HIS VOICE TRANSCENDS ALL OTHERS!! JOURNEY - OPEN ARMS (LIVE 1981 ESCAPE TOUR) REACTION

[@terrisalser7721]

No auto tune. Just his amazing voice

[@coralanne2464]

Many singers for Journey after Steve Perry. None can compare. Just as good live. Steve is the GOAT

[@danielstewart7163]

He's better live. Seen them a few times.

[@erinmontgomery4983]

Omg yes yes and yes.

[@brett2015]

Steve is def the GOAT but Arnel is reallllllllly f’ing good. My wife and I saw him live and he’s the closest thing you’ll ever hear next to Steve. But Steve just has that tone that sets him a step above.

[@Swordsfor200Alex]

Just two so that's not many. Steve Augeri was with the band for 7-8 years after Perry left in 1996. Then Arnel Pineda has been frontman ever since 2008. I was in high school when this was released and sang it too many a young lady in the back seat of my car while the cassette was playing.

[@ellenjones4523]

​@brett2015 Arnel is keeping journey alive for young & old so people can hear the greatest music ever SP&JOURNEY (SS RV ) CAN NOT be touched they well ALWAYS be the greatest ever.

[@thedudeabides7652]

Don't forget, this is LIVE!! No autotune, no effects. Just pure talent.

[@jazuluss]

The more you listen to music from back in the day, the more you will realize that today's music really can't compare.

[@karensamuel1139]

Facts!

[@shanettecaswell1877]

My husband and I fell in love dancing to this song 30 years ago. And the song still brings me to tears.

[@GMA_love_you]

The voice.. One of the best

[@eduEngineers]

This. This is the life of the people of a genre, a generation, that you are trying to understand. This is us. We love deeply.

[@dongracey343]

What makes it more amazing.....it's Live! ❤️

[@Niecy70]

That voice is just ridiculous. It's like it's not even human!❤

[@sunilayya8948]

Lionel richie said perry sang this song like a martian.

[@erinmontgomery4983]

Ikr!!! Have loved them for decades. No one compares.

[@conscious258]

Chilling and haunting 🥶

[@victorialw1]

Steve Perry has said that his voice didn't belong to him. He said that it belonged to the fans. He said that he wasn't able to do it in his living room, but needed the fans to bring it out of him.

[@karensamuel1139]

I like that 😊😊

[@erickadanforth4910]

That is wonderful! Glad to know it and how he recognized his gift as an actual gift. He's amazing

[@indianlayne]

Steve Perry is the standard by which all others are measured.

[@anneball683]

These two are babies. Not even born at that time. I'm glad I've enjoyed journey for 45 years. I was 15. And I got to hear him all these years. Glad you liked it

[@joelblankenbiller4353]

I saw Journey 3 times in 1981. WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL!

[@gram5751]

Faithfully, Who's Crying Now, Seperate Ways, Oh Sherrie. Any Steve Perry song is amazing.

[@sandralee8855]

I remember all these songs playing on a jukebox at a pool hall on a Friday night....miss those nights in my youth

[@erinmontgomery4983]

Yes!!

[@ChrisFish-k8y]

One of the great rock voices of all time

[@markvanderstelt8999]

[@davelampkins4086]

[@vernhoke7730]

Sitting in the audience and hearing Steve belt this out live was outstanding.

[@randycable3806]

It sure was. I saw this tour and Frontiers.

[@juliestogner2542]

For real...seen them three times and was frozen just taking in that voice

[@jillhickman542]

Totally agree!!! Best concert ever!! ❤

[@poguemom3]

I can’t even imagine!

[@karenlovejoy8141]

I will never forget seeing them live…nothing better!!

[@mikeleenlaurent9691]

[@rickservis2634]

The world will be blessed forever hearing Steve Perry's voice ❤❤

[@sunilayya8948]

This is the most sincere reaction to a song that i have seen.

[@robnsusan2000]

When music and talent were real

[@ScorpioKing1]

This video, is actually the first time the song was played in public. Awesome 😎❤❤❤❤

[@trudyatherton1743]

I wish I could have gone to see him but we all can still watch videos thankfully ! We all love Steve Perry !Legendary❤

[@janetellzey7701]

Heard jon cain say Steve bleeds alittle in every performance that's how much emotion he puts in every song

[@RyleighsMomma09]

I love love love Steve Perry🥰🥰🥰 his voice still gets me to this day.. I love y’all reaction too

[@angiesuarez773]

I just love watching you two. What a great couple you make. Bless you both 🙏✌️❤️

[@reneeheknowsmyname6771]

My brother was at this 1981 Houston concert! I went to the 1983 Frontiers concert, when Journey played 3 sold out shows. My best friend and I went to the 2nd and 3rd shows!!! And again in1986 for the Raised On Radio tour, (which nobody knew, it was going to be Steve's last tour with Journey), And then for Steve's very first solo tour in 1994!! I just love me some Steve Perry!!!

[@destinyreelly2974]

Y’all dropped so many truth bombs I don’t even know what to say. 😂 In summary, love is everything and Steve’s voice can turn a bummer day into a brighter one. ❤️❤️❤️🥰

[@hunteranime4793]

Been listening to this song since 1982 and still amazes me send shrivers to my whole body

[@queenv5989]

Mother father live is truly mind blowing. Steve Perry is my favorite male singer. You will never hear another angelic voice like his.

[@sassypatty2666]

So, so true!

[@j.s.8496]

Now.....keep this in mind,... this song was 42+ YEARS ago, when they performed this song!! It was LIVE !! Steve Perry's voice is unmatched !!

[@sandrasword7239]

His voice not only changed lives, but his songs also created many lives. So many babies born because of Journey.

[@0317redhair]

So powerful ❤❤❤❤magic called love yessssss

[@hubrisnaut]

I am from a musical family, Steve is a phenomenon seemingly from out of this world, who sings like this man, with such heart? damn...

[@davidcadle2077]

Flawless, goosebumps ❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🎼

[@edu456]

His voice, live at that, is absolutely incredible!

[@brendasusanchristensen7058]

Every Journey song when Steve Perry was their lead singer is EXCELLENT!! Please review more of their songs!!

[@NiamhCullen]

No one compares to Steve Perry. He turns a bad day into a beautiful day. I was at the 1983 Frontiers concert with Mom. It was my first concert. I was in love with Journey then. They have always been my favorite band. We were poor. But Mom saved up money to take me to see Journey twice, buy me a Journey satin Jacket, put me in the Journey fan club every year. My mom was the best mom in the whole world. She did everything to try and make my life a little bit better.

[@PatrickSimpson-nd3er]

Thank you for sharing that sweet heat, what a great memory!

[@ZebraDazzle66]

This is why Steve Perry is known as THE VOICE! You should listen to some of his last album in 2018. My favorite song from it ( and a great video) is We’re Still Here. You will ❤ it.

[@danpals7678]

I'm 62 and play that song every day.

[@guitarplayer4429]

If you haven’t heard it, Sweet and simple.

[@loribethjohnson5711]

Yes!!

[@uuduanewiley4656]

Glad we have something in common what a concept it's simperler than you think music !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stevefisher2121]

The best voice rock has ever known!!!!

[@maryanngarrimone1153]

This group was so awesome when they came out. Steve Perry's voice is unbelievable!!! One of the greatest! ❤❤❤

[@wendyhowe2178]

Steve Perry and his beautiful voice not only do you hear his voice...you feel his voice too. Been a huge fan for over 40 years. Journey will always be my favorite band. Enjoyed your reaction very much. Journey On.

[@johnmoser4672]

Only from the heart....powerful performance that just is overwhelming to hear❤🎶🎵

[@leslieholland7843]

I saw them on this tour, when I was a Sophomore in High School. Amazingly exciting and romantic. Please do yourselves a favor and watch the entire Houston 1981 live concert!

[@gloriasueb]

One of the greatest rock ballads of all time.

[@rescuelover7891]

Not only is he an amazing singer, but the emotion he puts into his voice is a real gift. Steve is Journey❤

[@lisaldeene]

That was beautiful, watching you both! Steve Perry is a rare musical gem. Taking you into the depths of love and emotion. He has a very special Gift!

[@kathyjaissle6791]

Steve Perry…The Voice. I’m so so so happy to see young people discovering Journey. They are amazing, and no other band can compare. Their lyrics, their music, and Steve’s voice! And he sings with so much emotion… There is just no other singer who can compare.

[@StevePerry-v3l]

Hello Kathy, how're you doing? Your comments caught my attention It's nice meeting you here.

[@shawncovert751]

The 80s were full of powerful ballads likes this one!

[@robinhatcher8021]

If that song doesn't make a couple grab on and hold each other tight, then that song isn't meant for them. They must be cold as ice. Loved you 2 holding others hands TIGHT! ❤ Love each other like no other, EVER! Love yalls reactions. Your so real. May God bless you always. ❤🎉

[@christinedonnelly8330]

It's so refreshing to see a man and woman have such a beautiful and healthy relationship. Your reactions brough tears to my eyes... so happy for you two... Shawn and Mel.

[@alexandredung]

Best voice ever!

[@craigblakes5499]

One of the greatest to ever do it. Its crazy how this legendary group doesnt have any Grammy's, snd were only nominated once for one. But they are where they deservedly belong, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Love this group

[@libbywelch1373]

Aww your Man's love for you shows, how sweet.

[@leslie8743]

The whole Houston concert was filmed and is so incredible. A must watch! Steve Perry is our GOAT by all of us who were teens in mid 1970s and 80s. ❤

[@anitaboyd1918]

One of my fav voices of all time.

[@dannyjarrell9625]

Drove Limo to this show. Ended up with backstage pass and got to see whole and in front. Damn good show.

[@mindfulbynature3418]

CHILLS every time!

[@proudarmymom8657]

My husband and I started dating in 1983 back in high school we’re now married 35 years and Open Arms was our song in high school and it is transcribed in our wedding rings!! We dated for about nine months I think before we broke up seeing each other off and on afterward but we’re broke up for about a year when we got back together and ended up staying together and this song just seemed to fit us which is why it’s my favorite Journey song and Steve Perry is my number one all-time male singer!!

[@SandraJones-py1bd]

Amazing in concert!

[@ShibaMomma143]

Who's Crying Now is another must hear! ❤️ you guys!

[@gingers.5933]

My favorite Journey song from my favorite male singer, "The Voice" Mr. Steve Perry. The emotion that he is able to convey in his live performances is another thing that stands him apart from the others.

[@kellyanneshereck1421]

I was there and I am 55. Bryan Adams opened for them and they took the stage and altered my life in so many wonderful places. True musicians are a dying breed and I love my 80s favorites!

[@jugglebugger]

Listen to Mother father live in Houston from the same concert. Vocals are out of this world!

[@warrenbrown6019]

Yep - was at that concert. Just the BEST!!!

[@marcieharreld286]

No wonder he's known as "The Voice"!!💕💕🎵🎼🎶🥁🎤🎙🎸🎹🔥🔥🔥

[@davidmandell1727]

You two are so cute together. When you took each other's hands, I got chills - especially since it was during this song. Stay strong you two. From a lonely old disabled veteran, living vicariously through other people's happiness. Don't ever take each other for granted. I'm going to watch this video again now. Thank you for posting.

[@carolbrown605]

❤❤❤ Another one of my faves. I love his voice. He's definitely one of a kind.

[@susanjackson4613]

Journeys live concert in the ‘80’s was AMAZING! Steve Perry’s voice is everlasting. I’m so happy y’all have the same reaction we had back then listening to him ❤️❤️

[@catdog71065]

It’s so good to see a younger generation appreciate this amazing MUSIC! Real music, not words of killing or hate but words of love. Thank you!!❤

[@80srocker67]

I’ve heard this song for 40 years and it still gets me every time. Absolutely Beautiful!!

[@SharonDoucette]

❤❤❤One of my favorite songs of all time. This transports me back to my high school days, riding the bus back to school from a track meet.

[@gram5751]

Steve is awesome! Thanks for your reaction 🎵🎶🎵

[@janedixon8491]

Gives me goosebumps ! Imagine oh my just natural

[@brendamisenogle5447]

I absolutely love your reactions!!!

[@maryjohanna257]

Steve Perry is the greatest on earth. I’m so happy I was there to grow up with him. ❤ 70’s & 80’s baby. Great one.

[@dreamaria9823]

I love you two. I can feel your passion and energy 💫☀️❤️ so beautiful 🌟

[@peggyparedez6770]

Right here!!! Seen them and others many times. Steve Perry's voice is breath taking live.

[@angelajones-4872]

I was born in 76. This is REAL MUSIC!

[@lauriehowerton759]

I love Steve Perry!!!! I danced to Open Arms in 1981

[@tkremarkTK]

So when you say, "The way he deliver!" you nailed it, Steve Perry was a huge fan of the great soul singer Sam Cooke. He wanted to pattern his vocal nuances and stage delivery just like him. And I think he nailed it!

[@sirkat344]

I was a senior in high school '81-'82. This album came out Sept. '81, just as school started. This song brings memories of a particular rainy evening. So vivid. Awesome, awesome song.

[@BrunoRodrigues-uq6xd]

you 2 are awesome.. my favorite youtubers

[@jacqueline4514]

1981 is my favorite year for music. I was 14 years old living in Brooklyn and we listened to so many genres; from Disco, R&B, Early Rap, Arena Rock, Soft Rock, it was a wonderful era. ❤

[@chrislockhart4068]

Steve Perry/W or without Journey is The Voice!! He could sing the phone book and make you tear up. What an amazing talent. There will never be another with his range and power. Also, I love you folks positive energy. Thank you!!!

[@User_gin_927untileternity]

There will never be as great a vocalist as Steve Perry !! 🥰✌🎶🎤🎧🎸

[@Eurynomea]

I was there. It was my senior year in high school. They’ve always been the best live performers I’ve ever seen.

[@rhondav4204]

❤❤ this song. It never gets old.

[@dvdknight1]

An amazing beautiful classic! I’m so glad you watched this version from 1981. One of the all time great songs and performances. Love you guys!

[@gary2kr1]

You still have many great songs to check out by Journey! 😊 If I can recommend one that doesn't get enough love it would be 'girl can't help it.' Thanx for all your reactions.

[@rebeccamassey7545]

Just love watching your reactions. Please do more Journey.

[@KarenMann-c9u]

i was there amazing!111111111111111

[@angelajames7917]

Chills and tears every single time. This band is the definition of massive talent. Unmatched vocals, instrumentals, lyrics, and arrangements in every song. I was so lucky to go to all of their concerts in DFW in the 70s and 80s. Live performances were perfection every time.

[@rustbeltwriter]

I love that you love this music just as much as I do. I slow danced to this at so many dances in middle and high school.

[@Sw1shahouseXXL]

Best singer ever

[@kimberlygrimm7007]

Steve "The Voice" Perry is THE GREATEST EVER!! There are lots are beautiful but there's Noone like Steve Perry! He is a pure natural! His voice is often imitated but NEVER DUPLICATED 😊❤

[@brianharbour3951]

Best vocalist of all time.

[@jesterforhire]

I was there! At the Seattle Center Coliseum. First concert ever! I was 12. Steve Perry the singer was my first crush. Named my cat Perry. It was an incredible show! ❤

[@ryanduffy5263]

You two are so cute! I love this song so much.
