what made this band so special back in the day was that Steve Perry didn't just sing lyrics, he used his voice as an entirely individual instrument. He always went far beyond being just a singer.

You're right. No singer ever used his or her voice as an individual instrument. No singer ever sang the melody of a song. Steve Perry is the only person in the world who can sing. Damn, Steve Smith and Neal Schon really kick some ass here.

Loving you is EASY!! THE VOICE Forever. Hey, maybe we could talk him into being a coach on The Voice. Then we could watch him for an entire season interacting with everybody now that would be cool period of course then everybody would choose him to be on his team so nobody would want to be on anybody else's team. 😂

Best voice by far he also had the best hair back in the day

Journey has such an Incredible catalogue of songs beside the 5 radio friendly songs that are always played.

Loving you is easy is one of my favorite Journey songs, but this live version is magic, fantastic. For me, Journey always sounds better live (the "real" Journey).

The greatest AOR band ever. Perry and Schon , both the greatest respectively. Steve Smith, greatest Jazz and all round rock drummer ever. Ross Valory, such a talent. Johnathan Cain, composer along with Perry and Schon that at least equals that of McCartney and Lennon, Plant and Page. And must mention original and cofounder of the band Gregg Rolie, a true legend. Journey was in their heydays and without doubt the most talented and sound band in rocks history. Just look at the string of Platinum and multi platinum albums they released during those magical years. Yes! They wrote for the masses. Songs that all of us could relate too. They write such classic mood songs that truly made anyone able to relate and feel what they needed to feel from a listen. Pick you up. Help you cry. No human emotion left untouched. Not inventive enough some said. Too commercial the critics cried. Nuts to the haters, then and now. A band that touched the very inner darkest reaches of peoples souls like no band before or since. The world owes them a huge thank you. Journey On Forever. Don't Ever Stop Believin' !!!!!

this was the best Journey line up. IMHO.

I love Steve Perry's voice, can't get enough of it, he is unique. I listen to a wide variety of music but Journey with Steve Perry is one I will forever come back too!!! He is awesome!!

Up to now for me the 1980 Osaka show is the finest moment in JOURNEY's career. A nearly perfect mix of prog heritage and catchy, very, very well crafted songs, supplied with pure passion and first-rate musicianship.

Utter perfection Steve Smiths drumming is just amazing Schon at his best and the voice doesn't get much better than that!

American rock at its finest...we were blessed to have these talented musicians. ...

Perry was hands down the best voice ever.

What perry does live can never be topped

Journey brings a lot of energy to the crowd while they're playing this song.

Man... this song ROCKS!!! Can’t get enough!!! Classic rock stations should play this on air!!!! Amazing!!!✌🏽

Steve Perry is a pure joy to watch as a performer. Perfect connection with the audience as he delivers amazing vocal performances!

HAWT, Steve is on fire!

I love Steve Perry! Best vocalist ever.

Lovin you Steve Perry is so easy!😙😙😙

Amazing performance and everything that is missing in today's music! They were killing it in 1980 in a way that no one does today in 2019. Talk about having the chill factor...

Smith & Schon !!! Oh My God !!!

Can’t replace Steve Smith and those thunderous Sonor drums.

Now this is Journey!!

I’ll tell you little story. I’m from Utah When I first heard infinity I was like 14 no I already was in bands as a bass player singer, guitar player. So I knew quite a bit about music at a young age, I honestly do not believe that he could sing like that live I thought his voice is studio manufactured. Our guitar players mom worked at the salt Palace in Salt Lake City. And got us backstage passes to the evolution concert. I was like 15 or 16. Anyways. Next thing I know we’re hanging backstage I remember being a table full of food tons of it. Then all of a sudden we heard from another room voice that I will never forget we looked at each other like is that for real, we walked down the Corredor turn the corner and Steve Perry was sitting on a stool strumming a bass guitar. With a cuppa tea with the teabag in it. Warming up. I had never heard nothing like that and have never heard nothing like that to this day. Steve Perry was my favorite singer from then on. Fast forward 1986/87 My wife work for the Smith’s Tex. And got us front row tickets to raised on radio I got my little sister A ticket. If you weeks later van Halen announced they were coming in concert. My sister came up to me and said do you care if I sell my journey to get Van Halen/Hagar. Tickets. I said yeah mind I want you to see this. Reluctantly she really didn’t want to go. Steve Perry crawling on his hands and knees over to my sister and was saying into her. After the concert all she could say was oh my God oh my God. I am so glad I did not sell my ticket to this Thursday. Her very favorite singer she just brought me his new traces CD. I’m not gonna lie it brought tears to my eyes and her’s. STEVE was really cool when he met us. A really awesome guy. The concert was freaking amazing. Sorry about your loss. But Loss brought you back. Everything happens for a reason. The latest one I was shown as pretty as the everything happens for a reason. That’s my little journey story. And there’s no other guitar player so on point. Even though I was pissed at him when they dumped on Steve Perry when he had hip replacement surgery. But whatever. They still left us with unbelievable timeless music.

Yes, Steve had the best voice, best face, best hair!!!!!!!!! ❤

This is my favorite Journey lineup- missed Gregg Rolie after this.

I agree. If you watch the clips from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, you will see Rollie roll his eyes at the applause for Perry. This was before they took the stage for the acceptance speeches. During Steve's speech, he acknowledged every member on stage and Rollie didn't seem to want to applaud anything Steve said,. I was disappointed to see this public reaction from Gregg Rollie.

1 Of my favorite Journey songs!

This really is an awesome performance ,I seen them at Winterland (San Francisco) in 1976.Just thinking about that show gives me goose bumps ! ,bad ass show.

The more i listen to tis era of journey t more i realise how it was magical. Perry/schon/ rolie /valoury/ smith on fire here.....watch schons guitar n how perry interacts with him

I was the lead vocalist In a band starting at 15 my guitar players mom was in charge of the events at the salt Palace in Salt Lake City Utah. To be honest I thought Steve Perry’s voice was studio manufactured I thought there was no way he could pull off that kind of Octave changes, with that kind of range. Anyways we got backstage passes. I remember there was a big table of food sitting out. All of a sudden I heard a bass strumming, And I heard that voice we followed it down a hallway there he was sitting on a barstool with a white cup and saucer with a teabag hanging out of it warming up. I stood there with my mouth wide open I was totally blown away from that moment on he was by far my very favorite singer. So unbelievably gifted. Every bit of his vocal capability is from his passion you can see it through his eyes in every song he sings. He’s funny. And if you knew him he’s a total genius. He really can do anything. Neil schon Is so underrated as a guitar player. I think he’s one of the greatest.

So, you saw him warming up backstage???!!! (Faints.) Was he doing traditional vocal warm-ups, or was he singing a song? Jonathan Cain once said in an interview that he heard Steve's voice, he thought "there's no way he can do that live in concert." But then he was amazed at what Steve can do vocally. Jonathan said that Steve did the vocals for their song "Mother, Father" from the "Escape" album in the studio IN ONE TAKE!!! GOLDEN VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
