I could watch this over and over and over... that voice, those high notes.... I wish I would have seen them live. I wish Steve would do one last tour.... What a wish....
He is indeed the most powerful vocalist; still in 2022! What Steve ‘The Voice’ Perry did & does with his incredible talent is truly something to behold and to enjoy! #StevePerry #FTLOSP #steveperrymusic
Steve Perry is such a great singer with such a unique voice. Hear the "Voice" everyday all day long on the radio, songs with Journey and his solo work. It's great that Journey's Greatest Hits have all of His great voice styles and changes. Really like hearing him talk and communicate with the audience as he did on Captured. Truly a Great artist!
Now this is my brand of Journey and the version I remember so well from our high flying days and nights back in the 70's and 80's. Both Steve's, Perry and Smith, doing their things behind the mic and on the drums.
I love the way Steve Sang this song and the way he sang the intro was heavenly with that sweet voice!! The time period of SP/Journey is when this band was at it's very best in the musicianship& superb performances on stage by ALL of them.
+Sandy Silva 80's Music was the best. And i'm not saying that because i was a teen then. But every song put on radio seemed to have soul and feeling. It touched your soul deep. And became a part of you. You felt the song was completely yours alone. I dunno, i just miss those days. Something seems to be missing in todays music
Everyone's complaining about the faster tempo but I love this hard rock feel to it, especially from 3:22 on, when the guitar riffs starts. Neal is KILLING it!!!
new guy is good, but Steve is still number one in my book. I could listen to their music all day. Journey is what you call great music. I loved journey in my teens and now I'm in my forties and I still am crazy about them.
Don't know how I missed this one! GREAT POST! His ability to change up songs keeps blowing me away. No performance is like any other-the man never seemed to just 'phone it in'. An amazing dedication to his craft-and a talent unlike any one before or since!
Whoever Journey gets , they can Never replace - Steve Perry or his Magical Voice and Raw ness to it ... especially " live performances" as above...... I could never waste a concert ticket on a sound alike ....
wow...1981 war ich 21...ich hab damals Journey schon geliebt und das bis heute....und Steve Perry war so ein geiler Typ....mit dieser Schokoladenstimme....Schwarm aller Mädchen...schade daß er nicht mehr bei Journey ist....Happy Birthday Steve !!!...bei deiner Stimme kriegt man Gänsehaut
Sorry to say that, but it's quite easy to do those high note, but only tenors can reach that. I can reach even higher than that, the real thing that made him in one of the best singers of all times, is the way he reach those high notes with "true voice", also called "Chest voice", i mean his "tessiture" (the region where male sings without using falsetto). Try to listen to "Angra - Carry on", you'll see a guy reaching even higher notes, he also have Perry as a inspiration, any sane singer would haha, Perry for me is the best singer ever! Also Sam Cooke, that even inpired Perry.
People forget basically every hit song Journey had was Steve's song. Arnel is simply not a musician or a song writer, but in a way an impersonator. A very good one, but Journey have't had a hit since the 80's.
when you love a woman was a hit from the 90s, very similar to other of their ballads, trial by fire had some solid songs, about half of the album to me is on par or close with the best material they've written.
nealkang: You are right. I mean, their is something about SP voice that just touches you in some way or fashion. It's just hits you in the mind in soul. When SP sings, you know it's him right away. Of course we listened to other rock bands as such. But when you hear SP voice on the radio, you knew who was singing and turn up the radio. But sadden that we will never have another SP probably sing again. I know we have the replacements and all that for Journey. I wish them all well.
GREASTEST VOICE EVER THEIR WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER STEVE PERRY I DON'T CARE WHO THE NEW JOURNEY GETS IT WILL STILL NEVER BE THE SAME WITHOUT STEVE "THE VOICE" PERRY HE IS UNREPLACABLE!!
"WHAT ARTIST" has Steve Perry's Vocal Range and can use his VOICE.. so that it actually sounds like a "FINE TUNED INSTRUMENT"? "NOBODY...it's been 15+ years and there is NOT "ONE SINGER" that can even "COME CLOSE" to Steve Perry's Incredible and Amazing voice! "STEVE P. CANNOT be DUPLICATED or COPIED! They can keep on trying, BUT, I don't "EVER" see it happening! I LOVE the "REAL JOURNEY! The group now, is Simply a Cover Band! WHO DO WE HEAR on Every ROCK RADIO STATION!? JOURNEY W/ STEVE PERRY!
lost it again, short but sweet, you guys journey and bon jovi are the only music I listen to, I can't tell you how many live concerts I've been to and seats always front and center,damn the cost....I really love you guys......keep it up guys
I am so addicted to this song, glad I was listening to it and had the cassette and got to hear it many times in my truck and listen to the album , my favorite version is Live in Houston 1981 it's the most grand version, you will never get tired of it! Steve Perry w/ his band just the BEST!!!!
Nealkang: Would there be those if Perry weren't truly great? No, because SP is GREAT and can't be repeated. That's it bro. SP is the MAN with the VOICE that resinates with people growing up back in the 70s even up until now. Like I said, SP is the best vocalist of all times. Just his rangee and pitches just chills me. I will never know how figured out how to do that. Just amazing.
Packo_ Hubu It's not. Most of the time Steve did it in concert, if it was late in the tour or he just wasn't feelin it he wouldn't attempt it. I would guess if it was pre recorded they would have played it every single show.
Wunderschöne (und noch Hand gemachte!) Mucke! In meiner Jugend bin ich im SOUND auf der Tanzfläche total abgegangen!!! Kennt noch jemand von Euch das SOUND!?
@gupper83 Agree gupper! I doubt if any of them minded the money and commercial success they enjoyed during all the years of service he gave to the band, or the Grammy nomination that resulted from his returning in Trial by Fire. Bottom line is that no one can deny that he is a musical genius-and the band's inner workings are like a family-only those involved know the true dynamics...
to all perryhaters, pls leave this site kung sisiraan nyo lang c steve perry. wala syang gnwa na msma. kung hndi s knya walang arnel pineda...but for me steve perry is still the voice of journey...
AWE my old friend Steve. We had some good party days back in the day. He rocked the world & still does. We shared the same hair stylist, where are you Eddy? Steve will always be "JOURNEY" the new guy is okay but no one will ever be Steve. Love him!!!
I've always been of the firm belief that the singer makes a band. Its just like how Boston is trying to continue without Brad Delp. You can halfway reproduce a guitar or drums, but a voice is a different story.
SP is a great singer n i respect that,but that was in the 80s.But the new lead singer AP is a good singer too n he is not a copy cat he has his own style the movement n the way he sing.He is more warmer n when he sing it,it goes through you,he wants u to feel it and thats the different bet. the two of them.I like SP too but lets respect him,he doesnt want to sing anymore.
one of the best wheel in the sky performance ever
I could watch this over and over and over... that voice, those high notes.... I wish I would have seen them live. I wish Steve would do one last tour.... What a wish....
He is indeed the most powerful vocalist; still in 2022! What Steve ‘The Voice’ Perry did & does with his incredible talent is truly something to behold and to enjoy! #StevePerry #FTLOSP #steveperrymusic
Steve Perry voice is absolutely incredible pitch perfect everytime always rite on key perfect 💞🎶🎵🎶

his voice brings me to tears
Seriously, his voice is just phenomenal. The one and only.
Now this is my brand of Journey and the version I remember so well from our high flying days and nights back in the 70's and 80's. Both Steve's, Perry and Smith, doing their things behind the mic and on the drums.
Singing was like breathing for Steve.
Steve will always be the only voice of Journey.
Agree 💯 percent! LOVE Steve Perry 💖❤️💖❤️
I love the way Steve Sang this song and the way he sang the intro was heavenly with that sweet voice!! The time period of SP/Journey is when this band was at it's very best in the musicianship& superb performances on stage by ALL of them.
Nobody like Steve Perry, that voice just soars in every song he does - quality, class, excellent!
My god i wasn't even born yet how amazing was this performance
+Sandy Silva 80's Music was the best. And i'm not saying that because i was a teen then. But every song put on radio seemed to have soul and feeling. It touched your soul deep. And became a part of you. You felt the song was completely yours alone. I dunno, i just miss those days. Something seems to be missing in todays music
An angelical voice. One of my favorite singers.
Everyone's complaining about the faster tempo but I love this hard rock feel to it, especially from 3:22 on, when the guitar riffs starts. Neal is KILLING it!!!
Prolly that cocaine they sprinkled in the tea.
Absolutely! This is my favorite version of the song.
Journey are at their inimitable best when they're hard rocking. Ballads can become grating and sameish.
i love it too - that version on the "captured" double album kicks ass.
Perry s voice is a very rare pearl!!!
HIS VOICE FLAWLESS. ONE OF THE BEST VOICES OF ALL TIME.
new guy is good, but Steve is still number one in my book. I could listen to their music all day. Journey is what you call great music. I loved journey in my teens and now I'm in my forties and I still am crazy about them.
Steve Perry has so much passion in his singing....iconic!!!
Don't know how I missed this one! GREAT POST! His ability to change up songs keeps blowing me away. No performance is like any other-the man never seemed to just 'phone it in'. An amazing dedication to his craft-and a talent unlike any one before or since!

3:10- 3:20 This is why STEVE PERRY IS THE BEST....................................
Agreed.. that was obscene.

greatest singer i ever known.... i just loves him.
this was 30 years ago and i think i can still hear it.
GREASTEST VOICE EVER THEIR WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER STEVE PERRY I DON'T CARE WHO THE NEW JOURNEY GETS IT WILL STILL NEVER BE THE SAME WITHOUT STEVE "THE VOICE" PERRY HE IS UNREPLACABLE!!
Wow. 4 voices at the chorus. The piano player just doing the 2nd guitar. What a perfect lineup were they.
AMAZING.he was so happy! just love the good energy!!
Steve is soooo beautiful!
Yes he is.
The Best Rock Singer Ever, I mean Ever!!! long Live Steve Perry
i love steve's voice and this catchy song
One of my biggest dreams, to be at a Journey concert with STEVE singing , front row ,this song !! but I guess that will never be :(
Every vocalist does that. And, he's definitely one of the best. Good to see the REAL Journey, again.
i love this performance sooo much!
and at 3:11 when he hits that note
steve is epic
that little riff in the middle is sooo awesome
Brings back such memories, damn where has the time gone!

One of my favourite Journey tracks
God, all these great clips all over youtube. WHY THE HELL AREN'T THESE CONCERTS ON DVD?
I keep coming here to hear that incredible Neal's solo!! He knows how to play with passion...
Nealkang:
Would there be those if Perry weren't truly great?
No, because SP is GREAT and can't be repeated.
That's it bro.
SP is the MAN with the VOICE that resinates with people growing up back in the 70s even up until now.
Like I said, SP is the best vocalist of all times. Just his rangee and pitches just chills me. I will never know how figured out how to do that. Just amazing.
i just love the begining. wish they made a song like that. so much emotion
That wonderful nose helps create that great tone in his voice. The tone that NO ONE else can copy no matter how they try.
I just love to watch him dance like that....
amazing,,,,,,,,!! pretty much sums it up!!
Man he is great in this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you can see that they really enjoyed while they were playing
Steve Perry is so great!!! I love his voice.
omigosh, he is so cute! he is an all-around beautiful person.
Simply Gorgeous!
I didn't think Steve sang that note at 3:12 ....but holy fucking crap, he did.
Soooooo good, melt my heart!❤❤❤
Even though SP is 59 years old. But he is still the best vocalist of all time. Simple well and said and put. Bottom line. "THE BEST"
Steve Perry with Journey simply beautiful He is amazing ❤
That high note at 3:11 sounds like a instrument...amazing!!!
Packo_ Hubu no it's not.
Packo_ Hubu It's not. Most of the time Steve did it in concert, if it was late in the tour or he just wasn't feelin it he wouldn't attempt it. I would guess if it was pre recorded they would have played it every single show.
The Voice does it again.
omigosh, he is so cute! he is an all-around beautiful person. (steve perry)
Wow! What a nice piece of rock n' Roll!!!
FANtastic!
Only two words can describe Steve...."Steve Perry" ...Nothing more, Nothing less....
Wunderschöne (und noch Hand gemachte!) Mucke!
In meiner Jugend bin ich im SOUND auf der Tanzfläche total abgegangen!!!
Kennt noch jemand von Euch das SOUND!?
i wish Steve Perry was still singing today.... :'(
Dude-that was the audience singing "for tomorrow" it got to be standard for the audience to take over on that line.
absolutely the BEST!!!
Yes, he's quite a talent...great concert!!!!
well, my face just melted. thanks neil schon.
One of my favourite songs!!!
I wish I was there!
@gupper83 Agree gupper!

Once Steve Perry sings this song, no one else can do it justice!
to all perryhaters, pls leave this site kung sisiraan nyo lang c steve perry. wala syang gnwa na msma. kung hndi s knya walang arnel pineda...but for me steve perry is still the voice of journey...
Your Right!!
Noticeably faster than on the album. Still an amazing performance!
that's such an awesome intro
AWE my old friend Steve. We had some good party days back in the day. He rocked the world & still does. We shared the same hair stylist, where are you Eddy? Steve will always be "JOURNEY" the new guy is okay but no one will ever be Steve. Love him!!!
Se me eriza la piel cada vez que escucho a Steve... the best!!
Sounded just like the record...UNBELIEVABLE!
I've always been of the firm belief that the singer makes a band. Its just like how Boston is trying to continue without Brad Delp. You can halfway reproduce a guitar or drums, but a voice is a different story.
I am in total agreement with you. The human instrument is the best one you can have.
He owned that set....!! Great Year...!!
0 % Playback
100 % Talent
🎵🎶🎼🎹🎤🎸😎👊
Steve Perry = Journey. End of Story.
I only listen to the live ones... but after what you said, i will listen to the original.
Steve Smith is a great drummer, the best!!!
Yeah, he is amazing, but this was a rough one for him. LOL
OMG ! This is Awesome
Love it! the uptempo beat Rocks! Neal crushes the guitar...
The God of singing
With Perry, there's not a milasecond of lipsync. I read some comments on UA-cam that Perry lipsyncs. Never! What you hear is what you get.
Neil is sick on that axe! Just listen to the Captured album! Tearing it up!
soooooo truue!!!!!!!
Steve is clearly tired, not the same energy ever, but still awesome!
❤️
3:11 Speechless
3:10 notaable!! la mejor voz!!
3:10 Wow, that was amazing! *-*
I love Steve Perry!
rock on!!! love it!
SP is a great singer n i respect that,but that was in the 80s.But the new lead singer AP is a good singer too n he is not a copy cat he has his own style the movement n the way he sing.He is more warmer n when he sing it,it goes through you,he wants u to feel it and thats the different bet. the two of them.I like SP too but lets respect him,he doesnt want to sing anymore.
