First time hearing Faithfully by Journey

What memories does this song bring up with you? Journey's Faithfully is such an iconic song and was part of the soundtrack of our lives. Every school dance, every high school party or just cruising with friends had this song play a large part of our collective memory. Alexis only knows one song from Journey and no surprise, it's Don't Stop Believin. As I say in the video, it's awesome and depressing that she hasn't heard it before. This was a very fun to do and there are many more to come from Journey.

"The Voice" Steve Perry. Often Imitated, Never duplicated. Once in a generation talent.

[@flickeringboxofficial]

That tone and pitch, along with a great band and awesome writing.... so ridiculous.

[@jeffstarkey7726]

Steve Perry is topped only by Freddie Mercury

[@MetalMcfly]

@@jeffstarkey7726 Freddie was a different kind of singer. He was very theatrical and by no means am I disregarding him. My above comment stands on the talent of Steve alone. If this video presented Freddie, he would get the same treatment. There is no competition. Two totally different types of singers.

[@robertg7396]

Ya gotta give props to Neal Schon too. The fact this amazing guitarist is never even mentioned as one of the greatest is criminal. I mean I get that theres Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray, Eric Clapton etc, but to me, Neal is so underrated, and would definitely rank high in my top ten. The guy can absolutely shred! 🤘😎🎸

[@tld5150]

Came here to say this too. So many incredible solos that are often so fast and still melodic

[@jbockman4170]

Neal Schon was definitely underrated. He got his first break playing in Santana because Gregg Rollie was playing keyboards for Santana. I read an article years ago that said one of the songs on the Infinity album called Winds of March had Neal Schon's father arrange the strings on it. It's pretty awesome.

[@adamrasmussen1839]

What's crazy is Neal founded Journey.

[@garylagstrom3864]

I saw Journey on the Escape tour in 81 and Frontiers which this is the first song on the album in 83! Steve Perry has immaculate vocals and a very powerful voice depending on the song! To me it’s not Journey without Steve Perry on vocals!

[@RKDriver]

Saw the Frontiers tour and it was amazing how good they were night after night. Perry poured his heart and soul into his vocals for every concert and they sounded as good live as the albums.

[@Retromolarman]

Sorry, but Separate Ways is the first song on the Frontiers album. Faithfully is the 5th song. What a great album though! I was in my early 20s when those 2 albums were out. Great memories!

I love Journey and this song. It is so cool watching Alexis being introduced to all of these great bands. I have a 20 year old daughter who is big into music and loves a lot of the bands I grew up with. I started introducing all three of my kids to 70's and 80's music at a young age. It was just such an epic time for music. As Bob Seger would say..."today's music ain't got the same soul." If you continue down the road of Journey, I think Alexis would really like Open Arms too. Keep up the great music!
