I never even heard of Randy Jackson until American Idol came along. I remember hearing him talking about playing in Journey all the time. I didn’t even realize that Steve Smith and Ross Valory were gone. I actually like this lineup, though. Neal Schon is the only original member left in Journey. Steve Smith an Ross Valory were recently fired regarding them trying to get ownership of the band. They didn’t realize Steve Perry still gets paid by Journey. It was part of Journey deciding to continue on without him because he didn’t get hip replacement surgery quick enough for their liking. It was a contract they had to come to terms with for them going on without them leaving him. He received a huge amount from their first 2 albums they recorded after his departure. He gets a chunk of whatever merchandise they sell. He currently gets paid $800,000 a year while they’re still active. He has a net worth of 70 million dollars. For someone who’s been gone from Journey since like 1997, he’s making some great money. He says he doesn’t spend a lot of money. He has a nice home, but it’s not some kind of mansion. He’s never been married. So, he never had to worry about losing half of his things. He’s a smart guy.

That's how it was then! None of this primary relationship w your tech device nonsense; people actually socialized in person, TALKED to each other and everything was created by us by hand; none of this social media, AI, green-screen, studio-produced nonsense. And we had REAL movie plots not reboots.

Every girl loved Journey in the 80s. That's why most guys loved Journey in the 80s.

Great song by one of the greatest bands ever, with the greatest singer to ever set foot on a stage.

OMG that incredible voice, there is no other like Steve Perry. There is no question why he is still and always will be so beloved around the world.

I was a kid in the 80’s and this band sweeps me right back to that amazing time. Steve Perry’s voice is other worldly. ❤❤❤❤

Agree with you, Steve Perry vocals was just amazing like I was only three years old when that song came out, but oh my God I am like loving the way this man sings!

Come on now BJ. When it comes to Asia and Steve Perry, “the girl can’t help it.” 😉 One of the great vocal rock acts, among many. Top Shelf. 🤘😎

Journey and the Eagles were the best harmonies in rock. I always get a kick out of seeing Randy Jackson at bass... you forget he was amazing in Journey.

Asia you have great musical taste. I'm listening to music over 60 yrs and I'm leaning towards saying Steve may be the best singer ever. He's the whole package. It's said walking and singing is one of the most difficult things to do Steve does it effortlessly. Another great song. Hats off to all the band members, great job. 🎉🎉

Journey had it all. Great song writers, great lead singer, great background vocals, awesome guitar. Just a once in a lifetime band.

Right there with you, Asia!! His voice is beyond amazing! My favorite all time band. Their music never gets old for me, and I am 56 and lived through this era!

I've always loved the onstage chemistry of Neil Schon (guitar) & Steve.

For the record, ALL concerts were big like this back then! You expected nothing less when going to a concert then.

There’s no auto tune garbage and he can walk around and sing like that! Can’t imagine living with him and having that voice sing just around the house to other bands. I imagine it was priceless growing up with him! They sold out every single show they did! I was lucky enough to see them when I was 13 and right before Steve Perry lost that voice unfortunately for a long time. It was unbelievable! He is so amazing and just walks around like that y’all!!!

It is the greatest joy to me to watch you both fall in ❤ with Journey like we did! 🎶. Awesome!

That was Randy Jackson from Idol on the bass

Damn, Journey was from my youth era, every time still brings up goosebumps. Thank for 'reacting'. sending love

The bass player is Randy Jackson from American Idol...judge...

I’m with you Asia! Incredible voice, guitar everything!! Captivating forever!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

A lot of people have said, like, Steve's voice gets under your skin. I can't explain it. Unique timbre, haunting. On occasion he's done a background vocal and you can always tell it's him - or like I never knew for years Journey had done a song for the movie Tron and knew instantly.

I believe also for Vision Quest.

Neal Schon, the guitarist, was 17 when he joined Santana on their third album. When Carlos got into the whole Jazz fusion thing with John McLaughlin, he and Santana's keyboard player decided to form their own band so they could keep on rocking. That band was Journey. What you saw here was the second incarnation of Journey.

I've been listening to Steve Perry since the beginning and love him. He's iconic. Yes, every girl loved Journey back then.

I'm so glad you reacted to this song. The 1st time I heard it I was hooked and probably wore it out. Great reaction!!! ❤❤❤

My all time favorite Journey song. The harmony rich ending is unmatched & golden

Raised on Radio is one of the best-produced records of the 1980s; you owe it yourselves to hear the perfect-ness of the sounds on the album version of this song. Imagine five Perrys layered on top of each other in the choral section at the end. Stunning stuff.

This whole album is fantastic- “Suzanne” is one of my favorite journey songs of all time, and “be good to yourself “ is really awesome too… and have others have mentioned, that’s indeed American Idol’s Randy Jackson on bass!

Asia, I don't want to keep rubbing this in LOL but I was lucky enough to see this band twice and I can tell you on God that this band sounded so good life and so perfect that these musicians were top-notch and then the vocals and harmonies would just almost make anybody get tears in their eyes they were so good ! Part of the magic is that while the bandholz down vocal harmonies that are perfect it give Steve Perry room to sort of exercises voice and solo a bit on top of the harmonies is just amazing. And I noticed on this song that part of the magic that happens in here is the song actually modulates into a different key I would say the first part of a verse was in one key and then the second part of the same verse would modulate and then they're going to the pre chorus and the chorus and then come back in and to the original key not a lotta do stuff like that in their. But I want to say I'm thankful that I started watching you guys a long time ago and I'm also thankful that you guys get turned on by some of them same music that I thoroughly enjoy as well.

You are helping me rediscover how great Journey was during this time period. The talent on stage is mind blowing. It pulls you in and you feel it. Thanks for a great reaction.

Steve Perry (The Voice) a vocal genius. Randy Jackson on Bass was incredible!! ♥️🎶🎤❤ 🎸

You recognize the bass player, a certain American Idol judge, Randy Jackson. Crazy ✌🏽🤟🏽

I had the pleasure to see them on this tour. They were fantastic. Out of all the concerts I was able to see, I would pick this one second only to Pink Floyd. Both unbelievable musically.

My all-time favorite Journey song!!!! I wish people would cover the studio version of the song, though. It's fantastic.

Do you realize that the bass player is my man from American Ido and he’s talking about going back on tour with journey as their bass player? It is so freaking awesome.

It literally blows my mind that Randy Jackson from the early American Idol days was the guy playing bass!😮😮😮😮 Go DOG!

Yes. That's Randy Jackson playing bass in 1986. Great album. Listen to it since I bought it. I was 25 then. Great music, great memories!

Me too. 25 and stationed in England.

I saw Journey in concert 3 times and each concert was better than the other ones if that's even possible.

This is my absolute favorite Journey song. It's just so poignant, and every time I listen I can envision this couple that does love each other, but can't get out of their own way enough to make it happen and still looking for someone else out there. Really heartbreaking in that sense. They do put on a hell of a show. These lyrics though, they really tell such a story.

“That dang ole guitar solo touched my soul”…I SAW it the moment it happened!!! Love your Journey reactions!!! Steve Perry’s voice is amazing and he was also great eye candy. I included myself as one of many who have crushed on the hot dude with the tight pants and phenomenal voice that melts hearts. 😍

I saw them twice in the early 80s in Detroit. Best live singer ever . The concert atmosphere was electric. Always many beautiful women in the crowds

My favorite song by these guys. Journey was huge as I graduated high school in 1984. Fire song for real

So glad you mentioned Winds Of March. It,s my favorite with Steve Perry. One of the best Journey songs. The build up that leads into the bridge with the Organ Solo is amazing. Infinity is my favorite Journey album with Steve Perry.

I was 18 years old when this album was released in 1986, and I remember the day I went to buy it as if it was yesterday... I've always loved this song!

I was a teenager in the 80's. There were few bands in the same stratosphere as Journey in that era. Their music was custom made for arenas. They had a HUGE sound.🙌🏻

LOVE IT!!! This track is in my top 5 fav all time by this band. The harmonies are incredible! And Neil ripping that guitar at the end. So legendary band. Happy to Give, Why Cant This Night Go On Forever, and Eyes of a Woman - all off this album and showcases Steve's voice even more than than usual.

I remember wearing out my Journey cassette tapes cruising in my Malibu Chevelle in high school in 1987 👍

I've got one for you Asia that really shows off Steve's voice. Check out "Patiently" from The Midnight Special. It wasn't a huge hit but the first song Steve Perry & Neil Schoen wrote right when Steve joined the band. They said that was a bonding moment between the both of them & the rest is history!

Not to rub it in, BUT, I saw Journey live 4 times all with SP fronting the band. All performances were surreal for me being a huge fan.

Journey’s (that lineup) a band of really talented, accomplished musicians. You just don’t see that anymore this days.

38 years ago, and still better than anything out today. This rocks and timeless. Journey with Steve Perry is unbeatable live.

Did you know the Black Bass player is the well known American Idol Judge, Randy Jackson? How cool is that?!

Asia would Absolutely melt when she hears (Why can't this night go on forever .) It's a must .

I really enjoy your videos and seeing your reactions. I'm 70 years old and have been a Journey fan from their beginnings. I feel that they were at their peak during this concert tour. You can see how much fun they were having while performing. Sadly, I never got to see them live

The companion song to this would be "Send Her My Love" which of course shows how Great Journey is. Been a fan for almost 5 decades now.

Great taste, Asia! You have a gorgeous voice yourself!

I loved the album Raised On Radio. Great Journey songs.

Asia & BJ, thank you so much for this! I was 21 back when I saw Journey and I was already a big fan, but hearing Steve Perry in person just blew me away. The band is so tight and make such amazing music, but having Steve Perry is what launched them into the next level. Like you said Asia, "Greatness." When I saw and heard SP effortlessly carry humanly impossible notes, I thought "it's a good thing they don't allow bottles in the concert, because his voice can literally shatter glass!"

I love how Asia's face lights up when she hears Journey. Suzanne is an underrated gem. You should check out Strungout from Perry's solo venture as well.

Been listening to the greatness of Journey since the mid 70s. Damn near impossible to find a bad song by them.

Finally!!! You guys did it...I've been waiting for you to do this one. Love the fact that Asia, being a singer, appreciated Steve's range and tone. Now, just complete your repertoire and do "Mother/Father" from the 1981 Houston concert, live! 👍

Love love Journey!! You should have been born with us Asia and BJ! They have never had a bad performance!!!

I mentioned this on another Journey reaction video, but I have more detailed information about the 1983 Journey video game : Journey is an arcade video game released by Bally Midway in 1983. Rock band Journey had enjoyed major success in the early 1980s, and Bally/Midway decided to ride this wave of popularity by creating an arcade game based on the group. Its release was intended to coincide with the band's US tour (for the Frontiers album, the cover artwork of which is used in the video game's main display screen). This game uses digitized photographs of the members of the band at the time: Steve Perry, Neal Schon, Steve Smith, Jonathan Cain, and Ross Valory. ~ Wikipedia The game's prologue explains the objective in the demo sequences (and presumably before each play session) : Wild alien groupoids have seized Journey's electro-supercharged instruments. Your mission is to help Journey retrieve their instruments from the dangers of the Five Galaxies. Trek through hazardous obstacles in quest of each instrument and then battle your way back to the Scarab vehicle. When all five missions are completed, Journey begins a spectacular concert at the Galactic Stadium. Journey plays their hit song while Herbie guards the stage from frenzied groupoids who are trying to take the instruments. Te Journey songs in this game for each of the levels are : Steve Perry, vocals - DON'T STOP BELIEVING (from the album ESCAPE, 1981) Neal Schon, guitar - CHAIN REACTION (from the album FRONTIERS, 1983) Ross Valory, bass - KEEP ON RUNNING (from the album ESCAPE, 1981) Jonathan Cain, piano/keyboards - STONE IN LOVE (from the album ESCAPE, 1981) Steve Smith, drums - WHEEL IN THE SKY (from the album INFINITY, 1978) Other in-game events : Planet Select Screen (choosing which level/band member to play) - FRONTIERS (from the album FRONTIERS, 1983) Losing A Life (failing the level) - WHO'S CRYING NOW (from the album ESCAPE, 1981) Planet Cleared (completing the level) - LIGHTS (from the album INFINITY, 1978) I have only ever played this game a handful of times back in the day (1983-1985) when it was at the local Safeway (grocery store) in my neighborhood, and I could never complete a single level. It was simple enough in concept, but near impossible in execution. Either the controls were set to be extremely sensitive, or the difficulty was jacked up (possibly both) to scam dumb indignant kids (like I was, lol) into feeding the machine more quarters.

My all time favorite Band and I’m a 53 year old Metal fan. In the 70’s and just getting into music Journey was the first band to blow my mind. Steve Perry of course

Hey guys, you want to hear something? Check out the Journey song Higher Place. This is from the first album after Steve Perry and the band parted ways. The song is fire 🔥 and I think y'all will be shocked of how good the song and singer is

Patty-Asia will love one of his solo songs titled Missing You and No Erasin. These are post Journey with last song released 5 yrs ago. He still rocks it at 70.

I saw Journey, Aerosmith, Sammy Hager, and Bryan Adam's for $14 in 1983. No pre recorded backing tracks and 15 years before auto tune.

Like Send her my Love! Lived in the Bay Area during this era. Journey was awesome... Why Why Why? There's fire in his eyes for you!

Check this out. This was the first time they ever did this song live. This was opening night of the Raised On Radio Tour August 23rd 1986 at the Mountain Aire Festival Campground in California. You’d never know this was the first time playing it live and it was the first show with bass player Randy Jackson and drummer Frank Baird.

These dudes had a five, six, year run back in the late 70's and early 80's where they could do no wrong. Saw em in Lexington KY in Rupp Arena on the "Escape" Tour. Bout 28-29 thousand people jammed in there shoulder to shoulder and it was LOUD. Great show...

One of my favorite Journey songs! Love it!

I am so lucky that I grew up in the age that I did. We went to almost every concert that would come around Philly. Back then in the 80s, ticket prices for concerts were only about 25 bucks. We didn't have to deal with scammers who buy all the good tickets up and then try to resell them for 300 and 400 and $500. Next to Pink Floyd Journey was probably one of my favorite bands to see live they were so amazing always sounded good crowds packed to the rafters. Boy do I miss those days I don't even go to concerts now when I see how much they cost, it's freaking ridiculous. Also fun fact did you know that the guy playing the guitar to Steve's right on the stage is Randy Jackson from American Idol? 🎉

I was at that concert … front row, center stage. Best concert I’ve ever seen.

Journey with Steve Perry never, ever gets old.

Journey is just one of those bands where the stars aligned. The brightest of which was Steve Perry’s incredible voice. I enjoy watching other people react to their music almost as much as the actual music itself. Almost.:)

Great song and with Steve's voice, phenomenal!
