As someone who grew up listening to Journey, I must say it is very gratifying to see a young person today who "gets it".

I bought tickets and told my wife we were going to meet her sister in that city at an Olive Garden. She did not know where we were going until we pulled into the parking lot. She was blown away but so was I. They were great.

Year I graduated high school. Always will love Journey, my tears were rewarded when they got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Steve Perry is known as The Voice. A moniker given to him by Jon Bon Jovi. His range spans from F♯2 to A5. Perry's voice has been described as a high 'tenor altino' somewhere between Sam Cooke and Aretha Franklin. As part of Journey and as a solo artist, Perry has an amazing collection of hits. Everyone will suggest his Journey hits and his early solo hits like Oh Sherrie. But Perry released an album in 2018 called Traces. And his voice still shines! Check out We’re Still Here and all the rest of Traces. He is still AMAZING!!!

Steve Perry is one of the best singers ever! Notice how he tends to tilt his head to his right to hit notes. I love that!

There's a reason why his nickname is 'the voice.' I saw them on this tour and it really was an incredible show. Really enjoyed your reaction to this one, too. Could you check out their song "Escape." It's too often overlooked and has some great transitions; I really think you'd like it!

In college in the early '80s, all the guys knew that Journey was 'chick rock'. We didn't know why, but we didn't care. It was pretty cool to see the ladies like great music.

It's always a relevant song, no matter what the age is. I love this!

Faithfully. Lights. When you love a woman. Must listen too. Best voice ever! Even Freddie said Steve was the best

I'm always blown away (and thrilled) when young people discover the music I grew up with. Journey is one DEEP rabbit hole to go down. I hope you take the ride. This is just the beginning. Check out 'Mother, Father' performed live at the same show.

He has the most beautiful voice!

Adding Steve Perry to Journey was one of the best moves for music history ever. A good friend used to say "Journey used to make music, now they make money" regarding Steve joining the band, but without him, they'd never had made it like they did.

He considered among people in rock n Roll to be in the top ten male vocalists.

This is what 'REAL' singing 'LIVE' looks like and 'SOUNDS LIKE!!!' If you really want to hear something AMAZING?! React to 'Mother Father' from this same concert!! Us Classic Journey fans call that performance a 'Masterpiece!!!'

Music that stirs the immortal soul will never go out of fashion...end of story...Ty brother for this

Dude he's one of the greatest singers to ever live. Nobody can be seen like him. He had the equivalent to Eddie Mercury if anybody. Plus he grew up in my hometown so I'm Prejudice LOL look it up Hanford California

This song hits and will always hit.....🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.....I get chills as soon as he says I met her in a smokey room

Best voice ever 💖

The line “streetlight people” came to him while looking down out of his hotel room after a show one night. Seeing people move in and out of the lights.

I grew up starting in the 50’s listening to raw, God given talent. So glad I lived through those years.

I'm glad that someone in this century has rediscovered true music.

This era''s music will live on for generations long after all the rap hip off and current garbage will have long died out and been forgotten.

You are absolutely right; they DON'T make music like this anymore!! I will be forever grateful for being of this era!!!!

Steve Perry's solo album is totally incredible from beginning to end. Steve Perry is an Amazing singer song writer!

Journey was one of my top fave bands, the only one that I had every album. So in love with Steve Perry, his voice, and emotions. I saw Journey in concert in Hawaii, when Steve Perry had much longer, shiny black hair, swinging across his back as he sang and moved around. I was far away from the stage, loving the band, especially Steve, but thinking it’s not fair that a man has that beautiful hair!!! Gorgeous man!! And he still is a Gorgeous man, with his beautiful voice and hair!

The music back in the day was MUSIC! its was feel good music that came from the spirit, heart, and soul. It was positive. "Lets get out and live life." "I'll be there" "You are my best friend" "I love you" "Keep going." "It will be okay". These were what the songs were about. Most people under the age of 40 cannot get that because if it's not a boy or rap band singing about taking a woman or killing something, then they think it's just dumb or something to mimic or mock. These type of songs need to be brought back. And I do not mean remade.

Steve Perry had one of the greatest rock voices. I would put him up there with Freddie, Robert Plant, etc. His wardrobe choices were always interesting. He would even wear borderline negligees at times. Takes a lot of confidence as a straight man to pull that off and he totally did.

Growing up than all our bands are legendary. It was just our lives to go to concerts, that's what we did. 60's, 70's, and 80's . Great memories connect to bands. Where you were, who you were with. That's what us teens to young adults did. So meny concerts. Great reaction

Mike, I was at this show in 81 in Houston....amazing group, amazing vocals. "Mother, Father" from this same show is a great listen as well.

There will never be another ... Seen Journey with Steve Perry on there last tour with him . Journey in my opinion will never be without Steve.

Wonderful stuff by a great band and one of the best vocalists of all time.

Steve Perry is a vocal god...Journey never really reached the same pinnacles they did when he was in it. However, we have to give credit to the entire band. Steve Smith's unique and intricate rhythm carry the song and that lead guitar 🎸 👌 wow 👏... That...AND...the poetry of the lyrics.,like you said. My favorite line "streetlight people living just to find emotion, hiding somewhere in the night." Theres a reason why this is considered one of the best songs ever written.

Amazing!! I was at LSU in 1981. That year LSU had a major concert on campus. 20 bands, speewagon band first time on stage. Kansas, Boston and yes Journey!!!!!. I paid 5.00 dollars, what a night. Steve Perry voice, showmanship, willingness to perform in a heavely level is something that will never forget. He was humble when he stated after the concert " I gave my all to this audience". What an amazing performer, he is out of this world 🗺

I was there... Journey was such an awesome band...for ever I am a Steve Perry fan... was so sad when he walked away. I understood...but, still... one of a kind voice!

Could I imagine being at that show? Brother,. I *was* at that show. Journey was amazing and Steve Perry had a voice like no other. Its always good to see a young person discovering the classics, which are called that for a reason.

Can't believe you've never heard this before. "Don't Stop Believing" is the most downloaded song in history of any genre. ;)

So weird because this specific concert was my second concert ever. The first one was the Texxas Jam a few weeks before, which was an all-day festival at the Astrodome with REO Speedwagon, Foghat, Heart, among others. I was 12 years old and went with my older sister and her friends.

Steve Perry is known as “The Voice” and Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin” is the most downloaded song of the twentieth century.

I am so excited seeing YOUR excitrment over this best of all time songs!! You see, music really was at its best in the 70s and eighties! And Steve Perry? A LEGEND!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

I saw them live in 1981 at hampton coliseum in Hampton Virginia. When they sang this song they blew the roof off. They left an indelible impression on me. 30 years I still listen to journey be far one of the greatest bands.

This was one hell of a concert. I've completely lost track of how many times I've seen Journey and every show is as good as the last.

You remember too, this is 1981....no auto tune, this is his real voice and he had the most awesome vocal ability.

Very cool to find you discovering Journey for the 1st time. It'll be great seeing you become a hardcore fan. It is inevitable.

Perfect commentary. Steve Perry is the voice of Jouney. Always will be, no matter who takes over the lead singing.

He was known as the voice of the 80s he is one of the few that sing the same live as he does on his record he has a true talent no one can sound like Steve Perry there are so many songs he sang in the 80s that were top hits
