PHENOMENAL!! Journey - Mother, Father | LIVE HOUSTON 1981 | REACTION

[@abelcano3723]

Steve Perry is untouchable.

[@michaeldistefano7027]

I'm been singing my whole life..... The younger generation needs to get a clue and realize that THIS is talent... Not the shit they listen to.

[@lesliedaubert1411]

YES!❤

[@jtoland2333]

Isn't it sad? They actually are amazed that people play their own instruments, write their own music and sing live without autotune. It's not their fault, it's the fault of the music industry. Watching these reactions gives me chills

[@yyzwdm]

Steve Perry can be imitated but never replaced.

[@jml-rj5re]

GOAT performance by the GOAT. Steve Perry and the brilliant Journey.

[@debortahwelch9298]

Pure talent, not auto tune or tricks to make the "music" better. Nothing better than then 70's and 80's!

[@abdeton1899]

This is the greatest live performance of all time!!!

[@ColmSutton-we6yn]

Absolutely!!

[@rollinjukebox]

Oh, it’s real my friend. His voice has been analyzed and has been judged the most pitch perfect voice in recorded history. His voice is virtually flawless.

[@melodyszadkowski5256]

I remember when they tried to autotune his voice and it was exactly the same. Flawless.

[@sirjock67]

One the greatest live singers of all time

[@LanaLandon]

People were born in the lat 60' - 70' s didn't know anything else but these beautiful voices. The Bee Gees, Olivia Newton John, Journey, Abba,ELO, Foreigner,...etc we were very spoiled!! I love that you love this music!! Cheers

[@LanaLandon]

BTW Steve Perry is from the city by the bay!! Most beautiful place in the US!!

[@RobynHurley-zp9sh]

Born in 67!!

[@bellroad100]

Um, you forgot Freddie Mercury. He and Steve Perry have/had the greatest voices in rock and roll.

[@wbc5150]

Too many voices of that era to list actually. Steve was the GOAT, but with bands like Foreigner, Kansas, Styx etc, it was a time when music was to each his own. Every artist had its own original sound and I'm not talking just vocally, I'm talking instrumentally as well. One lick from Eddie Van Halen's guitar and you knew who it was instantly. Singers, guitarist, keyboardists, drummers, even bass players all had their own sound which culminated to each of their respected bands having their own sound. The most phenomenal decade ever in my opinion. Cookie cutter bands of today that all share the same vocalist and drummer and guitarist, there's nothing to differentiate them and the singers can't sing their way out of a wet paper bag. I'm 58 and I'm certainly not opposed to today's music. I have evolved over the years with the music. There are many bands that I actually do like, some of which I like a lot. But to compare rock of today to rock back in the '70s and early '80s, there's just no comparison.

[@joancurrie6748]

We old folks born in the mid-50s witnessed all the very best in music.

[@ann6466]

Steve Perry’s voice is like no other. Class by himself!

[@nadinriess]

Steve Perry's voice is so powerful. That leaves me speechless. I don't know a voice that comes close to him. He can sing whatever he wants. Each of his songs is unique and so is every song he recorded with Journey. For me he is the best voice on this planet❤

[@pampresnell9813]

Totally agree with you!

[@barringtongilbert9230]

Speechless....yes...THAT's the word I was looking for. Greatest of all time.

[@BassetGirl]

Amen Steve Perry every nuance of his voice is magical, ethereal, beautiful ❤️

[@marygonzales9516]

The most underrated vocalist...SP IS THE BEST, THE GOAT

[@LanaLandon]

The Gibb brothers

[@Tammyperry1]

NO AUTOTUNE! STEVE was singing this Live! He had the chops to do this

[@tonyangelo6966]

Steve Perry is just unbelievable. The musicianship is unbelievable. It’s so cool having real musicians on real instruments live. Unbelievable.

[@kimee910]

Your not kidding Tony, I miss music, performers playing an instrument, vocals, etc. Now, except for country music, there are no musicians anymore just someone performing up front, with background music playing, that’s not music to me. But just 1 persons opinion, though I do miss bands/individuals really playing an instruments and really enjoying what they do!! Thanks for bringing that up, you are so right!!!!

[@judydenver5362]

@@kimee910 You are so RIGHT!!! And lets just avoid the so-called "singers", of today, that run their voice thru a computer, even when "live" , they run their voices thru "AutoTune", to Pitch-correct their god-awful voices, and no one can sing like this, anymore!!! I miss Steve, and David C., and Elvis, and John Denver, and all magnificent singers that we used to have. I wish I had a time machine!!! I loved your touching comment!!!

[@kimee910]

Oh God Judy, yes miss Elvis so much too!! A performer, singer, charisma, playing his guitar, and doing up on stage what only Elvis can do!!! Made you happy and so impressed that all that is happening from one person with so much talent, it can’t & won’t be duplicated again. As for Steve Perry, I was 11 yrs old when “Don’t stop Believin’” was released, and even at that age, I was memorized that vocals like that could come out of human being. He amazed me then, and even more now that I’m older and realize that a talent like his comes along once in a lifetime. He will always be my favorite singer of all times!! A man with a 6 Octive range, unbelievable!!! Thank you for the very nice compliment Judy😊!!!

[@judydenver5362]

@@kimee910 you're so welcome! So true! and I adored David Cassidy, from the Partridge Family--that was the "David C.", that I put there!!! I follow a brilliant Elvis tribute artist, named Dean Z. --his videos are on YT!! I just could hardly believe my eyes and ears!!!Hes' the closest that I have ever seen, to Elvis, and I used to go to those Conventions, so I've seen most all of them! lol!!! I think that you would enjoy him!!!

[@ChefBarb58]

THIS LADY WENT THRU ALL YOUR ABOVE ARTIST AND THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING YOUR TRUTH AND THE TRUTH. I MISS IT ALL❤❤❤

[@micaelsv]

To me this is one of the top 3 live performances by anyone ever...How can you even deliver that live on stage? not autotune here...Just one of the greatest bands ever with best guitarist best piano bass and well....with one of the best singers ever at work..wow..This is as good as it gets very rarely

[@ruthjohnson4380]

This is why Steve Perry was called The Voice.

[@allanmurillo3689]

STEVE PERRY ALWAYS WENT BEYOND THE POSSIBLE...ONE OF THE GREATEST ROCK N ROLL VOICES OF ALL TIME...FLAWLESS AND STRONG!!!

[@marablemorgan8292]

Steve Perry is such an emotional singer...

[@jacieosborne8283]

Listen to the whole album. It's incredible!

[@jml-rj5re]

Keep in mind, virtually everyone in Journey is actually a jazz or fusion musician. They got CHOPS.

[@robinc7235]

It makes me so happy to see younger people discovering the brilliance of Journey, with Steve Perry. There are SO MANY unbelievably wonderful songs that were underrated and underplayed on the radio back in the day and a lot of people don't know them. I encourage you to listen to all of their albums so you can see for yourself!

[@idalucero1260]

That's Mr. Steve Perry, Mr. Jonathan Cain, Mr. Neal Schon, Mr. Ross Vallory on bass and Mr. Steve Smith the beast on drums! This is why I only watch and re-watch Steve Perry / Journey reactions. I just don't want or care to watch anyone else. "The Voice" and this line up of musicians are phenomenal, I listen to them every day and I will never, ever stop until the end of me. 🎶🎧🎤💞🥰✨🤩❤️💋

[@marablemorgan8292]

He never holds back!!!

[@SunnyDaysAreHere]

This moment of helplessness when you realize you discovered them 40 years too late to be able to see them live in concert.

[@cherryfireice8216]

Bummer. Especially when i have a nasty suspicion that a lot of the most popular now can't sing or have breathy little voices heavily augmented.

[@ginnys9831]

I got the DVD off ebay.

[@kathyscoppettuolo7168]

They're still touring. Saw Journey a month ago. Deen Castronovo, the drummer, sings Mother Father very well! Not sure that it's on the current tour's setlist though. Band still sounds great! 🔥

[@pollynicklas5220]

I did see them on 1983 - it must have been later in the tour cuz his voice was nowhere this good!

[@jtoland2333]

I had the chance to see them but being a stupid, smart assed teenager, I did something stupid and got grounded. I kick myself when I watch this concert. 😢

[@ASeventhSign]

One photograph, and broken glass; It should not end this way.

[@BassetGirl]

The expressions on your face when Perry finishes is how we all feel about Steve Perry’s voice and performance; he’s just out-of-this-world amazing❤

[@cassiehowder9782]

Let’s face it, nobody is better than Steve Perry! He’s even better live than in the studio❤❤❤

[@jweber3643]

In the studio version of this Steve Perry sung this in one take. This shows you how absolutely incredible his voice is no one can ever hold a candle to this man.

[@rebeccamassey7545]

Yes it was real. Steve Perry said this was the hardest song to sing.

[@hunteranime4793]

I'm 66 yr old grandma and proud to say I'm crazy over Journey with Steve perry albums 🎧

[@mattbochat3957]

I was at this concert in 1981. I was a blown away teenager then and am still blown away by Journey and Steve Perry's voice. Argueably one of the greatest singers of all time. Little did I know that this concert, recorded 100% LIVE, would go down as one of the greatest Steve Perry performances of his career. Take in the greatness of Journey. All musicians are in prime form. Thanks for the reaction.

[@kathyscoppettuolo7168]

You blessed and lucky guy!

[@geoffsullivan7902]

This guy…. That’s why he’s known as the voice. Talent on a different level.❤️🎶❤️

[@kimfoster6249]

Steve Perry said this was the hardest song he has ever sung. His power, passion, and conviction is remarkable. I grew up listening to Journey and they have never let me down. No one can duplicate or will ever come close to him. He is truly a legend. Thanks for posting!

[@kimee910]

I’m with you Kim, totally agree & get everything you said.

[@journeykid1]

I think he also said that he really loved Open Arms at this show.

[@bellroad100]

He may have said that, but right here he makes it look just effortless! Pretty much what he always did whenever he took the stage!

[@fabianaalba3268]

No word from Mr perry still the one the golden voice ever until the end of the world The best memories to the world of music Mr perry no body can sing like Mr perry still anymore ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯🎶🎶🎶🎶🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😃👍

[@catherineday951]

Have always loved Steve's voice...Listened to a lot of Journey early to mid 80s. Still sung along.

[@gingers.5933]

"Who's Crying Now" and "Open Arms"

[@michaeldistefano7027]

The GREATEST LIVE PERFORMANCE of that era.... Steve Perry was UNTOUCHABLE in his prime. So lucky to have seen this tour live...

[@marcieharreld286]

I think the Music Gods broke the mold after they gave us Steve Perry!!! Spectacularly, incredible voice!!!!💜💜💜🎶🎼🎵🥁🎧🎹🎤🎙🎸🤘🤘🤘

[@joev816]

love watching the next generation enjoying what we had and becoming speechless when they realize this sound / vocals was done live. Yes I loved the 80s.

[@pennyanderson3475]

Everyone in the group was stellar in this concert but especially in this song. A work of art and an emotional ride.

[@leehanson1416]

It's real. I was there that night.

[@dawndipierro9557]

Lucky you!! I saw them on this tour in Philly....front row!

[@bellroad100]

@@dawndipierro9557, I would have killed to be in the front row! I saw them later in this tour in Portland, and it’s one of my all-time favorite concerts ever. (ironically, I DO have front row seats to see them and Def Leppard in Portland in September! I was all about those two bands back in the early 80’s. I saw them both just two weeks apart in ‘83…and if I’d had these seats to see them together back then on the same night, I would have lost my ever-lovin 19 year-old mind! And yes, I know Steve Perry won’t be there this time, but after about 20 years, I’ve reached the “acceptance” stage in my grief about that, LOL! Plus my Def Leppard boys will be closing that night, so it won’t be bittersweet for long…just SWEET!) 🎸

[@lisap.7981]

Steve Perry was known to lay down songs in the studio in just one take! This is one of them! Steve Perry, The Voice!!! Thank you God for putting me on this earth to live my teenage years during the 1980s!!!

[@kristiefreeman5177]

Best singer EVER!! In my opinion. His range is incredible and he sings with such passion! You FEEL it!! I absolutely love Steve Perry!!❤❤

[@carolnewsome554]

To this day, Jon Cain still talks about how Steve recorded this song in ONE take!. Do the entire live album. The band was on fire! To see them having pure fun, watch Dead or Alive.

[@lindasokolowski8506]

Steve Perry is The Voice❤❤❤

[@user-re2ss3jn8w]

I agree his voice is almost unbelievable!

[@monicataylor9977]

Salvo your face says it all!! It's what all of us Journey fans have known since the 70s when Steve Perry joined Journey. I always loved the fact they sounded better live than in recorded albums from the studio. get all the Journey you can get your hands on, and just take a day or two to take them all in , order food in if you need to eat but enjoy every last note. Steve Perrys bday is in couple days and he will be turning 74 . he still sings beautifully and every album is beautifully mastered. He also has a few solo albums and those aren1t shabby either. lol. So happy to see someone who from the first note you heard, understood what you were watching and hearing. God Bless You

Steve Perry is the GOAT!!! His vocals are chilling!!!!

[@Ofthegirl09]

I don't think I have ever seen a better live performance from any recording of any band ever. And I had the honor of seeing this performance live, on this tour.

[@lisapanka6910]

This tour made me a Journey fan for life. Jon Cain went to Julliard. Steve Smith went to Berklee. Neal Schon joined Santana when he was 15 after turning down a spot in Derek and the Dominoes. All of them are masters on their respective instruments. And the marriage of Steve Perry’s voice and Neal Schon’s guitar is simply magical.

[@glenecho7284]

From this concert, 'Who's Crying Now' and 'Open Arms' are legendary.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

Definitely my favorite live of both songs

[@dawndipierro9557]

Any song from this concert is legendary. Crazy!!

[@tonys2473]

Just found your channel and obsessed. Journey is my all time favorite band hands down. Steve Perry is next level. Glad you feel the same.

[@dottybb2756]

It’s almost ridiculous how amazing Steve Perry is live. He was the real deal. No effects, no Hokey Pokey to help his voice through a live performance. Just pure vocal ability that is otherworldly. This song is so incredibly hard to sing and he just soars through the notes night after night. I love watching your reactions to Journey and your appreciation for just how insanely good they are and how great Perry is. I’m curious to know what your reaction would be to Daydream off of there Evolution album. It didn’t get any air play but is my favorite Journey tune. It has a whispy magical sound but also a rocking sound. It’s worth a listen/reaction.

REAL singing, NO Autotune, tapes.. etc. I'm so glad I was able to go to concerts in the 70s & 80s when what you heard wasn't augmented or fake. I'm a Bay Area boy... saw Perry do this live a bunch of times... he was the real deal.
