Lyrics:
He's just a young boy out of school hes very naughty
Living his world like he wants to
They're making laws, but they don't understand
Turns a boy in to a fighting man
They won't take me
They won't break me

I even respect music I dont like such as choir. Yet the younger crowd in general doesn't afford anything the same respect, simply dismissing it as old with no further explanation. Glenn Miller has been old my whole life but I like him. Like I said I dont like choir music but I can at least recognize it. What changed with "youth"? Again there are exceptions but in general.

I'm making another comment because I see that Journey is touring. I saw Journey in concert during the early mid 80s. I'm glad I saw them with Steve Perry. He is and was Journey; however all the band members complimented one an other. They were at the height of their career. I won't not see Journey in concert now. It's not Journey and i would feel cheated. There are so many classic rock stations that play all 80s music, many 80s bands still touring, and local bar bands that sing mostly or all 80s songs etc... The 80s was the best decade for music. It had the best bands, songs, concerts, live music in bars, song writers and even MTV. I am glad I got to experience this decade. To this day people will not let the songs of the 80,s die. Did you ever hear someone say let's go here to see this band; they will be performing all songs from the 2000 decade

[@danw1352]

This was an awesome time to enjoy concerts in the 80's, So many great bands touring with Journey being my favorite..loved this concert at the Summit in Houston

"The songs are timeless, and as a whole, they have a way of rekindling the innocence of youthful romance and the rebelliousness of growing up, built from heartfelt songwriting and sturdy musicianship."

[@samanthakim5035]

Yes.

[@samanthakim5035]

If was there, I would *LITERALLY SCREAM* my heart out

Steve Perry....The STAR MAKER of JOURNEY......History maker of music that we love over forty years later. The GOAT.....Journey was lucky to have him on their side. So much talent in that sexy body.....Thanks Steve ❤

My favorite track on Escape. I was 15 in 1981, so this really brings back some warm memories.

[@johnuruski651]

Man, im 58 and i completely agree…. This was Journey on top… Such great memories!! Glad you are with me brother…. Class of 84”……

This is my favorite Journey concert on YT! They truly rocked! Steve's mesmerizing voice just soared in every song! Love, love, love it!💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@velmajoynersuchabeautifulsong]

Hello, it's nice meeting you as well.

[@velmajoynersuchabeautifulsong]

@Steveperry- Yes, I am

[@velmajoynersuchabeautifulsong]

@Steveperry- I'm a fan of yours and Journey's music. You are the best singer ever. Your voice is loved by millions! You are a beautiful person on the inside with enduring qualities more than outside appearance. You're special Steve and we fans love you. Journey truly rocked with you!

[@velmajoynersuchabeautifulsong]

@Steveperry- Since you joined the band. You are the best singer that happened for them then and now, whether they want to admit it or not. I'm so glad there's UTube because I never got the opportunity to attend your concerts. I truly enjoy seeing you on the internet. You rock!

[@bobhope3716]

Everyone seeing today's version of Journey and hates those of us voicing criticism need to see this video.

[@tyronejefforeillyramirez7961]

Night and day!!

[@redsed1565]

This song will bring world piece if played all over the world daily!

[@uselessjoe]

NO DOUBT....100% ALL LIVE, when they performed it was an unmatched art form...

[@alizehmaristela6198]

The great steve perry!..The voice and handsome guy... The best band in 80's the JOURNEY!❤❤❤

[@jeffgillis7133]

I love that this is a band about to really break, wide open. They hadn’t reached the peak of their fame yet, but they’re cooking here. Steve Smith is one of rock’s great drummers. Unsung, but this bands rhythm section is tight AF.

[@janicemfe]

...THE Fab Five right here!...my, my...

[@reneeheknowsmyname6771]

I just can't tell you just how much THIS makes me smile!!! Classic Journey FOREVER!!!

[@reneeheknowsmyname6771]

@Steveperry- ....... faker!!!!!

[@reneeheknowsmyname6771]

@Steveperry- ..... you ARE NOT the REAL Steve Perry!!! I've been a Perry fan far too long, to know the REAL from the fake!! I'm on his all his social media pages. As soon as Perry started his social media, fakers like you came out of the woodwork! STOP PREYING ON PERRY'S FANS!!

[@TimDyck]

As a long time Journey fan I bought the album when it hit the record stores back in 1981. Side one was great and I thought it was on par with Journey's previous best work so I flipped to side 2 and...WOW this song just blew me away. Not sure what it is but I just have always loved listening to it ever since. Out of all their hits and all their great albums this is my favorite.

[@supercharger509]

Man they put it all together here....

[@paulsciarretta2531]

Such a great singer, but he was backed by extremely talented musicians. Ross's bass lines were awesome, Steve is one of the best drummers ever and Neal killed it with his riffs. The quality of their live music was as good as studio work. Steve Perry always made fans feel like he was glad you came, he put on a show for the fans and had fun doing it.

[@christhornton4410]

This version of the band is just incredible. This was Journey 2.0. What a kick ass band. Cains addition to the background vocals was great. Just listen to it. No backing tracks just a band kicking ass and everyone playing their ass off. And of course Steve singing in the treetops as usual. Fucking killer

[@summermcpherson8209]

Journey in a class of their own. Steve Perry is one of my biggest teenage idols.

[@doloresbloodworth565]

No words can tell how great this band is

[@user-ye7ci2rm7j]

Steve Perry has an incredibly outstanding voice.

[@batphink2655]

Amazing band and musicianship from all on board.I was honoured to see Steve on his solo Tour in Toronto .94 The man is incapable of signing a bad note! Technically the greatest singer I've seen!

[@philkakid5617]

This Journey Mk 2 was the absolutely best lineup they ever had. Perry, Schon, Valory, Cain, and Smith. Awesome blend! Perfection!

[@dianerendon8150]

EVERY SINGLE song that Steve belts out is PERFECTION!

[@billhoferjr9108]

Steve Perry by far the best vocalist that Journey has ever had,no one comes close.

[@wenceslaodelapena7000]

Still have goosebumps with his performance,Journey @ their best with him Reunion, Please!

[@rsumsixtyfo6766]

First concert for me (ever) was this same tour but in Dallas, TX. Bryan Adams started the show and Journey ended the show. The 80's were so great to grow up in... What a time period for music! 👍
