First song of the concert. What an opener! High energy! Steve was a great front man!

[@Eurynomea]

I was at this concert at the Houston Summit. I was a senior in high school and had already seen them twice before. They put on THE BEST live performances of any band I've ever had the pleasure to see in person. And...I've seen a WHOLE lot of bands over the decades. High-energy perfection!

[@reneeheknowsmyname6771]

My brother was there as well!!!

[@Eurynomea]

@@reneeheknowsmyname6771 Ask your brother about what happened after concerts at The Summit, lol. Sort of an unwritten tradition back then.

[@reneeheknowsmyname6771]

@@Eurynomea ........ Oh boy!! I can only imagine...lol... I don't remember anything happening back then, when I started going to concerts at the Summit. I saw Journey twice in 1983, when they had 3 sold out shows. But I'll ask him and see what he says. I can't wait to hear what he says...lol...

[@Eurynomea]

@@reneeheknowsmyname6771 Most of the crowd would head out on Buffalo Speedway and then proceed to Westheimer and we'd "cruise" for about an hour then go get breakfast at Denny's on 59 & Buff, lol.

[@reneeheknowsmyname6771]

@@Eurynomea .... Oh how fun!! When I started going to concerts at the Summit, once the concert was over, we've head back home and then stop at Denny's or JoJo's!! Man those were the great times!!

[@melissaphillips3088]

What can one say that hasn’t been said about the great Steve Perry👏🏻 Absolutely amazing!!! This band together is perfection. Each member talented beyond words. Thanks Hap👏🏻 May I say more Journey please!!!

[@pegajense]

I love it when you react to Journey my favorite band and Steve Perry my favorite singer THANK YOU!

[@kathiesnavely7210]

You should really do a reaction to their song Lay it Down. It's a goodie.

[@jillmcilwain2633]

💕🎶💥 Released in 1981, this is the first album that included Jonathan Cain, replacing Gregg Rollie, in its lineup. The rest is history. I do love the Steve Smith drumming as well as Neal Schon, on lead guitar 🎸. Each gets to show the mastery of their craft, quite nicely. Of course, Steve Perry's voice is absolutely 💯. It is nice hearing some Journey again, on the channel. There are still a number of songs to be reacted to, in the catalogue. Anxious to get your take on them Hap. Thanks, as always for your enthusiastic reactions. Peace J ✌ ☮ 💕🦂

[@gram5751]

Reaction suggestion-Anyway You Want It live in Houston. Different vibe than the video. Definitely worth a view🙂

[@livinunlimited]

My friend, good vid reaction. The guitarist played for Santana at 14 years old. That's what we call a F`N phenom! Cheers from the west

[@gram5751]

So happy to see a new Journey reaction! You're the best!

[@lesliedaubert1411]

Steve makes sure he moves to the beat of the song. You can definitely see it in this concert. He also plays drums.

[@juliemilholin1557]

The Mother father performance is 🔥 📛 the piano solo and the impossible vocals are the best I've heard ever..

[@user-ts6xn5mq8q]

Another great live performance by them is "Girl Can't Help It (Official video)" from their 1986 Raised on Radio tour.

[@susananderson1495]

They are having so much fun. Love it.

[@deanadewall8400]

I saw them in concert in Seattle, late 70's. They were fantastic!

[@VUM.M]

After that powerful intro, they certainly caught the attention of the crowd. You said it and I thought the same thing with that drum insert. At first I thought he was off beat but instead he sped it up with extra beats - amazing, as was the guitar playing. It must have been a pleasure to attend this unique concert. Thank you Jill for another great suggestion of this tour and HAP for this enthusiastic reaction🥰🙋🏻‍♀.

[@RustyHinge]

That's his jazz background coming through.

[@VUM.M]

@@RustyHinge, whatever it is, it sounds amazing. Absolutely great musicians 🤩

[@jillmcilwain2633]

Thanks Uschi, you know I love me some Journey❤

[@wendyhowe2178]

This entire concert is a must watch! Steve’s energy is amazing! He’s running all over that stage and sounds fantastic live! They were in their prime here…massively popular selling out any arena they went to. Magical together!

[@vickiroman189]

And THAT'S how you kick off a show.

[@fabianaalba3268]

WOW my perry my legend baby absolutely amazing the Best The voice 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@denikennedy6675]

Always look forward to a Journey song for me they are all great!! Thanks for your awesome reaction, Hap!! 💜🎵 good choice, Jill! 👍

[@jillmcilwain2633]

@Deni Kennedy Can't go wrong with Journey😉 Thanks Deni! Hope you are doing well 🥰

[@tonyhao9344]

This song reminds me of blasting this cassette tape in my 74 Mustang on the way to & from high school in Hawaii early 80s to get me pumped up for sports. This became one of my favorite songs from Escape. I got into Journey because of Neal Schon their guitarist, who was playing for Carlos Santana when he was just 15 yrs old. I started to appreciate the rest of the band including Steve Perry.

[@dontworrybehappy8080]

I saw the Escape tour at the LA Forum. Loverboy opened up. We sat dead center on the floor about 25 rows back. I could have $**t myself it was so good.

[@katg6325]

Journey is one of my all time favorite bands! They have so many great songs. I was fortunate to see them in concert when Steve Perry was still singing with the band. Listen to their song, "Girl Can't Help It", but crank it when you do.

[@chaseharlann]

amazing performance

[@markhagerman1837]

The Escape album was an enormous success. IMO, it was the apex of Journey.

[@randallwong7196]

This may be an extra complicated song, with the last minute having Perry and the rest of the band with different lyrics.

[@vernhoke7730]

Saw them on this tour in 1982.

[@eringalle9630]

Why Can't this Night Go on forever and Troubled Child,

[@carolnewsome554]

A fun song from this album is Dead or Alive. The guys are just having a blast and are on fire.

[@snjezanasiklic8934]

When compared to other fantastic Journey's songs, for me there's just a bit of more melody, some firm structure missing in this one. And clear lyrics to hold on to (or it may be just the sound of live performance that muffled the words) Other than that, of course, Steve's unique, powerful voice and all musicians in the band always bring the best out of any song! They are the ones who at their worse would still sound so much better live than most of today's bands (with exceptions to the rule :-)

[@carrielaliberte3255]

Nice :) Hap, you always deliver the best reactions!:) God speed!

[@joymaxs2874]

Awesome performance!! They always surprise me more and more ❤ Thank you for your awesome reaction!

[@rebeccamassey7545]

Dead or Alive from this same concert. High energy.

[@RustyHinge]

How about the energy?! Steve's bouncing all over the stage and doesn't miss a note. My man, why isn't this group on your wall behind you? Take Queen down and put Journey up there!

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

wow...

[@fabianaalba3268]

Good lock in your chanel my dear 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@philquinton777]

When I saw this tour at the Forum in LA, the energy they put into it was the same if not more the second time I saw them, at the Forum several months later. Amazing. For me, they always sounded better live.

[@debra7105]

I enjoy your reactions to Journey Hap! You didnt see the part of the video where Steve almost got taken out by Ross Valory ( bass player) with the neck of his guitar. Luckily, Steve dunked his head just in time. Now, that wouldn't be a great start to a MTV show, taking out the PERRY. 😂 great reaction. CHEERS! P.s. it's "Who's Crying Now" .. you were close..😂

[@pegajense]

A Good one to check out is Journey Walks Like a Lady Live in Osaka

[@nanner3200]

Have to say I agree with what you said. (and when you have Steve Perry as your vocalist it's saying a lot) Vocals, to me, took 3rd in this song. Maybe 4th when you throw in the energy? Still a great Journey song!

[@abiedavidantillon4258]

A classic

[@reneeheknowsmyname6771]

My brother was at this concert. This is just one of my all-time favorite songs!!! I can totally listen to it on repeat!! This one and 'Message Of Love, The Party's Over and Ask The Lonely!' I'll never forget when this concert was aired on Mtv!! It was Mtv's very first live concert ever!! My best friend and I couldn't wait to get home from school and then wait another 4 or 5 hours for the concert to come on!...lol... If you haven't already, please react to some of the songs, I just listed!

[@sourgir-wh6xd]

😍💭 I don't think Journey could put out a bad song if they tried 🤘🏻🤓🤘🏻

[@lesliedaubert1411]

Cool version. I still prefer the original. Has a beat, guitar. This does miss a lot. But this is for younger generations probably. Glad that it is Steve Perry singing. He gets the final say in if a Journey and/or a Steve Perry solo song to be used. Like when they used " Don't Stop Believin" they needed all 3 approvals to use it in " The Sopranos " show. Jonathan, Neal gave the approval and only when it got the final approval from Steve they could use it.

[@katherandefy]

Massive talent Steve still is

[@patriciahopkins99]

Give a listen to John Denver “Calypso”

[@corazonyee7717]

Line of fire next

[@Faltor895]

Studio version is better.
