I love how steve goes on top and starts dancing in front of the journey logo. So cool love how he rocks out with the band. I'd call him the king of rock.
Kudos, for putting journey on the Midnight Special, they are in a class by themselves 🎉🎉. Steve Perry his vocals are unbiased 🎉🎉. He is authentic and real. He has a beautiful smile 🎉🎉. Journey just knows how to deliver on rock and roll 🎉🎉
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.
If there was ever a band that didn’t need to lip-synch to sound good, it is Journey. It can only have been a directive from the producers, but you’d think, at least, that they would have pre-recorded the song live before the show and mimed to that, but doing it to the record is bizarre. Fantastic song, of course.👏👏👏
I agree with you whole heartedly and I wish this wasn't a synced version. But this particular song might be difficult for them (the harmonies in particular) since it seems like a seldomly played live song. I think I've only seen 2 live versions of it. Sad because it's a favorite of mine
@@ronoh55 Hey, and thanks for your comment. 😁 Indeed, re the complex harmonies, it’s a fair point, mate. However, that’s kind of what I meant about them pre-recording it “live” before the show and either miming to that, or maybe keep the backing vocals on tape and play semi-live to that. It was a technique many bands used in the 70s, I think. It’s less jarring than seeing a band like Journey play to the record. Anyway, always great to see the band. A lovely rest of the week to you. 👍👍🤞
@@demonicsweaters I assume that they got a lot of requests for some of these. Some fans just want to see the young version of their favorites and accept it not being live.
I love classic journey!!!! It looks like they played it live the audience there! But had the track played for the tv audience! Cause they are playing live in house ! Space ace Ron ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Why they didn’t post the two videos together is a crime. It should be Lovin, Touchin’ and leads right into this video (the way they originally did it on MS)
This is the first time I’ve seen this video as of summer 2023. I’ve seen a lot of other Journey Midnight Special videos and I’ve seen Journey live maybe five times, I think with Perry - twice - Augery - once - and their latest singer once. At 0:38 it sounds like a flat to me which if so must be intended. It might be a mini-chromatic scale? I listened to it several times and that’s what my ear is hearing. But Journey was absolutely loaded with talent at this time. Their keyboard player - Rawley maybe? - left the band but he’s an excellent singer too although Jonathon Cain is really good too.
I believe they are performing with the original album music. I know that Steve could duplicate his voice live but this sounds exactly like the original version.
I love how steve goes on top and starts dancing in front of the journey logo. So cool love how he rocks out with the band. I'd call him the king of rock.
Nobody I mean nobody can hit notes like that..Steve is the greatest voice of rock
Love me some Steve Perry been a fan from the 70s until Steve left. 🙋♀️👍‼️‼️😊🙋♀️💟

This is great, and so clear. Best band ever!
This is one almighty band driven with passion the songs are incredible steve perry is out of this world
Neskutečný zpěvák s úžasným hlasem a velkým charisma ❤❤❤
THAT VOICE!!!!!!
I always waited for Midnight Special to come on when i was younger..❤️
I looked forward to every Saturday late-night episode. We didn't have videos! Other than concerts, this was how you got to see your favorite bands.
The quality of this is terrific & greatly appreciated!
It really is awesome 👏
SP………one of the greatest voices of all time❤

UNDERRATED! ME? Zappa is my fave but this band???????these guys kick some serious ass!
I just love Classic Journey! I seen them in 1983
Me too! My first ever show @ Joe Louis Arena in Detroit (with Bryan Adams)
@@positivelybobby sadly,the was the end of classic Journey.They added another member and sound changed.I never even bought raised on radio
I wish this was really live. It's weird how some of these MS videos seem like real performances, others are lip syncing.
There were more syncs in the last few years of the show and this is 1979.
@@MostlyBrenda that’s a shame. They really shouldn’t even upload these.
@@demonicsweaters I assume that they got a lot of requests for some of these. Some fans just want to see the young version of their favorites and accept it not being live.
@@MostlyBrenda true
I thought this show was live. Others like American Bandstand were not a
this is tv.... Mr.Perry is a phenomenal singer, pre recorded or not. This was still a trip into nostalgia. Ty 🤘
That album evolution was my first album from journey it’s awesome .
LOVE this song!

Eles conseguem ser melhores ao vivo. É incrível!
Steve is true angel
I always think it's weird to hear this not having just heard "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'." Saw this tour live, in Fort Wayne I think.
Your wish is now granted 😇: th-cam.com/video/fTkHFQC3wow/w-d-xo.html
Love this man

That's what I would have done. It's like separating "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions". Only 1 song a customer per day.
or ZZ Tops "Waitin' for the Bus / Jesus Just Left Chicago", lets split them up, even though they played them back to back in the video
This heresy has now been rectified 😉: th-cam.com/video/fTkHFQC3wow/w-d-xo.html
Ok, who would absolutely wear that outfit that Steve is rocking, today?! I would😎

Amazing
Steve is THE BEST!

From Santana, the lead guitarist and keyboards.
Totally PURE GOLD X
Awesome
There was, and is only 1 Steve Perry!!
Love the song! I hate the „no Pause“between! Evolution is on of a kind! Sry lousy english!😍
Hell yeah
whos here in October 2024?
I am. The GOLDEN VOICE!!
Wow! Backing track and pumped-in crowd noise. What is this a Kiss concert?
Kiss is limping across the finish line.
With wheeled walkers.
One of my favorite songs 😊😊❤
😎👍🇺🇸💪🥁💣🔊🎼STEVE!!!
I believe they are performing with the original album music. I know that Steve could duplicate his voice live but this sounds exactly like the original version.
2 more to go: "Just the Same Way" & "Too Late".
And "Lovin' You is Easy (Reprise)" during the credit roll but TMS probably won't release that because that my friends would be redundant.
Sweet and simple,Lady Luck,were also great Songs!🤘
Were they all from the same show?
@@StephanieJeanne Yeah, they did 5 songs + "Roadrunner" + they did "Lovin' You is Easy" a second time at the end of the show.
@@gregoryduncan3067 Wow! Were they hosting? Or was it just a few guests?

No Caddyshack Any Way You Want It?
So slim you'd think he's tall, but he's not. That's a 120 pound man, there.
shame they didnt opt for the Red Letters
I think they discontinued the neon letters after 1978.
Before Taylor Swift there was Journey !
This is tracks, not live at the time, compare it to the record, EXACTLY the same.
This song always reminds me of President Joe Biden. Thank you Journey and Joe Biden for this gorgeous music! 4 more years of Journey
Obviously no lip synced, the only people saying that are either really dumb, or just trollin
Such a waste. Why lip synch and back track?
agreed
Any number of possible reasons. Technical problems, Steve having a cold or sore throat, etc.
@@Chilly_Billy Nope. Not just Perry, but the whole band was recorded. Baffling and sad.
Drummer
Steve "Machine Gun" Smith.
johnas tonka truck
timothy brecht gives a fuck
john taberskis luck
FREDDY MERCURY
Its a milly vanilly performance lol
Are there any more King Crimson lives in your archives?
Horry shit, when was Ross on stage left?
I love how steve goes on top and starts dancing in front of the journey logo. So cool love how he rocks out with the band. I'd call him the king of rock.
