No autotune. No pitch correction. No canned background vocals, or tracks at all - certainly no lip syncing. Just real, live talent.

Neil Schon was one of the most underated guitarist of the '80s he is still fantastic today!

You just can’t beat Journey for great vocals, musicality, great Melodie’s , musicianship, etc. Forget the silly clothes/ it’s all about the talent! No autotune.

Steve Perry was one of the greatest lead singers of all time. I personally prefer 70's Journey to 80's Journey but both are good. Next listen to "Lights."

Lead singer Steve Perry - one of the best vocalists ever. Journey is one amazing band! We had great music in the 80s. It was a great time to grow up, especially to be a teenager and in college.

This song has been nominated by multiple musical talents as having one of the best outro guitar solos.

I didn't know that but it makes sense. It's an incredible solo!

Who needs a studio, when your live performances are record production quality.

Journey Mother Father live in Houston the vocal acrobatics are incredible ❤❤❤❤

Neil Schon played in Santana at 15 years of age - the dude is a beast on the guitar...

Wow, I love Journey. A deep rabbit hole to explore. They were amazing in concert. I only saw them with Steve Perry….the best!!

A true Rock Anthem. Steve Perry's timeless voice. Exquisite as ever.

This entire concert made it out on DVD; you can still find it places; It's fabulous. This was filmed the first night of two 1981 shows in the Summit Arena in Houston, TX; I made it to the second show the night after (still have the ticket stub). It was one of the best concerts ever!

Do "Don't stop believing" and "Mother Father" from the same concert. Vocal and instrumental performance is epic.

I believe this is the song where the record producers wanted to cut out that guitar solo, saying it was too long. Steve Perry said nope and so now we have that great ending to this song.

That's absurd good for Steve Neal is a great guitarist he learned from Santana

Dave & Ash, I love your reactions and your humor! Back in the day, they were true musicians! It sounds cliche' but the artists actually had talent! They all did, competing for sales and airtime on the radio against other talented individuals, groups and bands. That's how you get 'iconic' musical decades like the 70's and 80's - music that's still being listened to and loved 40 and 50 years later!

More Journey! Mother, Father from same live concert is AMAZING!!!

Your (her) face alllllll the way through the guitar solo! Yesssss!!!! You get it, ... feel the vibe! I don't recall you smiling like that long on ANY other reaction video.

That last Tron movie had Separate Ways in it. The son walked into the arcade, turns the power on and the jukebox is blaring. The whole feeling of that scene was pure nostalgia =)

Journey had a song, "Only Solutions", on the original Tron soundtrack, too.

"Stone In Love" , the song of my teenage years.

In no particular order Steve Perry, Neal Schon, Ross Valory, Steve Smith and Jonathan Cain! What a friggin lineup.

Steve Perry and Freddie Mercury were the greatest singers from mid 70s to maybe mid 80s. Their an iconic band also. Great performance.One of my regrets is that I wasn't at that Escape Tour concert in 81. Steve does one of the most difficult things only a few singers can do, walk around and sing in great manner

One time, a reporter asked Freddy Mercury, "How does it feel to be the best singer on the planet?" Freddy replied, "I don't know. Ask Steve Perry". Two greats, for sure.

I got to see Journey in Atlanta , Ga. twice ! There's a reason why Steve Perry is known as the Voice !!

"They were so desperately trying to end their bloodline with those jeans." 😂😅😂🤣

While I wasn't at this show, I saw them on this tour in 1982. It was so much fun. I got tickets to see them again in 1983.

So glad you’re listening to Journey! My favorite band and favorite rock vocalist, Steve Perry, aka “The Voice”. Neal Schon’s guitar solo in this song is one of my absolute favorites!!!!! Steve Perry gets all the accolades, and rightfully so, but Neal Schon is an equal star in this song. Just amazing. At that time, there was no auto tune, no piped in music, just pure talent.

Ash that's the 1st time that your face just LIT UP IN PURE JOY!! It was wonderful!! ; ) this song takes me back to high school Friday night's riding around town in my Z28 Camero!! We'd put this tape in, ride back & forth in town with the windows down!! Sooo fun....I still have this tape also!! Thank you for the memories guys!!

You 2 should give a listen to Mother Father by Journey at the same concert . Steve always said that Mother Father is the hardest song he sang . Didn't sound too hard . According to Steve , he sings the whole song in his upper range . The 2 guitar solos during the songs allowed him to have a break . This concert was recorded for their live album and was even aired live on the radio . Back in the days of recording music on cassettes .

one of my favorite live performances...and that guitar solo always impressive

I get to see them and Toto tomorrow night. Always liked their music. First song that really stuck in my head was Open Arms in the movie Heavy Metal.

Check out their song, Stone in Love. The cartoon you're thinking of is Heavy Metal. Dad joke: Q: What do you call a lazy kangaroo? A: A pouch potato

T-shirts like the band wore were very popular at the time in part because we all brought our clothes at the mall. There were several chain stores in malls like Chess King, Just Shirts, Merry Go Round, etc., and they all sold shirts like these by brands like Chams, Sergio Valente and many others.

Journey was the U2 of the 1970s they had so many hits.

Journey is such a legendary band and this shows why. Laughing about the tight jeans

Yes friends ❤! Thanks for the react to my all-time favourite rock ballad. Hooked on this one at 13 years young, hearing on the CFRA 580AM top 30 countdown in Ottawa.

They aren't wearing tank tops, they are just t-shirt & a vest, which were fashionable within the rock era of the 70s & 80s.

Ahh memories ❤❤❤ Journey has such a great catalog of music 🎵❤❤❤

Journey Lights/Stay Awhile Live Osaka Japan 1980 is a must 🔥

I was at that concert it was so awesome my favorite band. I'm lucky I got to see them.

Journey - Don't Stop Believin' (Live 1981: Escape Tour - 2022 HD Remaster)

I was 8 when this came out, and it got a ton of play on MTV. We were spoiled with great music back then. Cheers from the state of Ohio, USA!

One of the greats. The guitar and synth combine and complement one another that creates an atmosphere and gives weight to the lyrics. Iconically, Journey.

Today we don’t have bands who have incredibly talented people working together. We have solo artists who have nothing but an unemotional sound that is a replicated. Back in the day a great band had drummers and guitarist that people knew because they were an important part of the music.

I am obsessed with Steve Perry. There will never be another voice like his.

Great reaction. Love your chemistry together. This entire 1981 Houston concert is a banger. Every song is epic and they are at the top of their game. Like you said, they are all true musicians. No auto tune or studio tricks. That is how good they sound live. Their harmonies are amazing. They all can sing and they are all masters of their instruments.

I saw journey at boston garden in 1983 . Its etched in my mind i was 16

The only place I know of that this song was used in movies or tv was a short scene in Monsters vs. Aliens where it's being played briefly on the car stereo.

When it comes to Journey you don't need suggestions, just do what you want. Anyway you want it is great!

Iconic voice-Iconic band/perfection!!! Check out “ Open Arms” from this same live concert. AWESOME.

I can't believe you guys haven't heard that song. I guess I'm feeling my age lol I used to hear that all the time on New Years Eve before midnight fireworks at Disneyland in CA. Crowd always went nuts. I didn't like them when the song first came out,, but as I've gotten older, I've grown to really like Journey. He's got an amazing voice. (Recommend Don't Stop Believin')

Clapton asked him to join Derrek and the Dominos when he was still in high school, but he turned him down because he'd already committed to join Santana on his African tour. He was 16 at the time.

I remember them being so huge as a young teen growing up in the 80s. My sister had the Escape Album and I thought it had the coolest vinyl cover.

Record Executives really wanted to cut Schons guitar solo at the end of this track. Steve really fought to maintain Neil's solo as did the band. Can't imagine this track ending any other way fit radio formatting. Excellent tune.

This song is *firmly* set in the soundtrack of my life!

A general surgeon that I work with here north of Houston went to that concert. He lit up when we started talking about it.

The voice the best singer all time

Saw them in 81 also opening for Stones, Great Voice!

Send Her My Love is a great live video! ❤

When does a joke become a dad joke.... When it becomes apparent

Love Ash's evil laugh!!! keep up the quality content. This is music from my teen years and holds some great memories of school dances after football games etc. Good tunes and good times. Cheers! Scott Ritchie

Also, A fact to consider as this gets lost on most fans but Neal Schon really is Journey, founder, lead guitarist, musical director, the only continuous member, as he has carefully crafted their sound through many eras and personnel changes. No doubt the Steve Perry era was best but he soldiered on after Steve left with a series of singers that covered Perry's songs and helped keep the band alive to this very day. Lastly, don't forget Greg Rollie, Hall of Fame singer/keyboard player from Santana, helped found the band and was their lead vocalist before Steve and did great harmonies with Steve for a few albums before leaving. Those early 3 albums with Greg as primary vocalist are hard rock - prog rock classics, Neal really shows you how great a player he is, those albums are full of bangers for those who want to take a chance. Great stuff, enjoy!

We had great music back then!

Love this song. Nice react. Happy you listened to it. ... I'll check out some of your other stuff. 👍

@@stuckinarkansas1 Well, maybe their niche was filled by The Scorpions, or maybe it was an incompetent booking agent. When Steve asked him, "Why do they keep spitting on my shoes?" He said that means they like you. The funny thing is, they did, but were afraid to admit it to their friends. Steve "Jonesy" Jones of the Sex Pistols was a big fan, but was afraid of getting his a$$ kicked if anyone found out. He told Perry all about it when he interviewed him for Jonesy's Jukebox, and poured out his heart about how he saved his life with his music when he was going cold turkey off heroin and alcohol.

I happy you two liked it!!!!

Saw them in May of 1983, they put on an amazing show. Perry’s voice and Neil Schon’s guitar were literal musical perfection. Some relatively unknown blonde guy opened, Bryan Adams. One of the best shows I’ve ever experienced.

Steve Perry was my favorite vocalist for years. And then I met Tommy Johansson from Sabaton. He just quit the band to go it alone and I actually think he has a better range. He's from Sweden and is the sweetest person in the world. Check him out. 😊

Not sure if you knew this, but at 16 Neal Schon was a guitar player in Santana plus Greg Rolie was the keyboard player in Santa a who left to form Journey along with Aynsley Dunbar, Ross Valory, and George Tickner. The lineup you see here is the most popular and most successful with the exception of Greg Rolie who left after the Departure album. Not a lot of people know about or have really the first 3 Journey albums, but when Evolution and Infinity came out Steve Perry, it was clear, they were going to be big! My first Journey album was Departure and then the Escape album was released and I think there were 4 maybe 5 songs from that were huge hits! Frontiers and Raised On Radio were both great! Please react to more, thank you!
