This music, this song never gets old....

[@324cmac]

Steve Perry is one of the greatest rock singers of all time! So much emotion. He never does things the easy way.

[@Greg-io1ip]

LoL!!! Awww, how sweet. You his agent?

[@hwareing]

And he's of Portuguese origin which my Portuguese wife is always keen to point out !

Dont sleep on the drummer. One of the best poly-rhythm patterns ever.

[@reedwilson64GTO]

Quality music lives forever. BEAUTIFUL CREATURES "Ride" or "Going off"

[@MrLedotson]

The fact they only said Don't Stop Believing 3 times, but it sticks in your mind forever is incredible.!

[@michaelfried3123]

I've always loved the gritty feel to this song, the lyrics are awesome and Steve's delivery makes him one of history's greatest ever vocalists!

[@kennethbrown5164]

Shortly after the Sopranos used this song in their final episode... this Journey classic became the most downloaded song on the internet.

[@Freakdog66]

Hi guys. Retired drummer guy here. Steve Smith was an inspiration of mine when I was young. I got to meet him several times through a guy I used to study with out of Vegas in the 80s. It was such an honor at the time. He's still an incredible drummer.

[@marshabailey1121]

One of the greats.

[@redplanet9162]

Did you hear his work with Steps Ahead? Peter Erskine is on record but Smith is on live recordings

[@Freakdog66]

@@redplanet9162 I have not red. I am going to look them up right now if I can find them. Thank you. I can only wish in my career that I was as versatile and could have worked with as many important people as Steve. People don't realize how in demand he was. Amazing

[@BigC.]

There’s a reason these guys have sold so many millions of albums/CD’s etc., Starting in the 70’s when they were a little less commercial, leading up to the later version of the band, they have had an unbelievable ride. Steve Perry on lead vocals here. He brought them to the top of the mountain.

[@angelagraves865]

Journey's Wheel in the Sky is a great song.

[@SteveraymondPerry]

Hello Angela, how're you doing? Your comments caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you. Your fan love for me warms my heart, Thank you! It's nice meeting you here.

[@clasmaster1471]

It’s one of the greats for sure!

[@clifton8929]

Studio or Live, Steve Perry delivers the same amazing sound and range. His voice is legendary. Very talented musicians too.

[@rubentullenaar2934]

The song “Stone in Love” is also a huge banger. It has the best Guitar solo outro.

[@robertjohnson1681]

I can't hear this song anymore without expecting it to suddenly stop towards the end (as per The Sopranos: Final Episode) rather than slowly fade out like it does.

[@joescott8877]

yeah, that was genius, using this song and then ending it (the series and the song, that is) with "Don't stop"!

[@alpetrocelli4465]

This song returned to the charts in 2005 when the Chicago White Sox adopted it as their anthem en route to a World Series Championship! Don’t Stop Believing! ✌️❤️🎶

[@VinzClorthokeymasterofGozer]

We had a weekend season ticket plan we shared with a coworker that year. Good times and a heck of a year to get great seats.

[@johnlittle3430]

Oh, yeah, it was totally that and not the Sopranos!

[@TreeFrogWillow]

“ Lights “ is also a wonderful song and Steve Perry hits some incredible high notes .

[@darrenmaxwell1085]

They really were a great band! The vocals by Perry - exceptional, great hooks and melodies, and one of the best guitarists on the planet. I’m a big fan of their first 3 albums which weren’t very successful. But one of the songs that always blew me away was Faithfully. Great ballad but amazing writing and the way the song ends with Perry doing what he does and Neil Schon closing with an incredibly melodic speed solo intertwined with Perry’s vocal’s always blew me away. And I’m a heavier rock and roll blues guy and PROG. Their 1st 3 albums have blues, heavier rock and prog.

[@2869may]

"LOVIN TOUCHIN SQUEEZIN" and 2 songs played together "FEELIN THAT WAY/ANYTIME"...!

[@actuariallurker9650]

La and Che- you need to do the live performance of Journey doing “Who’s Crying Now” from their 1981 tour

[@trevortamboline279]

A perfect song.

[@jeCktHeReal]

I don't consider myself a fan of Journey, I never seek out their music but dang sometimes when youtube recommends one of their songs I find out that I not only know most of them from hearing them before but as you two said, paying attention to their music I end up taking a bow they really are one of the best ever

[@veadairavani5692]

Steve Perry has such range, and is one of the finest singers in rock. People may argue with me, but Journey is not the same without him. This song totally put the band on the map.

[@TheRagratus]

Just another example of the best period of rock music- late 70's/early 80's. NOTHING beats that time in music.

[@loisr3970]

3 out of 3 great cuts today ! Ahh Mr Perry that voice.... alot of great cuts.... faithfully, wheel in the sky, lovin touching squeezing😂 to name a few. Cheers

Gotta watch them do this live in Houston from 1981. It's so good that I prefer it now to the studio version.

[@Alewifes_Husband]

That's true!! An excellent live version -- great sound on the video and the performance is top-notch.

Huge, huge song for the generation born between the late 50s to early 70s. One of those songs where everybody knows the words and will sing along in so many situations

[@elizabethlozano9358]

The Voice does it again. As you listen to their catalog, you will hear the consistency of Steve Perry’s voice- live and studio versions. If you get a chance, check out his solo work after leaving Journey- specifically his song ‘Oh Sherrie’. Thanks for the reaction 🙏

[@michaelmckinney1409]

They were just as good live. They have many great songs. Faithfully is one of my favorites.

[@billfly2186]

Sam Cooke was Steve Perry's main inspiration. You can absolutely hear it on the song.

[@DilganURikisNuni]

The bass is my favorite part of this song.

[@chrissimon9879]

Steve Perry is one of the greatest singers of all time. When I listen to him you can hear the influence Sam Cooke had on him. Love it

[@m.gideonhoyle409]

The bassist is Ross Valory... He often favored that treble-heavy bass sound, and was one of the early adopters of the Steinberger headless bass.

[@disconsolatemoose6637]

The best Journey is "Feelin' That Way/Anytime." Studio version is great, so is The Midnight Special live version.

[@ronaldtucker1262]

All successful bands have two things in common no matter the genre. One an incredible lead singer, and two they also have a great band that often colludes to write interesting songs and perform superb music. So terrific lead singer and great band. It takes both to truly rise to the top of a highly competitive market.

Final scene of sopranos! Literally a rock anthem.

Judging from your playlist you guys are definitely major Zeppelin, Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, SRV, Allman Brothers, Elvis, ZZ Top and Stones fans. As your 61 year old lifelong Texan musician BIGGEST FAN, I truly can’t wait for y’all (putting y’all in there is serious) to react to The Black Crowes. They have lots and lots of commercially successful songs that are great but I want you to start with the song Seeing Things. This is my ultimate request for my favorite KZbin people. Ugly Doug out 😂

You should do a track for track of Infinity (1977) Steve Perry's debut with Journey and with original singer/keyboardist Gregg Rolie. Gregg was the original singer/keyboardist for Santana and Neil Schon joined for Santana III. They left and founded Journey.

[@cherylnelson4259]

Love Steve Perry's voice. I saw Journey live in Michigan right after their breakthrough album was released. Fantastic show and I still remember Steve's long black hair and red wrap around shirt and his black spandex pants. He looked and sounded incredible!! When the crowd was filing into the outdoor park (Freedom Hill), most of us were saying we never heard of Journey but the tickets were cheap and it was a beautiful summer night and most of us just decided to go. After the concert everyone couldn't stop saying what a great show it was. It was a great experience and I still remember it over 40 years later!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Like 👍 Number 765. Written by Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain and Neal Schon. JC on piano 🎹. NS on lead guitar 🎸. They wrote ✍ this song fast 🐆 This is the signature song of Journey 👍 Greg Rolie and Neal Schon quit Santana and founded Journey. JC was in The Babys, which had John Waite as the lead singer. But The Babys broke up in 1980. JC joined Journey as Greg Rolie retired. I did go far in the Atari video game 🎮 😖 Santana, Journey and I were born in San Francisco 🌉. I grew up with Steve Perry on lead vocals. 👨‍🎤 Produced by the late Mike Stone, RIP, and Kevin Elson, RIP. They produced Rock Springfield, Aerosmith and other rock legends 🙌 Suggested songs 🎵 1 Journey performs Message of Love 2 Bad English performs Straight to Your Heart 3 The Storm performs I've Got a Lot to Learn about Love

Fun fact: Steve had been sick for several days with a cold when the rest of the band recorded this. He came into the studio, still recovering, and recorded this in one take. If you listen to his vocals isolated, you can tell. Now, if he sounded THIS good with a cold, you know he was a superb singer when healthy. Perry was a beast...

Todays three reactions all have much in common but for me it’s the production. It’s impeccable on this music. And the thing is, from this era, you can probably find 20 more bands of equal production quality. Toto, Supertramp and Journey, a great lesson in how to do it the right way. Steve Perry, one of the GOATS. ✌️
