DO THEY HAVE ANY BAD SONGS?! First Time Hearing Journey - Still They Ride (Philadelphia) Reaction!

[@harrisonbhurt777]

Best male vocalist of all time. Glad I got to see them in concert back then.

[@cden409]

1983 Japan concert 🎶 the best recording of this song live. But this is great also.

[@tanaforet8684]

Steve’s voice is like liquid gold. He is known as “The Voice” for a reason. Truly a master of his craft and completely untouchable. When you hear his voice, you KNOW it’s him. You should check out Why Can’t This Night Go On Forever! From the Raised on Radio Tour. Such a beautiful melodic song and his high notes are unbelievable. Great reaction ♥️

I'm 46,,I fellowed them in the 80s. I saw them about 23 times,, even seen Steve Perry break wine glasses on stage by hitting that note with that voice,,,,,

There's really something special about this song. I used to play it over & over to TRY and sing along with Steve. He's a national treasure.

[@lisalynnmarie2448]

This is my number one favorite song, ever. You're right, there is something special about this song. I actually like the studio version better, however.

[@vinceaiello3163]

It's such an underrated song. When I go back to my childhood home, I'm quickly reminded of this song

[@cden409]

Look for Rick Beato and his video on this song ‘Still they Ride’

[@hubrisnaut]

Look, Let's admit it, Steve is epic.

[@poisonlady1965]

Aah the music of my generation rocked it hard and it shows! Steve Perry’ was the “voice” of my generation. Grateful for that and I listen often to them still and always will.

[@MauroJourney]

Jonathan Cain (keyboards) is the romantic soul and Neal Schon (guitar) is the rock soul of the band. Steve Perry is (was) simply "The Voice" (I think it was Bon Jovi who called him that).

[@toodlescae]

I looked it up: He has been dubbed "The Voice", a moniker originally coined by fellow singer Jon Bon Jovi. Queen guitarist Brian May said: "Perry is a truly luminous singer, in my opinion-a voice in a million."

[@cryptojihadi265]

Well put!

[@ruthlafler5622]

If you listen to some of videos where they strip out everything but the vocal track, what Perry has in addition to his technically beautiful sound is his phrasing.

[@thorfinsky1427]

My recommendations are "Who Crying Now" and "Send Her My Love". ❤

[@LuisRivera-ss4vx]

Steve Perry is the only reason I became a Journey fan, I had both Album back in the days Escape and Frontier, he's voice was incredible 😮😮😮

[@johnlove7224]

The Voice The Voice The Voice Journey w/Steve is so special!! Super solid performers. I love lots of music. Rock from the end of the 50’s to 80’s, my favorite. Real music, real musicians, real talent. They had to perform live. We all went to concerts! Now a days….😝😝😝🥱🥱🥱

[@Onz70]

Back in the day when there were no mobile phones. Just people enjoying the moment instead of recording it.

[@markhagerman1837]

Such an amazing, reminiscent song. The Escape album dominated 1981. Every song is incredible. This clip is from their Frontiers tour.

"Separate Ways," but be sure to listen to the full 5:27 version and NOT the Official Video which, surprisingly, is chopped by a full minute.

[@reneeheknowsmyname6771]

This video is from Journey's documentary called 'Frontiers And Beyond'!! It's very good. It shows about life on the road, not only for the band. But for their road crew as well!!

[@idalucero1260]

Please listen to "Still They Ride" live from Tokyo 1983. Steve was sick with the flu, but you would never know it listening to this incredible performance. This one is so incredibly pristine🎤🎶🎵

[@pittsburghguy404]

My favorite band from childhood check out Winds of March and Wheel in the sky live 81

[@stevenseul361]

Winds of March is one of their best. That whole album is Fire

[@monroegodette6440]

One of the great singer/guitarist combos in rock history. Schon has the guitar singing also.

[@coachbigdawg41]

Live in Tokyo 1983 is by far the best version 😊

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

Patiently live is amazing, along with Winds of March.

[@conrad98gtp]

For every 80's mega rock bands, there's always a lead singer/lead guitarist super duo element. They always complement each other perfectly. This has always been the case with Steve Perry and Neal Schon with Journey.

[@Afc91artistNC]

Steve Perry can sing. I never heard this song live. Thanks for sharing your reactions.

[@sandrasupple1848]

One of my favorites ..

[@michaelwilson924]

I believe this was recorded in Philadelphia (yep, mentioned twice in the song) and originally aired over the radio during the King Biscuit Flour Hour. I remember the intro as I had recorded this onto a cassette.

[@richardcurtis5281]

The King Biscuit Flour Hour, haven't heard that referenced in a looong time!

[@gerib4234]

King Biscuit Flour Hour!?! My brain is reeling...why do I know this?? Wow you really took me way back there for the first time since then. Thanks for the memory jolt!❤

[@michaelwilson924]

@@gerib4234 yeah, it was just a few years ago. I grew up in an extremely rural part of WA State so live music was hard to come by. During the summer, we spent our weekend at our lake cabin in the mountains. If atmospheric conditions were just right, I could pull in the KBFH show on Saturday night. I about lost my mind when the Journey show came on. Great memories.

[@larryparrish6460]

Here is a few fantastic songs “Faithfully”When you love a woman “Wheel in the sky” Foolish heart”the last song in the 80’s Steve did was a good bye to the band & fan’s it is beautiful “ Why can’t this night go on forever”

[@barsandbarbells2022]

We've got Faithfully up on the channel! ;)

[@PowAngel]

Steve Perry was interviewed not long ago, & was asked about his extraordinary vocals with Journey, as well as his tracks from his solo album during the 1980's, his reply - "Yea I know, what on earth was I thinking? I always thrived to perform my best, but those standards made it so hard to keep up with as I aged". He has no regrets, however he did emphasize on the fact that during that time they travelled so much, & did so many shows, that he was starting to lose his passion for singing. In his own words he stated "I lost my passion to sing & perform, I just didn't want to do it anymore". When asked after leaving Journey if he ever caught himself singing solo & alone any of the music? he replied - "No, when I stopped performing, I stopped completely, there is no hidden Steve Perry solo rendention without accompaniments on my farm, I literally lost my passion to sing." Imh that was sad, I think bands in general forget that a vocalist their instrument is their vocals, instruments outside that realm can be easily replaced, strings replaced, & retuned, a drum reskinned, a keyboard replaced, but vocals require a well trained singer, to stretch your limits, but also know when to say when, & a vocalist needs more time to fine tune their vocals, and a part of that is keeping the passion. When it becomes all about schedules, & making money, travelling, & ultimately losing any real social reactions, alot of lost time in ones life, the money doesn't seem all that appealing.

I played trumpet from age 9 all the way through my college years. Played professionally and was involved in so many groups and performances. I got burnt out and it stopped being fun. I quit playing and didn’t pick up a trumpet for 25 years. Now, at 48, I’m back at it. But it’s almost like starting over again. Much like what Steve has done now. His voice is very different from where it used to be. But he enjoys singing again.

[@andreagiesbrecht611]

This is great, of course, but the studio version of "Still They Ride" is sublime.

Where would someone get a copy of the studio version?

[@ronheyduk1864]

Now you went and found a Journey song I wasn't familiar with 👍! I'm glad Neil Schoen was able to show his chops on electric guitar in this one. He is an outstanding musician, but frequently takes a back seat to The Voice.

[@glendirienzo1365]

You think his vocals on this video are crazy? Listen to the same song on Journey's Greatest hits live. After he hits that note, the girls in the background were screaming.

[@alanshields8036]

Speaking of guitar perfection, how could Neal not be great after playing with the legendary Carlos Santana. You can hear Santana in most of their songs.

It has been forever since he left Journey. A few years he released an album: Traces, it is a concept album with a matching video.

[@timothybush9633]

I have never been a Journey fan, for personal reasons, but I know they have a number of fans and they've put out a lot of music and as a musician I can applaud how far they've come since Feeling that way from 1978

[@Mare_bear738]

Beautiful❣️Thank you for reacting to this special Journey song, its a real gem and I loved your reaction. If you want a more upbeat song, (Non Ballad) I'd try "Stone In Love" " Line of Fire", "Escape" (the opening song), "Keep on Runnin" "Wheel In the Sky" "Anyway You Want It." (These are all live on the familiar 1981 Houston concert, but you may find other performances out there too. Another Excellent choice would be "Edge of the Blade" I do not think there's a "live" video for Edge of the Blade" but I highly recommend a listen! Good luck choosing the next one....😊Thanks again Sam and Phil, you guys are the best!
