Journey - I'm Cryin' (Live in Osaka 1980) HQ

[@1besieged]

If you watch Steve Perry's face especially at the end of the video, he is pouring every drop of his soul into his song, he is laying it on the line, he has the most heart & soul and talent of any singer on earth.

[@OhShari71]

I have no words...there will never be another with his talent and emotion.

[@sevengem]

Now this is real fucking music. This is what a band should be.

[@rokinrandy]

Journey was scary good live in person. Who could mess with em. Lol well Queen and the eagles were awesome live in person too back in 1980. That was a good year for rock and roll

[@diannemartin1350]

This performance should have been on Captured. Steve Perry is the Best Emotive Vocalist Ever!!!!!

[@randyhill4549]

Captured: Best live album in rock!

[@benniewilliams9613]

He sounds better every time I listen to this. Steve knew he was a bad ass.

[@dannymartinez9371]

Perry always sounded best in Japan. His voice got in best shape by the end of tours, when he was young.

[@tammyf.7864]

Yes he did, and yes he is!!!!!!!

[@jenniferhorstmann2279]

I sure hope so.

[@WRML778]

This concert should be released on DVD.. What a classic performance! 👍

[@briantaylor1391]

These were the years that his voice was truly angelic and ethereal, NO MIXING, NO AUTO TUNE... He started getting hoarse and a little strained on Frontiers, but still an Angel... Nobody did it better... NOBODY....

[@markleggett3944]

Correct. Management toured them to death, and his voice suffered as a result.

[@YaYaPaBla]

@@markleggett3944yes

[@LeslieSunshine17]

Steve Perry is a Vocal God. That is why he is The Voice. And remember this is a live performance! In 1980!

[@donnasomma8657]

Steve Perry best live vocals ever in rock.

You're so right! He's even BETTER LIVE - just AMAZING!

If you dont get chills listening to this masterpiece you ain't human!!

[@donnamccully1703]

Another incredible, epic performance by Journey. I absolutely love Neal Schon's iconic guitar work and Steve Perry's vocals are so gorgeous and angelic. He really commanded the stage with his amazing presence and knew how to connect with the audience with so much raw emotion, and he's also a beautiful man. love how he ended the song with the lip bite.

[@maryradloff1881]

This is the first time I've heard this song. Just when I thought Steve Perry had impressed me as deeply as he could, he did it AGAIN!!! What emotion! What vocal range! Steve Perry is the best singer ever!

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

Have a look at Winds of March off the studio album. Good reason I named my tribute after that song. Then look it up on Soundstage in Chicago. You'll see. Ain't seen nothin' yet :) oh, another one: "Little Girl" off the Japanese release "Dream After Dream" (movie soundtrack I think it was?)

[@kaczmar456]

I'm so touched by this. So emotional and powerful. Steve Perry - The Voice. The greatest male voice I've ever heard in my life.

[@cindyjones3504]

I must say, for all of the obvious difficulties in the filming of this song (which is gorgeous beyond belief), the close ups of Steve at the very end make it all worth the wait. What a truly beautiful man he is...my my my...

[@debbiepittman3577]

There is only one Steve Perry in this world. And no one can fill his shoes.

[@mckinziechapman1622]

Why do I fall in love with Steve Perry even more whenever I watch one of these Journey live videos? I'm so HOPELESSLY IN LOVE. Man, Steve Perry could really sing! His vocals are just amazing & out of this world.

[@lisajones224]

Ok-maybe the filming wasn't so great on a couple of these videos; but if not for him, we wouldn't be seeing any of this great footage-great concert! I also love how he took the time to learn something in their language and say it to them-class act all the way!

[@lisajones224]

Also-thank you ewerlord for letting us view them!

[@travissloan6864]

Next to Mother, Father: This has to be the best vocal performance of Steve Perry's Career. PERIOD.

[@loupblanc99]

Mother, Father....AWESOME SONG, and one of my favourites of Journey :D

[@shonnanae]

It's hard for me to pick a favorite song because I love them all, but that being said, I totally agree with you. Watching him live, sing; Mother, Father and I'm Cryin, the emotion he puts into them and then the vocals. Incredible!!

Just seeing him sing is a pleasure, he is so gorgeous , when he sings , the heaven's open...

[@benniewilliams9613]

sounds like a way down country blues, Steve has so much soul.

[@mckinziechapman1622]

I think that everyone was crying when Steve Perry left Journey.

[@angelicamartinezr.8965]

Yep 😢

[@goosewhisperer6275]

Yes, that was the end of Journey, for me. I only listen to or watch Journey, with Steve Perry as lead singer. I mean no disrespect to Arnel, and I've heard he really likes and respects Steve, but I just can't watch or listen to anybody else sing the songs Steve sang. Is it true they re-recorded a lot of songs Steve recorded with the band? If true, am I the only one who thinks that's weird?

[@claudiaoliveira8503]

I cry today !! Journey is not Journey without Steve

[@koaguilds]

I'm crying because the 80's are lonnnnnng gone.

[@mariongeisendorf9518]

@@goosewhisperer6275 ich auch 👍💯💖

[@sevengem]

I have yet to see any footage of any other Journey singer attempting this song (feel free to direct me toward any, though!), and I think there's good reason for that. Steve NAILED this song and I don't think anyone else could even come close.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

There are harder songs, tho... Winds of March, as per the album has a VERY long series of notes. It's NOT one breath, as shown, tho. Almost fell on my face trying to sing 27 beats on one breath. tho. La Do Da also has very high hard vocal at work. Mother, Father also has very high notes. I don't know if any of the other singers did/would do it. It's definitely young man under 30 territory (or a lady singer)

[@NeoGodHand]

@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 I've always wondered that. So, that long, ascending high note Steve does in the bridge of Winds of March is not one breath?

[@dontworrybehappy8080]

Exactly. 'Good Morning Girl' also. Anyone else would just butcher it.

[@amberrodriguez8303]

Haven’t seen it either ,Well they did try mother father but was cute but not moving lol they should lft it alone takes two people try sound like him Read in interview some can kinda sound like him and some can do little of other notes lol.

[@kenparsons7686]

This is one of those classic older Journey songs that they own completely. Good bands know when trying to cover something like this is just... naaah... not gonna happen!

[@markthatcher4853]

This song is insane awesome 👌 I don't know how this never made it on the radio stations across the country??

[@dupersuper6516]

You can like the famous songs and the obscure ones lmao

[@benniewilliams9613]

Have any journey lead singer other than Stevie even tried to sing I'm Crying??? I do believe that he is the only one.

[@nextwave1314]

This song requires a certain emotional believability that I think only SP could delivery. Wisely enough, others don't want to touch it. The comparison, rarely flatters anyone, anyway.

[@rubyb6602]

Omg, his voice still gives me chills...I had the chance to hear them live 3 times and everytime was just amazing.

[@tricia1114]

[@ldy1luk]

One of my favorite songs, vocals & guitar just perfectly compliment each other. There is just something about the Perry/Schon writing that sounds nothing like anything else, it's so prevalent on both the Evolution and Departure records.
