Original Song:
• Journey - Mother, Fath...

[@rogerwatson7514]

The lyrics of this song were actually about Steve Perry’s personal life. Interesting fact: when Steve recorded this song in the studio, he did it in ONE take. This song meant a great deal to Steve emotionally, even though he stated it was a very difficult song for him to sing. IMO, Steve was THE greatest rock n roll vocalist of that amazing generation of music, which is saying a lot! Even Freddie Mercury didn’t sing with the kind of passion and soul that Steve did. When Steve sang, you literally felt the lyrics touch your soul. No auto tune. Always perfectly on pitch in live concerts. You just don’t hear music like that anymore. So heartfelt and meaningful. Beautiful melodies and lyrics without cursing, slandering, or degrading other human beings. I feel blessed to have been in high school in that era. SO MANY talented and amazing bands back then and all with their own unique sounds.

[@coachbigdawg41]

It's based on Neal schons life. Steve was a only child

[@grahamvarey1144]

Great singer for sure but Freddy he is not

[@coachbigdawg41]

Glad he's not Freddie. Freddie Couldn't wear Steve's jock strap

[@sweet60]

I just can’t get over how talented these guys were. I think they realized at the time how great they were, but couldn’t handle the magnitude of how huge they had become. Not many humans could have handled that sudden success.

[@hackapump]

I’m glad Journey are getting their belated due. They were hated by the critics in the 80s. Yet, to this day young people discover and fall in love with their songs. (Meanwhile, a lot of the acts that were afforded accolades by those same critics are long since forgotten). As freakishly talented as they are as musicians, it all comes down to songwriting. A good song is a good song. And I for one miss the days when songwriters knew a bit of music theory and not just how to operate software.

[@Faltor895]

Great comment.

[@hackapump]

@@Faltor895 Thanks, man.

[@kcewing1]

Absolutely. I was there, lived it. I had to explain and defend my love of this band for years back in the day. Same thing happened with Dio's Sabbath.

[@Frostrazor]

The entire live performance from that tour (Houston 81) is phenomenal! Every song is performed with epic sound. Long before modern technology such as auto-tune etc.

[@Melanie220]

I always love to watch the reactor's face when they watch and hear this song for the first time, especially when they get to the end and realise that yes, that's Steve's voice and not an instrument. Priceless.

[@wolf762x51]

That song, by far, is the best showcase of Steve's voice. He really shines. It's based on a true story of one of the band members, so it was a very emotional performance. Even Neil's guitar solo was originally a one take ad lib part on the studio record. He waas so spurred on a touched by the song, that he jest fell into it, performed it from the heart. To me, it's the best of Journey.

[@scottanderson2262]

Agreed! Mother, Father is Journey at their absolute best! If I had to pick a favorite, and that would be difficult, it would be this masterpiece!

[@barringtongilbert9230]

"Classic Rock" singer is totally Underestimating the soul this man has in his voice...and the soul.

[@donmorton7282]

One of the best live performances of all time

[@Eloso3135]

I saw a show during the Escape tour in ‘81, Nassau County Colesium on Long Island. This video only begins to capture how great that show was. On top of the talent Journey were true showmen. They had energy and command of the crowd that made it one of the best concerts in my 62 years.

[@sharonwilliams1427]

I could say nothing bad about any performance of the Journey of the 80’s! Mother, Father is my favorite song of their live performances. How can you top that? Steve is amazing! Jonathan, of course Neil! You can’t beat their vocals or playing!!

[@carmendeleon9849]

This song, the lirics and performace of Steve Perry, Neil, Shawn. My God!!!! Incredibly artistic, beautiful. It made me think of an Opera Rock. Journey is really unforgetable !!

[@matthewgoodA1206]

With his amazing range and distinctive tone, I think Steve Perry is just one of the greatest singers in all of rock. Astounding solo piano piece, and awesome band.

[@johnnyhunt9447]

Completely Agree!

[@stephaniepaul1710]

Its the most beautiful song ever...

[@dougmountain9149]

By far..................... my favorite Journey song.

[@RustyHinge]

I'm glad you spent time reading the lyrics. Most people are so mesmerized by the music they don't hear the great lyrics. The music (and its various moods) makes more sense when you know the words. It's a masterpiece - and the band was so freaking tight, instrumentally and vocally. BTW, the number 7 in the bible is called the perfect number. Journey has always been known not to be any kind of religious band, but certainly a band that had some spiritual / biblical references in several songs. Steve Perry was Catholic back then and Jonathan Cain is Christian; two of the principle songwriters.

[@andersgranstrom7128]

Probably the best rock-band ever!!😍Thanks for this one, love it every time! 🙂More journey please? "Send her my love" or "When you love a woman". Love the verse on this one by the way, going from minor to major!

[@melissasweeney4283]

One of my favorites of this band. It wasnt played on the radio but those who had the albumn, knows how powerful this song is..the last 15-20 seconds is all steve's voice.

[@muddersmudder7943]

Can you believe back then you literally never knew if a band could actually perform their music live like the album. Thats all we had was our albums and the radio. Yes this was pre MTV. Then if you were lucky you could go to a show and hope they were as good as their album. Even the first MTV videos were sort of a lip syncing performance art. Early Journey was my favorite, the songs were magical filled with emotion and layers not just pop to appeal to the masses. This proves that they are the real deal, so glad this is caught on video and will thrill people for all the years to come!

[@Chrisea65]

Saw this concert in Oakland ca. day on the green..Steve “the voice” Perry was always right on. Never off key. He is my all time favorite singer of all time..just perfection.. so glad I was able To have seen them 6 times… enjoy

[@Sympatico4u]

Actually - read up from Wikipedia, pretty sure there is an interview on KZbin where Steven mentioned this fact. It is part of the reason there is such amazing video from a 1981 concert! Here's the copy paste from Wiki. The material of the show was recorded and filmed for the then-fledgling MTV network on Journey's Escape Tour on 6 November 1981 at The Summit in Houston, Texas, at the height of the band's commercial success.

[@robverro566]

Thank you for analyzing this song instead of the other Journey's hits. I've been listening to this song since it came out and every time I do I get goose bumps....

[@troydawson9554]

First of all, thanks for making my day a better one. Love your reaction with Mother/Father. Jonathan Cain joined Journey at this point in time. He took over on keyboards, guitar, and background vocals. He and Steve wrote that song, and we know the rest is history, as they say. Wish Steve was still part of Journey, but his replacement sounds almost like Steve, but he also has his own distinctive sound, Arniel P. Also, today's version is sung by no other than Deen Castennos. Sorry if the last name is spelled wrong. And it's just as amazing as it was back in the day. Thanks again, Rosalie. Make it your day and Smile at someone ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@willfromyadkinville]

The Voice!

[@lkanzenbach]

I grew up in the 80s listening to Steve Perry and Journey there is no replacing Steve's vocals he's one of a kind in soul, passion, power, and inflection. John Bon Jovi called him the voice, Freddy Mercury called him the greatest rock n roll vocalist now that's some pretty good references. What more do you need.

[@tojorozombie]

Absolute master of his craft! Bulletproof voice…9th grade when this aired, the week of my 14th bday!😎

[@robinc7235]

YAY, someone has actually done a reaction to a Journey song that wasn't overplayed on the radio! Don't get me wrong, I love all their songs but Don't Stop Believing, Faithfully, etc. have, IMO, been played into the ground. Bravo to you for this reaction, I'd love to see more like it to other less known Journey songs.

[@BeatniksVids]

One of the best shows I ever saw, night before in Dallas. IMHO no one compares.

[@marycook6715]

Steve is phenomenal. Another with a great voice with massive range in Freddy Mercury. He signs opera

[@quinny6920]

Having seen this band many times live with Steve perry I can say they sound almost better then any recording. Steve just has it!!! No better,clearer voice then Steve imo The whole band is mad talent….

[@greeneyesinfl9954]

Great review as always, there is a live version of this song sung by Journey drummer at the time Dean Castronovo that is what worth a watch also. Stone in Love is an incredibly underrated Journey song.

[@MearasRex]

Oh yeah. Steve Perry's always been on my laminated list. 😂❤

[@brianpercival1829]

Very good reaction to one of the best 70s 80s bands. Saw Journey in Concert early 8os and late 80s when Randy Jackson was added. I have forgotten many concerts but I remember both Journey concerts. Unforgettable. 4 platinum albums, concerts were sold out to stadiums and arenas to fit everyone in. Hit after hit and videos on MTV. An MTV V-Jay said they are the American Led Zeppelin. Steve voice commands attention like Robert Plants. Johnathon Cain on keyboards and guitar is just like John Paul Jones. Steve Smith on drums is equal to John Bonham. Then we come to Neal Schon. Every bit as good as Jimmy Page. A child guitar prodigy, played with Jeff Beck underage in Local bar and had to sneak him in. Went on to play with Santana. He started Journey, different members but grew into this mega hits monster. Try Faithfully, Seperate Ways (Worlds Apart) the MTV Video, Send Her My Love and After The Fall music video are incredible. There is a new 'The Voice'. He is Daniel Tompkins, White Moth Black Butterfly, Tesseract, Skyharbour, Riverside with his 6 octave range.

[@jordangroff8978]

From one Cuban/German to another, gotta say, no singer comes close to Perry live!

I know this might be a couple of months "late", but may I suggest you also review Mother/Father with Deen Castronovo singing the song while playing the drums. I believe that is a phenomenal performance and very well done considering he's playing the drum part for this very deep, and intricate song.

[@cden409]

Jonathan is classically trained (piano)

[@papajon62]

Great roller coaster of a song. Another Journey song that doesn’t get a lot of rotation is “Daydream”, a nice melodic showcase of Perry’s vocal talent and Neil Schon’s blazing solos….

You just can't replace Steve Perry. Pitch perfect and soulful. Unmistakable, one of the best singers on popular music history. Love the song. I have that '81 live in Huston concert on CD. I saw them live in '79 when I was 14. We were blown away, in shock for the first part of the concert. Steve Perry's voice surpassed the records live. He has that special extra soulfulness live, incredible. Much love from California. You are fun to listen with.

[@kcewing1]

I saw this tour in '81 at Pine Knob, I was 16. They sold out five shows, stayed in Detroit the entire week, played softball with the DJs and fans on their two days off, it was surreal. My buddy saw the '80 tour with Gregg Rolie still in the band, same as you saw in '79. I would killed to have seen them in '79, still playing stuff from their phenomenal first three prog fusion albums coupled with Perry's stuff.

[@billypappyeaton3504]

1981...................No Auto Tune.....No Backing Tracks........Just Pure Talent.......Oh The Good Ole Days.....

[@mattbochat3957]

I was at this concert in Houston in 1981. Little did I know then as a teenager what an iconic performance this would become. Steve Perry was at his very best as usual. All the band fits together perfectly. Journey's music is timeless and still very relevant all these years later. Thanks for the review.

[@jimbojumbo5805]

Hey Matt...I was at this very concert too back in November '81, and I'll never forget it. I was located on the right side of the Summit (facing the stage), in the middle of the lower level, about halfway back. Such great memories for me!!

My mom met Steve Perry when I was a baby, and he asked to hold me. (I'm about the age of his daughter and he was missing her). Mom said that he was absolutely graceful and lovely to me, her, and everyone he interacted with. Just thought I'd share that story. I've seen Journey 3x, unfortunately after his departure. Worth it every time!

Such an under rated and under played song. Deserved better

[@TamaraWhiteside-k3c]

I bought the Escape album in 1981 when I was 13 years old and played it until the grooves wore out. I was immediately drawn to this song at first by the amazing guitar solo (Neal Schon is my guitar hero), but ultimately its simply a gorgeous song and has long been my favorite Journey song. And Steve Perry on vocals? Let me just say there will NEVER be a rock voice as powerful, emotional and pitch perfect as Steve's. To this day, at age 56, I've still never heard a male rock voice that can compare to Steve's (even the great Freddie Mercury). Thank you Journey for being such a big part of my youth!

[@airlinename2614]

[@bham311]

For those of you who didn’t get to see Journey on the Escape tour…you missed the most epic rock concert you can possibly imagine. Ross Vallory, Steve Smith, Jonathon Cain, Neal Schon and of course Steve Perry were all in their prime and they killed it…I was fortunate enough to see them 3 times during that tour and I can honestly say that I e never seen a better live band.

[@ColmSutton-we6yn]

I'm so jealous, and couldn't agree more. Journey lost their diamond!

[@poppers22]

This song still brings tears to my eye. What they are saying is so needed today..

[@RockDocNeal]

This is a great song and live show and it includes the best line-up of the band (IMO), including Ross Valory on bass and Steve Smith on drums, both of whom were kicked out of the band for BS reasons during the recording of the album Raised on Radio in 1985 (both of them ended up returning to the band for extended stints, as recently as 2020). Steve Perry is simply an incredible vocalist with tons of natural talent. Randy Jackson (from American Idol) replaced Ross Valory on bass during the late 80's and he called Steve Perry "The Voice". On a side note...if you are into instrumental jazz-fusion music, you should check out a live video from Vital Information, which was Steve Smith's side project. He is an absolutely phenomenal drummer, but you wouldn't necessarily pick up on that with the straight-ahead rock drumming he did for Journey (he has been voted #1 all-around drummer by Modern Drummer magazine 5 years running and he was included in their list of top 25 drummers of all time in 2001).

[@vanessa4u4evr]

They've never recorded a bad song. But this song is their 'Masterpiece' in my opinion.

[@scottanderson2262]

In my opinion the Escape album and tour is Journey and Steve Perry at their absolute pinnacle! Escape is my desert island record no question! In the Escape era, the addition of Jonathan Cain really breathed new life into the group and elevated the already phenomenal song writing to an entirely different level! Don’t get me wrong, I adore the earlier stuff as well, but that album was amazing from front to back! And Steve’s voice had matured to have a richer tone with an added dimension without sacrificing any of his style or range, and his vocal runs are flawless and just off of the charts. This is why NOBODY sounds just like Steve Perry. He has such a soulful undercurrent that subtlety colors everything he sings with his unmistakable signature sound. Journey has found, and completely worn out, some very talented replacement singers, and they do sound similar enough for the band to continue without Steve, but true fans immediately hear where they fall short of the master. It’s one thing to just hit the notes, certainly no easy feat for mere mortals, but capturing the all important nuances has so far continued to prove an illusive quest. I actually saw Journey only a couple of months ago and sadly the magic is gone. The band, all 12 of them according to what was on the stage, appeared to be phoning it in and it really felt like there was zero heart or fire present in the performance. And poor Arnel is sadly on his last leg vocally. He visibly struggled the entire show and it appeared and felt very forced, even handing off several of the more vocally challenging songs including Mother, Father to other members. Not to take anything away from their phenomenal drummer Dean Castronovo who does an incredible job and probably could front the band arguably better than any of the other vocalists hired post Perry. But the heart and soul of the group was noticeably absent, it seems they are now just a corporation attempting to keep the brand alive. I feel they are tarnishing the legacy and that makes me sad.

[@pamlatham7032]

So well said I 16:35 had to read it a second time ! I too have tried to watch currant shows and get so sad. They just seem to be going thru the motions- no heart just memorized till it old hat for them and are up there for the money. So sad, but thankfully we have these to listen to. On a side note, what it must have been like to have all these choices with which to sing these songs- Steve was so spot on. This gift doesn’t come along often, if ever again. PG!

[@idalucero1260]

The key boardist Jonathan Cain has said in interviews that in the studio recording of "Mother Father" that Steve recorded it in one take! Its a beautifully challenging song and his vocals at the end in his upper registery tone was incredible! I recommend "Send Her My Love" you can feel the emotion from Steve, " I'll Be Alright With Out You", "When You Love a Woman", Lovin',Touchin'Squeezin' a Steve Perry original is a fun and beautiful song Live from the Escape tour in Houston 1981 just captures the energy between Steve, the band and the audience!

[@vernhoke7730]

I saw them on this tour, with the Greg Khin band, in May of '82 at the Brendan Byrne arena in East Rutherford, NJ. I've been a fan of Journey for about 50 years now back when Greg Rolle and Ainsley Dunbar were a part of the band. This concert has so many hits in it, Don't Stop Believing, Stone in Love, Open Arms and some of their older hits Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin', Anyway You Want It, Wheel in the Sky as well. I've had the pleasure of seeing 3 of the greatest voices in rock in my life Steve, Ann Wilson of Heart and, probably, the greatest Freddie Mercury.

[@Frostrazor]

[@deepwaters7242]

You are so lucky!!!!!! 🤩 Greg Rolle is one of the best that not many realize is behind so much good music, like Alan Parsons. I live in northern California and Journey and Santana were regulars, supposedly with Carlos and Steve buying houses in the hills here. Steve held me when I was a baby and many people I know have met him and Carlos. Awesome, lovely men by all accounts. They both have been referred to as "sweetheart". Have a beautiful evening and I enjoyed your comment, you are a very lucky person.

[@Frostrazor]

So there's a song called '7th son of a 7th Son" by Iron Maiden that speaks of this mythological folklore. I know you were recently turned on to some metal bands. Maiden is one of the greatest ever to do it - but also with a very melodic sound so it appeals to people (such as yourself) that likes metal but not the real horrible screaming that is found some genres of metal. 7th Son is one of my all time favs by Maiden and is an epic song from it's composition and lyrics. I highly suggest giving this one (and Maiden in general) a chance to tickle your new interests in pursuing some of the premiere heavy metal artists.

[@greglukasik9588]

Was stationed in Alameda California 1978-1981. In 78 or 79 I went to a day on the green, an all day concert at Oakland collisium. Never heard of Journey before that. They came on stage, the collisium was shaking with the fans going crazy. Been a fan ever since. Seen them at least 30 times during the 70's and 80s

[@jamesmcdonald5868]

This song hits very close to home with me. For the fact that my father was an alcoholic. And my mother just recently died, but she had many nervous. Breakdowns with abuse for my father. I had a sister who took her own life. In 1990 five, it is a song that's solely stricken with Christ. For help! It is in the perspective of the brother. That's why he talks about as he sings. She sits alone a mother's face. She wears not mother as in his own mother, but his sister, who took care of him when they were growing up, and she gave up her own life to protect her brother as. Her father died and her mother also died! You really have to look Deep into the song to get the True and full meaning of the aspect from where these lyrics have come from.

“The Voice”. No auto tune. No lip sync. No safety net. Just pure unadulterated talent on display.

You're right! Ridiculously ... it's just simply ridiculous how good this is. This performance was what it's all about, what everyone's trying to do - the "how to do it" of it all. I got to see them just a week prior to this performance when I was a senior in high school. Saw them Halloween night, 1981 in Mobile, Alabama. Yeah, man, good times. 1981 Represent! Ha ha.

Steve said this was the hardest song for him to do. But done in one take. Check out Dead or Alive from the same concert.
