I give him kudos for having the balls to actually share vocals on a song with the incomparable Steve Perry. I mean who the Hell could compare to THAT voice?

Check out his solo albums With Jan Hammer
Schon. Great all around musician. Great guy
He sang Karma and I would find you off Next.
listen to the first three albums journey put out. its amazing
You are not alone on that one.
No spectacular lights, special effects, or dancers, neither auto-tune. Only a handful of great musicians. This is invaluable.
You got that right. True artists. No overdubs, no reworking in the studio. Just amazing talent.
You are exactly 100% right! Amazing!!
@ShariSez1 wow, you're so lucky. I dream that one day i'll see them, with Steve Perry in front.
But, but... corporate rock!
Critics back then were as insufferable as they are today.
the replies below are spot on, but I think the cost of transporting extra stage equipment on an Asian tour would've been cost prohibitive, especially at this time in the band's history
Too many people don't hear the 'other stuff' Journey did. There was SO much more!
ABSOLUTELY!! They're missing & missed soooooo much more that this band had to offer!! This is 1 of my favorites! Actually this entire tour showed several songs that are absolutely fantastic & thanks to channels like this we can still enjoy their amazing talent!!!

@@joeyschwartz5150 one of the all time greats.

@Yo, Bro Man! your my favorite human, agree my #1 from Journey. I loved Steve Perry, but early collaborations were unbelievable.
This is one of my favorite Journey deep tracks! So glad I grew up during this great era in music history!
Got that right!
These guys were so absolutely incredible and this is a perfect example. Jeez Neil and Gregg sound so good together and then add Steve Perry, just wow.
The whole album is PERFECTION with hidden gems, such as this fabulous song, that corporate radio won’t play. So glad I grew up with this music!! THE BEST!!!
The greatest
I'd have dropped the final track and add "Little Girl" and Departure would've been perfect for me, especially as the way the song ends with that harmonica
@@forceinfinity Nope this album is perfect as is. No need to change anything. It is an under-rated album and in my own opinion it’s their best.
It was nice to see Neal Schon sing on this one.
I was gobsmacked when I heard Neal's pipes'. I wouldn't make him the Journey Vocalist on a permanent basis. But his pipes' are still a treasure. That should be used more.
This was the perfect form of Journey. Everyone was the band.
The era before Jonathan Cain showed up and replaced Gregg Rollie was when Journey did their best work. Yes, Escape, Frontiers and Raised on Radio were commercial successes and they all contained some iconic tunes. But, no album from Escape forward has the magical B sides of Infinity, Evolution and Departure. Those tunes are where Journey's real magic can be found.
Neal's got a pretty damn good voice!
The best Song of Journey. For me anyway.
Pretty brave of them to do this live, those harmonies are tricky!
Joseph Gottlieb Effortless...
Not for Steve Perry! He is amazing!
Greg and Ross do their parts on backing vocals and that 60-ish organ sound in sync with Neil is magical
If any band could pull it off, it no dout would be Journey. To me, they are the epitome of HARMONY. There harmony can bring fans to tears, it's so POWERFUL. Every time I hear them, they are spot on playing live. No need for studio fixed perfection. Their harmony is locked in. Just my opinion.☺
One of the awesome songs you don't hear on the Radio. Plus, Neal is the singer.
I really love Neal and Steve singing this song to together.
All Asian people love Journey. And this is among one of the best Journey songs ever. It takes me to a different universe.
Wow..just an awesome song....don't believe anyone today can do this live..and be so spot on...
I saw them on this tour playing these songs. They were so good. I liked them best when Greg Rolie was in the band.
Their best lineup.
my respect dude
Me too - Gregg brought so much heart and talent to the group.
Andrew Marinkovich I know. However Cain and sp wrote some incredible songs
me too, 6 times!!!!
Love this song too! Steve can sing any song and get the same reaction. That's why he's "THE G.O.A.T. singer. Love, love, love "THE VOICE"!💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Neal has a good voice.....never heard this before!!! Steve is AWESOME as always!!!
Donna Blanchard - Exactly what I was thinking. Neal surprised me here.
This one, along with Precious Time are the prime cuts on Departure...ass-kicking live performance. Reminds you that today live sound is too good for it's own good.

Not so today, everything is prefab. Long live rock!!!
I have never heard this song before, but its beautiful. I keep listen to it and I keep hearing things that I haven't heard from Journey.
Rodentwitch so many hidden gems within Evolution, Infinity, Departure, and check out Liberty from Frontiers album.
I hadn't heard this song in over 30 years, but always had it in my head. I actually convinced myself that it didn't exist lol. It was big on the radio in the 80s, but not heard it for years. Had to come to UA-cam to find it, it confirms it's an awesome song to always be in my head, when I hadn't heard it in so long.
What a voice...the best of his generation, looking back!
The bass line is kicking and Steve is kicking with just the right amount of soul.
Watching this video takes me back to my high school years.....Watching this video makes me wonder how the hell the audience is so well behaved, how could that be? Here in America we would be all over the damn place!

I love the 1977 Journey album, "NEXT"!
This is a definite rock and SOUL song that bass gives it that flavor and rhythm. It definitely has a a lot of the alternative rock element in it too. Beautiful song...so beautiful in fact that it is good that they were paying attention and listening instead of being distracted with a lot of screaming and yelling.
Transcendant. Never again... I really miss the 70-80's. Radio and request lines made so many songs and groups famous. Now we have Spotify...
a lot of people didnt know that Neal sang, which is upsetting cause his other music projects are godly
Amazing performance.
I find myslef saying this on every live Journey video I come across ...
Stunning.
Those harmonies sound great!
love love love this. this is how it's done right and sounds just like the record.
TheUmystifyme18 , bravo!
This is JOURNEY!!!LOVE the song :)
Beautiful song...Period!
This was my favorite lineup.
Remember buying this cassette back in 80 and listening in my car while driving to high school every morning.
Still pull out the cd often.
this is an absolute treasure...I loved this song back in "80"...great tune
I miss this version of Journey so much. They may have sold more records with Jonathan Cain but this will always be the best version of the band musically. I spent a lot of hours listening to these guys with headphones on studying the vocals and guitar when I was a kid.
Simply Beautiful.
Pure Awesomeness
I love this song-its from my favourite cd of Journey.Reminds me of the band "Yes" at the beginning.I think Steve Perry's vocals around this time are amazing! No one will ever sing as fine as he does ,i'm sure of it! Oh,and this video does make me want to rip his shirt off completely..........with my teeth!
@@MrVC I am pretty sure there were many guys that felt the same way. Perry was a very beautiful man and he didn't try to hide it.
I am so happy this recording wasn't lost,..
I love seeing Journey at their finest and this is definitely one of those times.
A-mazing. What band can recreate such an amazing song that perfectly without any backing tracks, tech-help... what musicians, they delivered, everyone in the pocket, Steve not losing one note, all of them...!
One of my all time favs, I've always felt the song has a very Beatles like feel to it.
.::G
wendileona let's clarify. In the studio, much of the backing vicals are Perry :).
At the top of my list of fave Journey songs!
Lovely memories of Steve and the 80's! (*_*)
Departure is a totally underrated album. Some of the production on it was in my opinion substandard. But the songs were really good. I like Johnathon Cain but when the band lost Greg Rollie that was a big loss. Good vocalist and the organ sound was really killer. Good clip!
This is a beautiful song! Steve And Neal’s voices sound truly ethereal (unworldly, celestial, heavenly).
Neal has a pretty darn good voice, not nearly as effortless as Steve though, but I must admit I'm impressed! Way to put yourself out there, Neal.
Absolutely
He had a pretty good hit "Lies, No More Lies" with Jan Hammer in the Schon & Hammer band.
Early on (before Steve joined) Neal sang a lot.
The first time I heard the song I tought it was Rollie's voice 😂
Still, Schon did a great job 👍
Listen to 'Softly' from his solo album Late Nite
a treasure.
Oh, I remember this one now! This is a great song!!
Neal also shared vocals on chain reaction from the frontiers album
Great harmonies....love it forever
Oh my gosh Neal sounds so good! I had no idea he could sing like that! Wow
i would have thought this song would be hard to replicate live but this is awesome.
Departure, my favorite Journey album
Wish i could buy a dvd of this concert! I love every song that they’ve recorded. However the “preEscape” era by far is my fave!!!!😎✌🏽
I would love that as well-I love the way Steve sings these songs. His vocals were off the charts! They were magical together! Wish I could have seen this concert in person!
I would love to get this too
I went to Vineland with a friend to see a Journey cover band recently and they did this song that I had no f'kn clue about...
I thought I knew all the songs on Departure...Now I literally can't stop playing it...Those harmonies are incredible...Reminds me of early Styx when Tommy first arrived...MY NEW FAVORITE JOURNEY SONG...😊❤
I remember how much this song moved me back then, and today the memory of that feeling is still vivid
interesting how polite and attentive the Japanese audience is
I get that same feeling every time I hear this
I absolutely love Journey. I don't normally care that much for live performance videos, but the performance and harmony on this one is amazing.
This is perhaps the best piece of music Journey has ever written.
And that's saying something in my book.
Oh yeah, that is Neil's song, and look at the feeling he puts into it! These bring back memories for me, of being out in Washington state, having a date with a beyond hot girl, in my 1970 Camaro, and listening to Departure, I remember it like yesterday, and always will!🎸😎🖤😎🎸

Yeap, when JOURNEY was JOURNEY..😊🤗😎😎😎
Glad to see someone else who can similtaneously love Journey and The Smiths.
I do too!
Absolutely ❤
Wow,that's pure talent. Just Amazing TRUE ARTIST.no wonder why I love this band.
He is indeed the backbone of JOURNEY
The harmony So good
Phenomenal musicianship by all the guys in the band. And despite 1980 technology for an arena show, the mix is impressive!
I just found this song again the other day, man this was the journey I remember in concert, 1980 ky...Steve singing with Gregg and this song with Neal, fantastic i love all journey with Steve Perry, back then they were like a well oiled machine, love this.....
Love the ending on the keys with this.
I have never heard Neil sing until this video!
This is the quintessential Journey show for me. What a setlist.
This song sits atop my all-time favorites in the Journey catalog. Incredible song off or my personal favorite album Departure. Blew my mind when I listened to it on the headphones
One bad --- song, one of my favorite journey tunes!
GREAT SONG!!!
True artists.Thanks.
Sounds awesome!! Them keyboards!! Just wow all around! I think they can do anything live! 🎶🎸🎵🎸🎶❤️
This song and Zig Zigler's book See You at the Top was motivation for me when I was planning my motocross career in first part of the 80s.
1 of the best videos...ever.
Neal and Steve, just as it is here.
I miss the sharing of vocals as Journey could only do! I saw this tour in San Diego, one of the first stops on the tour, to the best of my memory they came out for four or five encores I believe. Their sound was phenomenal!
So much soul in his eyes
Love Neil's vocals
Neal sounds great! - love how Steve provides just enough not to over power Neal but then unleashes his vocal when its called for - so much talent and musicality - seriously there needs to be a college course for bands called Journey 101 - How Not to Suck Playing Live. They need to see, hear and appreciate how real live music should be done!
I’ve never heard this song. I loved it!
Popping in: this is one of the best songs of all time, my favorite Journey song. This vocal combination and musicianship sold me on Journey. Journey changed and surprised over time , Steve Perry becoming the voice, but this was 1 man's 1st love.
Such a Brilliant Piece
love to see the whole band get in on the vocals on people_places!!
One of my very favorites of Journey!!!
YES!
OMG Neal can sing!! He should have done more. This is spectacular!
One of my faves. Performance here is fantastic!
I love this when I hear it on the album, but this live version has me in goosebumps.
Never knew Neal sang this one. Awesome!
I remember seeing Steve and Neal on PBS talking about this song. It stayed with me, never has left. Journey is a lot deeper than Don't Stop Believing.
I saw this concert (Departure Tour) at the Bicentennial Center in Salina, Kansas in 1980. It was the LOUDEST concert I have ever been to. I had to go the bathroom and get paper towels to stuff into my ear canals it was so loud.... but it was my favorite Journey concert of the 3 that I saw.
This is a really great video. Thanks for posting it
I always thought Neil was one of the greatest guitarist of then& now. I was surprised at his vocal skills as well. Now I'm hooked on this song!
Neal singing awesome . Back when journey was journey three singers . The best
Love, love, love this song and performance!!!
Thanks for sharing : )
