When people complain that Journey sounds like the 80s, they are so very wrong. The 80s sound like Journey. Because after this album dropped, EVERYONE was copying this sound. Doubly so after the next Journey album.
Yes they played whole guitar solo on radio!!...the story is the record executives wanted to shorten the solo.....it was steve perry who said absolutely not👍🏻
Absolutely right they did. My FM station of choice at the time was K92 out of Roanke, VA. They had the coolest prime time Disc Jockey, a guy by the name of David Lee Michaels....always up in the "air chair", never failed to play this song in its entirety every single night at or near the close of his show around 10PM. Come to think of it, I still have the old 45rpm record, the original vinyl lp, the cassette & CD & all of them have Neal's full guitar riff. I've never even heard a version of the song without it.
Never heard about that. Good info!
They sure did. ❤
Sounds like a familiar Freddie Mercury story up against his record label.
Steve fought because the end solo represents the lovers fighting.
Steve fought for radio to play the entire guitar solo. And they did 🎶🎵🎶
Nobody can beats Steve Perry's Vocal ability, he's a legend. 😎🎸👌
I think Perry, Steve Walsh and Lou Gramm top the list.
He's the best voice in music❤❤❤ and Michael Mcdonald
YES THEY DID
@@DropAnchor1978 Brad Delp on Boston... More Than A Feeling really tears up vocals as well!
@@suecook1326 Absolutely! He would have been next on the list if I had done more than three. I would add Jimi Jamison of Survivor, too. Mickey
Thomas of Starship.
Journey is so ridiculously good live that I literally never want to hear the studio version of a song. Live only! ❤️🎶
I agree with you but this is the one exception. Great live version but this track is so well performed and produced, I prefer the studio version. I need to hear him drag out the lyric “Two hearts born to ru-uah-un” (run). This is a masterpiece vocal performance. Live is an A. Studio is A+.
Agreed100 I saw them twice!! Ten rows back and literally blown away at their voices n talents🎉🎉🎉🎉
Saw them 6 times at The Summit in Houston (now Joel Osteen's "church") and Steve Perry solo on his For The Love Of Strange Medicine tour in 1994. I just can't get into them with a wannabe sound-similar
Now you know why Gen X and Boomers ain’t lying when they say their music was better.
The live in Houston version is amazing
And remember, this is WAY before auto tune.
The combo of Neal Schon on guitar and Steve Perry’s vocals is magical.
Absolutely!!
Wife here.., True that most reactors do not cover this song...,Journey is such a crowdpleaser.., GenX..And Steve Perry with those pipes!!..And that Awesome Guitar Work..MAGIC!!
I was 21 years old in 1981 walking into a new house in Dallas Tx when I heard this song playing for the first time.I stopped and couldn’t move until the song was over. I was totally blown away!
You need to listen to Journey When You Love a Woman .
That bridge “There’s only so many tears you can cry.” just does something to me. There’s something about that chord progression!,,,,,,
Only so many tears you can cry is my life story now....
I get it all too much
If you really want to hear his vocal ability, review the song “Mother,Father”
The live version, please!
Mother Father live for sure!
@@brentkraus457 Yeah that was an amazing performance
The Live version of Mather, Father is a must!!!
Guaranteed your minds will be blown. Be sure to listen to the keyboard that follows immediately at the end of the song.
Yes mother father live in Houston is Epic his vocals will make you cry!
This was one of their biggest singles, peaking at #4 on the billboard hot 100 in 1981, one of their first songs they played a lot on the radio
"Wheel In The Sky" was almost overplayed in late '77-'78; I couldn't wait to get to that concert that summer! 'Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin' too. Lots of Steve in the late 70's!
That tells you how good the 80s were when this one only made it to #4
Oh yes they did!!!! Radio played the whole thing!!! That whole outro was spine chilling stuff. 😅Neal Schon at his best!!!!! He got his start with Santana. And guys, this was a massive hit!!!!!
"Mother, Father" LIVE version from the Escape tour, 1981...it'll Blow. Your. Mind.🤯
Steve Perry could sing the ABC song and make it sound worthy of a Grammy! His vocal ability is magical! Love this dude!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
They always played the entire outro on the radio, at least in my country, and this was on at least ten times a day back then.
I love this song. Didn’t they also do “Loving, Touching, Squeezing”? That’s a great song.
I don't believe so. Talk about setting a MOOD. That song certainly does it.
@@L1623VP I checked. Journey did do that song. Here’s a link: ua-cam.com/video/fTkHFQC3wow/v-deo.html
@@Wordsmyth8 Oops...I thought you were asking if the guys from Views from the 502 had done a reaction to Lov'in, Touch'in, Squeeze'in yet, not if Journey sang that song. That's why I answered, "I don't believe so" because I'm sure they haven't reacted to it, yet. I wasn't implying that Journey didn't sing that song. It's classic Journey.
AAAx
A little trivia: There are 156 "Na's" in that song.
Entire song made the radio. Amazing right?!?! Great song from my youth!!!!
They absolutely did play that entire outro on the radio. This is one of Journey's greatest songs and for some odd reason no one ever reacts to it on here when they're doing Journey. Never understood that, but glad you guys broke the mold. Great reaction!! 👍
one of my favorite songs from Journey. He has a great voice.
Mine too!❤
Sam Cooke was Perry's biggest influence.
No matter where I am or what I'm doing, I still feel the same way as Ryan every time I hear The Voice.
“Send Her My Love” next please !!
I don't know who is making me laugh more - Ryan's 'angel' reaction or Nick laughing at Ryan's reaction! Yes, Steve is a vocal earth angel. And, agree with previous comments on how incredibly good Journey is live. For this song to sound so beautiful live is testament to the pure musicality talent and professionalism of the whole band regardless of turmoil amongst them. Journey is in their own category. And so many forget this tune, but every time music appreciators hear, they react like you guys. New York radio is the worst, however, that outro was played on two big stations.
If you may want to she thought something that is unbelievable, watch his Mother Father performance in live in Houston 81.
May be hard to beat.
You need to play this song from the Live in Houston concert in 1981. This whole live concert will blow your mind!!
Guess we should thank Sam Cooke for all those vocal embellishments Steve Perry throws into his singing. When Neal does those guitar solos, you can hear that Santana sound come out every so often. Really enjoyed this reaction and hope you check out Lights, Wheel in the Sky, Lovin, Touchin, Squeezin and Still They Ride in the future.
You can't appreciate them unless you watch them live they were even better.
Peg you are so right they killed being live
All of a sudden I am 10 years old again in 1981-listening to this on my new clock radio. A simpler time & great memories.😊
Almost age 13 when this was released. Cruising down the street on my bike with a radio on my handlebars, sun going down. Great memories!
Same. I was 12 ❤
My first time hearing it in my brother's brown buick the last summer I had with him in 1981. I was 16 and he took me and my youngest brother to Astroworld in Houston.
I was also 10. I remember sleeping with my little radio on and this song Bette Davis Eyes and Rod Stewart Passion playing all the time.
They've got to do Journey's Lov'in, Touch'in, Squeeze'in. Talk about setting a MOOD.
Now you know why we keep telling you our generation that we had the best music growing up
And it's true! We were so blessed! 💜
THEY, JUST, DON'T, WRITE OR SING, MUSIC, LIKE, THIS, ANYMORE!! I was born 1972, one of my favorite songs from my youth and I really enjoyed your reactions fellas lol
Facts
Ryan, it's so cool to see you loose control, simply because you rarely do that. The three of y'all keep a smile on my face. I appreciate that so much 💖
Next to Separate Ways, this is my second favorite Journey song. And Nick, they played this song when it came out on the radio as you heard it - it wasn’t shortened. (At least here in my area of Pennsylvania). Glad you love Journey - it’s great to see younger people discover the music we listened to back in the day. Great reaction! 👍🏻
Send Her My Love is a worthy listen as well.
Definitely an under appreciated Journey song! Steve Perry is just an incredible vocal talent
You’ve got to listen “sweet and simple” or “why can’t this night go on forever”, that’s some of Steve’s best vocals 🙏🏿
Hard to believe Steve Perry could sing this fkn Good live performance,to me SP still holds that record 💞🎶🎵🎤🎶🎵🎸🎶🎵🎵
Omg!!!!😂😂😂 I'm still laughing you guys are hilarious but yes Steve Perry has the voice of an angel for sure....this is my favorite song from them and I remember when I first heard it and back to Ryan you go boy that was so entertaining and Nick loses it "Priceless" love your reactions and you guys❤
In regard to the ease (for him) of Steve Perry's vocals, "Mother Father - live in Houston" (from this same album) is an absolute MUST. You will be blown away by the notes he hits, LIVE, at the end of the tune.
Another tune with a great Neal Schon guitar outro is "Stone in Love," also from the Escape album (now you see why it went *Diamond*). Also recommend the 'live in Houston' version.
First time visiting here...guys, all of the members of Journey were heavy weights. Two players had been in Santana, the bass player had been in the Steve Miller Band, the drummer had been with Jean-Luc Ponty before he joined, Jonathan Cain had been with the band, The Baby's, and the icing on the cake was Steve Perry. I was lucky to see them live in 1983, amazing band!
Definitely ✨✨✨
Hey guys~ there is so much going on with your reactions!
Ryan, I totally dig your spontaneity on this one, and it set off a ripple effect with Nick losing it by cracking up, as you caught him off guard, and then there was the look on Ty's face when you stopped the music~ that was golden! 👍❤ (You even mentioned Jesus! 😲). Of course I always dig when y'all sing too. You are correct Ryan, Steve's voice takes you to another dimension. And he has that same affect live in concert. He is a talent for sure. We also get to hear Neal Schon at the end of the song show off on his guitar skills on this. 🎤 🎸 They are two of my favs.
This was awesome fellas. Love it!!! 😊 #ViewsFromThe502
The studio told Journey that Neal's solo was 'to long!' for radio play and wanted them to shorten it! Steve Perry wasn't having it! And argued with them about it. Steve told them that if the radio station wants to start playing the next song during Neal's solo. He doesn't have a problem with that. BUT they were NOT going to shorten it!! After a battle over the solo, the studio left the solo alone.
You guys should react to the song from the 1981 Houston, Tx concert!
And YES!!! Classic Journey is 'out of this world!!'
I totally get you, Ryan! Theres just so long you can sit passively listening to perfection without finally pointing it out!!
I remember heard this song...and mesmerized how Steve's voice is so unique, as well you guys felt! My reaction was less intense, but I was in shock too. lol
Saw Journey 6 times in concert back in the 80s and they never disappointed. Pure magic!
I can promise you guys, especially Nick, you will love Stone In Love. The guitar solo at the end will give you that stink face we all love. Lol
STONE IN LOVE is my absolute favorite Journey song, with Lovin' Touchin"Squeezin' as a close second 💖
Hell yeah Neil rips
Amen
EXACTLY.
Journey is good, Journey with Steve Perry is something else, with respect to Arnel. Another great reaction!
Gotta check out the live version for the 1981 Houston tour
Here’s a good one……lots of people don’t know this Journey song but it’s one of my favorite by them…”Still They Ride”……check it out….you’ll love it.
The live version from Tokyo 1983 is awesome.
Send Her My Love is a beautiful song with a live video. You can really get a feel for what it was like to see them in concert with Steve Perry as the lead singer. Amazing band. ❤
There is not a bad song from SP&JOURNEY ck out Mother Father live in Houston these guys worked on there profession .Best band ever
I remember at first thinking the album was literally called E5 C4 P3, like R2D2 until someone told me it was "Escape". Duh!!
It's hard to explain how big Journey was. Their music was everywhere, in every bar, all over the radio, playing from every car. Their concerts were true events. People went crazy. Everybody liked Journey, most people loved Journey. They were one of the biggest bands in America at the time, if not THE biggest.
Live only for Journey!!!!!! Watch them sing this in Houston 81.
Every time I hear Steve sing this song, I get goosebumps 😄
Here's another song and you might recognize it "Journey - Wheel In Sky (Live on the Midnight Special 1978) WIDSCREEN 1080p" this song is on their "Infinity" album released in 1978 and the biggest songs on the album are "Wheel In The Sky", "Lights", "Feeling That Way" and "Anytime". This is another song that Steve demonstrates his wonderful vocal gymnastics and their gorgeous harmonies. You guys are fun...I really enjoyed your reaction. Thanks
Journey is a legendary band that never gets old. I have noticed that most successful rock in the music industry have talented vocalists, Robert Plant, Steve Perry, Freddie Mercury, Ozzy Osbourne, Ian Gillan and others. The 70s and 80s are the best years in the history of the music industry.
Steve wrote this song in his car on the way from LA to San Francisco...and brought it to Jon and Neal.Steve Perry is an absolute unicorn; perfect vocals every time. The way you reacted...that's the effect Steve especially had on women. Neal wasn't into tthe ballad thing until he noticed the WOMEN suddenly appearing at their concerts. If you want their best song it has to be Mother Father, live from Houston 1981.
Journey's live album "Captured" is a musical showcase of their talent. Steve's voice, Neal's shredding guitar, Steve "Machine Gun" Smith on the drums...
Yes. He is an Angel! 😍
This is indeed a great song most don't react to. Their biggest hit back then.
What is special about Steve Perry's voice?
Steve Perry has the range of a high tenor and solid alto and is considered a countertenor. He is a rare tenor altino, a rare form of countertenor, a voice that many consider incomparable. His voice is very recognizable and longtime friend of Perry's, Jon Bon Jovi, gave him the nickname, "The Voice."Aug 8, 2018 (copied from wikipedia)
Journey was always insane live with how Steve would just reach higher and higher vocally and schon and all would just play their hearts out. Mother Fathet live was always the song Steve said was his most difficult to pull off live but if you want to hear his falsetto you need to listen to Lay it Down from Escape or the live version of it in Tokyo. Escape really is their masterpiece record that made them Kimgs of Arena Rock but also the key creators of the Power Ballad.
That's why he was called The Voice
Love your reaction
Now you can appreciate the effect Steve has on women
Vocal perfection
Pure control. He makes it sound easy
It isn't.
Lyrics are unbelievable also❤
And you guys just listened to one of the BEST guitar solos EVER by the legend himself...Neal Schon. He is still ripping that guitar to this very day. I’d say...not bad for being 69 years old now. Escape went to number 1 in the nation in 1981. It rocketed Journey to super-stardom and into another stratosphere. Steve Perry is truly that “one in a million” with the solid gold voice. No one comes close. IMHO. Keep the Journey reactions coming...now you can see why we fans have loved this band for over 40 years. They’ve been a band since 1973. This year marks their 50th year rock in it out. Timeless, amazing masterpieces. Journey On!
This song really did help define the early 80s sound
The whole Escape album is great. "Stone in love" is a harder fun song from this album.
Neal Schon is one of the cleanest guitarists ever. You don't hear his fingers sliding up and down the strings no matter how fast he plays unless it's intentional.
appreciate y'all never faking when you've actually heard something. KY keeping it real :))
It was and still is a great song!!!
Yes they did play that entire outro in the day!!!
This song has a great, terrific, incredible, nice, amazing bass line
ua-cam.com/video/nZTcKcr-nLs/v-deo.htmlsi=2l6CxEl6TVJlB_c5
The above link is to an instrumental version for the song. Even with my untrained musical ears, I can pick out the bass that was mentioned by the previous poster. What's interesting about the instrumental version is seemingly how little the lead guitar is primarily involved throughout the song. Of course, that changes when Neal Schon takes firm control of the song for the last minute or so with an amazing solo. I'm not sure who made the decision to hold the guitar solo until the end, but it may be that the solo is so highly revered (beyond being brilliantly played) because the lead guitar is not really prominently featured but it just "busts the doors down" at the end. Knowing a band as musically proficient and such talented songwriters, one has to imagine that was not a coincidence. When Jonathan Cain, Journey's keyboard/piano player and a key songwriter, was promoting his autobiography not too many years ago, he was asked about the writing of "Don't Stop Believin'." While there have been or may be some differences of opinion about how much the song may have changed under influence from band members, the one thing that Jonathan Cain and Steve Perry have been consistent about in interviews is that Cain's original version had the classic chorus much earlier in and throughout the song, but Perry convinced Cain that there needed to be a "build up" to the chorus much later in the song. Given this was how "Don't Stop Believin'" was structured, it's not a stretch to think the conscious decision was made by the band to "build up" to Schon's solo in "Who's Cryin' Now" for maximum impact. It can be truly fascinating to learn how the music we know and love was created, along with the "what ifs" if other writing/performing decisions may have been made.
I can't even tell you how much I enjoy watching you guys. You are ALL so hilarious! I'm an old fart and the oldies (like this one) were a part of my university days. So much fun revisiting this song with you, but with your reactions, it is FIRE! (I learned that expression from you.) Keep 'em comin', Boys. You're simply the best!
My favorite reaction channel. You guys are FIRE 🔥! You all play so well off each other. Keep up the good work. You bring a smile to my face everyday.
The live version, in Houston, is better then the studio version.
I disagree
Doesn't matter. Perry's voice is perfect every single time. ❤
New sub here! For a special treat you should react to Journey live concert in Osaka Japan. You have no idea how truly great Steve Perry is until you hear him singing "Wheel in the Sky" at this concert! Love from a die hard Journey fan in Texas!🤠
You have to hear them live. What made Journey, Journey is they sound better live.
I've been a fan of Steve's for over four decades, yes, I'm old... I've seen them in concert he sounds even better if you can believe that. The gift and talent he has is absolutely stunning. 🎶💕
This is my favorite Journey song! Girl Can’t Help It is #2. Thanks guys!!!♥️
GREAT under-rated Journey song.
Good choices. I like After The Fall and Still They Ride as underrated songs of theirs too
Agree….. VOICE OF AN ANGEL.
You need to watch them via a live video! What you just des ribed as a "concert" senario is so high school! Invision a packed football stadium with a huge stage across one end containing lights, huge speakers, standing mics... The lack of music concerts these days is really sad.
Great reaction guys! And Ryan, I do love me some Steve Perry so I know exactly how you feel. While I'm here I shall humbly ask again for you guys to react to the live version of "Mother, Father" from Houston 1981. Just keep an eye on Ryan, he might not be able to take it! 🤣
It’s even better life when he sings it in Houston. You should listen to him saying mother, father life.
I was 18 and just graduated High School a month earlier, I had a good Job a kick butt 76 350 V8 Chevy Scottsdale Pickup Jacked-up High fastest vehicle on the strip (at least that I ran up against) and Life was Fantastic. I feel so blessed to be born at a time when this music came in my late teens and 20s when Journey and all this other fantastic music was pouring out over the airwaves so quick we could hardly take it in and we thought this is the way life would be forever. Sadly it wasn't meant to be but we have these Forever Golden Classic Gems to go back to and remember what was best in life. Thanks, Amigo's for another Great Video Reaction🤠😎
I'm crying now because your reaction is almost over! Keep em' coming!
This sounds fresh every time never gets old .
This was a huge hit for Journey. It was on the radio all the time when it was released. Great to see Ryan hit the Golden Buzzer for Steve Perry. Ya, he's pretty good. Neal Schon's exit guitar solo is fantastic, goosebumps-inducing. You can really hear the influence of guitar legend Carlos Santana on Neal Schon. Many casual music fans probably don't know that Schon played in Santana's band in the early 1970s beginning at the age of 16! before moving on to form Journey.
This was the quality of the music in the 70s and 80s...
You can put up with the s*** you got now..
One of my favorite guitar solos of all time.
You know the song is really good when the normally subdued, quiet Ryan has an outburst. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Until Don't Stop Believin's resurgence, this was their biggest selling hit. This is definitely Perry channeling Sam Cooke. And they DID play the entire song on the radio, because Steve made them fudge the time (length) on the single and album so they wouldn't cut it short. It worked! This was my era and I remember hearing the entire thing every time.
Maybe Open Arms was bigger selling?
@@randallwong7196 Open Arms reached higher in the charts, but this song outsold it. Now it's Don't Stop Believin', Separate Ways and Any Way You Want It.
I love this song! It’s really hard to say what their best song is!!
Have you ever noticed that when Steve moves on stage, his feet moves to the beat.
This one and "Wheel in the sky" are my two favorite Journey songs. Thank you for reacting to it.
Every song on Journey's "Escape" album is strong. Really hope you guys decide to dig in deeper into the rest of the album as well. The "Don't Stop Believing" track in particular is considered to be the biggest hit of their whole catalog, just for starters. To hear a more rocking track from this album in order to get a broader scope of what this album fully had to offer, I'd definitely recommend listening to "Lay It Down". It totally smokes.
You guys need to listen to Only the Young by Jouney. One of their best
I second that, definitely one of my top favorites
I've seen Journey in concert with Steve Perry over a 100 times and I'm a 60 year old guy. Always better live than in studio. The 81 concert is one of the best...lookup live versions.
I literally listened to this song 21 times in a row yesterday. It never goes stale.
Love when Ryan loses control!!🔥🤗🥰
Yes Cindy it's so entertaining😄🔥❤
@@hollysmith9979 yes and so genuine and heartfelt🔥🥰❤️
All of us gals were crying over Steve Perry. ALL of the time. Oh, and I sincerely hope that you fellows sing together whenever you have the chance. It's such a *good thing* to sing aloud
Girl, yes! Steve was everything! Women were losing their damn minds. I know because I was one of them!
Absolutely the greatest rock voice, screw that the greatest voice ever! Even Freddie Mercury acknowledged that there was no one that had that capability. It was absolutely effortless for him. No strain no effort it just happened and oh my God when it hit you just got sucked in and were absolutely mesmerized , that angelic voice and then he’s gorgeous on top of it! He had a lot of women, but he never got married. His parents divorced when he was very young and he said that he didn’t believe in marriage because too many people he knew lost everything they had and divorces.
I want to beg that man to marry me! Whew, have mercy that boy was fine! He still is he’s just more mature now. I love you, Stephen! Come get me, I’m here!
I love you!!!!❤️💕
