Yes, he's actually doing this live. Lol, in 81 this would not even have been a question.

[@armadillotoe]

I miss the days when the music industry hired musicians instead of dancers, and musicians used talent instead of autotune.

[@88wildcat]

In other words you miss the days when the people in the music industry were fans of music first and money second instead of money first and music 312th.

[@brgilbert2]

@@88wildcat You certainly know more or realize more than most.

[@algallego]

@@brgilbert2 There used to be days when the music industry actually required artists to have some musical talent before signing them to a record deal!

[@brgilbert2]

@@algallego Yes, and those were the days when most all of the executives in the music industry were actual writers of music or musicians like Johnny Mercer who started RCA, at least I think it was Johnny Mercer.

Nothing compares to 80's music. Steve is a vocal God-pure talent👍

[@terrilabeth]

Steve Perry’s voice has been analyzed a whole lot, just like they analyzed Freddie Mercury’s voice. They are in agreement that he is pitch perfect. In the ranges he sings that cannot be easy. And they really do sound this good live. Thanks for the great reaction! 💗

[@doloreswitkowski5578]

Freddy Mercury was asked what it was like to have the greatest voice in Rock and Roll, and he said, to ask Steve Perry. Also, Mariah Carey also has total reverence for Steve Perry, as well. She and Freddy Mercury, would be the ones to know incredible vocals.

[@kimberlybrown7938]

His voice in Faithfully is breathtaking!

[@kwirishman]

The greatest live vocals of all time is Mother Father from this same show!

[@allensaunders449]

To each his own

[@davidolson2729]

Also from this concert, “The Party is Over” and “Stone in Love”. Really any song from this concert is performed perfectly. The band is at it’s best at this time.

[@pegajense]

For sure Mother Father is Great live I feel Steve got his energy from the Audience my Favorite is Sweet and simple

[@matthewgoodA1206]

That’s a legit point, because it’s been said that Steve himself considers it one of the hardest songs for him to sing.

[@scottdavidson9963]

💯

[@RenePatat-g2t]

One of the greatest vocalists without autotune. He's an enigma!

[@essten94]

Also no in ear

[@txtamaman]

My sound engineer was at this exact concert in Houston on this night... he said it was mind blowing to a level he is unable to explain. He saw them in 81, 83 and 86 ..

[@davidkeller6156]

They called him The Voice for good reason. My favorite of theirs and one of my all time favorite songs is Faithfully.

[@sherryarflin726]

It was always real back then. We had the best music, the musicians and the best talent. I know I saw it all. The sixties and seventies produced the best talent…it was no auto tune, just straight up talent. You either had it or you didn’t.

[@scubaspookryu]

Oh Yeah! The good ole days!!!!

[@sherryarflin726]

Yep, the only difference, we didn’t listen to it !

[@sherryarflin726]

Mudd, I have two children and not once did I ever complain about their choices in music….but they’re adults now and guess what their favorite music is??? The music we grew up on. Imagine my surprise when I found this out!! You are absolutely right though. I still believe our generation had the better music and talent. Having said that. There are plenty of artist today and over the yrs I like a lot. I truly hate jazz, heavy metal and rap though. Shocking I know!!!

[@bobr6245]

There's a reason why bands from the 70's and 80's still tour. They can sing live. Twice saw Journey in concert, with Steve Perry. They never disappointed!

[@BrianFast-n1h]

I believe his voice is about as pure and natural as you can get.

[@Not-a-GSD]

Brad Delp of Boston and Freddie Mercury certainly had well above average voices that sounded as good as the record when they were live.

[@gram5751]

Journey live is awesome. Steve is a vocal beast. Always a great front man for the band. In my opinion, strictly the best. 🎵🎶🎵

[@ackerjawaka1966]

Never got chance to see them live but would have loved to, Steve Perry took journey to the top with his amazing voice and showmanship ♠️ why oh why they got that new kid who sounds exactly like him but isn't ♠️

[@jonbauman457]

Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) is my favorite, but Mother Father from this concert is one of the best songs I've ever heard!

My husband was IN THE AUDIENCE for this concert in 1981. We have seen Journey 8 times together - with Arnel Pinada (the new lead singer) and he is awesome also! There is a DVD of this concert - you need to find it and watch it! It is AMAZING from start to finish! We've got the DVD and watch it every time we see it in the case. You feel like you were there!

[@kurtlamlein6054]

"Why Can't This Night Go On Forever" A must see video, even if you don't react to it. His vocals are untouchable in that video

[@dh2392]

Faithfully and Send Her My Love are my 2 favorite Journey songs.

[@terryduncan31]

They had to be good, they didn't have all the technology to help them cover up mistakes while doing live shows. Practice and dedication to their craft was super important back in the day.

[@Lori-xt2lf]

I usually don't like it when singers switch it up much live, but Steve has such control and intention that it sounds pleasant.

[@gordonbrown8883]

HI MAGGIE MY WIFE AND I WERE THERE THAT NIGHT IN 81 SUMMIT HOUSTON THE REASON MILLIONS HAVE SCENE THIS VIDEO WAS BECAUSE M T V DIDI THE WHOLE SHOW ( they told the whole crowd you’re being filmed ) before the start of the show, multi cameras multi sound pickups top notch production , the look and sound got highest rotation on M TV THANKS

"Lights" is my favorite Journey song. I love the warm harmony.

[@SusanFritz-v7i]

Feeling That Way/Lights is my favorite song bundle from this album. I live in Monticello Indiana.

[@jamesmchugo9422]

I’ve seen Journey, live and in person 5 times. Every show was pure energy. It was a high that stays with you all week. Lovin, Touchin and Squeezin, City of the Angels (which have to be played back to back every time!) probably top my list. Followed by Girl Can’t Help It. The full 5 part harmony at the end of that song is a killer!

[@johnheeser]

There is a reason he was called and known as the voice

[@kimberlybrown7938]

Saw Journey in person many times....his voice is... amazing... Listen to any Journey with Steve Perry.. you will never be disappointed..

I saw these guys in 1981 and 1983 at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin. Awesome music venue back then. Steve Perry to this day is on the top of the list of greatest vocalists of all time. Their live shows were like a dream for this teenager at the time.

[@TheRB3tv]

"Who's Cryin' Now" from this same show is amazing!!

[@JohnWarner-lu8rq]

"Mother Father" from this concert is also incredible, but all of the songs are great. I saw them live three times.

[@ovp66223]

My two favorites of Journey, Don't Stop Believin' AND Who's Crying Now. I really love both, the music and rhythm. I always play these in my car. Open Arms is awesome too. I think its the basslines in WCN and DSB that really get to me. Add deep bass with his silky vocals and it's a great dichotomy.

[@texas-raider]

Maggie, seeing you sing "Somewhere in the niiiiiiiiiiigh!" in duet with Steve Perry just made my weekend! God bless ya', sister!

[@TheDivayenta]

Steve is a natural bel canto singer in his flow and open vowels . Who’s Crying Now from this concert is also worth hearing. The entire show is incredible.

[@kalohaggard1729]

Everybody in the 80s loved Journey. All the Rock kids , all the new wave kids , country kids , etc... It might not have been cool to let people know it but I'll bet everyone had a cassette tape of theirs buried somewhere.

[@vaughnnewman8903]

An amazingly iconic, legendary voice paired with an amazing band. But more than that, Journey made you feel something like few other bands could; almost magical. Check out: The Party's Over, Still They Ride and don't forget Steve's solo work.

[@wickedwings7611]

I love hearing him hear, singing this live. He sounds so fantastic. I don't need "Journey" nowadays. I put it in quotes because they are not Journey without Steve to me.

[@susieq1565]

It's sad that Steve isn't with the band anymore. If things absolutely had to change, IMO, Arnel Pineda was a great choice. No one will ever match Steve's voice!

I saw them on this same tour. Flawless performance. There was no band worth their salt back then that did anything pre-recorded.

[@davidhodgins7122]

Steve has one of the best most powerful yet smooth voices of all time. Steve made Journey as great as they could ever be. This is a classic performance that is immortal. I can listen to this all day and it will never get old. One of the greatest songs ever made. Elvis was t entertainer and voice this world will ever see. Steve is up there with the he Greatest voices like Elvis, Freddie Mercury, Phil Collins and M.J. From eras when there was REAL TALENT!!!!!!!

[@joejawson5264]

I think my favorite song of them is Lights. Reminds me of seeing the Sun come up on Lake Michigan the morning after my high school graduation with friends.

[@AKJACKAL99709]

The drummer is very underrated and under-appreciated on this track. I was one of those that never gave this guy much credit, until I started to learn this song on drums to play in my cover band. Where most drummers in this era would play this more straight on the main groove and add big fills and accents where appropriate, this dude lays back and supports with a stealthy shuffle feel going on. If you listen close, he is using tom-toms throughout the groove, yet somehow it is not enough to call it a "tom groove". He manages to complement the main rhythm with the toms and give the percussion a faux half-time feel. It threw me off at first....not because it is difficult to play, but rather because it is far more busy than I thought. What helped me was when I realized that he was mimicking the other rhythm instruments on the toms. So he wasn't just keeping time, he was incorporating drums into the composition.

[@thomascerveny572]

It's hard to believe that the band in this video did not want Steve Perry as their lead vocalist when he was first hired. They didn't change him, he changed them and their direction. The rest is history!! Don't stop believing.....

Before Auto-tune, before lip-sync, there was TALENT!

Saw this tour in DC at the Capitol Center. They played mostly in arenas and hockey rinks for this tour. The stage was almost circular with only about a 60 degree wedge directly behind the drums blocked off. Steve would sing and move to all 300 degrees of the stage.

I got to meet Steve Perry and Neil Schon before the concert. We had just the album and that’s all before the concert. They smashed it!!! They came out for an encore and said, “we don’t know anymore songs….. they sang 2 songs again they had already done”. It was amazing!!!!

I saw Journey in 1986 and it was one of the best concerts that I have ever seen in my life and I have seen very many contcerts with very many kinds of bands from Jazz to rock to heavy metal to country to classical.

I've not been a huge Journey fan but I don't dislike them by any means. If I had to pick the Journey song that I like best it would probably be ANY WAY YOU WANT IT.

[@RustyHinge]

Steve never went up that high at the end of the song. That was a Glee arrangement, then Adam Lambert did it on American Idol. If you want to hear a perfect live song, listen to "Mother, Father" from this same show.

[@charlizeham1]

I LOVE 70/80s Journey with Steve Perry. Yes good hair 😁 Have a listen to Mother, Father from Live in Houston. Hi from Cape Town South Africa

[@scottyboy2400]

I seen them in Mobile, AL in 79 or was it 80? Halloween night! Sounded just as good as the Journey 8 track I had in the old Cutlass in the parking lot. Ok I know I'm just reminiscing. Oh how I wish I could go back to the age of 16 and do it all over again. Man would I do a few things differently.

[@kurtschafer3970]

I've seen them live 3 times.. Best live band as far as vocal performance I've ever seen!

Also the Live version of Feeling that Way is pretty amazing! To see the duet is something pretty special.

[@middleamerica646]

May I make a suggestion to review “Mother Father” live, same concert? You won’t regret it. Might be the best live vocal ever.

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

Anything Steve sang live was always amazing. Also, maybe you can react to Steve Perry's solo songs since he has 4 solo albums of his own.

"Send Her My Love" without question is my favorite! It's also the favorite of Journeys lead guitarist Neal Schon.

[@corazonyee7717]

My favorite journey/Steve Perry songs is the whole album Raised on radio .. I can't pick a single favorite song because all of their songs are great especially when performed live by Steve Perry only

[@jimspetdragons3737]

Going up high near the end was the guitar solo, not Steve Perry's voice (in the studio track) which Neil Schon did at the end of his solo (he had to alter the solo because that solo needs 3 guitars to make that harmony sound work). fyi.

[@rudybetta]

You have to hear "When You Love a Woman" to really appreciate his voice, it's operatic !

[@jeffreydeeds9225]

I have seen Journey live 12 times. They are one of very few bands who can sound almost exactly like their studio recordings. They consistently produced a fantastic live show. Journey iz one of my top 5 bands of all time. Even in 2018 they still sound this good. Steve Perry's vocals are on a different level of exceptionism.

[@Lori-xt2lf]
