Who’s Crying Now, Open Arms and Don’t Stop Believing all from the Live in Houston ‘81 concert. They are musts!

[@jays5454]

Don’t stop believing from houston 81 is epic and a must see. Please review that one next

[@gram5751]

Steve wrote this before joining Journey. His girlfriend denied cheating on him despite him seeing her kissing another guy. Revenge rock song🙂 Best not to cheat on your boyfriend who is a songwriter!

[@laureldonald6213]

There's a video on KZbin of Steve performing this song during the For the Love of Strange Medicine tour. He tells the story of how the song came about and said "I bet she's missing me now!" 😅

[@ruthwilfong2342]

You’ve gotta wonder if she had a brain in her head.

[@dupersuper6516]

He tells the story again in 2014 before he performs it. Also this is heavily Sam Cooke inspired.

Steve Perry , nicknamed “ The Voice” could make ANY song sound beautiful. This is one of my all time favorites because of the bluesy way he sings and the musical genius of this band. Check out “ Separate Ways” and the all to famous “ Dont Stop Believin” Love you two crazy kids!!

[@ShelbyFarrow]

I actually believe that Steve had a better voice than Freddie Mercury who is often referred to as the greatest rock voice.

[@SueKay-rq1lr]

Steve Perry had so many great songs with Journey and solo. Some include, Open Arms, Don’t Stop Believing, Sweet and Simple, Separate Ways, Oh Sherrie, When You Love A Woman, Why Can’t This Night Go On Forever, Still They Ride. Many, many more great songs.

[@harpoon_bakery162]

wow, that's a lot of songs. did he write them all?

[@SueKay-rq1lr]

@@harpoon_bakery162 There are many more. Steve either wrote or co-wrote the songs.

[@rondickinson8741]

Absolutely any song from Journey is a good choice

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

Steve Perry's vocals were absolutely unmatched. You NEED to check out Don't Stop Believing, Who's Crying Now, Separate Ways, Open Arms, Lights, and some of his solo work - Foolish Heart and Oh Sherrie.

[@sharonchaput9705]

Steve Perry is simply the GOAT of rock vocalists.

[@reneeheknowsmyname6771]

It's a betrayal song!!! Steve Perry has said, that it actually happened to him. He said that he was at a gig one night and that when he came home late that night. His girlfriend wasn't home and so he thought she was with her girl friends! Until he heard '2 car doors slam!!!' He said that he looked through the window and saw his girlfriend and another guy all over each other!!! Thus, you got .....'Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'!!!' Other great Classic Journey song you guys should react to are ........ 'Girl Can't Help It, Chain Reaction, After The Fall, The Party's Over (studio version), Edge Of The Blade, Ask The Lonely, I'll Be Alright Without You, Why Can't This Night Go On Forever, When You Love A Woman, Message Of Love, Escape, Still They Ride (studio version)'

[@danielbenincasa770]

One of the best singers. He has such a clear natural tone.

Musically, vocals it can't be done any better. Front man is awesome. No auto tune here.

[@AnthonyL0401]

Yes they are. I think if you always have something correcting your voice you wont strive to sing better. @@AnthonyL0401

[@michaelfried3123]

Journey owned the late 70's and early 80's. My dad brought these albums into the house back then as they were being released. Total classic period of Journey right here.

[@pennyrogers629]

Mother Father live from Houston 1981! Lights, Wheel in the Sky, why can’t this night go on Forever, anyway you want it . Oh my the list goes on and on. Steve Perry is a vocal beast!! ❤❤❤❤ Makes you feel every word he sings!

How do you know that Steve Perry is a great vocalist, he sounds exactly the same lies as he does in studio. Many say with his incredible range that he is considered one of the best rock singers of all time

My favorite Journey song! It's fire!

Steve is so amazing. His voice is one of the best. So many great songs.

[@JaneDoe-lq3du]

The vocals are insane in this song. Glad you gave it a listen!

[@suecook1326]

That's exactly why they did this chorus... as if they're laughing at her about it. The keyboardist played with Santana at Woodstock and the guitarist joined the band later. They then split off and helped form Journey.

[@rebeccarockchik6704]

Wheel In The Sky!! ✌❤

[@ruub9971]

I love these Journey reacts! I highly highly recommend 'Send her my Love', its hauntingly beautiful and is a bit like Faithfully

[@trudyjoejenkins9357]

Not sure if anyone knows but Billboard 100 just did a vote on who the number one Rock voice of all time was and of course Steve Perry won by a landslide!! Just over 69%of the vote. The next one was a newer band with like 27%. Any others were barely even on the graph. Billboard did their own top 50 and put Steve at 30! Rarely gets the love from the industry

[@lindarumsey3109]

You nailed the reaction and meaning of the lyrics! Na na na na

[@supobostarman]

Great reaction! Your parents/grandparents were pretty cool , eh? Oh to be a teenager in 1978 again! We had so much fun and such great music (and such great hair/clothes styles too)! We never thought we'd grow old and this amazing rock music would vanish but sadly it did, but at least some younger people are rediscovering it! Thank you!!!

[@billc.5861]

Gregg Rolie was the original keyboard & lead vocalist of Journey until Steve was brought on the 4th album, he was also Santanas original lead vocalist & keyboardist, Neil Schon guitarist (also Santana) Ross Valery bassist and Steve Smith on drums is so good , great jazz style and footwork for days **SIDENOTE. I actually saw bassist Ross Valery jamming last weekend with friends Stef Burns on guitar & the incredible drummer Jeff Campatelli Having fun goofing around with big smiles. Very cool.

[@gloriasueb]

This is a fun song to listen to. I have always thought the rhythm with that drum beat sound like something you would hear in a strip joint

[@cdfdesantis699]

My fave Journey song! Love the smoky, slightly sleazy tone, & how Steve & the whole band get that great audience participation. Thanks for your reaction.

[@robertg7396]

If you "really" want to hear how amazing Steve Perry's vocal range is, I would highly encourage you to check them out live. "Mother, Father" live in Houston 1981. Everything about it will blow you away. The keys, guitar solos, vocals, etc. Truly incredible! *I hope you didn't squeeze Samantha too hard. She's a delicate flower, after all. 😂🌺

[@georgeacker5668]

Yes, Mother Father live 1981 Houston.

[@matteoedwardes2876]

Separate Ways, Wheel In the Sky, and Anyway you want it….need to come next. They just do.

[@wendyhowe2178]

This song actually happened to Steve Perry. He caught his then girlfriend arriving home as he looked out the window saw her kissing the guy. So yeah…Na na na na…can you imagine having a song written about you? She’s really famous now!😂😂😂

[@pegajense]

Please please please check out Mother Father live in Houston the vocal acrobatics are incredible!

[@anway1953]

Seen Journey every concert near Detroit in the 70's and 80's was always a phenomenal concert guaranteed! So many great live bands during that time.

[@robertwalker1803]

When they first started out they had “ Separate Ways” as their encore….then this became their encore.Keyboard player sang and played with Santana right before this ,along with Neal Schon on lead guitar.

[@dturasky19]

ths song followed by City of the Angels were recorded to flow into each other, and are usually played on radio together . I suggest a relisten with both! btw like your reactions, and damn dude those guns are motivating me to get back into the gym lol

[@kkingthemotivationalspeake1576]

Love your videos guys

[@chrisjamieson3452]

Journey definitely had very competent musicians and successful single writers. Likewise, Perry clearly had a voice that resonated. Don't really know what all the criticism was about. Personally, I liked their 1st (non hit) album was the most interesting work.

[@rsw1227]

JOURNEY: "Winds Of March" "Walks Like A Lady" "Sweet And Simple" "I'm Cryin'" "Patiently" "Edge Of The Blade" "Where Were You" "After The Fall" "Stone In Love" "Escape" "Feeling That Way/Anytime" Basically ALL of them!

[@wendyshores6771]

You forgot one of their best... Lights!

[@bradsullivan2495]

A few years later, the guitarist, Neil Schon, teamed with keyboardist Jan Hammer on a great (and underrated) song, "No More Lies"--about the evils of infidelity. Well worth a reaction.

[@johndillon1299]

Greatness

[@AndICanTalk2]

Great reaction to one of the great voices of all time, and one of the most iconic bands of the 70s and 80s. Separate Ways, Open Arms, and Don’t Stop Believing are also amazing by this band.

[@russellellis9269]

I was 17 when this song came out. Great make out song.

[@bikerbud3903]

"Mother Father" Live 1981 in Houston. You'll enjoy the Piano solo at the end.

[@raymo6795]

...this song was my introduction to Journey as a 12 year old...one of the greatest bands of a generation. They were ever present thruought my youth, with one great song after another...perhaps you should feature a Journey tune chronologically, ...I think "City of the Angels" was the next track from this album, "Evolution"...but they really have too many great songs to list

[@CuttinEJ]

Pure blues rock. Gotta love it 🥰

[@karlsmith2570]

4:49 "But, When You Listen To It, It Sounds Like A Break-up Song" You're correct, Sam. Steve Perry wrote this song based on the experience of his girlfriend at the time cheating on him and essentially wrote this as a way of telling her that karma was gonna get her in the end

[@rondickinson8741]

These earlier days it was a Greg Rolie the keyboards and he played in the band Santana and he also sings lead on some of the songs or he'll share with Steve Perry

[@lilamuzik3385]

I took my 16 year old niece and her friend to a Journey concert...and they loved it. Next day she called me and told me she put the "na na na na na" song on her IPOD. You two just gotta do "Separate Ways" . A total Rock and Roll banger!

[@JoeCruz-hs2yt]

lucky dude fine lady !

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

One of the most downloaded songs ever is a Journey song; Don’t Stop Believin’. . I cannot imagine that you haven’t heard it, but if you have indeed been living under the proverbial rock, you must make yourselves aware of it. HUGE hit song. And always do Journey live……so good.

[@SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman]

Only the Young is my jam especially with the Vision Quest video ✌💖☮

[@marshabailey1121]

Steve's hair was as spectacular as his voice. It's great that you got that this is a slut shaming song which Steve wrote about someone who'd cheated on him.

[@billwiley7216]

Usually if a debate comes up concerning who is the best male voice in rock music you usually hear 3 names, Steve Perry, Paul Rodgers and Tommy Shaw.

[@sodapop1850]

You should definitely do "Open Arms" next. It is the greatest power ballad of all time.

[@jennhurl]

Hey Phil & Sam so I won't give you a hundred details you'll hear from others but here's a few other facts. Steve's voice is so super special because it's a contralto. It's the lowest of a female voice - yet very, very high for a male voice, which for a male is known as a countertenor. He can hit 4 octaves with little effort. That range is reserved for the best of the best Freddie Mercury, Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, etc... The list of 5 octave singers is impressive, but so are the 4's. Another fun fact, notice in the live videos the saxophone player. That's Randy Jackson, who was a judge on American Idol. He toured with them for 2 years. Steve never married. He didn't want to make the same mistakes as his parents. He had many girlfriends & one daughter. In 2011 after seeing a film about cancer he wrote to Kellie Nash who was in the film & was terminal. He got into a relationship with her knowing this. Before she passed she made him promise to come out of seclusion which he had been in since 1996. Thank you Kellie because he returned to the stage a year and a half after her passing. Then in 2018 he released his first album in 24 years. She was a gift to Steve and all of us.

[@tomaleshire4145]

If you go look at Carlos Santana's performance at Woodstock you will see a very young Neal Schon on guitar and Gregg Rolie on piano.💯 That's who they played with before they formed Journey!🔥😳😁❤️✌️

[@artsilva]

That is Carlos on guitar in Woodstock, Neil didn't join the band until the forth album. Woodstock was performed four weeks before the release of their (Santana) first album.

[@RustyHinge]

"Mother, Father" is a must, but seriously, just pick any Journey song and be amazed. They had a variety of styles. Top-notch musicians.

[@joanfisher1079]

True story. Steve brought this sing into the band. His Gorlfriend was caught driving up to the apartebr she shared with Steve and kissing another guy. Steve had home early frim a gig and watched the entire episode transpire. He turned his painful experience into Lovin Touchin Squeezin.

[@papamac2590]

[@wallyllama2926]

As mentioned by others, Mother Father is outstanding! My personal fave because it’s fun is Stone In Love.

[@TheMeerkat2323]

Hello Phil and Samantha, I hope you are well. If you haven't already visited and reacted to a group called Poison, I would love to hear what you think of them, particularly with the songs, Nothin' But A Good Time, Every Rose Hs Its Thorn, and my personal favourite of theirs Unskinny Bop. Their music is a little like Guns N Rose, being on the heavier side of rock

[@mamaflush9945]

Hello Phil & Sam, if you'd like to check out more tunes by the great Steve Perry then I'd suggest checking out "Journey - Don't Stop Believin' (Live 1981: Escape Tour -2022 HD Remastered)" this song is from their seventh studio album called "Escape" released in 1981.

[@cosmiccowboy7764]

Journey dropped a song in a movie about high school wrestling and of course growing pains called “Vision Quest” and the song is Only the Young. Deep track kinda stuff

Thanks for the great music reactions!! I was 13 years old when this song was released; nothing like music from the old days!
