STEVE IS GOD|Journey - Who’s Crying Now (Escape Tour 1981: Live In Houston)(REACTION!!!)

[@dawnbinns7430]

Love to you bro❣✌ You react so great ❣

[@willislester]

My favorite band since I was 13 his music solo also has gotten me through some hard times

[@MrBarbjhix]

Open Arms has been a fav of mine forever, as a teen I fell in love listening to Steve's golden voice. BTW his nickname is The Voice. You asked if anyone sang better than him...no. But I think the 3 great voices of the last 50 years are David Bowie(dead), Queen's Freddy Mercury(dead) and Steve Perry. I really love Open Arms, it's like mana for my soul but there is another, When a Man Loves a Woman, that makes me melt....he voice is undescribable. It really moves me that a new generation is becoming fans of a voice I fell in love with 40 years ago. I was 13, MTV had not even been on TV a year when this band came on singing about a Wheel in the Sky. One dude had an afro, they all looked a bit strange but the lead singer...... Oh my! Had to ask my bro, who's 14yrs older, what band had a Black guitar player, with a big Afro (to my 13 year old sheltered eyes) a long hair lead, singing about a Wheel. Oh, man, I heard about that one for years.... That the afro was a white guy and the band was Journey. But I was in love with Steve Perry's voice and it sounds just as awesome today as it did 40 years ago.

[@sylvialopez5928]

React to open arms live in Houston as well as mother father a must

[@alexandredung]

Agreed

[@yvonnemendez3075]

That's cause he's the voice 🎉❤

[@dianerendon8150]

There is no better singer than The Voice. He's The GOAT

[@brandonseyfried1251]

When Neal Schon starts a guitar solo, an arena gets built around him. A cool part of the concert is how even Steve is in awe of Neal wailing during the solo.

[@ROG958]

NOBODY IS BETTER

[@tomcat3769]

No one is better than the voice that’s what they call him

[@emerichagens3707]

The answer is NO One is better than Steve Perry everyone knows that Bro!

[@lisagraham2944]

Journey does an excellent job live. Not many can pull this off. He loves his fans and they love him . I have always been a fan of him. My friend you have great taste in music. Keep bringing the hits.

[@Karat9780]

That’s right!

[@JorgeBrahim]

Steve perry the GOAT

[@lesliebeacom4567]

Steve's voice is so perfect! Frankly, the voice of a generation, IMHO. Once you've heard it, you never forget it!

[@BeckeyBoydGooden]

Steve is THE VOICE! Always in all ways! Saw him 3 times in late 70’s-early 80’s in Houston. Was at THIS concert. It was magical!!!!! I didn’t realize just how blessed and magical it really was until just recently. Steve just helped create the stranger things trailer music. He just got in the Library of Congress recordings for Don’t Stop Believing! Abd now we’re pushing for a Medal of Honor. Kennedy Centers honors. Go to the Kennedy Center page. Scroll all the way. Nominate Steve Perry for his musical contributions that made ge stations come together!

[@markpriest5064]

Steve Perry is the only front man to produce studio quality sound at a live concert! This is live bro!!!

[@markpriest5064]

Do a reaction to "I'll be alright without you" and "Send her my love" by Journey. I don't think you have done those yet. Their greatest hits album has been on the billboard top 200 for 552 weeks and sells over 500,000 copies every year since it was released in 1988.

[@katfitzgerald1842]

Everything they do is magical...nobody better then Journey❤

[@MarvinSwaney]

I would say Steve Perry as well as Robert Plant

[@ChefBarb58]

LOVE MY JOURNEY ALSO THERE ARE OTHER GREAT ARTIST WAY Back THEN EVEN ELVIS WAS THE FRONT MAN. IN YHE MIDDLE FIFTIES IT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN TO MUCH TODAY.❤❤❤

[@hookinwidhutch3795]

[@lisagraham2944]

Steve Perry what a romantic guy.

[@ciarahall5402]

[@stormatsunup]

Got that right, Trudy ~ Had to come back and check this amazing performance out ~ Mad vocals YEAH and LIVE!

[@elizabethgari4909]

Steve's voice is an instrument in and of itself

[@dirks6550]

That is why they call him (Steve Perry) the Voice!

[@maryjohanna257]

No one is better. The Voice Steve Perry ❤

[@mattiehart8960]

Steve Perry is EPIC!!! ♥️

[@jayjonasen3325]

Absolutely LOVE Steve Perry's voice,been bumping his music for 4 decades❤❤❤

[@nitedrive2956]

Man, I was lucky enough to see these dudes on this very tour. I was just a kid and my dad took me, God rest his soul (today is his birthday). First concert. Awesome. Steve Perry is one of the greatest singers ever. He was on fire that night. Cool to see young dudes like you appreciating it.

[@jennifercheek8317]

Lucky you 😮

[@annemjohnson9956]

Steve has such a unique voice and such a true heart he makes u feel every word he's singing

[@maryannvaldez7694]

Steve is Amazing!!! Mother Father Live in Houston there are no words!!!

[@Frosty-cz4vr]

No one is better than him at singing. Just to answer your question. Many very good singers through out time ....but none better.

[@behindenemylines9033]

His guitar playing solos always compliment Steve’s vocals nicely

[@cathyhall1350]

The golden voice of Steve Perry! I saw them on the Escape tour and he never missed a high note! Every song perfect! ✌️💙🎼🎸

[@kimconroy9535]

I am so damn jealous of you. Of course if I went I would've either pissed my pants or had a heart attack.

[@MrBarbjhix]

Yep, I saw them in Vegas when I was 16 on the Escape tour in 1984. I had nosebleed seats that I had to stand on my seat arms to see the show but he was freaking awesome. Saw him again here in Vegas when he went solo in 1994 during For the Love of Strange Medicine tour. I went by myself, got a seat 5 rows from the stage. He sang a lot of Journey songs and I was in heaven. Side note, Brian Adams opened for Journey in 1984, he acted like a complete jackass and I've never liked him or his music since.

[@cathyhall1350]

b hix what did Bryan Adams do? Lol

[@joeyjameson1227]

Neil is one of the best guitar players of all time. Hands down.

[@TheDivayenta]

Definitely the most melodic!

[@mtlizard3695]

Something about their music, and Steve's voice, releases endorphins in the brain and makes you feel really good. So good!

[@janicebarnes2914]

NOBODY is better than Steve Perry, NOBODY!!!

[@ciarahall5402]

Ron Isley

[@ciarahall5402]

Ron is the best we ever seen give him his props.

[@ciarahall5402]

I am singer Ronald Isley what's the best

[@changlyn100]

Steve will always be the "Voice"

[@lindabergman3127]

Absolutely right! Just as Whitney Houston will always be the female voice❤❤❤❤

[@reneeheknowsmyname6771]

A short story behind the song Who's Cryin' Now! When the album was done, the record company told the band that Neal's guitar solo was too long. And that they needed to shorten it. Steve Perry got mad at them, and told them they weren't going to shorten it! The company told them that they needed to shorten it because, it was too long for radio play! Steve told them that if the radio stations wants to shorten it going into another song, that was fine with him. BUT they weren't going to shorten the solo. Steve said that there were words that were exchanged between him and the record company. Steve fought long and hard to keep Neal's guitar solo intact! Thus you have this amazing guitar solo!! 1981 was a great year for Journey. Journey was in their prime for the Escape tour (Who's Cryin' Now came from that album). That album took them places that they thought, they would never see! There's just something special about this 1981 Houston, Tx concert! I'ts special, magical, perfect and the list goes on! If you haven't already from this concert. React to Mother Father, Open Arms, Lights/Stay Awhile, Wheel In The Sky and the song Escape!! Great songs and even more perfect performances!!

[@leslieholland7843]

One of the great things about Journey is that they are all so talented that in concerts they sounded just as fantastic. Saw them 3 nights in a row, some of the best nights of my life.

[@sabrinahoffart6527]

I love that you found Journey!!! I can't imagine never hearing them!! It makes me smile to see how much you love his voice ❤!!!😁

[@chaoticazan6363]

I love watching your face. As soon as Steve starts singing, you start grinning. That's when you know you have a timeless artist! Have you tried Mother, Father yet? If not, there's a little surprise at the end!! ( Neil Schon ranked up there with Eddie Van Halen and Steven Vai in the 80s. They were called guitar gods or rock gods.Either way you get the meaning. God I miss the 80s!! lol)

[@billsmusic4944]

Think about it people, can any band perform live without auto tune to even half this degree today? I think you know the answer.

[@patriciaellis4848]

NO!!

[@debortahwelch9298]

Saw them in concert. His voice was awesome throughout the whole concert. The Band was just awesome. Steve has one of the best voices!

[@sfbaydennis]

He sings so effortlessly and I am sure many of his peers envied him because of his vocal talents!

[@lindabergman3127]

Yep

[@luisalbertocalla6649]

Fabuloso!!! ❤❤❤

[@MoonChild-1994]

Steve got his inspiration to sing listening to Sam Cooke growing up! Now he can SANG!

[@tyrarenae3486]

Really? That's what's up✌

Please react to "foolish heart", by Steve Perry. Steve Perry is the lead singer from the band Journey. Thank you nephew. ❤

[@tigerwilliams7723]

Anything from Journey's 1981 Houston tour is fire. "Mother, Father" is exceptional...the notes Steve Perry hits at the end of that song will amaze you 👏🏽

[@dianerendon8150]

No one on this planet comes close. Steve is the real deal

[@elizabethgari4909]

Journey "Send zher My Love " is one you'll die for.

[@janicebarnes2914]

The Best of All Time, Steve Perry! React to Mother Father Houston live ‘81. Unbelievable!

[@Samuel-I]

Steve is the penultimate singer of his era. You have to do MOTHER FATHER live in Houston. It'll knock your socks off.. His control isn't human.

[@DanJackson1977]

If Steve is the Penultimate, who's the Ultimate? Oh yeah.. I guess its Ronnie James Dio 🤘

[@Samuel-I]

@@DanJackson1977 You got me. It was a horrible use of an adjective. It had been a long day. I'll leave it, for context, so anyone else won't be confused as to what you're talking about were I to change it. I'll own that one. And, yes... RJD is probably the Ultimate. Never be another one like that.

[@TheDivayenta]

@@Samuel-I I think you meant “ ultimate” and I couldn’t agree more! Perhaps of all time, IMO.

[@Samuel-I]

@@TheDivayenta Yes.. it was a verbiage goof on my part. I just left it up and owned it instead of trying to scrub it from existence. I can take it.

[@audreyhutchison8159]

whos crying now? the guitar is crying, wailing, weeping . . man!

[@tcconnection]

His voice just moves me

[@Cookies_crumbs]

If you plan on reacting to a live performance of “Open Arms,” it should be from this same 1981 Houston concert. That particular concert was filmed by MTV (when MTV actually meant ‘music’ tv, and the band was on fire that night.

[@mandarinlearner]

If you want to hear Steve sing his heart out as a solo you've just gotta hear "Open Arms"

[@genapevoto862]

Send her my love live is awesome....

[@Kirkunik1]

Please do Lights. Steve Perry one of the most iconic voices in rock.

[@VeronicaJ1959]

Send Her My Love

[@kellyanderson7624]

You just witnessed greatness. One the the GREATEST vocalists of all time. He was nicknamed "the voice." For good reason.

[@Triumph-nz8pt]

I have Journeys greatest hits CD in my truck right now and I've had it for years. Nobody is better than Steve Perry and he's just as good if not better (as he ad libs a lot) than the recording. You can do as many of these songs better yet this entire concert any time you want to and I will be here! :)

[@lab81harley]

You should also check out Steve Perry’s solo stuff. There are so many great songs by them. You will love why can’t this night go on forever.

[@lanamartin9107]

Neal Schon one of my favorite guitarists, and yes he ripped it up! 😉

[@ZsaZsa2222]

Ripped it.

[@quinny6920]

You don’t hear his name brought up a lot BUT IT SHOUOD BE!!

[@kimconroy9535]

In the mid to late 90's I had to stay at a hotel in San Fran. My room had a view out onto the Golden Gate Bridge. My roommate was at dinner. I turned off the lights in the hotel room to look out the window and "When the Lights Go Down in the City" started playing on the radio I thought I was gonna faint. This is a true story.

[@jennhurl]

Your smile + Steve "The Voice" = A great reaction!! 🙂 You asked who is a better singer... Well, its a matter of opinion but Freddie Mercury of Queen is world class. Two of my favorite male vocalists. 🔥

[@neptunedawn7121]

Steve Perry is a better live vocalist than Freddie--Roger Taylor had to sing Freddie's high notes live when Freddie's nodules began hurting him. Freddie was a great frontman and showman.

[@kellyanderson7624]

Freddie's voice was more opera, Steve is Steve lol. Two of the greatest of all time.

[@kilroygirl7347]

Your face on the guitar solos. Priceless!

[@jmcquown]

I love your reaction! Yes, we see! I grew up with this music and those vocals. Amazing and I'm so glad you're discovering it. :)

[@jorgebrahim1565]

Steve Perry the best Malé voice ever no doubt about

[@michaelsteiner7588]

Even the singers of today who are considered to be great don't seem to be able to do anything without Auto-Tune. This is all natural Talent right here. I saw them live in 1986. Consummate performer!

[@Triumph-nz8pt]

The guitarist Neal Schon is always on point, he is fantastic, never misses and his smile is genuine. Check him out on faithfully, fantastic. I love watching bands that are happy when they perform together and on this tour they showcase it perfectly with Steve on keyboards at the end to let Neal do his stuff!! He needs to be recognized more in my opinion!! Thank again

[@MrLaurielover]

Separate Ways and When You Love a Woman. Amazing!

[@antonioreyes8312]

One of the best solos ever.

[@jpontiac4294]

My mane Steve!!! He is Journey and will always be Journey in my eyes!! A legend.

[@mikeharmon4976]

Twon.. a challenge.. check out Mother Father.. (live in Houston 1981)... Dixie Highway... and Why cant this night go on forever... You will be in awe and will have a hard time in choosing which song to react too. But, in the while, you will be pleased in hearing all three. If you like Journey as you say..please listen to these. Thanks again for the reactions.. you are in the lead with me on this !!! Thanks bro. You will hear the best of Journey.. ( vocals and instruments) on these songs !!

[@EarthWalker2023]

Amazing 🎸

[@vincechampion3031]

Hell yeah we wanna see Open Arms live.

[@marciagoranson5973]

That guitar solo let's us all hear what emotion sounds like....

[@Triumph-nz8pt]

Not much is ever said about them but Ross and Steve Smith in the back there are holding it down and their timing is so on point it's fantastic to watch. Steve Perry always amazes me and the band is just so tight here it's an absolute pleasure to watch them.

[@christilehman-starr4428]

Rock God Steve Perry No one will ever be like him Everything about him made me melt You have to listen to the first album. When it came out I was in love for the first time. The songs make me feel like I did then Especially Winds of March Check it out! 😎😉

[@vincechampion3031]

Everything from this Houston concert is awesome

[@JorgeBrahim]

Steve perry the Best male voice ever no one cant touch Steve perry voice

[@tmakinthehouse]

An old Steve Perry story. back in the late 70's he was just a guy with a singing demo tape out there. He had a hard time finding a band because he was so good that most bands didn't want him because he'd outshine them. Journey made the right call by picking him up.

[@kimconroy9535]

I was youtubing today getting caught up on paperwork and put on some Journey videos. Of course I spend way too much time drooling over The Voice. Then I came across your youtube channel and man, the only thing better than listening to Steve Perry and Journey is when someone hears it for the first time and the light in your eyes and at times you look like you wanted to cry. That was one notch above loving the music is when you said he was a kick ass singer. I could shoot myself in the foot for not going to see him perform live back in the day. The man and band freakin' make me wanna cry. I guess it's Freddie Mercury vs. Steve Perry. Freddie is amazing but the way Steve touches his audiences is friggin' incredible. Thanks for doing you videos. You made me smile to know that the best music will never die.
