First Time Hearing | Journey - Lovin, Touchin, Squeezin | Reaction

[@loridanarandolph2648]

Wheel in the Sky 1978. Watch Steve during the guitar solo. What you are hearing is Steve singing. Most people miss it or think it's coming from the guitar. Also check out Sweet & Simple, audio only. Another song Steve wrote before joining Journey. Sam Cooke was his inspiration. Beautiful, soulful and blue's.

[@Noelle0026]

That whole album is 🔥

[@dellanderica]

Evolution is one of the best and most musically sound albums, beginning to end, ever recorded. IMO

[@matteoedwardes2876]

Send her my love. Separate ways. Jeez so much Journey awesomeness.

[@fairydust-weepthewildwinds]

Greetings, saw Journey 1982, at The ROSE BOWL, Pasadena California,4th of July weekend with BLUE OYSTER CULT, TRIUMPH and ALDO NOVA….my first concert, paid $16.50 , I was 16 years old♥️🤗👍😍🎶

[@sean_b_drummer]

Journey doin' a Hard Rocker... Stone in Love 🔥🔥

[@sumonjamal1653]

Lead singer Steve Perry said he wrote "Lovin' touchin' squeezin' " about an girlfriend who was cheating on him... We've all been there and I can relate completely 👿(Effin ho...)

[@racing2cat]

Great reaction! "Lights" and "Wheel in the Sky" are musts. 🙂❤

[@tweetiepooh2001]

His voice is incredible. I was lucky enough to be coming up when they came out and have loved him all along. One handsome, sexy and very talented man.

[@thorzzz1z]

they the world the most na na na's in one song

[@sisterdebmac]

Join the club. It's MY favorite Journey song for real. It's just so funky. And I really love them so I have a ton of other songs I rank really high.

[@stellamorgan482]

I saw Journey 5 times live in the late 70's early 80's & everytime they killed it! You should listen to "Wheel in the Sky" (official video), "Lights" (official video) & "Mother, Father" (live in Houston). You can't go wrong with Journey!

[@donnamoskowitz4978]

Oh My Stars! Where do I start? First time I heard Journey was on an 8 track!!! I have yet to see a younger generation realize what the "na na na na" means! Love your reaction young man! As a diehard Journey fan, do yourself a favor and react to "Wheel In the Sky" Live from Osaka Japan 1981! He's not called The Voice for nothing! Love from Texas 🤠🤠🤠

[@tiacalhoun3841]

Agreed, Wheel in the sky is my fave….and Donna u need to check out Ok Skeez, his reaction to this was phenomenal and he got it immediately 😉

[@danisue273]

Yes, please do Lights. Beautiful song!

[@pegajense]

Please please please check out Wheel in the Sky and Walks Like a Lady live in Osaka Steve plays around with that beautiful voice of his alongside Neil's guitar

[@trishdaniel6196]

love, love, love this song!!!!!!!! Thanks for the reaction!!!!!

[@TerryKrysinski]

The Evolution album is a banger,bro. My fav by them. But there are lots of great songs by Journey. Their albums Infinity,Evolution, Departure, Escape,Frontiers and some of Raised On Radio,are all worth your investigation. Enjoy the ride...T

[@clawsv66]

This is probably my favorite journey song... next favorite is Lights! ❤

[@juneevans8647]

Great song! Next "Lights" in time frame. "Feeling that way/anytime" played together is the way it is done. Good live video on Utube. Nice Reaction!

[@cyu5251]

Greatest revenge song ever 😊❤😂

[@StarOpal]

Sweet and Simple might be my favorite 70s era song, while Lights and Wheel In the Sky would be their other best known songs, Too Late is very good. Anyway You Want It is from 80, but its part of the Greg Rolie (piano) years. Like others have said the song is about Steve's real life cheating ex. Not only was this their first song to break the top 20, meaning everyone heard it, when he did his tour promoting his solo album For the Love of Strange Medicine, he had this whole bit where he would tell a version of the story of catching her before performing the song (you can find clips from different shows).

[@Yousaywhat58]

I saw on one of the FTLOSM concert videos, Steve was telling the story behind this song and he said "I bet she's missing me now!" Good for Steve, he got the last laugh!

[@davidbordonaro1631]

am so excited for you for all the great bands and songs you haven't heard yet !

[@M1995.8]

I'm not really a Journey fan but this song and one I think you'll really like is Feeling That Way-Anytime!

[@Almaintx]

My favorite song from Journey! Thanks for sharing it!

[@marcyw922]

"Wheel In the Sky" should be your next Journey reaction. It is the song that introduced Steve Perry to us in 1977.

[@Joegoog2321]

You react so thoroughly and with an amazing ear and open mind. Simply the best reactor my friend!!! Keep it up!!!

[@rhondabaker1064]

When you love a woman by Journey ❤️

[@JuanKGM]

Great! The list of Journey recommendations is long, but I recommend you a song that has not so many mentions but it´s a masterpiece IMHO, and is: "Edge of the blade". That song exposes the great vocalist Steve is, also the guitar work is amazing.... is very dramatic. Here is my entire list of recommendations for Journey: Any way you want it Separate ways (worlds apart) Open arms Wheel in the sky Lights Who´s crying now Stone in love The party´s over (Hopelessly in love) Still they ride Mother, father Send her my love Chain reaction After the fall Rubicon Only the young Ask the lonely Suzanne I´ll be alright without you When you love a woman With Arnel Pineda: City of hope Edge of the moment Chain of love Human feel

[@TheDivayenta]

Can you hear his vocal idol’s influence in this? Sam Cooke!

[@matteoedwardes2876]

Anyway you want it is FANTASTIC early vid too.

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Great 👍 Suggested videos 📹: 1 Journey performs Open Arms. 2 Steve Perry sings I Stand Alone 3 The Storm performs Show Me the Way 4 Bad English performs Forget Me Not.

[@kathybuchanan6060]

Check out Journey 1977 on the Midnight Special.

[@emmahowells8334]

Steve perry vocals are phenomenal, try reacting to the songs called Lay it down, Sweet and simple, Lady luck, Edge of the Blade, After the fall. Troubled Child, Positive Touch, Girl cant help it, Suzanne, l La do da, Mother Father, Dead or alive, Chain reaction. All awesome journey songs. Steve perry solo songs, Oh Sherri, She's mine, You better wait, Foolish heart, Strung out, Go away, Against the wall, Missing you. All great songs 😎👌🎸

[@annewoodard6803]

Every band did a ballad at some point. We all ate it up, what a feel good song 😁💖 Next do “Lights”

[@DevInvest]

This came out my Freshman year of HS. It was great then. Great now.

[@njt7117]

Great reaction. I would recommend reacting to Whos Crying Now and Open Arms live from 1981 as well as Separate Ways Worlds Apart

[@marshabailey1121]

Steve was the band's original chick magnet. Women went crazy for how he sounded and looked. For one thing, the HAIR. This story is personal to Steve who wrote it about an ex whom he caught cheatng on him. Slut shaming, with a long chorus of na na booboo...The accompaniment is loosely based on The Stripper. The women in the audience were a;; asking WTF was wrong with her! This song was early on in his musical relationship with Neal...this was all about the VOCAL.

[@cherylsnyder560]

A great live performance would be "Walks Like A Lady" 1980 in Osaka. Japan. I don't believe there's ever been a more perfect pairing of voice and guitar than Steve Perry's voice and Neal Schon's guitar.

[@user-kc7gq1pb5y]

❤❤❤❤❤you are my favorite reactor ❤❤❤

[@andreasmith6528]

My fave is Separate Ways, but that’s early 80s. And Open Arms.

[@sylvialopez5928]

Next do Father mother please do react to this this one also is my favorite the voice no one comes near his voice as far as the clothes it was in at the time he wore it. Well, I’m sure a lot of folks agree on that.❤❤

[@ksanches]

Definitely my favorite Journey song ! I was probably 16 when it was burning up the radio.

[@patticampana9458]

Adore this song! Applies to a point in my life. Played it over and over. Thank you!✌️

[@shandac1027]

If you like this vibe , check out Journeys tracks Feeling that way/Anytime

[@rachelpsmith3129]

Journey has always been important to me as a prompt to change radio stations.

[@tiacalhoun3841]

Wheel in the sky is a MUST…..a lot of people favor it of all the Journey hits

[@melodyszadkowski5256]

The ultimate revenge song, directed at his ex who he saw cheating on him.

[@laurabuer4714]

Dream Theater does an impeccable cover of this song. 😉

[@fabianaalba3268]

Beutty King The golden voice legend baby ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@wendyhowe2178]

This video always shocks first time viewers. Lol. But I have always thought…is that Steve is HOT!!! in this video. I feel so sorry for the girlfriend he wrote this song about. He made her famous. 😂😂😂 who would EVER cheat on Steve Perry??? 😂😂😂

[@shadow7796]

They're honestly the best live performance band I've ever heard. I had their greatest hits "live" cassette, and it got way more play time than the studio version cd's I had. And yes, I'm an old guy now and actually still have a few cassette tapes around somewhere. Don't even own a player anymore. I refuse to let go of my cd collection, though. Too much time and money in that one. Send her my love, Stone in love, or just anything from their greatest hits collection will satisfy your melodic pallet.

[@gloriasueb]

I always felt this song had a definite stripttease/burlesque sound and beat. I think that's why the guitar isn't in the foreground. You've only heard 3 Journey songs -- don't pick a favorite yet. "Feelin' That Way/Anytime" is one of their best, from 1978.

[@kimberlycharlton1284]

The next one you should react to is Separate Ways. That one is a more "hard" song than the others,

[@teriwilkinson7816]

❤❤❤❤

[@trishriley9681]

❤

[@allendixon7700]

Journey, thank god a song called

[@allendixon7700]

I'll be all right by journey that's some real stuff right there now

[@RicP351]

Definitely check out Mother, Father.

[@nadineerickson-lo3gx]

It actually happened to Steve.

[@gram5751]

Steve can sing any style, any time, any where. He's a vocal beast! Steve wrote this song before joining Journey. He found out that his girlfriend at the time was cheating on him. Revenge rock! The lesson should be learned that you don't cheat on you boyfriend songwriter 🙂

[@kimberlylopez1476]

Try listening to Still they ride Journey

[@pamelaloven8859]

Do yourself a favor and listen to them live!!!! Live in Houston will not disappoint especially Don't stop Believing, Steve Perry is better live!

[@lesliedaubert1411]

Steve Perry wrote it about finding out his girlfriend was cheating on him. After their break-up her lover starts cheating on her. Karma. It was written before he joined Journey.

[@nadineerickson-lo3gx]

He actually sounds better live.

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

I always wondered why the tied belly shirt look never took off for men. 🤔🤔

[@thorzzz1z]

lol

[@lukeparis4097]

Need to do mother father live 1982

[@dellanderica]

Check out Walks Like a Lady

[@ronbecker7939]

You can skip most of the good 70’s bands forays into the 1980’s. I lived it. Coke ruined music in the 1980’s.

[@howdyault7710]

Put on headphones. Ur not taking it seriously
