Journey | Stone In Love | Escape Tour 1981: Live In Houston | First Time Reaction

[@victorialw1]

Steve Perry said this song is inspired from an experience back in school. He was swimming in a river, and he saw a girl he knew from school. He said she was a little older than him and never gave him the time of day. She was wearing extremely short "blue jean" shorts that he said left very little to the imagination, which is where 'Blue Jean Girl' came from. She was blond and tanned, which is where 'Golden Girl' came from. He was laying on a large "stone" in the sun to warm up because the water was so cold. Which is where 'Stone in Love' came from. Steve has said that the line, "Golden girl, I'll keep you forever." is one of his favorite lines ever. He meant he would keep her forever in his memory.

[@vickiroman189]

Remember that time Steve was flat? Remember when he had to go into falsetto? Yeah, me neither. My favorite forever.

[@patricklarry6645]

He changed the key during some lyrics on this one.

Kings of the 70s Rock Ballad. Nobody sings better than Steve Perry & FZ kicked Neal Schon out of the Mother's of Invention for having a promising career & shouldn't be stuck behind Frank. Same for Steve Vai, Adrian Belew, & there are others. FZ was Unique and Special. Decades ahead of his time. 🎶🎧🔥✌️

one of the great concerts from the 80s.

Why can’t this night go on forever! Gives me chills every time.

[@lilpoohbear653]

"Complete unit is on point here"...you are correct sir!!!! That is Journey in their prime!!

[@lilpoohbear653]

and it was a live performance...almost unheard of now. This band worked their butts off to be this good

[@salvatorediangelo453]

People always make a big deal about Don’t Stop Believing but this song ROCKS!

[@tonidarcy9577]

Been following Journey for decades. Steve perry had the best voice ever. I'll be 60 this year and still love to see younger generations listen to great music. It's so sad they dont make music like they use too. You got a long journey ahead of you Hap for great music. I'll go along for the ride❤❤🎵🎶🎹🎤

[@montrelouisebohon-harris7023]

Yesss!! This song is probably my second favorite if I have to name one.. number one favorite is " separate ways Worlds Apart' for me. It's a beautiful rock love song.. I won't have to play any musical instruments vocal lessons as a kid and G's as far as American bands are concerned Journey without bands like Bon Jovi AC DC and even Van Halen. Many people might smack me for even mentioning that regarding Van Halen but until they got Sammy Hagar on both vocals, I didn't like the band that much. The musicians were fabulous and David Lee Roth was a fantastic front man but not a good voice.

[@sooner4now]

Harder to find modern bands at this level of musicality. I’m not talking style, just pure musicianship

[@SaverioP]

"Girl Can't Help It" is another really good one by Journey.

[@grobinson7507]

I forgot about this song. So good.

[@donellefeltham]

Journeys music is every bit as relevant today as it was back then. Yes Neil is that good, he was touring with Santana when he was 15 years old. Also the other guy playing the guitar on this is Jonathan Cane who is on keyboards usually but Neil gave him some lessons while they were on tour and I’ve got to say he’s not too shabby on the guitar either.🎼❤️🇦🇺❤️🇬🇧🕺🏻💃🎸☘️

[@donellefeltham]

Me again the guy on Drums is called Steve Smith, his nickname is Animal. The guy on Bass is Ross Valery.🎼❤️🇦🇺🕺🏻💃🎸☘️

[@Eurynomea]

Their concerts were perfection...and I was at this particular concert.

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Written by Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain + Neal Schon. There are some soul influences. Steve Perry listened to many Sam Cooke songs. They share the same birthday. Suggested next video: Girl Can't Help It. 🎹🎸

[@grobinson7507]

They have a AMAZING catalog of many many songs Lights Wheel in the Sky Open Arms Don’t Stop Believing Faithfully Separate Ways Any Way You Want It Who’s crying now. Steve Perry solo album Oh Sherrie

First time I heard this I was on K94, FM Radio station playing in the garage, as I was pumping gas for somebody at the Texaco Station on Indian River Rd. just off I-64. Amazing how we never forget some interactions we have with music.

[@Kevin_Lyon]

Freddie Mercury , Steve Perry , Paul Rodgers some groups get all the lead singer Luck !!!! GREAT VIDEO and reaction Hap !!!! 🤯🤯🤯😎.

[@tazzermania5079]

Late to the comments. I like it when the Bass in mentioned. Yes, Steve Perry IS "the voice." Yes, Neil Schon is one of the guitar greats. But, Ross Valory crushes the Bass. Put it this way, I like how Bass was in a lot of "dinosaur rock." I like when you "know the Bass is there." I like it when the Bass player makes the Lead Guitarist "earn his $." Journey's Bass player crushes it !!!

[@chrisr.2886]

Their best tour! Perry will always be Journey!

[@tanaforet8684]

Steve took over playing the “Whale” which is what the band referred to the huge red piano that was moved around and used for all their concerts. The keyboard player Jonathan Cain was playing rhythm guitar up front for this song. So happy to see you diving into some great Journey, there is so much more to discover. Just the Same Way is another great older Journey that showcases Steve’s amazing voice and also the original keyboard player Gregg Rollie. Looking forward to seeing some more great Journey reactions from the BEST reactor on KZbin friend! Enjoy♥️

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

aw thank you ! That is a might fine compliment there! :) Yes shall be exploring a few more tracks.

[@montrelouisebohon-harris7023]

Me too. I think somebody was upset because they were into Hap's CCR reactions. CCR is good but journey is better. That's like comparing Queen to U2.. totally different style of music and they're both good but one is really really a lot better than the other.

[@lilpoohbear653]

Steve plays drums, guitar and bass...great singer and musician

[@williamweiss6128]

Steve Perry gets the headlines but lead Guitarist Neal Schoen was great in his own right and tears this song up - he played with Santana in his teenage years

[@tonihagan6330]

Loving Touching Squeezing is a great song of early Journey ad well as City of the Angels.

[@eidetecker]

This show was recorded in Houston, TX on Nov 8, 1981. I saw them Halloween night in Mobile, Alabama just 8 days prior. They were all decked out in costumes except Steve, who was wearing exactly the same as here. It was a great time, as one would imagine. High school rocked back then, y'all.

[@rbodee]

Song of my high school years! Listen to it all the time.

[@grobinson7507]

I seen them on this tour in Milwaukee!! Steve Perry voice!!! Neal Schon is the lead guitarist, he is another amazing musician. These 80 rock bands are the best and I loved it all.

[@jillmcilwain2633]

WooHoo, so delighted to wake up and have a new Journey reaction to listen to!! And now they have a playlist too. Neal Schon is the lead guitarist 🎸, who played with Santana, before joining Journey and was a member of the band Bad English, along with the keyboardist Jonathan Cain 🎹. 💥💥. "Open Arms", "Lights", " Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin', Don't Stop Believin'" "Only the Young", and so, so many more are all classic Journey songs worth exploring. 🔥🔥🔥🎼🎵 Peace J.

[@SaverioP]

I think I read somewhere that Neal was only 16 years old when he played with Santana.

[@jillmcilwain2633]

Neil started with Santana in 1971 @ 17yo. Incredible guitarist.

[@montrelouisebohon-harris7023]

I know! I listen to Journey on KZbin all the time even though I was born in 1967 but Journey was big when I was growing up in the mid-to-late 70s and in the 1980s. They were touring with the new singer probably 10 or 15 years ago. Did guy actually looks very similar to Steve Perry but I think he's Filipino. "Arnel" is the guy's name and he's very very good.. Arnel sounds more like Steven Perry. Perry is still much better.. kind of like comparing Freddie Mercury to Adam Lambert._ I like Arnell with Journey better. Journey is my favorite American band and Queen my favorite British band try and try.. Adam Lambert has a fabulous job and he does the very best he can do with Queen.. he has definitely improved over the past five years or so.. I'm just spoiled because I'm a huge Freddie Mercury fan and when Queen was touring with Paul Rodgers,, I was a happy camper.. it's just personal preference

[@montrelouisebohon-harris7023]

I had no idea he played with Santana. He must have been a kid. Santana is awesome.. the song Santana did with a lead singer of another band The Summer of 1990 was absolutely incredible.. "Rob Thomas and Santana' SMOOTH" IS THE SONG

[@montrelouisebohon-harris7023]

@@jillmcilwain2633 see I knew he was a kid.. he was playing with Santana when he was young & then went on to play with another band and then Journey.

[@montrelouisebohon-harris7023]

Thanks Hap!!! Love this SONG!! I gave a couple of songs last week but I don't know if you ever saw my comment.. this is one of my favorites by them and I didn't even mention this song.. I was talkin about " separate ways Worlds Apart".. that is rock like this, but really really beautiful.. overly sensitive individuals Call it eerier or depressing.. " separate ways Worlds Apart" is just about love and the facts!! We can love people dearly but sometimes it just doesn't work and it can't. The song makes me think of high school sweethearts who break up sometimes when they go away to college because they can't keep in contact with one another. That's just life. Thank you for your reactions. you're playing journey and you're going to get a lot more requests from people. Watch out! You are our favorite KZbin Music Man, HAP!!

[@montrelouisebohon-harris7023]

Haha!! Yes that was hilarious. True! Their guitar player has been playing his whole life as well.._ damn he's been playing since he was a teenager ( in popular bands since he was about 16 or 17) the guitar players have something going on because the lead guitars always like to show off and do their loud solos.. Brian always did. John Paul Jones thought that John Deacon should use the heavier bass sounds. John Deacon didn't like the stick out as a sore thumb.. I'm sure it was all Freddie Mercury could do to get the guy to come out and sing.. John Paul Jones said that John Deacon was the youngest and one of the best bass players but he should play a heavier Bass. That wasn't Queen's Style. Songs like dragon attack, and another one bites the dust, and Under Pressure do have heavier Baselines. John Deacon favorite song was dragon attack and I don't even think he wrote it.. probably Freddie Mercury or Brian.

A little history, Steve Perry left the group to be a family man. How can you find someone to replace him? Saw Journey in concert, Lover boy was their start up band. LOVE this band. But to be fair, no one like QUEEN and Freddie Mercury. Steve left on his accord, Freddie left us...unfortunately, not by his accord
