Journey - Who's Crying Now [FIRST TIME REACTION]

[@gram5751]

Mother Father live in Houston 1981. You won't be disappointed. 🎶

[@karenp5333]

agree!!!

[@thequieterubcomethemoreuhe1198]

Steve Perry is 'THE VOICE'! Every song by Journey is a beautiful journey! Enough said.

[@TheDivayenta]

Neil Schon is the most melodic guitarist along with Mark Knopfler in a completely different way. The beauty of Journey is how gorgeously all the talents blended and supported each other. ❤

[@michelecarson2360]

Best guitar solo ever!! Not a bunch of noise like some play, but a wonderful melody. Just perfect. Studio big dogs wanted the solo to fade and shorten, saying it was too long for radio play. But Steve took over and said no way could it be cut.

[@idalucero1260]

So many phenomenal songs. *When You Love a Woman *Why Can't This Night go on Forever *Still They Ride *The Girl Can't Help it *Stay With Me Awhile *Wheel In The Sky *Send Her My Love *Stone in Love These are all just a beginning, the don't have a bad song, and you won't just hear Steve Perry's voice, you'll feel it, I promise!

[@mitzimoore3068]

True

[@larryratterree6358]

Best Singer Ever!!!!!❤

[@reneeheknowsmyname6771]

I'm so glad that you enjoyed this amazing song. You have Steve Perry, the lead singer to thank for Neal Schon's (like the name Sean) guitar solo!! Before the Escape album was released, the producers told Journey that they needed to 'SHORTEN' Neal's solo, for radio play!! Steve wasn't having any of it!! They went back and forth and argued over the solo. Steve told them that if 'the radio stations want to shorten the solo for the next song, that was fine with him. BUT WE ARE NOT GOING TO SHORTEN IT!!!' Thus, you have this amazing guitar solo!! Steve Perry is such a 'Great Showman!' No matter where you sit, he makes you feel as if you were the ONLY FAN there!! My brother was at this concert. Over the years I have been forever grateful to have seen Journey for their 1983 Frontiers tour twice, when they played for 3 sold our shows in Houston, Tx. My best friend and I were at 2 of the sold-out shows. I also got to see them for their 1986 Raised On Radio tour and Steve Perry's solo tour in 1994!! If you truly enjoyed this song, then you'll be blown away by 'Mother Father' performance, from the same concert!!

[@luisalbertocalla6649]

Great reaction! You have to know that Journey sounds the same or better live than in the studio! Keep reacting to this show in Houston from 1981, it's fantastic! Greetings from Tandil, Argentina! 🇦🇷🤗

[@maryhuhnke4706]

There are certain songs that should NEVER be duplicated...This is one of them.❤

[@lindakoschwitz7098]

Neal plays that guitar the way Steve sings..outstanding!!

[@rayjackson6917]

You HAVE to do "Still They Ride Live from Tokyo 83!!!! I mean.....WOW!!! 🔥

[@ericschneider118]

Yeah the solo at the end is on the studio version as well.

[@briandours8786]

You have to react to the song “Mother, Father” by Journey. It’s the same 1981 concert in Houston, TX. Steve Perry sings every last bit of all of his talent in this one. Your ears won’t believe it

[@robertwalker1803]

“ Don’t Stop Believin” is the most downloaded song of all time…

[@Btay-e7g]

Lovin, Touchin, Squeezin, Lights, and Wheel in the Sky!!!! Steve Perry's soul is in all of his songs. One of the best of all time!

[@Squidette18]

Sweet and simple is one sleeper song , Mother father is another must hear!

[@briandours8786]

Who’s Cryin Now is the same live in concert as the record

[@Barbie8051]

I'm happy you are hearing great music now... Every song, every album...

[@kathyjaissle6791]

One of my favorite songs from my all time favorite band!!! And Neal Schon’s guitar solo in this song is also one of my favorites. Check out their song Send Her My Love. Perry sings with so much emotion that you believe every word is coming straight from his heart. Send Her My Love makes me cry every time I hear it. My #1 favorite song by Journey. Anyway, I love your reaction to this song and Schon’s solo!!!!! Perry and Schon are absolute gold!!! BTW, the solo is also in the studio recording but it’s slightly longer in this live performance. Just incredible

[@coralanne2464]

Steve Perry is the GOAT. To see them in concert was amazing.

[@Sohum]

I am JEALOUS

[@ravenzyblack]

@@Sohum- He is literally known as “The Voice.”

[@keithconnell8460]

I don't know Stephen, but Stephen knows what's up. Good call. Greatest band ever!

[@marykay3489]

Journey is a one of a kind band. I saw them live 1981 in Pittsburgh PA. Loved every minute of it!! Mother,Father live form same concert is a must.🔥❤️

[@dawgsndiamonds910]

Hello!!!!!🎶♥️😁 You asked for more Journey recommendations😊-YYEEAAHH I know ‘Don’t Stop Believin’’ is everywhere😅, but watching #StevePerry/#Journey perform that LIVE (Houston 1981) is absolutely magical😊, as is EVERYTHING they do😁 AND ‘Mother, Father’, LIVE Houston 1981-you will be stunned🤗🎶😊

[@K9WATCHER]

I never thought Neal Schon, the guitarist, ever got the recognition he deserved!! So many great ones, but so was he!!

[@stricknine8623]

I'm really thankful and impressed with the reaction and the descriptive commentary of the guitar solo.

[@pampam9590]

Love this group, one of my favorites growing up!…..one of the others you MUST listen to is The Bee Gees…the vocal range of them is off the charts!

[@michelecarson2360]

Check out Open Arms, and every other song in this concert. It is absolutely amazing!!

[@JacquiBergenGleason]

"The Girl Can't Help It" is vocally breathtaking. Yeah, they love their keys since the keyboard player writes the songs. Of course, the guitar solo was commercially shortened for radio play. THX FOR DOING THIS SONG 💫💛💫

[@stevengagner5901]

Journey had either songs from there Concert Live in Houston 1981, Songs like "Stone in Love " Girl Can't Help it " Open Arms " Mother Father " Escape " these are really great Songs.

[@carmenwise2256]

The Voice. Only Steve Perry can sing this good live. And shout out to Neal. My favorite guitar solo of all time.

[@yesorlando05]

I saw Journey on this very concert tour in October 1981 in Charlotte with my then-girlfriend. I was 16 at the time. The 70's/80's was an incredible time period to be young. The music was great. Love was great. Relationships with people were closer. People were happier. I'm so blessed I got to live it and have these wonderful memories. Great reaction.

[@fabianaalba3268]

Oregenality absolutely amazing man of journey perry forever The Golden voice legend perry anymore 💖💖❤️💕💕💕💕❤️

[@CJBW]

No. They’re in love&together, but fight all the time “ Fighting is worth the love they say”. “ Now you can’t say your love will never die” They’re never in the same place. One loving. The other not. Vicious circle. Best guitar solo ever((actually a duet) live version of Hotel California. Have you done any from Heart? (Wilson sisters) She’s got pipes also!!

[@njt7117]

Great reaction. Journey is amazing and you should check out Open Arms live at same concert and video for Separate Ways. Also check out the band Kansas and Carry on Wayward Son and Dust in the Wind

[@renelpatat]

Should you desire to hear Steve Perry’s range and vocal control, react to “Wheel in the Sky” when Steve Perry wails with the guitarist, Neal Shon, is doing his guitar solo. Gotta watch it live though or you’ll miss it! This is a “can’t miss” band! The’70’s and ‘80’s were awesome years for phenomenal music. Auto tone wasn’t used, either they were talented or they weren’t! These guys were amazing when Steve Perry was with them. Perry stepped away and has multiple solo albums, all platinum or diamond winners. That’s as high as it gets! The only two original band members were Steve Perry and Neal Shon. Neal Shon was with Carlos Santa years prior to this so Shon was schooled by one of the greatest guitarist ever. The pianist is a very well, professionally trained pianist and, although I’m not fond of him personally, I, as a classically trained pianist and composer, respect his capabilities! I also play a good bit of Journey’s music for the piano. You’d love most of their music and they’re as good live, if not better, than the tunes recorded!

[@gailfoster8972]

Boston. Listen to all Boston!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@andersgranstrom7128]

Great thing though, to discover the best rockband ever!!😍😍😍

[@CarolineDelavault-k1y]

Neil Schon is amazing in this and yes it's the same as the record. He was in Santana before Journey .

[@mitzimoore3068]

They were very particular about the songs they wrote and the words.

[@Litation101]

Congratulations ! After this song you are another kind of human !! ❤ great vidéo

[@carminajimenez7060]

Wheel in the Sky live from Tokio with Steve Perry as vocalist is great since you have reacted to some of the best already.

[@silvialopes2623]

🎉🎉🎉 Thank God I was 20years old back then 😊 Real lyrics, real musicians, and the real amazing voice of Steve Perry. It's hard to listen to new music nowadays. I prefer to listen to the old ones and rediscovering them.🎉🎉🎉 Nice job, young man! Keep digging the treasures of the past and you'll amplify your musical knowledge.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Hugs from Brasil

[@garytackett8426]

Listen to Sam Cooke and hear Steve's inspiration for his amazing vocal skills

[@Chief2112]

Listen to Stone in Love from the same show. Some of my favorite guitar work. Neil Schon’s choices are always perfect.

[@brandonseyfried1251]

Neal was making that thing talk. And, yes......most of that guitar solo is on the studio track. Neal added about 8 measures in the middle, but that's it.

[@TheDivayenta]

Steve is a countertenor. ❤

[@Sharon-bo2se]

Check out Journey on Midnight Special April 1978. Steve Perry finished with Journey with "When You Love a Woman." What you see these days with Journey is a cover band. We were lucky to have super musicians and singers back in the days before autotune and pitch correction plus all the other stuff these days. It's not that there are no good performers but they are lost in the nature of the industry now. Perry was a tenor altino with ridiculous range and breath control. Neal Schon, an extraordinary guitarist, started with Santana at 15. Steve "Machine gun " Smith is a top fusion drummer. Jonathan Cain keyboard etc and Ross Valory bass, were all remarkable talents. I've seen people analyze Perry's range and pitch and they just say it's not worth the bother because it actually dulls the voice.

[@mitzimoore3068]

That was my era of music too and we had it made. You never heard a bad song back then; just thought that's how it was supposed to be. Not anymore!

[@GlóriaPayne-g4u]

Fantastic

[@Sohum]

Yes!

[@StevesFunhouse]

Yes, to answer your question, the studio version solo is pretty much the same, minus the very rapid parts, so you SHOULD try to learn it. Every guitarist needs to learn Neil's solos ... they're just that good. You can learn a LOT from them. Mind you, especially on some of the pre-Steve Perry stuff (yes, there was life BEFORE Steve Perry ... and a damn good one ... Look for the Look To The Future album ... stunning), Neil is blisteringly fast as the group was mostly a fusion band, and instead of Steve Perry, they had Gregg Rolie (the keyboardist) as lead singer. Neil and Gregg came from Santana, and Gregg was also the lead singer there and is the sound you might be used to if you ever heard them. I LOVED the Look To The Future album.

[@jorgebrahim1565]

Steve Perry the best Malé voice ever no doubt about MR STEVE PERRY this group never be the same with out him

[@melissameyer9981]

Great band❤😊

[@vincechampion3031]

Check out Mother Father live in Houston 1981. It’s amazing

[@swanketees]

The years of "free love" left broken hearts. Conquest and submission. Loving the lust, hoping for love. Not wanting to give the heart away to fast. Fear of heart break. That's what I got.

[@ChristinaR23]

My boyfriend took me to see journey I didn't know who they were I was 15 I'm a stickler for hitting the notes correctly and all that is so important to my ears I was terrified when the band started Steve Perry started singing I was transfixed

[@mariedelgado1613]

There is only one Steve Perry the voice nobody else sounds like him 👍💯

[@gailsimmons5270]

All of Journey’s music is good and so is Steve Perry’s solo music. You will never ever again see another voice like Steve Perry again. The only person in modern music that I can say can somewhat hold that same title is Taylor Swift. Tay Tay is the next best thing of today!

[@ChristinaR23]

If you really like harmonies and vocals you should check out one of our Canadian bands great big Sea live doing River driver

[@marshabailey1121]

Don't feel badly about missing out. I am old enough to have enjoyed the 80s but didnt discover the amazingness of Steve Perry until a few years ago. He is truly the GOAT. Steve is a counter tenor, buut what is amazing is that his tone is the same from the bottom of his range to the very top. That is incredibly rare and what sets him apart. Plus his vibrato and phrasing are incredible. He wrote this song driving inhis car between LA and San Francisco.

[@melodyszadkowski5256]

Don't leave out Ross Vallory on bass and Steve Smith on drums in your praises!

[@Sohum]

They all deserve the praise!

[@russwr4946]

checkin in ...

[@lorigurney7280]

Steve Perry and Neal Schon were awesome together! Mother Father from the same concert is amazing! Lights/ Stay Awhile 1980 Live Osaka Is another great performance 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Wheel in the Sky, Why Can't this Night Go On Forever, Walks Like a Lady, Lovin Touchin Squeezin, the list goes on and on. Journeys music is most uplifting!! Neal Schon has some great solo projects Beyond the Thunder.

[@B0110-x3d]

Gotta do ‘shine on you crazy diamond’ parts 1-5 by pink Floyd. It’s a guitarists wet dream

[@mitzimoore3068]

If you love Love songs, listen to Faithfully & When you Love a Woman. Those will get ya and they were GREAT!!

Unfortunately the live version is nothing like the studio version. Also check out the video “Girl Can’t help it” it features one of the original American Idol judges Randy Jackson playing the base guitar. He was a member of Journey in the 80’s
