Patiently - Journey | The Midnight Special

[@aammdj]

When he was at his peak he was the greatest rock vocalist the world has ever heard. There will never be anyone close to this guy.

[@markleggett3944]

His voice was pristine. Years of constant touring took a toll on his voice, but it was still great.

[@jenniferjohnson471]

He was so amazing in concert...I loved watching him running around on stage... AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH ❤

[@ernestorochehall2303]

no amigo era no lo es porque ese estatus es para siempre.

[@tasken_lander_redux4775]

This man's voice truly is a gift to the world.

[@kimsworld2023]

Absolutely

[@JudySoward]

You speak the truth

[@karenurbanski5004]

Truly

[@jeffreyjaworski4481]

Whoever added this to KZbin needs a Nobel Peace Prize.

[@joycebunn6045]

Agree most heartedly

[@D.M.C100]

Agreed

[@michelledavis6901]

Agree

[@catherinewilliams9680]

What is it about Steve Perry and his voice? After 40+ years, that man's voice still gives me shivers up and down my spine. They don't make voices like his anymore.

[@cassiehowder9782]

I agree with you 100%

[@shrimpback]

Who doesn't make voices like that anymore? Someone makes voices? Lol

[@Roksee]

AND he's a helluva good guy! ❤❤❤

[@Kim-tv6zr]

He makes me cry!!! He is so beautiful

[@deborahmaupin5092]

Absolutely agree ❤

[@MattBrzozowski]

Here I stand in 2024 listening to Steve Perry and his voice is still towering above everyone else’s. Hands down the greatest vocalist. Period.

[@mariovega1481]

Mickey Thomas is a close 2nd

[@blancacabezas7673]

Totalmente de acuerdo.. No hay otro ❤❤

[@laurapokorny742]

Totally agree, 100%. He's amazing as a vocalist and general all-around human being!! ❤️❤️@blancacabezas7673

[@chrisjensen9941]

One of the greatest songs of all time. When the Electric Guitar kicks in, I still get goose bumps, 40 years later.

[@lisamj]

Same. 🎉 ✨🎤♾️

[@bradcrawford1998]

I LOVED listening to Infinity in HS. My girlfriend and I used to listen to the album over and over again while making love 😊 I saw a Journey tribute band years ago, and they sang Patiently. I was so thrilled, I started to weep. The friends I was with saw my emotions and said you ok. I told them that song brought back some precious memories for me, it was a VERY special song. That's the beauty of music, it can take you back to the happier times in our lives when the world was so much simpler.

[@sarahwiebe6592]

Neal is a-mazing!

[@P51]

Good God, the soulfulness of that man's voice--not to mention the talent in this iteration of Journey is PHENOMINAL

[@AuntieTammy]

Right!

[@corazonyee7717]

💯 agree

[@lindabergman3127]

Yes❤beauty in motion 😂

[@kimsworld2023]

It's downright painful

[@KathyWilliams-e6y]

His voice is both soothing and heart wrenching at the same time. He is so passionate in both lyrics and vocals. I think he's the best singer of all time .... GOAT

[@thekivster]

Their most underrated song. It’s so good.

[@smwokk]

I burst into tears at the beauty of his voice and longing for that time, that era. Wishing you all love.

[@wendyhowe2178]

One of my most favorite songs and performances. Steve Perry is a master of his incredible craft. Phenomenal.

[@jrnyfan_57]

Will always be my favorite Journey song 🎵 🎶

[@karenurbanski5004]

He sure is

[@annieskywalker6405]

I think this is their most beautiful song. Just ahead of “ Faithfully” and “ Open Arms”. Neal’s playing is just gorgeous on this song.

[@karenurbanski5004]

I agree

[@janicetrimmell6897]

Wow, just wow! I hope everyone working with getting these pieces of magic posted know how much it means to us.

[@themidnightspecialtvshow]

Us too!

[@MarkTeepell]

Can't imagine not having these to enjoy. Hooray for KZbin members!

[@cassiehowder9782]

Omg. The last note of this performance and Steve’s face says it all. I love him❤❤❤

[@cupcakequeen0617]

The lip bite was too adorable. His face said, "I nailed it..."

[@karenurbanski5004]

He sure did!

[@monikacase770]

Tears burning my eyes and my soul flying with his voice - Steve Perry is once in a lifetime ❤

[@that70sgirl90]

What happened to music? These great days are gone forever, but never will the be forgotten. Thanks to KZbin and shows like "The Midnight Special" that you have decided to give us back a piece of the past. Nothing can ever compare to living these days, the music, television, and just the good times of growing up. Nothing can ever compare❣️ Happy Wednesday... thank you for sharing! 💖

[@rockmetalhead7680]

Todays music its just to make easy money making partys song, but i dont doubt theres many others great songs in todays gen

[@scott1395]

I was a Jr in high school when this was done! Damn, I miss being free, had no major responsibilities, hormones raging, where's the party this weekend? Out at Mike's house or down at Jernigans Bridge!

[@peterfranks7619]

Your words are the truth. we have these memories of a better life I feel for this generation how things are spinning out of control.

[@OttoByOgraffey]

The Midnight Special, and Burt Sugarman, thank you, so much, for sharing these shows with us! It means so much!

[@CyregO]

[@corazonyee7717]

Thanks for bringing us back to the good ol days of real music

[@chiefs777]

I saw Jouney in March 1978 just a month before this performance. They were amazing live. Played 5 encores. And a new band to a lot of us named Van Halen was the opening act.

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

WOW!

[@JM-ix2zu]

Journey/Montrose/Van Halen One of the best tours ever. Van Halen's first album came out just after the tour started.

[@dennisdavis4474]

Yep..I saw that same concert also.A warm up band name Van Halen.

[@chiefs777]

@@JM-ix2zu It was an amazing concert!

[@SammiGirl-bx1th]

I was 13 years old in 1978...I would come home from school (hated it by Jr. high....bullied terribly...was AWFUL) and the Infinity album was my saving grace...my sanctuary...I would go right to my bedroom, put this album on and listen with my headphones full blast...loved Journey then and I still do now...46 years later. The power of music is life changing. ❤❤

[@aurouratrashworthy8680]

Amen to that

[@Amanda_MJsDad]

I was also 13 in 1978. LOVED this album and all that followed. Music helped me through the hardest parts of life. Keep on livin"

[@jrnyfan_57]

Infinity is and will always be my favorite Journey album. I'm happy it helped you through some hard times.

[@AJS24DH]

Second Amen to that !!

[@aceluke7783]

Most people were bullied. I hated school . Now most of those bullies are dead or living a shitty life.

[@JackieCollins-om3lz]

What an absolute amazing voice Steve Perry!! There will never be another you♥️❤️

[@ernestorochehall2303]

totalmente de acuerdo el genio Steve Perry es inigualable y único

[@ACPanzer]

What a voice...and he's still good. Love Steve Perry.

[@KathyWilliams-e6y]

That little lip bite at the end ..... What a voice tho, soulful and passionate ❤️

[@ah9068]

It seems like the guitar strings and vocal cords are connected by some magical force…

[@patrickvanrinsvelt4466]

Still the best rock and roll vocalist... ever. Such control.

[@DonitaSilk]

I wonder why this song wasn’t marketed? It’s absolutely beautiful! 3:41 and has Steve ever looked better?

[@JudySoward]

He definitely is picture perfect which goes with his beautiful voice. Picture perfect

[@karenurbanski5004]

Perfection

[@anthonyambrose479]

I always wondered that too But it just wasn’t a radio song in the 70’s Only Journey song I ever learned on the guitar as a drummer

[@sabbathtribute]

Same album as Wheel in the Sky, Lights and Feeling that way/Anytime. Patiently was a B side track..

[@DonitaSilk]

@@sabbathtributewas it really?!

[@catrionamcarthur2857]

This man is just perfection all round ❤❤❤Mr steve the voice perry

[@maryloucrowe6122]

Jon Bon Jovi calls Steve Perry "The Voice" for very good reason! 🔥💖🔥💖

This is fabulous! When music was great, musicians played actual instruments, and singers could sing without autotune! Steve Perry is the GOAT.

[@AndreaG-R]

Amazing. Neal can't stop staring at Steve. What a wonderful voice. I'm sure Neal misses him.

[@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!

[@DonitaSilk]

Do you know if that win is online, or anything?

[@crystalfreeman9295]

This is an amazing copy of this show. It's so clear it could be 2024. Steve looks and sounds heavenly. Nothing can come close to Steve in his prime. Not to mention how gorgeous he is. 🥰😘💞💕💯💎💎🔥🔥❤️❤️

The Voice!

[@zybeco]

The look on Steve's face at the end when he knows he nailed is just so sweet and pure.

[@margotconway8605]

Yes he nailed it

[@ah9068]

That look at the end❤-I’ve watched this video hundreds of times just to see it….

[@taisad-h3422]

I’m a huge fan of Steve Perry. His voice moves me.

[@joycebunn6045]

Beautiful beautiful love your voice don’t know how to describe it angelic very romantic love love this song ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@cupcakequeen0617]

Neal at 0:15 : *Do you thing, Perry* But in all seriousness, the way he's looking at him says a lot, knowing they did well choosing him as their lead singer. Knowing Journey’s reputation of not having a good sound, I bet everyone in the audience was not prepared when they heard Steve open his mouth and sing.

[@leandrosotube]

"One in a Million!!!"

[@karenurbanski5004]

Loved his expression at the end he knew he nailed that performance

[@margotconway8605]

Yes he nailed it

[@briansmith2207]

Journey at their very best

[@VenetiaMammone]

Most talented singer of all time, there will never be anyone that even comes close, ❤

[@lavonnemcdowell7040]

Steve voice is ever-changing in our bodies and mind and heart. There's no one that can sing like Steve Perry not then not now. Steve is the king. His voice is amazing and awesome.

[@nickynoo346]

Have loved this man's view from the escape album 1981 at 16yrs old was totally hooked, still am today ❤😊❤❤❤

Steve’s and Neal’s first collaboration. Wheeee

[@davidvitullo8581]

A great beautiful rock song. Steve Perry has one of the best voice in rock music n a great song writer. Steve Perry made journey more famous than ever before. Steve Perry is one of best front man in any band 😎🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🌹🌹❤️❤️🏋️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🎸🎸🌹

Quite possibly Steve Perry's best live performance of any song. And that is saying a lot.

[@michellemontague7519]

Journey fans thank you!

[@donnamccully1703]

Thank you so much for this video, it's so nice and clear. I love this classic Journey song so much. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. They're all phenomenal musicians and I love all of them and have been a huge fan since 1978. Steve Perry's voice is straight from Heaven and he's one of the best singers of all time. Not to mention he's also a very beautiful man inside and out.

[@neilfisher7999]

Beautiful! Had the pleasure of seeing him live in 1982. The early stuff from the first three albums he appeared on were magnificent! Other people have great range like he does. But there is just something about the quality of his voice that is truly otherworldly. The tone, timbre, the phrasing, the pronunciation, the accuracy of his pitch. He is truly one in a million! No one could ever replace his voice in Journey. Ever! No knock against them continuing on with Arnel, but there is only one Steve Perry.

[@gregbrooks3577]

1981 for me. Omni Atlanta.

[@bethanyhuber2598]

Again, I thank you for sharing these segments of greatness in music! Fantastic! 🥰

What a great song for a newly married couple’s first dance-lyrics are perfect for that point in your life. You’d have to be a fairly accomplished dancer to pull off the middle section- and of course this video couldn’t be playing at the same time bc every female’s eyes in the room would only be watching this beautiful young man instead of the couple. SP is absolutely mesmerizing in this performance. It’s so far beyond his physical beauty, the pure white clothing, the range, tone, and phrasing of his one of a kind voice-there’s this soulful, sweet connection with everyone listening…it’s just a perfect, magical package where changing one thing would detract from the whole. Thanks whoever posted this-it’s kind of life changing !

[@LisaBellaDonnaMusic]

None greater… So sincere and so soulful. Every member of that great band 🖤
