I completely agree with you regarding Steve Perry. He’s humble, he’s not showing off he’s simply giving the song the melodic power and soul it needs. It’s just fantastic! He uses his voice in service of the song. When he sang with Gregg Rollie it was obvious. He’s so phenomenal!! I ❤ the 1978 song Lights, just hauntingly beautiful.

[@fbettr2627]

@Rosanna Rivero , Steve PERRY is one of, if not, the most talented and soulful singers in rock history.

The problem for Journey on the Escape album is it's loaded with songs that would have been chart-toppers if they weren't competing with the rest of the chart-toppers on that same album. Just an extraordinary album, top to bottom. The range on it is incredible. I read a snippet from Jonathan Cain once that essentially said that if a band is good, it can go anywhere, and the limiting factor is the singer. Perry could sing anything, so they went everywhere. Critics didn't get it. But the rest of us did.

We camped 36 hours before the show, and patiently waited through Aldo Nova, Triumph, and Blue Oyster Cult (AND the baddest food fight I've ever witnessed), to finally see Journey, and oh was it worth it! The place erupted as soon as Stone In Love began, as the force of the general admission crowd moved me 30 yards toward the stage with BOTH feet off the ground! My face was pressed against the back of some dude for what seemed like an eternity, but when the dust settled we were right there near the front, with probably 70,000 others rocking full force.

[@kevinm.8682]

I agree Steve gave Journey their boost into mainstream success. I disagree with those who say Journey ceased to exist when he left.

[@tejadeja9542]

Kevin M. Agreed! But it’s truly never been the same, or as good. You need them all to round out the magic✨

[@DemsRinsane]

New Journey is a Journey cover band.

[@juliemitchell6037]

What's the guys name Arnel? If you can't have Steve he is a great sub. He's got a great voice not to mention humble beyond belief. Steve retired greatful for Arnel for helping keeping Journeys live music going. It's so much better then the best cover band you still have Journey!!

[@joyceangel7634]

My first time watching your show, and you showcase the absolute best band ever...Journey! All members are masters in their own right...Steve Perry is at the top of my list. He is The Voice.

[@theonlyredspecial]

Even in Ireland journey made an impact when I was a kid. I listened to journey, Boston, survivor, foreigner. Alongside more Uk based acts like queen, led Zeppelin, the who, pink floyd. Journey were such a talented band. Every single member was a force.

[@mangot589]

My favorite is Stay Awhile. I was yelling that at a concert, and Steve took off his tee shirt and gave it to me. They didn’t play it, but what a trade off! It’s still my most prized possession.

My favorite. Mother, father. The melody, the words, and Steve Perry singing is stellar!

[@davidsantana7103]

Early Journey tune: “Feelin that way/ Anytime”. 2 songs in one. Incredible song. I’d love to hear the story behind that one.

[@paulroberts6820]

Those and a few others on Infinity, Evolution and Departure were duets with Greg Rollie, the original singer. Totally different singers, but they really complimented each other. Rollie has done some recent performances of old Journey classics that are really good .... find on KZbin (without Perry, but a couple are with the other Journey Steve singer from the 90s).

[@Allen-eq5uf]

Journey and Loverboy, my first concert of many, many. I was 13 years old! Found an old newspaper clipping of it the other day. 1981. The best rock and roll EVER!

[@michaelhorning6014]

Stone In Love wasn't a hit? I'm very surprised. One of my favorite songs.

[@rodsmolter5046]

Gets a lot of air play on the radio even to this day so IMO that qualifies as a hit, regardless of how it did on the charts.

[@GamerPrismo0]

Yeah, how the fuck is it not famous, 😮THAT’S MY FAVORITE SONG

[@raytull3922]

Another super-underrated Journey song is "Why Can't This Night Go On Forever". Definitely some of Steve Perry's best vocals.

[@va_creative]

Yes! Absolute masterpiece.

[@LandSnipe415]

Best male Rock Singer ever. I've ben a fan since '78. When the song "Lights" aired, it really hit home for us (my siblings and I). Because we lived on the east side of the City, facing the Bay. When we got up for school, right outside our widows facing east, we'd actually see the street lights shut off and we'd see the golden reflection of the Sun, reflecting on the water in the mornings. Candlestick Park was just south of our bay window views. Anyway, since that was a part of each day, when "Lights" aired, it really hit home. My 1st Journey concert was during the "Escape" tour, summer of '82; I was 14. It was held at Oakland Coliseum/Stadium where the Raiders resided. I've seen close to about a hundred concerts since then and to this day, that show was one of the very best ever, like in the top 3. Thanks, for posting a great video with great interviews. -Steve G., Engineer, S.F., CA., USA

[@Bsquared1972]

Perry's performance in "Mother, Father' is SO outside the abilities of 95% of the best singers in rock and roll. He is in my top 3 rock singers of all time.

[@kevins7944]

Especially that falsetto at the end!

[@BlackieNuff]

The vocal harmonies, man... SO Journey...

[@gmwforce1972]

The way Perry’s vocals begin on this song after that note... amazing!

[@markdaniels7174]

THAT is the real “hidden gem” on the album. “Stone In Love” was a gem in plain sight, very well-known.

[@deannaisom342]

This has ALWAYS been to me the Journey song that was neglected it's true exposure! It is such a great song of emotional trauma and reaching out to get the attention of friends/family that I almost cry every time I hear it.I would of coarse listen to the whole album(Escape) but when it got to 'Mother -Father' I would turn it up even louder and replay it a few times while singing along. I have been a HUGE fan since my teens (I'm 54 and heard 'Lovin' touchin' squeezin' when I was in jr.high) and they are still in my top 5 bans of all time.

[@kdog7469]

"Why Can't this night, go on forever" should have been massive. Steve is UNBELIEVABLE in this song.

[@allsummersingle]

My favorite Journey song

[@josephyoung3556]

K. And, I TOTALLY agree with you!

[@dankail507]

100%. Those vocals and the lead guitar!!!

[@flipgirlnarie2292]

Agree100%

[@Shambleland]

Agreed! "Why Can't This Night Go On Forever" was the final slow dance song (and 2nd to last song overall) for my wedding reception.

[@tomcaldwell5914]

After I listened to “Journey Captured” I was never the same......for me it was a musically transcendental moment. What an incredibly talented bunch of guys.......saw them when Steve was still the lead singer and JC was on the keyboards.

[@nicoletripp2257]

Steve Perry legendary vocals with Neil Schon Guitar is absolutely magic….” Stone in Love” no doubt should have been bigger. That being said it’s on classic rock radio daily. Good suggestion for you professor..” party’s over” extra track. One of my all time favorites. Love to hear more about that song. Love the show. Never miss an episode

[@plasticman3952]

Of all rock groups, Journey still has the potential to have their entire rock catalog of songs gain hit status, new listeners are born daily.

[@zd30-01f]

I agree with you. Steve Perry's voice was as good as Freddie Mercury's, totally different of course, but just as brilliant and beautiful as Mercury's. Perry could hit notes that no one else could. "Stone In Love" has always been one of my favorite songs. My 22 year old nephew started blasting the song in his car just yesterday and it made me so happy that someone so young discovered, on his own, one of the best rock songs ever!

[@punmasterflash]

As someone who saw Journey from the front row on the Escape tour, everything you said about Perry's singing is true.

[@justinskullhead]

A core memory for me is driving with my kids in the back seat when they were 7 & 8 years old. I was jamming to this song and I looked in the rear view mirror and see both of them singing this song with all the passion they had in their little selves. I love when your shows bring back these wonderful memories ❤❤❤

[@janicemichaelsedona1146]

Hard to Believe this Song was not a hit for Journey at the time Escape was released. But who cares , as a fan I absolutely love it. The music, the sentiments, and, of course, Steve Perry's emotionally evocative voice bringing all alive for us! Thank you Professor for bringing it all to light!

[@leiac98]

Steve Perry is Americas treasure hands down

[@MFP2241]

"Send Her My Love"... that song comes and rises so deep from the soul and Neal's solo is so alluringly... sad but optimistic at once. You should talk about that song.

[@aaxmym]

I've got to agree. "Send Her My Love" is one of my top Journey favorites and the guitar solo is just icing on the cake. I can still think only of one girl from my 20's when I hear it.

"Sad but optimistic" is a precise description. Musically, that song takes you on an emotional ride for sure.

In the summer of ‘81, I was 15 years old and I was head over heals in love with the girl of my dreams. We literally listened to this rock classic by the train tracks. A few years later I married that gal and we have been together for 36 years married and almost 40 as a couple. This album, and that song, are literally the soundtrack to my youth.

[@davidplain3162]

Bii Schrader your a lucky man, I think we all had that plan with our first LOVES. These songs are a rollercoaster of memories and emotions, mostly bittersweet. As Archie and Edith said THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!!

[@seekthetruths22]

It makes me really angry when I hear some ignorant and uneducated people that think Journey is some generic pop/rock band that has only produced Don't Stop Believin'. It's certainly a very pleasant song but musically the band has so many more artistic and substantial songs than that.
