    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.

      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.

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.

    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.

    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)

  • @joanfisher1079

    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.

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!

    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.

      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 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🤠😎

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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!!!!❤️💕
