Steve Perry's voice truly is unmatched. Very pure and clear. Live and recording are the same; no edits required.

[@denislanza6228]

@Dr. Perl Junior I don't want to get into a vocal technique debate but they are not airy. It's easy to hear his vocal folds are making a good seal. No air escaping. This is from strong arytenoid muscles. He is singing in a connected head voice. It's open and relaxed, well supported and resonant. And yes, these skills can be developed with a lot of hard work and an excellent teacher who knows what he or she is doing. Many a person's voice has been ruined due to poor teachers.

[@davidsaid7666]

Steve Perry is the real reason why the Band known as Journey became as famous as they were back in the day .

[@katherinehall1967]

True. Before him, Journey was a fairly decent band of California hippies playing music, but they didn't really have real brand or a unique sound. Steve's voice catapulted them to heights they probably had never dreamed of. Someone found an old audio recording of the first time he sang for them. I think it was some beach festival. 🤔 Anyway, the crowd went nuts. I like Arnel Piñeda, I've got nothing against him, but when they got rid of Steve and replaced him with Arnel, who was a Journey tribute band singer -- sadly, they became their own tribute band. I don't even know if they wrote new music or not. All I ever heard them do is rehash songs that Steve made hits. 🤷🏻‍♀️ When Steve was no longer there, I stopped paying attention. Voice of an angel.

[@shirleyjohnson4187]

You said it brother and sister!! There is no journey like Steve Perry!! Never gonna be another. Arnel is okay but he ain't Steve. Period. Arnel is okay but he didn't make journey what is was back then. He could record new material but they haven't unless you count the movie with after all these years.... good movie and song but where are the other new songs. Non existent. So journey feeds off the songs of the past that Steve Perry sang. They are good songs. Love the but I desire for lots of new stuff.

[@sandrasillery4493]

I agree with all of you. I'd like to add that they feed off of a lot of songs that Steve wrote or co-wrote as well. Steve Perry did indeed take Journey to their height of fame. They are who they are today because of him, and they owe their success to him. Having said that, I want to say that Arnel Pineda is and always has been, one of Steve's biggest fans, and I am truly happy for his rags to riches story. Still, Journey is only Journey to me with Steve "The Voice" Perry! There are none who can match his voice and superb vocal talent. He is a rare form of counter tenor. A tenor-altino. At least in his younger years. Steve is now 75 years old. None of us at that age are the same as we were in our younger years , but he still sounds great to me.❤ Love me some Steve Perry!

[@sandrasillery4493]

I also want to add that Steve is the richest out of ALL of the band members. They made a sweet deal for him. And he will get those handsome checks until the day he dies. Good for you, Steve! You deserve it! ❤😊

Forty-one years later and this song still gives me goosebumps when I hear Perry do it live. I really wish they'd put out a Blu-ray of this concert--it's clearly one of the best rock performances ever caught on video. The sound is excellent, the image and color (they must've used film) are outstanding and could hold up to the UHD treatment. Plus, we'd get these word-class performances in 7.1 surround. I'd have my money down the second they announced the pre-orders.
