BEEN AWHILE!| FIRST TIME HEARING Journey - Girl Can't Help It REACTION

[@TheDivayenta]

And it’s The Dawg himself on bass- American Idol’s Randy Jackson- he played bass for them for a couple of years. ❤❤

[@RMBlake007]

I didn't know that until Amber said it. Now I havve to watch the video again...I know him from A Idol

[@rickg3359]

Wooof wooof wooof

[@mathewschlissel4633]

Steve wanted Randy Jackson on bass and booted out Ross Vallory for a second. Good for Amber spotting him because he was a lot heavier back then

[@stevenedwards5356]

I love Randy! So cool he was with them…I loved him on American Idol. His jacket is so dope🤘

[@philstone3859]

Wow, how cool.

[@oldnerdreviews]

Steve had one of the most iconic, powerful, beautiful, effortless voices in history.

[@Robsan40]

No, not "one of the most", His voice is the greatest ever.

[@oldnerdreviews]

@@Robsan40 I would include in that list: Karen Carpenter, Freddie Mercury, and Ann Wilson.

[@lindamcnamara7803]

You said it one of the most effortless voices ever.

[@oldnerdreviews]

[@Keiron-pw6sl]

Absolutely right Steve Perry has an amazing voice

[@sunnystormy4973]

-definetly- ! 🔥

[@shyman99]

I hated that they allowed the live vocal for this promo as it is so inferior to the studio vocal. Such a great song for them to ruin this way. Jay was spot on by mentioning that he wished he could hear the studio version because he is missing something in this live version. I have mentioned this over and over in comments that they need someone like me to provide them the best video to watch for reviews. Hope they will call me up.

[@GratefulNole1]

none of that goddamn autotune that has ruined music for over 30 years.....

[@tammygregory5452]

Steve Perry is one of my favorite voices in the history of music.

[@alejandrobojorquez6181]

" I'll Be Alright Without You " - by JOURNEY 1986 this is another one of their greatest hits 🎸 from Raised on Radio. Amazing tune what a classic

[@mamamac70]

Great suggestion!

[@toxicavenger9753]

I saw them in Philly back in '86. It's still the best concert I've ever seen live. And I've seen a lot of great artists along the way.

[@colty7764]

I liked "Suzzane" off that album (Raised on Radio)

[@gram5751]

Mother Father live in Houston is a must listen. Steve says it is the hardest song for him to sing live. And he recorded the song in one take for the album. Unbelievable! 🎶

[@staceycoates1418]

Mother Father is one of my favorite songs by them. And I never heard it until about 1999. In my defense, I think the album it was on came out before I was born, or at least when I was very, very little!

[@sunnystormy4973]

-ikr- !

[@chrishutchinson1736]

Love that song

[@chazrjr]

THAT is one of the BEST live Vocals EVER!!

[@josephjohnson1025]

The man can sing the phone book and it would be a hit!!

[@michaellynch9550]

Send her my love is another great journey song. There’s live versions on KZbin that are really good and showcase how great they were live.

[@cjkent88]

I think they’ve already reacted to that one!

[@kbusby4824]

​@@cjkent88They did, but it was the studio version not live.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

I love that song... and also "ONLY THE YOUNG" ❤

[@lreed1040]

That was the next song they were going to play at the concert in the video. It is starting at the end as their next song.

[@yvonnemendez3075]

Don't care who they have Steven Perry is and always will be Journey 🎉❤

[@jonoveracker9682]

Yes, and Randy loved to name drop his time with Journey as often as he could on American Idol.

[@rickpetersen1745]

The Voice never disappoints. Yes Amber that is Randy Jackson playing bass. He played bass for Journey on this tour. He also produced the album for Journey.

[@chuckwhite3176]

Hard to beat the feel-good vibes of a Journey song. Great riff.

[@KellyShaw-w1z]

Can't go wrong with Journey! ❤

[@rayburn2007]

No this version is better than than the album version

[@bjmcmahon722]

Fact.

[@blackwolf3127]

One of my favorite songs by journey will always be " whose crying now" absolutely amazing.

[@TheGenXTeacher]

Live or in the studio...their songs are amazing. No auto tune, no lip syncing, no prerecorded backup vocals or music. You can't fake talent. Journey was just true talent.

[@rayburn2007]

This is better than the studio version , Neal’s guitar solos are better than studio

[@scottdavidson9963]

Perfect performance in every way ( actually a verse from a song of theirs) AND IT IS!!!😮

[@michaelp2776]

Journey never disappoints. One of the best bands ever.

[@colty7764]

Their 80s stuff pretty much rockd, they had found their groove (the album Departure, 1980). "Anyway you Want It" off that album was one of my favorites.

[@chrishutchinson1736]

This earned a double watch. Journey at its best. Great song...Steve Perry killing it. Kudos to Amber for recognizing Randy Jackson

[@sonyawasmer2344]

Please do listen to the studio version also. The harmonies at the end are insane. Not sure if you’ve reacted to these, but: Faithfully Send her my love Still they ride The party’s over (hopelessly in love) Open arms The hit list is endless

[@amym1885]

They've done Faithfully and Open Arms.

[@RMBlake007]

They've done Faithfully for sure...

[@RabbiSteve]

Agreed. This is good. But the studio version is even better.

[@retired4365]

I'm so proud of you Amber for knowing Randy on bass. This is a banger to play bass and guitar. ❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘

A Journey reaction? You made my night! Steve is awesome! BTW -Steve and Randy Jackson are still friends ❤️🙂❤️

[@sherrystanko2669]

Perry is renowned for his countertenor vocal range, which spans from F♯2 to A5. Perry's voice has been described as a "high 'tenor altino' [with] a tone somewhere between Sam Cooke and Aretha Franklin." He has been dubbed "The Voice", a moniker originally coined by fellow singer Jon Bon Jovi.

[@centurycomiccenter4526]

Patiently and Winds of March have AMAZING Steve Perry vocals ❤❤❤

[@richardhill6125]

I've been a Journey fan from way back. I never saw them in concert. I really like these videos of them live. In this video you can tell that they are really having a good time performing.

[@WWIIman1942]

With Randy Jackson (yes the American Idol judge) tearing up the bass! Check out "Ill Be Alright Without You" off of the same album. Its got one of Neal Schons best, most soulful solos at the end. A mind blower.

[@jeanstrickland2445]

Glad you got back to the man with the voice, Journey is such a great band. His voice makes my heart melt 🫠

[@rwschumm]

This song Soars, and Harmonizes. And then it Soars and Harmonizes Some More. And then it Soars and Harmonizes Even More!!! It's Just Stellar, and is their BEST, IMO, especially in the Official Studio Version. Great Choice & Reaction!

[@NoCanDu]

Yes! 🙌 THIS!

[@susanholly007]

This “Raised on Radio” Tour was the first concert I ever went to back in 1986. I was 15. Seeing Journey with Steve Perry as my first concert is an awesome memory I’ll never forget!

[@nancysmith8626]

That must have been awesome! My first show was Kansas on their comeback "Power" tour in 1986, and I loved it. That was a good year!

[@robertg7396]

You have to do Journey "Mother, Father". Live from Houston, 1981. Arguably one of the best live performances ever in any genre!! (In my opinion) 🤘😃

[@melissadambro8873]

Yes! You guys have got to watch this performance! So powerful and will give you chills at the end!

[@sharontimmons5706]

100% agree. You Have to watch that live performance from Houston

[@georgia1bulldogs]

No better group ever!!! In concert a lifelong dream to see!!!

[@kevinfarrell3121]

I went to this tour in Hartford Connecticut, and used to go to an average of 12 or 13 shows a year in those days (mid 80’s through late 90’s). Since that time I have been working at 2 of our Country’s most famous music venues in Tennessee and have witnessed many many concerts. This show still ranks in the top 3 greatest my whole life!

[@tonyhomant244]

Yes, that's Randy. He and Bob Glaub shared duties on the album, but Randy toured with them.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Journey "ONLY THE YOUNG" is my favvvvorite of all their songs. You will both LOVE it!!!!

[@davidavi8554]

Non other , Randy Jackson, backing vocals and bass player, later becomes host for American Idol...

Great reaction to Journey at their absolute peak, this was their time, their moment in time and we were all grateful to be along for the ride. ✌️

[@stevedouglas1654]

They were big in the mid 80’s ! I wore out my Escape cassette in the Monte Carlo in 86-87 ! 😎

[@yvonnemendez3075]

Yes yes pure magic talent no one comes close or ever will Perry

[@101scetch]

Another one of my favourite bands from the 80s. The lead singer had such a distinctive voice. It was almost haunting. Brilliant. Made my day.

[@lisalovemc717]

What you just watched basically sounded just like the studio version minus the crowd. That's how amazing they are. Please react to Still They Ride live video. His vocals will blow your mind, and he had the flu while performing it in Japan.

[@tonyhao9344]

I was at the Hawaii leg of this Raised on Radio concert tour. First time I was able to see Randy Jackson live. He's Monster bass player. I loved his work with some Jazz artists like Jean Luc Ponty.. As usual Journey killed it live, even with the new lineup of musicians...

[@RustyHinge]

Not many groups can pull off such tight harmonies live. Definitely listen to the studio version. All vocals are Perry. My 2nd favorite Journey song.

[@surlechapeau]

J & Amber, their "Don't Stop Believin' " is next for you!! Steve 'The Voice' Perry.

[@arepurposedlifewithlaura1496]

Such a great time to grow up with music. I've had the privilege of seeing them live numerous times, such great memories. The list of great songs goes on forever.

Any Way You Want It , its one of their most famous singles ❤

The most beautiful man in music history will be 75 tomorrow, January 22, 2024! He still has the pipes!!! Of all of the reactions you two do, I appreciate your reactions to Journey, most specifically, Steve Perry! This particular tune is primarily sung in Perry’s alto voice vs his typical upper register! Regardless, he’s the love I’ve longed for!

[@MsJourneyfan]

I saw Journey perform this song live in Dallas at Reunion Arena, December 2, 1986 on their Raised on Radio tour. To this day, it's still the best concert I've ever been to. Steve Perry is and always has been on a different level. The man's voice is perfection ❤

[@gingers.5933]

Love Journey (with Steve Perry)!

[@RockFan89]

Always loved the coattails. And Randy Jackson (American Idol) was their bassist on this tour. He was a studio musician and is also in a Richard Marx video. Children of the night.

[@karenkowalyk7547]

Such a great singer!!

[@stevehamilton8824]

Nothing like the voice of Steve Perry live. So special! A great song. Miss this era of music. Ross Valory was Journey's bassist and split with the band suddenly in 1985/86. Journey brought in Randy Jackson to play bass on the record RAISED ON RADIO and tour with them. Randy had played bass for Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead) and Carlos Santana earlier and was known to be an exceptional bass player in the music industry. He has some street cred even through he is mostly known for American Idol. He has played music for Bob Dylan, Elton John, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Keith Richards and countless others. Keep the Journey going!

[@philstone3859]

Fun JOURNEY fact: The lead guitarist, Neal Schon, played the original Woodstock festival when he was only 16 years old! I believe he was invited to play with SANTANA. Also, Steve Smith, the drummer, I later found out, was a high level studio player that was really under the radar with this band. I’ve heard Neil Peart of RUSH talk about him! Neil was impressed! Holy crap! I screwed up big time never seeing them.

[@larrywright6214]

NOW you must do "I'll Be Alright Without You", filmed at the same concert in Calaveras County in 1981. Best song on the album!

Have you guys still not heard 'Don't Stop Believing'?! It's, like, one of their biggest songs! I remember being in a bar in Illinois, Fast Eddies Bon Aire. And that song came on and EVERYBODY stopped and started singing it! And the place was crowded with all ages, races, etc. Everyone knew it and loved it. You gotta listen if you haven't heard it yet!

[@cden409]

Oh the song was ‘After the Fall’

[@scottboswell6406]

This is. by far. my favorite Journey song! I can't say I like the live version as much as the recorded one, but Steve Perry's voice is always golden!

[@karensporne4204]

I could listen to his voice day and night.

[@rockero1313]

"Raised on Radio" is an amazing album. my favorites from it are "Suzanne" and 'Why Can't This Night Go On Forever", a rocking one and another amazing power ballad. sadly I think this was the last tour Journey did with Steve Perry. in 97 they were going to do a tour for the new reunion album "Trial By Fire" (another amazing one) but Perry hurt his back (ironically getting in shape for the tour) and the tour never happened. Steve Perry never sang again with the rest of Journey

[@tylerhackner9731]

Love this song! Love journey

[@flairfan4life1]

And recognize basically the owner and lead guitar for Journey, right there in the front- Neal Schon.

[@cden409]

He played bass for others too. I think they are like a session players for anyone needing a certain instrument player. Randy did play on another song of theirs on the frontier album 🤔 He did tour with them on this tour

[@magneto7930]

[@robschannel4512]

Randy Jackson from American Idol was part of this song.

[@allendixon7700]

I am ma Tia MA that's the song journey. Does that that's old tommy old tommy journey

[@markzalubas5793]

These are the songs that make it worth going to concerts. Live performances have energy, a connection with the audience, and an on-stage chemistry amongst the band members that you can only experience by being there. Songs that might be sleeper hits can become the star of the show. See as many shows as you can (I know you have young ones. There is a pause during those years. but go back as soon as you can.)

[@Jacob_D4433]

They're so good! Check out Journey's "Stone In Love" Live 1981: Escape Tour. Incredible vocal as always by Steve Perry, but Neal Schon's guitar solo...WOW!!! Long Live the 80's! 💯🔥🤘

[@donnakubiski5572]

"Be Good To Yourself" is another song that has a great guitar solo outro by Neal Schon.

[@StarOpal]

Randy Jackson also played on the studio version of 'After the Fall' from Journey's previous album Frontiers (1983 this album is '86). Drummer Steve Smith (who isn't on this album/tour) had met him while doing studio musician stuff on the side (I think) and introduced him to the band. Randy is still friends with Perry, and wanna say with Smith too.

[@yvonnemendez3075]

Absolutely the best he is and always will be Journey ❤❤❤😂

[@ericwilliams1031]

"Be Good To Yourself" is another good one from the same album. My favorite Journey song is "Lights" from 1978. So bluesy with a killer guitar solo and great harmonies.
