His voice is both soothing and heart wrenching at the same time. He is so passionate in both lyrics and vocals. I think he's the best singer of all time .... GOAT
I was 13 years old in 1978...I would come home from school (hated it by Jr. high....bullied terribly...was AWFUL) and the Infinity album was my saving grace...my sanctuary...I would go right to my bedroom, put this album on and listen with my headphones full blast...loved Journey then and I still do now...46 years later. The power of music is life changing. ❤❤
What is it about Steve Perry and his voice? After 40+ years, that man's voice still gives me shivers up and down my spine. They don't make voices like his anymore.
I LOVED listening to Infinity in HS. My girlfriend and I used to listen to the album over and over again while making love 😊 I saw a Journey tribute band years ago, and they sang Patiently. I was so thrilled, I started to weep. The friends I was with saw my emotions and said you ok. I told them that song brought back some precious memories for me, it was a VERY special song. That's the beauty of music, it can take you back to the happier times in our lives when the world was so much simpler.
Steve Perry's REAL FANS voted him the "GREATEST ROCK VOCALIST" ever through Billboard in September, 2023.Steve acknowledged the win 🏆 with his usual humble self!
What happened to music? These great days are gone forever, but never will the be forgotten. Thanks to TH-cam and shows like "The Midnight Special" that you have decided to give us back a piece of the past. Nothing can ever compare to living these days, the music, television, and just the good times of growing up. Nothing can ever compare❣️ Happy Wednesday... thank you for sharing! 💖
I was a Jr in high school when this was done! Damn, I miss being free, had no major responsibilities, hormones raging, where's the party this weekend? Out at Mike's house or down at Jernigans Bridge!
I saw Jouney in March 1978 just a month before this performance. They were amazing live. Played 5 encores. And a new band to a lot of us named Van Halen was the opening act.
This is an amazing copy of this show. It's so clear it could be 2024. Steve looks and sounds heavenly. Nothing can come close to Steve in his prime. Not to mention how gorgeous he is. 🥰😘💞💕💯💎💎🔥🔥❤️❤️
A great beautiful rock song. Steve Perry has one of the best voice in rock music n a great song writer. Steve Perry made journey more famous than ever before. Steve Perry is one of best front man in any band 😎🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🌹🌹❤️❤️🏋️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🎸🎸🌹
His voice, his smile, his eyes, his hair, everything compliments each other and its just oh so perfect❤❤❤ i wish i could met him at this particular year, 1978
Neal at 0:15 : *Do you thing, Perry* But in all seriousness, the way he's looking at him says a lot, knowing they did well choosing him as their lead singer. Knowing Journey’s reputation of not having a good sound, I bet everyone in the audience was not prepared when they heard Steve open his mouth and sing.
Beautiful! Had the pleasure of seeing him live in 1982. The early stuff from the first three albums he appeared on were magnificent! Other people have great range like he does. But there is just something about the quality of his voice that is truly otherworldly. The tone, timbre, the phrasing, the pronunciation, the accuracy of his pitch. He is truly one in a million! No one could ever replace his voice in Journey. Ever! No knock against them continuing on with Arnel, but there is only one Steve Perry.
This is one of the most beautiful lyrics, Steve's voice..I do believe many babies were conceived over these many years.. still sends shivers up my spine...the best music to the soundtrack of my life.. originally had 8; track... 😂 God I'm old but grateful for this amazing man
This song is SO BEAUTIFUL I wept watching an amazing Journey tribute band sing it to perfection. I thought I was reliving my 70's and watching Steve sing it again, they sounded so good 😢
Thank you Midnight Special for posting these great performances from the TV show!!! You provide such fond ☺memories of the greatest time in music history.
Dios mío cuánta perfección en un hombre 🥰 me volví fanática de la música de Journey al ver éstas presentaciones. Todo comenzó con una nostalgia tremenda por el rock de los '70s y fue cuando llegué a estos videos de Journey en vivo y fue maravilloso. ❤🎶
Thank you so much for this video, it's so nice and clear. I love this classic Journey song so much. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. They're all phenomenal musicians and I love all of them and have been a huge fan since 1978. Steve Perry's voice is straight from Heaven and he's one of the best singers of all time. Not to mention he's also a very beautiful man inside and out.
🌹🥲❤️ that is absolutely beautiful! The passion and the feeling in your voice in your eyes just blow me away. I’ve been trying to think of a way to say that what I was feeling I’ll be years. And that’s what it is. It’s like a magnet to me. I have such deep feeling about things I’m always saying how I feel too much. It hurts because I feel too much and that’s what I hear in your voice. You also feel a lot and express it in every song, in your eyes and in your expressions. That’s what draws me so much to you.🥲❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹
What a great song for a newly married couple’s first dance-lyrics are perfect for that point in your life. You’d have to be a fairly accomplished dancer to pull off the middle section- and of course this video couldn’t be playing at the same time bc every female’s eyes in the room would only be watching this beautiful young man instead of the couple. SP is absolutely mesmerizing in this performance. It’s so far beyond his physical beauty, the pure white clothing, the range, tone, and phrasing of his one of a kind voice-there’s this soulful, sweet connection with everyone listening…it’s just a perfect, magical package where changing one thing would detract from the whole. Thanks whoever posted this-it’s kind of life changing !
No better voice than Steve Perry’s. Freddy Mercury not even close. I don’t know if Steve can hit the notes he once could but in his day no one come any close.
Amazing to hear Steve Perry's pristine, crystaline voice before excessive touring and strain broke it. If he could have preserved it, Journey would have been even greater - later slbums are hard to listen to
Whoever added this to TH-cam needs a Nobel Peace Prize.
Agree most heartedly
Agreed
Good God, the soulfulness of that man's voice--not to mention the talent in this iteration of Journey is PHENOMINAL
Right!
💯 agree
Yes❤beauty in motion 😂
It's downright painful
His voice is both soothing and heart wrenching at the same time. He is so passionate in both lyrics and vocals. I think he's the best singer of all time .... GOAT
This man's voice truly is a gift to the world.
Absolutely
You speak the truth
Truly
I was 13 years old in 1978...I would come home from school (hated it by Jr. high....bullied terribly...was AWFUL) and the Infinity album was my saving grace...my sanctuary...I would go right to my bedroom, put this album on and listen with my headphones full blast...loved Journey then and I still do now...46 years later. The power of music is life changing. ❤❤
Amen to that
I was also 13 in 1978. LOVED this album and all that followed. Music helped me through the hardest parts of life. Keep on livin"
Infinity is and will always be my favorite Journey album. I'm happy it helped you through some hard times.
Second Amen to that !!
What is it about Steve Perry and his voice? After 40+ years, that man's voice still gives me shivers up and down my spine. They don't make voices like his anymore.
I agree with you 100%
Who doesn't make voices like that anymore? Someone makes voices? Lol
AND he's a helluva good guy! ❤❤❤
He makes me cry!!! He is so beautiful
Absolutely agree ❤
Steve Perry was so effortlessly the best rock and roll singer of all time. Forget Freddie Mercury.
Don't diss Freddie. There's plenty of room in the greats space for both he and Steve Perry💖💫
Omg this is an amazing performance. He's so talented
I agree
When he was at his peak he was the greatest rock vocalist the world has ever heard. There will never be anyone close to this guy.
Omg. The last note of this performance and Steve’s face says it all. I love him❤❤❤
The lip bite was too adorable. His face said, "I nailed it..."
He sure did!
One of the greatest songs of all time. When the Electric Guitar kicks in, I still get goose bumps, 40 years later.
Same. 🎉 ✨🎤♾️
I LOVED listening to Infinity in HS. My girlfriend and I used to listen to the album over and over again while making love 😊 I saw a Journey tribute band years ago, and they sang Patiently.

Neal is a-mazing!

Do you know if that win is online, or anything?
Here in 2023……Journey was, is and always will be amazing! Steve Perry is the GOAT!
Jon Bon Jovi calls Steve Perry "The Voice" for very good reason! 🔥💖🔥💖
What happened to music?
These great days are gone forever, but never will the be forgotten. Thanks to TH-cam and shows like "The Midnight Special" that you have decided to give us back a piece of the past. Nothing can ever compare to living these days, the music, television, and just the good times of growing up. Nothing can ever compare❣️
Happy Wednesday... thank you for sharing! 💖
Todays music its just to make easy money making partys song, but i dont doubt theres many others great songs in todays gen
I was a Jr in high school when this was done! Damn, I miss being free, had no major responsibilities, hormones raging, where's the party this weekend? Out at Mike's house or down at Jernigans Bridge!
Your words are the truth. we have these memories of a better life I feel for this generation how things are spinning out of control.
That little lip bite at the end .....
What a voice tho, soulful and passionate ❤️
One of my most favorite songs and performances. Steve Perry is a master of his incredible craft. Phenomenal.
Will always be my favorite Journey song 🎵 🎶
He sure is
What a voice...and he's still good. Love Steve Perry.
Wow, just wow! I hope everyone working with getting these pieces of magic posted know how much it means to us.
Us too!
Can't imagine not having these to enjoy. Hooray for TH-cam members!
I think this is their most beautiful song. Just ahead of “ Faithfully” and “ Open Arms”. Neal’s playing is just gorgeous on this song.
I agree
Still the best rock and roll vocalist... ever. Such control.
Steve Perry not only has the greatest voice ever he is also so sexy and gorgeous!!! Thanks for this post. Never get enough SP/Journey.
Yes he IS....still have a major crush on him over 50 years later....🔥
I wonder why this song wasn’t marketed? It’s absolutely beautiful! 3:41 and has Steve ever looked better?
He definitely is picture perfect which goes with his beautiful voice. Picture perfect
Perfection
I always wondered that too
But it just wasn’t a radio song in the 70’s
Only Journey song I ever learned on the guitar as a drummer
Same album as Wheel in the Sky, Lights and Feeling that way/Anytime. Patiently was a B side track..
Boy he sure had it all!! Voice, looks, charisma, emotions!!
I saw Jouney in March 1978 just a month before this performance. They were amazing live. Played 5 encores. And a new band to a lot of us named Van Halen was the opening act.
WOW!
Journey/Montrose/Van Halen One of the best tours ever. Van Halen's first album came out just after the tour started.
Id never heard this song before. Thank you Midnight Special
Steve and Neal wrote this song I believe it was the first song they wrote together
This is an amazing copy of this show. It's so clear it could be 2024. Steve looks and sounds heavenly. Nothing can come close to Steve in his prime. Not to mention how gorgeous he is. 🥰😘💞💕💯💎💎🔥🔥❤️❤️
The Midnight Special, and Burt Sugarman, thank you, so much, for sharing these shows with us! It means so much!
😿😻
Glad you like them!
@@themidnightspecialtvshow _You bet!_ 😉
Thanks for bringing us back to the good ol days of real music
Loved his expression at the end he knew he nailed that performance
Yes he nailed it
This man is just perfection all round ❤❤❤Mr steve the voice perry
This is fabulous! When music was great, musicians played actual instruments, and singers could sing without autotune! Steve Perry is the GOAT.
A great beautiful rock song. Steve Perry has one of the best voice in rock music n a great song writer. Steve Perry made journey more famous than ever before. Steve Perry is one of best front man in any band 😎🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🌹🌹❤️❤️🏋️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🎸🎸🌹
The Voice!
His voice, his smile, his eyes, his hair, everything compliments each other and its just oh so perfect❤❤❤ i wish i could met him at this particular year, 1978
Steve Perry sings so heartfelt he is the greatest voice
I couldn't wait for the Midnight Special every week. It was so part of who I was. To rediscover this treasure is magical.
GOD blessed Steve Perry with the talent to sing like this!!!
Amen
I’m a huge fan of Steve Perry. His voice moves me.
Mr Dunbar on the drums. And Steve with that liquid silk voice. Awesome lineup of talent.
Journey fans thank you!
Neal at 0:15 : *Do you thing, Perry*
But in all seriousness, the way he's looking at him says a lot, knowing they did well choosing him as their lead singer. Knowing Journey’s reputation of not having a good sound, I bet everyone in the audience was not prepared when they heard Steve open his mouth and sing.
I burst into tears at the beauty of his voice and longing for that time, that era. Wishing you all love.
Perfection. One of the greatest voices in rock music.
Beautiful, just beautiful. The gift of voice from God is a true blessing.....
Amazing.
Neal can't stop staring at Steve. What a wonderful voice. I'm sure Neal misses him.
Beautiful! Had the pleasure of seeing him live in 1982. The early stuff from the first three albums he appeared on were magnificent! Other people have great range like he does. But there is just something about the quality of his voice that is truly otherworldly. The tone, timbre, the phrasing, the pronunciation, the accuracy of his pitch. He is truly one in a million! No one could ever replace his voice in Journey. Ever! No knock against them continuing on with Arnel, but there is only one Steve Perry.
1981 for me. Omni Atlanta.
Quite possibly Steve Perry's best live performance of any song. And that is saying a lot.
Again, I thank you for sharing these segments of greatness in music! Fantastic! 🥰
Glad you enjoy it!
Steve Perry has a voice that's like no other 🎉🎉. His talent is endless and he sounds amazing 🎉🎉. He is Journey 🎉🎉
"One in a Million!!!"
My favorite Journey performance. It feels like Steve Perry is singing to your soul. Just gives me shivers. Such an amazing voice.
This is one of the most beautiful lyrics, Steve's voice..I do believe many babies were conceived over these many years.. still sends shivers up my spine...the best music to the soundtrack of my life.. originally had 8; track... 😂
God I'm old but grateful for this amazing man
This song is SO BEAUTIFUL I wept watching an amazing Journey tribute band sing it to perfection. I thought I was reliving my 70's and watching Steve sing it again, they sounded so good 😢
❤ Steve is the definition of perfection ❤
Shocking to see performers at their peak
miss the 70’s
Have loved this man's view from the escape album 1981 at 16yrs old was totally hooked, still am today ❤😊❤❤❤
None greater…
So sincere and so soulful.
Every member of that great band 🖤
Aynsley Dunbar on drums. A rock legend in his own right. Departed with journey later that year 1978
✨🥁⭐️
Ansley actually.
@@billyb3725 oops, typo, thx. google says it’s spelled “Aynsley”
Such a gift 💖
Omg he is amazing
Irreplaceable Steve Perry! The Best!!❤
Steve Perry is girl crush perfection ❤
This will always and forever be my favorite Journey song. Sometimes it really feels like yesterday.
This song is an instant classic 🔥 👏 ✨ 🎵 👌 🙌
What a great live performance by a legendary band. But I can't get past Neil's hair though. 😁
His ‘fro had its own zip code.
@@benjaminperez7328LOL
Journey at their very best
Written in the summer of 1977 beautiful first song for journey with there new lead singer Steve perry 😊
Chills and tears...love this man so much.

Steve’s and Neal’s first collaboration. Wheeee
Meu Deus que música linda. Eu não canso de escutar Steve Perry. Só música boa. O brigada por compartilhar.

Love this man’s singing lot of love meaning love you Steve Perry
The Midnight Special was a great show... Man, this band takes me back. Back to good times and good friends....many that are sadly gone now.
God was truly showing off when he made steve perry ❤❤
Then he threw away the mold
The look on Steve's face at the end when he knows he nailed is just so sweet and pure.
Yes he nailed it
I love Steve Perry for ever ❤❤❤❤is the best voice ❤❤
Thank you so much for the upload... Ive been waiting for this clear video🥰
Wow i never heard this song before. Awesome Steve as always 🎶🎶🎵🎵🎤🎤🎸🎸🎵🎵❤
This is the most fabulous quality. They were so new as in newly big-time at that point.
When I here this song ,it is a prayer to GOD asking him for guidance
Steve is a hottie of the band group 🔥
The best!
That solo 😍 🎸 ❤
What a great song, lyrics, voice spirit in the music.
Great poetry and feeling uplifts humanity. It's so beautiful.
The first time I saw him and heard in 1980 I was in love and I still am.
I'm good with words, but can't find any to suffice.
Journey is my favorite rock band and always be.
Omg
No better voice than Steve Perry’s. Freddy Mercury not even close. I don’t know if Steve can hit the notes he once could but in his day no one come any close.

Steve's hair... ❤❤❤
This is still in my top 10,
I listen to this album 3 x a year
The best hands down
Used to watch this show all the time…real musician’s playing real music…no lypsyncing no auto tune & bands looking like bands…not my dads friends lol
