Perry was nicknamed, "The Voice" by other artists and fans. He has a voice so unique that if you've heard him before, you would only need seconds to know it's him if you heard his voice again. Just incredible.

[@wendyhowe2178]

Amazing performance. Did you know the studio version was recorded in one take? Steve Perry is incredible! This entire concert Live in Houston 1981 is fabulous and on DVD. Steve Perry was personally involved getting this on DVD for us the fans to have and enjoy. This is Journey at their height of success. Stone in Love should be your next reaction.

Steve Perry: is a countertenor who sings in the range of a high tenor to a solid alto.

I'm 66yo old and saw Journey back in the 70's at The Whiskey Agogo in Hollywood. They were a very different band back then. I feel so fortunate to have seen hundreds of acts back then. This is the epitomy of a great band.... no in-ears, no click track, or backing tracks, with on stage monitors and a group of top musicians that listened to each other when performing. This was amazing.

[@victorialw1]

Awesome reaction! Your smile is contagious! Now you can see why this was voted the best live performance of any band or artist of all time. So much talent in one place. Not only is this timeless, but the message as well. You know, Steve's voice is studied in Universities. There are computer programs now that can isolate vocals from the instruments, but they have a hard time with Steve's because the AI identifies his voice many times as an instrument. When Journey told Steve that they were planning on going on without him if he didn't get his hip replacement surgery, he begged them to wait. He told them to do what they wanted in the meantime, just don't call it Journey. He told them it would fracture the stone. They said they knew, but had already been looking for a replacement. Steve had drawn up what he calls "divorce papers". Because they were looking for a sound alike, Steve was able to get written in there that he would still be paid as if he were still a member of the band, because technically, his voice still is. To this day, Steve still gets paid. Dean Castronova, their drummer, now sings this song live. He does okay, but in my opinion, there is no replacing Steve. Journey's current lead singer won't even touch this song. It was such a sad time for us fans when they went on without him. It was as if Journey had lost their soul. I still loved the rest of the members though. I actually went to see them in 2018, but just to watch them play. Fortunately, it was before they got rid of Valory and Smitty. Did you know that the piano in this video is called "The Whale"? It was on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for a bit. I went while it was there and leaned over the rail to touch it. Sshh. Don't tell. 😂

[@wendyhowe2178]

[@reneeheknowsmyname6771]

Nobody can ever be done with Steve Perry!!!!...lol... Another song that will blow you away is ....... 'Why Can't This Night Go On Forever' (if you haven't already) Also! This tour was the 1981 Escape Tour. It was a very successful tour, that started in July of 1981 to July of 1982; playing 132 mostly sold out shows! Not only that! However, some of the concerts were big jam concerts. Meaning there would be like 3 to 4 bands opening up for Journey!! When Journey did this 1981 Houston concert. They also came back and did the Texxas Jam! They had Sammy Hagar, Joan Jett, Sanatan and another group opening up for them! The Escape tour was a monster of a tour! Mother Father, wasn't on the play list in most of this tour. Only a few cities got to witness this song in person!

Check out Journey doing 'Mother Father' with drummer Deen Castronovo doing the lead vocals and playing drums simultaneously. His voice doesn't have the same fullness as Perry's - but dang is he great.

[@wendyhowe2178]

I’ve noticed you haven’t reacted to the very famous song “Don’t Stop Believing” yet. Hope it’s coming up soon. Best version is from this same Live in Houston 1981 concert. Also a fun few facts about the song “Don’t Stop Believing”. It’s the most downloaded song on iTunes something like a billion downloads...crazy awesome. And earlier this year in April 2022 it was inducted into the Library of Congress National Recording Registry for 2022. This means that song will be registered there for 1000 years. Making Journey’s music truly timeless. Steve Perry was so honored by the induction of the song to the Library of Congress National Recording Registry this year he did a short video speaking about it and how the song came to be back then. He was very honored by it. Steve has said “Timeless music takes time.” And that is absolutely true. Journey is an amazing band. We the fans love this band because they play with their hearts and we feel the music in our soul. Band of brothers. They were magical together.
