Wow, the Gregg Rolie days are in my opinion the best days of Journey. They were just getting their feet wet as a group and they were animals live! And c'mon, Steve singing to that girl....legend!!
I pretty much gave up on them after Dunbar got pushed out, but, yes, I agree with you
By now you've seen enough rock documentaries and rock star interviews to know, that's not part of the show, that's part of the life. She's there to get chosen, and he chose her.
@@BlackHatCinephileHe did the same thing to a girl in Germany. He ran his finger across his lips and said something to her.
@@dani_m10 Cool.
I agree!
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!
God I love him!!❤
No doubt
These folks had no idea they were in the presense of one of TOP musical groups in the history of the world. That's the truth.
I wasn't "in their" but I knew they were going to be great because my local rock radio was paying, Lights, Feeling That Way, Anytime, and Wheel In the Sky from their precious album, Infinity ", non stop.
I loved his cute way of flirting with the girls. He wasn't over the top, just a subtle flirt.
He will always be, The Voice! I hope he has as much happiness in life as he has brought all of us.
So cute! Lucky girl!
One of the best voices in rock music.....
The BEST
Yeah, I'd have to agree with that. Freddy was no slouch but different.
Faulous vocals and looks 😊
Steve Perry. The Voice. That is all.
That's what plummeted them into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
@@gregoryduncan3067 Plummeted? Ha! I suppose that is the correct word given the Rock Hall’s flaws and ridiculous omissions!
@@gregoryduncan3067 Rocketed
Steve’s face at 1:50 is cracking me up 😂😂
He looks like Jennifer Connelly a little bit 😮
Steve Perry looks and sounds too beautiful to be real💎I shall not recover from this one for a while🌠I may be ruint for the day😆
I totally agree and can relate to this. 😍
You're the ones who would go up to the stage to be chosen by the artists. She was gorgeous and he rolled right up to her, Steve's singing to her there and she's blushing cause her and Steve are gonna go get busy after the show. As everyone rolls their eyes cause we know what that means, lol. These current feminist destroyed that by gone era, lol.
@@MijoShrek He appeared to be making eyes at someone else on the other side before deciding on the brunette...funny stuff.
Ya know, TO THIS DAY, he's still gorgeous!!❤
@@rhikdavisprobably a dude
Finally, a decent copy of this excellent performance. Thanks a lot midnight special. Please keep them coming.
You mean a lip sync.
I saw this back on The Midnight Special in 1979. I was 26. I'm 70 now😅. Fell in love with his voice, eyes, & smile. ❤
Made a mistake🙅♀️🙅♀️🙅♀️🙅♀️
Hey Marilyn! 22, just found out who Steve is. I’m in love too!!!

Kudos,to the Midnight Special, for putting on amazing talent and showcasing groups that are simply the epitome of rock and roll 🎉🎉
Love this song and performance!
I don't think he's really singing! ❤️
It actually is de LP version @@SandraLyons-ii4fl
@@frankiewoodhouse2914 I had the 8, track .many years ago. He's right on it if he's not really singing. 🤔
lip synched.
Well Midnight Special was known for live only performances. If I had to bet, I'd say its live except for the ending chorus "Na na na"(sounds fishy) only because Steve Perry is one of the rarest singers who can sing as good if not better than the recordings.
Perry was so beautiful in every way❤
The groove is so good, I think I'm sweating. I don't even have to mention "the voice." I've been waiting on this one. Thanks TMS!
The girl in red in the corner, God's favorite✨
He was gorgeous and had great hair
Freaking magic. What a voice!
The voice
This performance is absolute perfection. In fact, this LIVE performance is the RECORDED version for radio play. He was INSANELY great. One in billions, Once in a lifetime level. We miss you SP!
Great Singer
I bet even Frank Zappa would've liked him because he is THAT good.
Thought that girl was going to 😢 when he sang to her she won't ever forget that moment. The Voice wow love his smile and energy.
I remember when this first aired, was really my introduction to Journey and it had me from the 1st note.
Here in 2024!!! His voice is absolutely brilliant! Such a beautiful man 😍
Steve makes me weak !😍
I think this is the same episode as the “Loving You Is Easy” clip. Both performances are canned, or lip synced. I’m not sure why this was as TMS was almost always live, and Journey themselves were in their previous appearance the year before. They certainly were entirely capable of reproducing their big studio sound live as other recordings attest.
I believe you're correct, kinda weird. If Journey were known for anything it was tour-hardened live performances filled with spontaneity.
I was thinking the same, wonder why?
yep it's easy to tell you the amount of harmony is going on at the end of the tune!
Maybe they were worried about the new cordless microphone failing on live TV? Or it could've been nothing more that Steve had a cold and would've sounded bad? Who knows?
That doesn't sound identical to the record to me. It sounds close, but not an exact match. Catch 22, the better you perform it, the more skeptical people get.
He sure did have eyes for that girl! Good for her.
God damn that dude could sing.
I wish that was me he was signing too🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Same
NAUGHTY STEVIE LOVE THIS SONG
This still kicks so much ass!
This is the video that made my heart melt when I was 16 years old. And now at 61 I can’t even begin to tell you what it does to me now. In fact, you wouldn’t want to know. I totally love that voice. It’s so beautiful. And the long hair I’ve always been crazy about his long hair and that drives me crazy.lol. And those looks he gives and the expressions on his face just blow me away. If there was ever a man-made, that was my ideal, looking man it is him. The first time I seen this video I was way too young but alas, I am human and he stole my heart that night. And he still has it. Some people would say I’m too old to feel this way. But I’m not, and I surely don’t feel old. This man’s personality, especially in this video is is so magnetic and totally 100% the sexiest I’ve ever seen in my life. Maybe it was a good thing. I was only 16 when I first saw it. Because I don’t went to every concert until I met him That’s how he much he affect me. There’s no way I can say enough about this video. There’s no way I can describe what I feel and always have. And I have always wanted one or him I just wish that I got that chance!!!! And I still want that chance. In my heart, he’s always been the love of my life.
Boy Steve Perry really turning on the charm for that chick on the side😄
Great days miss them
Steve just WOW!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Always loved this song. I had been listening to them since the Infinity album first came out. I remember the first time I heard it on a radio station.
Fantastic song!!
Happy Saturday.... thank you for sharing! 💖
It would have connected to "City of the Angels". The two songs went well together like "We Will Rock You" and We Are The Champions ".
It's one of their best songs, but I guess they couldn’t do it live. Oh well. Still, it was nice to see people standing and rocking to it. That chick he sang to enjoyed it for sure! 😄
They certainly could do it live and would do it great! Not sure why they didn’t on this appearance.
@@billymac72 yeah, I wonder if it was down to $$?
@@StephanieJeanne So hard to say…given the era, I wouldn’t think it was a dollars issue. It would be interesting to hear the explanation. Maybe they had an issue with the gear or weren’t allowed to sound check. Maybe Perry lost his voice the night before…could be a lot of things. The show broadcast on May 18 (don’t know when recorded) and Journey was in the midst of a major tour at the time where they performed this song nightly.
@@billymac72 Oh, I see. I guess that could be it, too. He'd definitely need to spare his vocal chords for the tour.
@@StephanieJeanne Maybe it was money in a sense. It might have been like a "commercial" and then you'd have to buy a concert ticket to hear the actual live rendition of it.
Damn his voice sounds like the record. 😮
it is the record lol, he's lip-syncing
@@commonwealthcommunitywatch6036 Gasp!
No
@@kamuelalee
No what?
The ultimate Journey lineup
Haven’t heard this one for decades! Memories galore! Thank you again TMS! Great quality videos that touch the heart and soul. You folks are the best! 🥰
Nessa época o journey era imbatível
Ainda hoje.
love Journey!
I agree!
At the PEAK of their powers!!
Perry on fire!!
Miss the midnight special
Great song!!!
That voice!!!!! Damn
Some of the comments say this is lip-synced. Sure does sound like the album version. A lot. I thought The Midnight Special prided itself on not doing lip-synced performances ... ?
I was around 13 when the show premiered. We all were spoiled back then -- live performances from some of the top bands of the day every Friday at midnight? Come on, man !!
But that aside, love the song and this performance. I wonder how much planned ahead it was for Perry to sing part of the song to that specific lady? Would not mind reading about her story.
The song was big on the radio. One of the funnest to sing along to in rock history. Who can resist belting out the "na na's" along with the band any time this song comes on? All 7 lines of 'em ?
Not lip-synced. I saw them on this tour in Houston and they sounded exactly the same.
@@NobodySpecial512 I don't know... 1:53 tells me otherwise
@@Genious. Could be. It would depend on how much that mic picked up when he moved it away.
It isn't even questionable. That is most definitely the album version that they are lip-synching to. I've heard it enough over the years to know. Besides, there's a distinct tonal difference between canned and live.
Yeah, it’s lip synced. It’s not a knock on Journey though because they were a great live act and at the peak of their powers in ‘79. There are plenty of vintage live clips online of this very tune that attest to this. In fact, the date this was broadcast, they were in the middle of playing five (!) nights at Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom. It was a huge tour and they played this every night. So, while TMS was usually live, there’s surely some explanation as to why this wasn’t. I could only guess, but maybe Perry blew out his voice or some other technical reason. It happens.
This is quite possibly my favorite Journey song ❤
What a groovy perfomance!! ❤
UNREAL!!!!!
Yep. Been waiting for this one too. Many thanks!
The 70's was only decade you could borrow your sisters shirt and no one would say anything.😂
🤣
Oh my my....doesn't get ANY better than this!!!! Thankful for this video for those of us unable to see them in person. ❤❤❤❤❤
Ooooh Steve ❤❤❤
Wow, Perry's voice was really strong back then
One of the best poll dancing songs...still. Ty gentlemen. 💌
Muito bom
What a great performance by Steve, you would not think he could top the Ambum, but he does while picking up a girl.
What's Ambum...
Damn. I hope I'm wrong but that really sounds like they're just miming along to the studio version. I thought that wasn't allowed on The Midnight Special.
❤
❤❤
Surreal performance and vibe!!!!!
Best singer on a journey in journey
Journey could, would and did play all of these songs live, and often it sounded better than the recordings. This was one of the rare times that the Midnight Special used a prerecorded track. My guess is that it was the show's decision and not the band's. Could have been for any number of production reasons, but this isn't a reflection on the band's capabilities by any means.
Yeah, that really bummed me out, honestly, when I realized it was canned.
Cool 😂😂😂😂
He sounds top of his game! Who's the girl!?
A groupie. She got picked.
Steve Perry live, no auto tune, pitch correction or anything else to make him sound amazing and poor Greg had to know his singing days in Journey were over
Why are they lip-synching? They were a solid band, they didnt need to do that.
Maybe they were concerned with those early cordless microphones failing during a live TV performance? Or possibly Steve had a cold and wouldn't have sounded good? Who knows.
It’s unfortunate. I’d like to think that they would have done a great live performance regardless of the reasons as to why someone chose not to do it live and for realsies.
@@Chilly_Billyhes performed with the flu before, regardless of sickness they wouldn’t need to lipsync. It’s usually the programs that have rules about that stuff. most likely journey had nothing to do with it
Usually logistical reasons. Just showing up in time from another town, equipment could be already heading to another show, always easier to just show up and fake it.
They were not.
Gotta love Steve Perry
Steve Perry class of 1
I'm sobbing over my brand new IPhone and will need to get another by tomorrow.
Lovin', Touchin' and Lip synching. lol. After watching MS from its beginnings every Friday. Bands used to play live. The last year or two it was all lip synch
Was it? I stopped watching the show around 1979. This definitely sounds like a lip-synced performance. But man did they do a good job with it. I'm sure it helped that the song ended with vocals only.
The show also seemed to rely heavily on music videos towards the end.
@@ericwalker8636 Yes they did. Then Solid Gold took over and really fucked things up! lol
It's a lip sync but I like it anyway.
I have to agree with you.
For me, it's all about nostalgia .
Thank you for sharing!
Have a wonderful day !
The Midnight Special didn’t allow lip syncing
@@lisachauvin Most of them were live but not 100%. I think it happened more often towards the latter part of the series than early on.
I see no evidence to support your accusation.
absolutely, anyone can see this very obvious.
I accidentally started this at 1.25 speed and I swear it sounds better that way.
Of course I had to try 1.25 & you're 100% correct!
Looks like some lady got lucky after the show. 😍
That's what the ladies were trying to do at The concerts back then. The babes would try and get right in front so they could get seen. And you'd see the singer look over and point the lady out for security and they'd nod.
Best!!!
😍😍😍
I heard that they were that good live. Not even a question... they are
❤❤❤
This is the greatest song to roller skate too...just sayin 8 p
The "na-na" song!
How is the sound on these so good from the 70's - amazing. I hope its not all lip synced
this is the audio from the studio record
I can’t stand this song, but this performance reminds me of my cousin and me cutting up a half pound, at his house, after we got off of the second shift at the mill. This was on the television. I had just gotten out of school for summer break, first check and we got the 1/2 lb.
Was that your weekly intake?

Well, it just doesn't get any better than that folks
Wish bands wouldn't lip sync.
Is that Sherri he’s singing to?
I hate this song moreso than any other, but I still had to watch it.
(:

Steve Perry is all you have to say
My dad always told me I'd marry a woman who looks like Steve Perry
I have always wondered if that girl is singing to you in the video is his baby mama. I also wonder if the blonde girl standing behind her is Gregg Rollie's wife( present wife) Lori
😎👍🇺🇸💪🥁💣🔊🎼STEVE!!!
Superhuman vocal ability. Hopefully his mood is only elevated by wacky weed. He probably got that girl he flirted with.
