i wish I didnt see Bon Jovi live...they lowered this cat walk and the singer ran right past and he shook his damn hair and i got covered in his sweat...it was gross...
Timeless music. We got to see many bands that still carry the musical ball today. I got out of high school in '77, and the music wore out many a tape deck. One thing you don't hear today is my player just ate my tape. Glory days. ✌
@mikericharadson8983, I've always said the same thing. It's like his voice envelopes your complete body and you connect with his emotions as he sings any song. Steve "The Voice" Perry is, and always will be the greatest rock singer of all time.
AMAZING is one word to describe him! ❤❤ The group really did him wrong! 😭 Not only a great singer but a great man! He knew even at a young age, that People are more important than fame! Especially someone you love!
Does Dimash have original music that he sings or are they all covers? I’ve seen quite a few reaction channels that have other artists with amazing vocals but there’s no originality. There are 3 women who ofc I can’t remember their names, Home Free, & an acapella group.
On Steve vs Dimash… Dimash is incredible. What he can do with his voice is frankly shocking. He blows me away and has brought me to tears. However, I’m not playing his music in my car, with my son, on the beach, before my hockey games, etc. I was 15 when this song came out. And while I might love a Dimash video once in a while or might even go to one show, Journey/ Steve Perry can be a daily listen for decades. Part of the soundtrack of my life…..
@@dakotaman408 Saw Journey live w/ Steve Perry in 1983 in Mobile, AL. Went to Journey concert w/ Arnel a few years back in Virginia Beach. He's good but he is NO Steve Perry. Won't go to another Journey concert w/out Steve Perry as the front man.
Steve Perry's nickname was "THE VOICE"!!! How true!!! There concerts were amazing!! His voice is exactly like it is on their records!! No auto tunning just his naturally amazing voice!!!
Journey guitarist Neal Schon was a teenage progidy, growing up in the Bay Area. He was asked to join Santana and got to jam with the likes of Eric Clapton when they came to town.
If it makes you feel like you miss those times think of how bad it is for those of us that were there. Those were the days - no responsibility except to go to school and every new song that came out was basically an instant classic. Bands and solo artists were all crazy talented and nobody used autotune. You could either do it or you couldn’t.
Journey is one of the most amazing bands of all time, hands down.. Very few names can touch their shadow much less stand next to them. My all time favorite groove song has always been Journey's "Lights"
Did you know? Journey's "Lights" was the progenitive song that 'sparked' the action of lighting your lighter at a concert. If you'll forgive the pun. lol
@@jonahhex8178 My middle school had a jukebox in the cafeteria, they’d let music play from back then and the cafeteria was designed like an old style cafe from back in the 80s. It was awesome!!
A lot of Waffle Houses still have juke boxes, but they don't have the old style with the vinyls like what is shown in the video. I used to love watching them operate when I was a kid. I would run up to the juke box whenever I saw someone headed towards it with some change...lol.
WHEEL IN THE SKY! LIVE FROM OSAKA JAPAN 1980!!! Freddy Mercury once said Steve Perry was the best vocalist in the world in an interview! Never heard anyone say that about Dimash!
'Wheel in the sky' by Journey was the song in 1978 that broke the band huge commercially... It was written before Steve Perry (vocals) joined the band but he did the studio track and it became a massive hit. 'Lights' was another huge single from the album 'Infinity' (Journey's 4th album, their first w/ Steve Perry) and the album sold 3x platinum and transformed Journey from a cult band into an arena rock sensation. "Lovin' touchin' squeezin' " was the huge single in 1979 from the 'Evolution' album in 1979 - another 3x platinum success... It was a song Steve Perry wrote about his ex cheating on him. 'Departure' was Journey's next album in 1980... and "Any way you want it" became the big single and the album was another 3x platinum hit... An ironic title because founding Journey keyboardist Gregg Rolie departed from the band in 1981 and was replaced by keyboardist Jonathan Cain.
Yes Steve Perry is and always will be the whole package Handsome talented legendary ! I never got to go to his concerts but seeing his videos makes me very happy !
Listen to Wheel in the Sky. During the guitar solo, you will hear Steve take his note to God in heaven. It's in the background. Listen carefully. And yeah I suck around till the end of the video.
One thing you might want to take note of is that Journey is sort of a spin-off of Santana. The guy playing keyboards, Gregg Rolie, was the singer of some of Santana's greatest hits, such as Black Magic Woman. I believe he was 21 when he sang that. He and the lead guitarist, Neal Schon, along with Santana's road manager, left Santana and formed, what is now called Journey. (Santana's road manager became Journey's manager). Neal was actually only 15 when he joined Santana, and I believe 16, when he played on BMW. Neal and Gregg were inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame with both Journey AND Santana. To assimilate Steve into the band without too much disruption to Journey's former fans, as they were mostly an instrumental group in the beginning with some songs lead by Gregg, the manager created a space where Steve and Gregg would share vocals on several of their first songs..."Feeling That Way", "Anytime", "Just the Same Way". All great songs you might want to check out.
NOW!! PLEASE react to this live in concert from the 1981Houston, Tx concert!!! The inaction between Journey and their fans for this song is amazing!!!!!
Steve Perry and Neal Schon (the guitarist) were amazing together. Neal would mimic Steve's voice with his guitar, and they would play off each other's abilities. Steve's voice and Neal's guitar are the most potent one-two punch in rock history, in my opinion.
Lol you make me feel old. I’m only 55 and remember feeding the jukebox to play Journey - Stone in love over and over as we fed stargate quarters at one of the diners .
Dimash is an amazing classical musician, singer, song writer with an incredible ability to replicate virtually any music he hears. Since Perry's voice is so inimitable from every possible perpective, the most Dimash could hope for, outside of replication, is to master the mechanics of what makes Perry so great and then cultivate his own tone in the genre of the great SP. There is no one comparable Steve Perry. Like some others, it's his uniquness that makes him stand alone.
The best singer that you’ve (probably) NEVER heard is Miljenko Matijević of SteelHeart. He has a range that is unbelievable. He has, I believe, the clearest and cleanest voice, up and down the scale, in Rock history. His highs are effortless and precise. Their debut album was released in 1990 and had 2 power ballad hits, “I’ll Never Let You Go”, and “She’s Gone”, and a banger, “Can’t Stop Me Lovin’ You”. They were on tour performing in Denver off the momentum of their debut album, when a 1,000# lighting truss fell striking Mili on the back of the head and smashing his face into the stage floor, nearly taking his life. He had a broken nose, broken jaw, and a broken cheekbone, the hardest bone in the human body, and traumatic brain injuries. This screeched their career to a halt. In 2001 Miljenko Matijević was the vocalist for Mark Wahlberg’s character in the movie Rockstar in the fictional band Steel Dragon. “I’ll Never Let You Go” by SteelHeart ua-cam.com/video/F-nyeiKk35M/v-deo.htmlsi=Bv1nW2B7iPGViu8I “She’s Gone” by SteelHeart ua-cam.com/video/PzUAgQCNx_U/v-deo.htmlsi=z4lcXLqiGXr9O9Wy “Can’t Stop Me Lovin’ You” by SteelHeart ua-cam.com/video/lqKLuegPPxk/v-deo.htmlsi=i63qw3TBuIsR4_cF
What I don’t like about Dimash and other karaoke cover UA-cam singers, Tommy Johansson, etc. is that they are just trying to imitate the original singers. They don’t change it up and make it their own. It’s like, “Look at me, I can sing it too.” What’s the point in that? If I want to hear the song I’ll listen to the original unless they did something with their cover version to make it different or interesting. If it’s just karaoke, I’m not interested. Plus, in Rock music most wrote their own songs. The guy, or girl, that wrote the song, made it exactly what they wanted it to be. That’s the “art” in artist. These cover singers are NOT artists. At least not in the covers that they are doing. They need to get bands, write songs, make records, and tour, etc. You can’t even buy their “music” because it’s just UA-cam videos.
@@stevenewcomer8837 so true. Steve Perry felt every word he ever sang, which is why he eventually burned out. I saw a comment the other day (and now I don't remember where) by someone who said he sat down with Steve Perry one day and was amazed when he ran through a whole bunch of singers whose style he could imitate. Mother/Father is a good example of Steve Perry singing in a different style (or really several styles), but still bringing Steve Perry authenticity to every note.
I can tell you that Steve sounds so good live it’s almost unbelievable! I’ve seen them several times years ago. The whole band is so so talented but Steve’s voice is incredible!! I’ve never heard one wrong note or mistake seeing them live. Just fantastic! Good review TY❤✌🏻
I was 15 years old in 1981 when I went to my FIRST Journey concert. It was ALL the things; exhilarating, exciting, thrilling, amazing. Of course I played all of their albums over and over throughout my teens and 20s but nothing compares to seeing/hearing them live when Steve Perry was singing. I went to many concerts back in the day; The Who, The Clash, Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie...but all these years later Journey remains a stand alone favorite. 🥰🔥🎤🎼🎸
Music always takes you back. But Steve Perry's voice is among the best of those time machines, where I close my eyes, and I'm back, to a time we didn't know we had it so good. So cool that he can take you back too.
Lots of babies made during Journey years in music...😂 I was there, went to Journey concerts etc. There will never be another time like it! Best time ever!
I was Freshman in high school when this song came out. Journey was my favorite band back then. I’m so very blessed to have grown up during this time. Steve Perry is the VOICE!!!
There are performers who come around and knock everyone out of the water. They are big for a short time then disappear. The ones who stay around and people talk about years later are the best. The ones who get under your skin, connect with everyone. A emotional reaction no matter the type of music they produce.
Stayed to the end! 🥰 I've heard some Dimash music, but it doesn't touch my soul the way hearing Steve Perry/Journey or Freddie Mercury/Queen does. I was 20 when this song came out and it definitely takes me back. Picking songs from the jukebox and watching the records drop was so much fun. I still have my LP's and 45's and play them as well as cassettes and CD's. Somehow the vinyl is just more fun.
Steve's voice is a voice you can never forget. He was so awesome. This was without auto tune. This is just pure raw talent! Steve Perry's voice as far as I am concerned is the best and then Freddie Mercury. Love your reaction!
I saw Journey multiple times back when first came out and toured. They sound exactly like the record live, they were such an EXCELLENT band to see live!!!
I totally get transformed back in time when I hear certain music, especially Journey. I had the childhood pleasure of meeting Steve when I was a teeny bopper and he was in his thirties at the hight of Journey’s popularity. He was chillin at Tavios in Hanford, CA. People would meetup there before leaving to Visalia to cruise Moody Blvd. He was visiting family. I love it when I see younger generations enjoying non synthesized, original music.👍🏼🇺🇸
You already know I am here for anything everything journey I am just waiting on the day you get to the Oh Sherrie song & video I need this in my life..
Another great performance by Journey is "Wheel in the Sky" from Osaka Japan the opening is jaw dropping; or "Mother, Father" from their Houston Concert.
Timeless music. My Mom & brother saw Journey in concert back in those Steve Perry days. One of my Mom's favorite memories. Even today with advanced dementia, she loves Journey & we shared a few songs just today for smiles after her hip surgery. Perry is in a class all his own.
Back in the late 80s, early 90s, one of the local car dealers at that time used this song in their commercials. Brings back memories every time I hear this song.
First time I met Steve Perry, he and a couple of the band members drove up on motorcycles to the bowling alley and they came in to play some video games and, yes, the juke box!! Went on to meet him several times when he was in town visiting but always a nice person.
Stephen Ray Perry was born in Hanford, California, to Portuguese parents from the Azores. He is an only child. Perry grew up interested in music, as his father, Raymond Perry (Pereira), was a vocalist and co-owner of radio station KNGS
Freddie Mercury was once asked what's it like to be the best singer in rock and roll, he replied I don't know why don't you ask Steve Perry
Wish this were true, but it's a myth. Perry is better, though.
Love this!!
@@lizgray5750 But it's not true.
@@RustyHinge I saw that. The are both amazing!
That is used with guitarists as well so it's doubtful. I think Steve is a better singer though
It was a magical time to see the bands live. Journey, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Bon Jovi ..true musicians ..
i wish I didnt see Bon Jovi live...they lowered this cat walk and the singer ran right past and he shook his damn hair and i got covered in his sweat...it was gross...

Bon jovi - wild in the streets..... that song give me goosebumps every time
Love Aerosmith!
I have always told people you don't hear Steve Perry sing, you Feel Steve Perry when he sings!
Most definitely agree!❤
Wow, that's good
@mikericharadson8983, I've always said the same thing. It's like his voice envelopes your complete body and you connect with his emotions as he sings any song. Steve "The Voice" Perry is, and always will be the greatest rock singer of all time.
Only 3 singers can hit me in my soul and that's Elvis Steve Perry and Phil Collins! ❤❤❤❤
I always thought he was saying any way you want it that's the way it'll be😂😂
68 years old, and I will never get used to Steve Perry's voice. It always amazes me just how good he is.
I'm 73, and ditto.
I’ll be 68 in October. I lived close to his hometown, Hanford, California. Listening to Journey and Steve Perry never gets old!
59 and ditto
AMAZING is one word to describe him! ❤❤ The group really did him wrong! 😭 Not only a great singer but a great man! He knew even at a young age, that People are more important than fame! Especially someone you love!
@@betsylocario645376 here ditto! ❤
Journey - Mother, Father live in Houston. DO IT !!
My favorite Journey song and best live performance of the band and best vocal performance of Steve Perry’s!! You’re awesome for requesting this 🤙🏼
Thank you, been screaming that myself
MUST do the Live in Houston video !!!!!
Yes. Long time Journey fan, I think his best as well. BP: It's from the wild Yellow T-shirt concert worn with his signature tails!
He already did it...
Perry is definitely the GOAT!
How often do you see Rock vocalists smiling? Think it lifts his voice even more. ❤
I’m a lifelong fan and I am still amazed by Steve’s voice.
Dimash is a great singer but Steve and Freddie are Rock Stars.
exactly
Does Dimash have original music that he sings or are they all covers? I’ve seen quite a few reaction channels that have other artists with amazing vocals but there’s no originality. There are 3 women who ofc I can’t remember their names, Home Free, & an acapella group.
I never get tired of Journey they are absolutely timeless! Steve Perry has one of the best vocals. One of my most favorite bands of all time!❤❤❤
As I've grown older I don't like certain bands like I used to. Journey and Queen are 2 that make me cringe when they come on the radio. Idk why.

Steve has a beautiful melodic quality to his voice that nobody else has. Like a Stradivarius violin has a tone no other violin has.
Steve used 1980 and earlier mics ..sound boards . No auto tune .. ear pieces .. enough said
Arnel is better .... really hard to tell the diff between him and Steve
@@dakotaman408all respect to Arnel and how he had kept Journey going all these years. But, no.

WHEEL IN THE SKY! LIVE FROM OSAKA JAPAN 1980!!! Freddy Mercury once said Steve Perry was the best vocalist in the world in an interview! Never heard anyone say that about Dimash!

@@ricohard1986 I was paraphrasing but thanks!
His voice is incredible and their music makes me happy. Enjoy!

It's amazing that the 2 greatest singers were out and about at the same time
It was a great time for music thats for sure!!! I never get tired of it.
Steve Perry is a once in a generation vocalist, his tone and range is unmatched!!
Yes Steve Perry is and always will be the whole package Handsome talented legendary ! I never got to go to his concerts but seeing his videos makes me very happy !

Yes - these are veiled lyrics about a woman who enjoyed it.
No one can do it like Steve!❤
Steve's voice is a voice you can never forget. He was so awesome. This was without auto tune. This is just pure raw talent! Steve Perry's voice as far as I am concerned is the best and then Freddie Mercury. Love your reaction!
I saw Journey multiple times back when first came out and toured. They sound exactly like the record live, they were such an EXCELLENT band to see live!!!
My favorite one from them is their last big hit, and the official video is amazing too.
"When you love a woman".
I totally get transformed back in time when I hear certain music, especially Journey. I had the childhood pleasure of meeting Steve when I was a teeny bopper and he was in his thirties at the hight of Journey’s popularity. He was chillin at Tavios in Hanford, CA. People would meetup there before leaving to Visalia to cruise Moody Blvd. He was visiting family. I love it when I see younger generations enjoying non synthesized, original music.👍🏼🇺🇸
Stone In Love is a fabulous song! Epic guitar solo!
This is my favorite journey song ever ❤❤❤❤
Totally agree on Perry…Otherworldly! The voice is PERFECT! He could sing anything…
Welcome to the soundtrack of my life! 🙂
You already know I am here for anything everything journey I am just waiting on the day you get to the Oh Sherrie song & video I need this in my life..
"Stone in Love" is another one that makes you happy. 🙂
Journey was great it’s good to see you doing this they had so many great songs
You need to peep Steve Perry's "Oh Sherri" in case you missed it !!!! 👊
Here till the end, and agree. Thanks for the video.
The way you just described it. Steve really made some girl say ohhhhhhh.
Their song Loving Touching Squeezing is another good un
Another great performance by Journey is "Wheel in the Sky" from Osaka Japan the opening is jaw dropping; or "Mother, Father" from their Houston Concert.
Teen yrs when this was out, omg the best of times, the best era ever!!
I agree with you! Steve Perry will always be 1 of my all time favorite voices
Timeless music. My Mom & brother saw Journey in concert back in those Steve Perry days. One of my Mom's favorite memories. Even today with advanced dementia, she loves Journey & we shared a few songs just today for smiles after her hip surgery. Perry is in a class all his own.
Winds of March!!! From Infinity!!❤❤❤❤❤
Everytime i hear his voice i am amazed. And i have heard it many times. My mother is even a fan. Shes the reason first time i heard it
Back in the late 80s, early 90s, one of the local car dealers at that time used this song in their commercials. Brings back memories every time I hear this song.
One of the titles on the jukebox is an absolute bluesy banger!
"Walks Like A Lady" is super 🔥🔥🔥!
✌️😎
No one today is his level. LOVE LOVE LOVE his music❤
First time I met Steve Perry, he and a couple of the band members drove up on motorcycles to the bowling alley and they came in to play some video games and, yes, the juke box!! Went on to meet him several times when he was in town visiting but always a nice person.
"Be Good To Yourself" is a banger also!
I’m glad I grew up in this time some of the greatest music ever
You must do Wheel In The Sky and Stone In Love! The notes and his live performance while hitting those notes, wow!!!
Stone In love, Lights, anything from Infinity, the list goes on
Lovin' touchin' squeezin' is a great one too.
Stephen Ray Perry was born in Hanford, California, to Portuguese parents from the Azores. He is an only child. Perry grew up interested in music, as his father, Raymond Perry (Pereira), was a vocalist and co-owner of radio station KNGS
One of my favorite Journey songs is Sweet and Simple it'll give you RnB vibes. Steve's Amazing
