Loving You Is Easy - Journey | The Midnight Special

[@NatáliaKSilva-z8k]

na minha opinião é uma dás maiores bandas de rock dos anos 70 e é até hoje o journey e etc. /hoje segunda-feira 15 de abril de 2024 / /dia: segunda:feira / /15/04/2024 /

Journey with Gregg Rollie. The best!!

[@truckermikemct1]

To my knowledge, Journey has never performed Gregg Rollie songs in concert since he left the band. Please correct me if I am wrong.

[@juaniraderalamag]

This is my favorite version of Journey

[@mr.roaddogwade7107]

Thank you Midnight Special. All these episodes belong in a museum. 👏🏼🕺🏻🎶❤️

[@kad2537]

No one today can match this live. No auto tune. Just pure raw talent.

[@drhoo2053]

This performance is lip-synced.

Steve Smith pulling out the stick-twirling chops - Rock 'n Roll!

[@patmayer7222]

Can't deny,,.....Journey was at the top,,...so good,.......epic.

[@pejaguilar30]

Great singer. Great band. Thank you The Midnight Special.

[@MarkWoodChannel]

This is epic for me in so many ways, I saw them twice over the next 2 years after this. One note for this performance is a shout-out to whatever nerd rocked that wireless mic for Perry. It sounds amazing.

[@Sincopare]

Steve Smith is a monster on drums. Incredible groove master. Always cool in the pocket. I took my girlfriend to see them in 1980 and bought tickets behind the band just to watch him. What a classy move 😆

[@amcaesar]

It just looks like it flows effortlessly from their fingertips.

[@Mr._Mints]

In this case, it flows effortlessly from the tape that they’re miming to. 😂 That being said, surely in the actual venue they were really playing live. So why does the TV broadcast use a recording, instead of the actual live performance??

[@traceymicolucci1151]

It would be great if a major tv network would rerun Midnight Special shows during primetime.

[@debbiemassey3608]

And Don Kirshner's Rock concert!

[@BlackHatCinephile]

Ferk major tv networks. I'd rather watch it on KZbin.

[@jamespalmer7811]

My favorite lineup of Journey., great song and sound.!

[@rebeccawagner4167]

Ty,Midnight Special, for having amazing groups like Journey on. It really made my weekend. Ilooked forward to watching this show. This a blast from the past for sure.

[@DavidDeDios-q8x]

Me sorprende gratamente este tema....empieza con mucha simplicidad....cómo que no será nada del otro mundo. Hasta que llegan al 00:28 y se empieza a transformar en una obra de arte tanto en lo instrumental como en lo vocal. Amo esta canción!!!.

[@fhwolthuis]

Amazing performance, those were the days! 👌🏼

[@that70sgirl90]

He is his own show.... "The Voice." Happy Tuesday... thank you for sharing! 💖

[@janicetrimmell6897]

Journey was unbelievable and the effects were great. Thank you.

[@Loneman1]

Epic in such quality.........please post all of their performances from that episode!

[@CyregO]

Hi Loneman, I'm looking forward to the rest of the songs played that night too! I see they already have their next video private in their Journey playlist...

[@Jeffrey.Seelman]

Perfect condition. Thanks Midnight.

[@StephanieJeanne]

I was never a huge Journey fan, though everyone I went ro school with was. I did like some of their hits, though, and there's no denying Steve's talent. Thanks, TMS.

[@gregoryduncan3067]

Is it because you weren't into the heavier bands? Journey was "heavy" music in those days.

[@StephanieJeanne]

@@gregoryduncan3067 No, not that. I liked Queen and Led Zeppelin, among others. Like I said, I liked their hits, I just didn't go out and buy their albums. I don't know your age so I don't know what bands you were into at that time. Are you old enough to have been into Journey, or did you discover them later?

[@gregoryduncan3067]

@@StephanieJeanne I'm 47. It's hard for me to think somebody wouldn't like Journey stuff. Even their non-hits were pretty damn good. Their Evolution album was great, I think. I was into them in the 80s.

[@gregoryduncan3067]

@@StephanieJeanne The thing is too is that you weren't familiar with their non-hits material. In those days, you had to pay ACTUAL MONEY for music.

[@gregoryduncan3067]

@@StephanieJeanne Just like you had to pay ACTUAL MONEY for high quality footage of the Midnight Special.

My Favorite Line Up of this band

[@crlaw75]

Steve Perry IS the voice of Journey.

[@rhondawilkins_]

Steve Perry's REAL FANS voted him the "GREATEST ROCK VOCALIST" ever through Billboard in September, 2023.Steve acknowledged the Win 🏆 with his usual humble self!

[@Absaalookemensch]

Midnight Special always delivers. I'm not a fan this song, but I'll take songs like this along with the great ones. Thank you for posting.

[@billymac72]

Great deeper track from this album!! Didn’t know they performed it on this show. Awesome! Although, I have to say that I think this is, unfortunately, a canned performance. All the overdubs and layered backup vocals from the studio recording are here as well as the fade. Midnight Special was overwhelmingly live, and Journey has been live in other clips I’ve seen, so not sure what happened.

[@metalbubba666]

I came to the comment section to see if anyone else thought the same thing. This is not a live performance.

[@migueleduardoescalante5381]

From The Album: Evolution (1979)

[@JohnnyGarcia-u2m]

Midnight special were recording live

[@artbell259]

Quality performance * I think this song had some 'sweetening' much like the live KISS albums, for broadcast * extra vocal layers added

[@callielucas1197]

It's just straight off the album and they are lip-synching and playing along with the album version. That happened a lot in those days, and everyone knew and accepted this type of fake performance. It wasn't the same as live concerts that use a backup track and pretend they aren't. I don't know why they didn't do it live like they did in 1978 on the Midnight Special, especially since later in this 1979 show, they did a live Jam Session with Journey with Herbie Hancock and many others, with a song called Roadrunner. That can be found on YT by searching for it. That's one of my very favorite performances ever, especially for Steve Perry's incredible rhythm blues funk style singing and improv, as well as the hand jive people surrounding him in front of the stage. Very 70's, and shows off the real talent of the Journey members outside of there usual style. Just search for Journey Roadrunner Midnight Special 1979. I'm going to go watch that now.

[@artbell259]

@@callielucas1197 I have not heard the studio version in ages, so maybe I got fooled. Good fakery by Steve Perry since it may he's up well. I notice the drums are being played very gently which is a huge sign of fakery.

[@artbell259]

@@callielucas1197 one counter point, no copyright claim was made by journey to grab this video's earnings. Perhaps the TV show's audience noise and some effects were enough to claim full rights, or the band was not as strong as David Bowie at the US Festival - who refused to release video song rights to the promoter

Never noticed the similarity between this and She's A Beauty by The Tubes.

[@StephanieJeanne]

Huh, that's interesting. I wasn't familiar with this song, but I can see what you mean.

[@The_Cyberz]

Timothy Chalemet would be a good Steve Perry if they ever make a Journey Biopic

[@teddygawaran8869]

must put in a time capsule and to be open after on 2123

Did the Tubes "She's a Beauty" rip this song' off?

May 18, 1979 to be precise.

During the Evolution tour in 1979. Opening acts were New England (debut album) and AC/DC (Highway to Hell album).

what a voice! and, the pants, the nike cortez, their hair, afro, steve looks like a hot chick, so much here..

Why can I hear hand clapping more than the drums?

[@oldbk4281]

This is lip sync’d to the recording. Disappointing, but Neal & Steve Perry did a live jam at the end of this show.

[@zkxe]

Where's Waldo ? Oh, there he is !

[@ronarmitagejr8758]

Arnel is just as good. IMHO

[@chaseharlann]

why did they lip sync this performance and the other songs from this year?

[@gregoryduncan3067]

I don't think it was lip synced. I think Journey is just a really tight band.
