[@melodyszadkowski5256]

I would stand in line in the rain for 24 hours to hear this man sing live again. THANK YOU!

[@thesussexbunion]

He gives this song his all. You see him stagger slightly after he was done, and the extended instrumentals afterwards were to help him recover.

[@joancurrie6748]

Jonathan is giving Steve time to catch his breath, that song is the hardest one he ever does.

[@elvistattoo1964]

I saw Journey in 1983. Waited in line overnight for tickets and the show was jaw dropping amazing ❤

[@keithconnell8460]

Play Journey and folks start coming out the woodwork. Greatest band of all time IMHO.

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

You ain't kidding, Keith! It's like the Bat-Signal or something. 😂 But, no, they are a GREAT band. Such great music. - Mr. Swift

[@laurapokorny742]

That's why I'm here!!!!

[@changlyn100]

The Voice

[@garnet0101]

Keyboardist Johnathan Cain wrote Faithfully. My favorite Journey song.💚

[@PalomaBo]

Steve Perry, the most incredible and glorious voice rock ever!! In the best rock performance of all time!! ❤ Steve Perry + Journey = 🔥🔥 Greetings from Mexico.

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

Greetings to you! Thanks for commenting, we’ll definitely be coming back around to more Journey music. - Mr. Swift

[@PalomaBo]

@@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017 Yes, please, more of Steve Perry and Journey. Wise choice. 👏👏 Thanks. 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@loridanarandolph2648]

Lights and Stay A while played together, Live in Japan 1980.

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

Definitely gonna check out more of that show. - Mr. Swift

[@ronnielarrick7658]

Go back and listen to those angel notes at the end.

[@coachbigdawg41]

Listen to journey Still they ride live in Tokyo 1983 pure fire 🔥 😊

[@laurapokorny742]

Oh, YES!! Still They Ride is awesome!!!

[@garnet0101]

Steve was inspired to sing from his Mother, and hearing Sam Cooke’s Cupid on the car radio.

[@rhondawilkins2017]

My Uncle worked for A&M RECORDS,Hollywood from 1967-1999! I was blessed to be born in the 1st year as GEN X! I saw so much stuff at the music studios and was given access to go to concerts as a VIP from age 7 ! Stephen Ray Perry was given the greatest voice and diamond 💎 vocal cords by our creator,FATHER GOD. The man has left an incredible amount of vocals and footage from his time with “JOURNEY” 1977-1987 and 1995-1998. Steve was born in Hanford,California,the only child of Ray and Mary Perry. Birthday January 22,1949. Steve’s SUPERFANS of 1000 voted him “Greatest Rock Singer” ever through BILLBOARD in September,2023. He acknowledged the win 🏆 super humble as always. This man has spent 47+ years on planet 🌍 earth with the “greatest voice” ever. Nobody has been able to top his vocal capabilities.Steve Perry set the bar so high for “vocal music excellence” that nobody has been able to top him as of May,2024.

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

Thank you for the comment, Rhonda! 🙏🏾🙏🏽 Sounds like you heard some great music and concerts. Very cool experience! We’re definitely gonna be doing more. Who are some of A&M’s biggest artists you can think of? - Mr. Swift

[@hauoleguyify]

“Can you smell that?” About killed me. 😂

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

He was really feeling that funky piano, bro! 😂

[@laurapokorny742]

I would LOVE to see you react to their grammy nominated song, When You Love a Woman.

[@lissdonovan5745]

Love Journey!! Give "Girl can't help it " live a go. So good and from the 90's, there's a familiar face on the base. See if u can figure out who it is...

[@heatherkealoha4137]

Also react to "When You Love a Woman" and to Steve Perry's "I Stand Alone" and "Foolish Heart". Just too many to mention. Steve Perry -- his voice is just remarkable, amazing, the GOAT!!!

[@janicemichaelsedona1146]

You guy are adorable! Yes, this is a great song that Steve Perry sang in one take when they recorded it. The live version is just as perfect as the recorded one. Thank you for reviewing this wonderful song by Journey and delivered with vocal perfection by the iconic Steve Perry.

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

Thank you so much, Janice! 🙏🏾🙏🏽 We will do some more Journey in the future. Glad you enjoyed it. - Mr. Swift

[@troyhoaks5315]

Steve Perry gracefully dismounted the 🎤

[@user-iw5qr2su7d]

Gotta love this couple!!❤

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

Thanks so much for the love! We appreciate it. 🙏🏾🙏🏽

[@RustyHinge]

This. Is. Perfection.

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

🙏🏾🙏🏽 It’s really a great song!

[@Squidette18]

Love your reaction, anything off the first 3 albums is gold ! Try reacting to Sweet and Simple , People and Places to mention a few sleeper hits 👍🏻

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

Thank you, Deb! 🙏🏾🙏🏽 We’re definitely gonna check out more from them.

[@tomcat3769]

You may want to try and look at their famous song, Faithfully

[@lado6718]

Please review “When You Love a Woman”!! You two are fab!!

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

Thank you, LaDo! 🙏🏾 I will put this one in the list. - Mr. Swift

[@cden409]

1986 Philadelphia live. ‘ I’ll be alright without you’. Very great song and concert 🎶

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

Thank you for the suggestion, Denise. 🙏🏾🙏🏽 We're adding it to the list! - Mr. Swift

[@timherring8872]

You 2 are awesome!!

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

Thanks so much, Tim! 🙏🏾🙏🏽

[@beriben]

Experience "The Warning", a trio of sisters from Mexico. The Warning Army will show up. Start off with the song "Evolve" from the VMA's.

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

Thank you, beriben! We're going to add that to the list. - Mr. Swift

[@luisalbertocalla6649]

This is wonderful! The sound is very low! Greetings from Tandil, Argentina 🇦🇷💪🤗

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

Sorry about that, we were still getting our sound quality together in that one. Definitely working on our process. Thank you for the feedback, it helps us. 👍🏾 And wow, from Argentina! We’re honored, thanks for watching. Please stick around. - Mr. Swift

[@pegajense]

For some reason getting way to much base and buzzing on the audio I know the video is not like that??? I am glad you got to see it though! Thank you❤❤❤ Check out Wheel in the Sky live in Osaka Steve plays with that beautiful voice of his alongside Neal's guitar. Neal Schon lead guitarist is underrated, he started play with Santana at 16

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

Hi, pegajense! So sorry about the sound, will do better with that on the next one. Definitely gonna look at some more stuff from Journey. Thank you for sticking with us! 🙏🏾🙏🏽 - Mr. Swift

[@nicolettagarizio3419]

Steve Perry una voce unica!!

[@redSectorA]

This tour was my first concert when they hit the Chicago area! Great show, great band.

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

That had to be a great show to experience live. 👍🏾 - Mr. Swift

[@user-ts6xn5mq8q]

You mentioned "Separate Ways" and its video. If you aren't aware, the 'Official video' noted is actually a chopped-version of the tune; I HIGHLY recommend you listen to the full 5:27 version of you have not yet heard it... SO MUCH MORE to the tune.

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

Definitely going to add that one to the list, Ronald! Thanks for the suggestion. The longer mixes with more music are some of our favorites. 👊🏾 - Mr. Swift

[@jlevans8784]

I don't think there's a live concert video to react to, but I think you two would enjoy "Sweet and Simple" from Journey's "Evolution" album. I guarantee it will surprise you in a completely different way than "Mother, Father." 🙂

[@csphoenix9]

Please try Edge of The Blade, it's Rockin'

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

I’ll be adding that to the list. 👍🏾 - Mr. Swift

[@janicemichaelsedona1146]

Separate Ways was on the Frontiers album. The other songs are all from the Escape album and were performed live in Houston.. Please keep reviewing Journey. You may also want to review some of Steve Perry solo music: Street Talk,( 1984) For the Love of Strange Medicine ( 94/95) and Traces(2018).

[@pamjohnston7473]

Actually I think the LIVE is even better than the studio version!

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

Wow, now that’s saying something, Pam. Anytime people can do that, it’s definitely a special kind of talent. - Mr. Swift

[@stevengagner5901]

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

Thanks for the suggestion, Mike! 👊🏾 - Mr. Swift

[@TheColdrush22]

You missing the lyrics, heft, and heart of the song completely. Still subbed. Need to try to get it a little more.

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

We appreciate the sub. 🙏🏾🙏🏽 The song is about a broken home from what we felt in the lyrics and the way the song was performed vocally and musically. Give me your take. - Mr. Swift

[@joekoehn98]

You want some great journey songs? Hit me up, I'm a huge journey fan

[@troyhoaks5315]

If you do reaction to #TomMacDonald songs you're views will sky rocket 🚀 trust me friend 💞 also as a accomplished singer myself for over 45ys in my opinion Steve Perry is the greatest male singer of all times

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

Thanks for the suggestion, Troy! Sorry for the delay in response. And man, if Steve Perry isn't top 10 ever, then the list is flawed. 👊🏾 - Mr. Swift

[@segarcia65]

Great video. Work on your sound. It sounds like your in a shell.

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

Working on it, for sure. Still figuring out my tech and levels. I do appreciate the feedback. 👍🏾 - Mr. Swift

[@dlarp_6528]

Your audio is good but the song audio was too quiet

[@tedysurf]

Hello, react Gabriel Henrique - I Have Nothing (Cover Whitney Houston)❤

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

We’ll be adding that to the list. 👊🏾 - Mr. Swift

[@tedysurf]

❤❤❤❤❤@@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017

[@davidhumphries8239]

Listen too queen I will say he as good as Steve perry

[@ItsMrandMrsSwift2017]

Yeah, David, Freddie Mercury is definitely on that same list of awesome vocalists! - Mr. Swift

[@ChronicExcessiveManliness]

Steve Perry and Whitney Houston are the two greatest naturally born talented pop/rock/soul singers...period.
