I put 2 songs in the comments for you to listen to since you love Journey!! Both underrated!! People & Places & Precious Time!! YOU WILL BE AMAZED by the versatility, words of both songs!! Journey is so much more than the MS songs that were & are still popular. Don't get me wrong I love those songs too but there's others that are so good & for different reasons. Also check out Dixie Highway, for a fun upbeat w/ the jazzy/blues rock mix. On YT preformed in Osaka Japan 1980
God bless you brother! The way you describe Journey and why they're you favorite hit's the nail perfectly on the head. There's no one like Steve Perry. I was lucky enough to see this version of Journey live several times and they were epic. I completely agree with everything you said. You're doing great work. Peace.
Hey Devon, you need to hear the song lay it down from the escape album is the highest note Steve has ever hit. It’s beyond amazing and you’ll be blown away. Mother father is absolutely one of the best songs he’s ever sang, but this other one will blow your way as well. It’s a higher note than he’s hit on mother and father if you can believe that.
Just FYI. Neal Schon has said he loves his guitar solo in Mother Father the best. Steve’s voice is just in another stratosphere. Just angelic. Amazing! I have loved this band for 40 years. Timeless.
Michael Asay only once...1983. I will never forget it. I was forever changed by that concert. 3 sold out shows in my hometown. I was lucky enough to get a ticket...which I still have. I remember hearing Steve Perry singing live...all the songs I loved. He sounded amazing live. I remember thinking. I can’t believe I’m actually seeing my absolute favorite band live. Wow!!! There’s just something very special about this band. This group of guys. The music grabs my attention and doesn’t let go. I’ll be a fan for another 40 years.
Steve Perry is in a class of his own, his magical, emotional voice is amazing. I still listen to him every day. He is a legend! They were the greatest band when these guys were together.
This is a phenomenal performance by Journey and Steve's vocals take it to a new level. Jonathan Cain (keyboards) said that when they recorded this for their album, Steve did it in one take! That sounds fantastic, too but i love this live performance best.
Steve has always said that Mother Father was his most difficult song to sing live. It's so emotionally draining in living up to the expectation live as to what he laid down on record with this number one album per Escape and the touring schedule. One if the reasons Steve said he did little per touring via interviews etc. Saving his voice for the performance and his rituals per glycerin and other solutions used to preserve his vocals was necessary. We seem to think his talents are effortless but talents take work. Early on he expressed how a vocalist is so very different per the other musicians in a band and how if you are a guitarist and get calluses on your fingers it's a good thing, same with drumming but for a singer, if you get calluses or nodules on your vocal chords, you are finished as a singer. He was out of this world still is in a different key as a more mature artist.
Also, Journey didn't perform Mother Father in the whole Escape tour, only certain cities would treated to this song! There is another audio live performance of MF here on yt. I can't remember where it's at. I'll check my 'likes' and post it here for you if you'd like. The performance is good, but not as great as in Houston!! Just in my opinion!
Voice nodules DO NOT mean the end of a singer's career. Voice nodules are now treated by voice therapy which is a behavioral modification program for the voice.
Gibby, I am happy to report I saw a 19yr old kid wearing a Journey hoodie the other day; I asked him what his favorite song was, he said, "All of them !", I said, kid, your parents raised you right ! Much love, man ! Looking forward to your next Journey journey !
Me too it’s something to see a different generation listening to something I grew up on and appreciating it because the music is timeless it will be here way after I’m dead and gone
Saw them on their last tour with Steve as lead in ATL. When they performed this song everyone- including myself-were crying their eyes out. I was truly devastated. He is the forever OG lead of Journey.
Steve Perry is The Goat! The Voice! The Legend!!! So glad to see the "youngins" lovin on "our band"!!! I'm pushin 60 and let me tell you it was HELL living through waiting for their new music to come out back in the day!! YOu guys get to hear it all now!! There are leads singers that jump around more and bands that have all kinds of "props" but all that man had to do was stand up there and SAAANNGGG!!!!!! I STILL get goosebumps listening to him!!! Thanks for the reaction Dev!!!! LOVED it!! When you started looking for the Angels! LOL I lost it!!!! LOL
Steve is an awesome, amazing singer. No one can ever come close to what he can do with a song. Journey back then was. Steve Perry -Lead singer, Neal Schon-Lead Guitar, Ross Valory-Bass, Steve Smith-Drums and Jon Cain- Keyboards and Guitar.
He sounds like a singing ANGEL…..OMG🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😳😳😳😳😳😳🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣 Can you imagine….God yelling Steve get back up here….❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏 Your reaction….PRICELESS…🙏🙏❤️
Man there is more of Jonathan on the keyboard. It is a extended part you need to listen to it Steve Perry recorded that on the first time. Love Steve Perry.🥰😛💋🦋
I'm one of the many that requested "Mother Father" so thank you for your terrific reaction! If you'd like to hear another awesome live performance check out "Still They Ride" from Tokyo, Japan 1983.
So loving watching your reactions to Steve Perry and Journey. Steve’s voice is absolutely flawless and pitch perfect. You definitely need to react to Why Can’t This Night Go on Forever from the Raised on Radio Tour. It’s such a beautiful song and absolutely highlights why Steve is known as the “Voice!” Enjoy♥️
Devin, I believe you hit the nail right on the head!!! When you said.....'Steve left his MARK'!! So very true! I am a faithful Classic Journey fan!!! NOW react to the studio version of Mother Father, you can't really tell the difference! If you haven't react to 'Who's Cryin' Now and Escape!' from the Houston concert! If you want other Classic Journey concerts to react to check out 'I'm Cryin' from Japan 1980. Now talk about a performance!!!!! The camera work isn't good but the performance is breath taking!!!!
Steve Perry is my ultimate vocalist, next to Karen Carpenter. And Journey is my fav classic rock band EVER. I also admire Brad Delp(may he R.I.P) from Boston. Another phenomenal LIVE voice managed by Tom Scholz. Their first album Boston w/More Than a Feeling LIVE is off the charts incredible. There isn't one bad track on the Boston album. I still jam out in my car and house parties with Boston. Love your energy, attitude, and how you light up having fun Devin. You are my fav 'REACTION' person. Keep rockin bruh. Cheers!
Journey! Journey! They were the first band I ever saw in concert and man, did they set the bar high. Steve Perry's voice is just amazing. I always feel it right in the heart. Please do more Journey, Devin! "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'," "Stone in Love, " "Any Way You Want It, " and the live version of "Feelin' That Way" and "Anytime" from the Midnight Special in 1978!!
Quite possibly in the top 5 live performances. Such joy watching your reaction. Yes, it’s that good. When you said you were expecting something really good, I just grinned.
Angelic,powerful…I could keep writing- clearly you get it with this band. Steve- he’s ridiculously good- I saw this tour in 81’ I’m 59 - they did this about 1/2 way thru- I cried spontaneously just tears runnin’…..as a vocalist myself- so glad I heard this pitch accuracy live….5 concerts from 81-86…every show just as good.❤️🎼❤️
Steve put out newer albums , last was in I think 2015. His wife made him promise not to lock himself away after the cancer took her. He honored the promise. I leaned this from an interview.
Steve is one of those very talented singers. It is NOT easy singing his songs, that is because I think he has had some classical training, or just a natural talent. The power he is putting into his voice is not easy to achieve, especially with the high notes he is singing. It is just as impressive as the Disney song "Into the Unknown", or the Great Showman song "Never Enough". He is singing at that level of technique. What he is doing is very hard to achieve when you have to NOT tense your throat at all to accomplish it, you can not even tighten the muscle under your chin, which is easier said than done when hitting those types of notes. He is one of a kind.
Was there front row hearing and seeing this amazing song 🎵. Watching your reaction was like hearing it again for the first time. Thank you for being real!!
That is so awesome!!! Love that you were front row. Takes us back in time. We were so lucky that this was our generation’s music on the radio or Sony Walkman headphones everyday.
Since you love Journey & I've loved them from the moment I heard them back in 77-78! You HAVE TO hear People & Places & Precious Time!! Both of these songs are underrated & People & Places is the only song that Neal Schon sings as lead (at the beginning of the song), the harmonies (echoes) is INCREDIBLE & of course the words are meaningful. Precious Time is OUTSTANDING with it's patriotic words & the feel of blues/rock, the harmonica that Gregg Rolie plays is amazing!! You can find them on YT preformed in Osaka Japan 1980! The overwhelming God given talent of Journey is still being appreciated today!!
Steve’s runs are amazing , it’s more than the high notes ! Arnel can’t do what Steve did & neither could the others that have tried , although along came Castranovo & he handled his vocal duties filling in quite nicely ! Steve Smith was an amazing drummer with Journey & once again Deen came in & handled that role nicely ! I hope Deen’s better now for I understand that struggle & yes , Journey’s sound & technique is second to none ! Neal is Neal & Jonathan Caine can’t be replaced & true to my love for music & Journey in particular the 1981 show in Houston is probably the best live show ever recorded for those boys were tight as can be on that night & the best way I can put it is “ they were cookin “ that night @ The Omni !
Journey has marked so much of my life the good and also the bad- this is also my favorite band and I will take their music with me for as long as I remain here on earth!
I love your positivity and your faith. This is a positive but painful expression and I've lived this song from the parent side and I will spend the rest of my life trying to keep my kids good. You are awesome! Thank you and thank God!
Devin! I was indulging in an 80’s music TH-cam binge when i came across your reaction video. It’s wonderful to see a younger generation enjoying this amazing music. Like many others here, I was fortunate enough to see Journey live. Such a wonderful time in life. YOU, however, are a gem. I adore your reaction and the enthusiasm you bring. I enjoy it so much I may need to watch your videos every morning for a dose of inspiration and joy….things this crazy world seems to have a shortage of these days. Bravo, my friend. Thank you! ❤👏👏👏
😲👌 Mother, Father has always been to pinnacle of that Album. I bought the album about a month after it came out. Though this song was the last featured, I never would tire of listening to it. SO MUCH passion into it
I remember falling in love with Steve Perry... it was when MTV first started... the video was separate ways... the second I first saw him I was in love....I already loved journey but had never actually seen him
Devin try to listen to the whole song. Johnathan Cain plays an end piece to this song that is just amazing. Neal knocks this solo out of the park. I think the band was at its best as all of them where superb in this song. Steve is my all-time favorite singer, there just isn't anybody that can match his vocal talent, high notes, ease of chest to false Seto transition, clarity and vocal range. Steve is also able to hit higher notes than this one he hit in this song, believe it or not. I love this man. He is THE VOICE!!!
The video is way too small up in the left corner, but yes, his vocal cords at the end are unbelievable! He will always be what made Journey what they are today. Goosebumps is all I can say
WOW...WOW...Steve's vocals are nothing less than Extraordinary, He's always great but this is just a bit above and Neil's guitar work is great too along with some nice drum work...Oh. but those chops of Steve Perry!!
Most of the songs on Raised on Radio are hidden gems: Eyes of a Woman, Happy to Give, Once You Love Somebody- and yes Why Can't This Night is a terrific heartfelt song where Steve's vocals just soar!
I'm 55 I was 11 fist Journey song was 'Lights ' ironic I grew up in Maryland little town called Chesapeake Beach and have been a fan for life there music for through life and still does!🎙🎸🎹🥁
@@DevinReacts try stung out by steve perry. Oh I’ve watched your reaction on beetles and i love it. Steve perry with journey and the beetles are my favorite band in the world.
I was there!!! You can’t put into words the gift of his vocals and the show as a whole. Still have my shirt!! Had to sneak out to go and a little white lie lol. But so glad to say I saw that!!! Videos don’t do it justice!!!
Dude!!! Great reaction. I grew up listening to this music. Journey is in my top 5 bands. I consider myself really fortunate to have grown up in this era. Saw Journey 4 times & each concert was EPIC. Steve Perry vocally is the G.O.A.T.
I love your message! Journey provided and still provides inspiration to all who will listen. They always maintained positivity in a crazy world and it stands the test of time and inspires.
The lead guitar player, Neal Schon, started as a guitar player for Santana when Neal was just 17 yrs of age. This is truly one of their most amazing songs. My first Journey album was NEXT from 1977...this singer was not yet in the band. The following year, 1978, Steve had joined Journey and they recorded and released the album; Infinity. What a transformation Steve made on Journey. Listen to anything pre-INFINITY and you'll hear what I mean.
Dude - glad you listened to us all - that song's live performance is Journey's best live song that exists that I'm aware of. I cannot stay away from your channel. Your love and enthusiasm of music, cheer and life in general is so infectious and dare I say a guiding light in the darkness these last few years have been. I would recommend one more from that Houston show: Send Her My Love penultimate just means next to last - which is saying it was the song before their finale. Neal pronounces last name: "Shone". Other great songs that just soar with his vocals: Still They Ride, Why Cant this Night Go On Forever, Happy to Give, Patiently for a little different sound do: Castles Burning (newer song - very upbeat and aggressive), and Baby I'm Leaving You (kinda of a reggae sound).
OK now you really have to hear "Lay it down"(album version)by Journey...don't think they performed it live too much. When you hear it you'll know why...absolutely CRAZY vocals by Steve...very difficult to perform live on a regular basis....but amazing!

Saw then 4 times...u?

Aliens should always be introduced to human music listing to this masterpiece...
@@michaelasay8587 with Steve Perry?
Steve Perry is in a class of his own, his magical, emotional voice is amazing. I still listen to him every day. He is a legend! They were the greatest band when these guys were together.
i'm a longtime fan of Journey and steve perry. there is NONE like him in music
Steve Perry turns 74 years old today. Go listen to the isolated vocals!! 🎉
This is a phenomenal performance by Journey and Steve's vocals take it to a new level. Jonathan Cain (keyboards) said that when they recorded this for their album, Steve did it in one take! That sounds fantastic, too but i love this live performance best.
One of my favs… the vocals are amazing
This has always been one of my favorites from the Escape album, along with Still They Ride!! Both songs are truly amazing!!
Crazy vocals live
Mother, Father simply grips your soul.... Sings it like it is....Have Faith Believe.... Whew, I'm exhausted
One of the best live performances of all time. Journey at his best. The Real Journey!
You can play Steve’s vocals a trillion times over, JUST CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THAT VOICE 😭
That is very true! 😊

Steve Perry's ending High Note on Mother Father - Is The Topping On The Cake With An Exclamation Point !!
Espectacular!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
The Bee Gees and Journey are the greatest bands of all time!!
Journey is my fav also. Love your shirt.

Dude is an actor.. Fake AF trying to capture the love of boomers.
I love seeing younger folks discovering, enjoying the music I grew up on and love.
Me too
Me too it’s something to see a different generation listening to something I grew up on and appreciating it because the music is timeless it will be here way after I’m dead and gone
one of the best vocal performances ever....
No, it’s *the* best ever. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
He’s awesome
I was 13 in 1981 and was discovering the greatness. 3 years later i saw journey and its one of those life moments
Saw them on their last tour with Steve as lead in ATL.
When they performed this song everyone- including myself-were crying their eyes out. I was truly devastated. He is the forever OG lead of Journey.
THANK YOU! !! Love Steve " the voice " Perry ❤ 🎵 🎤 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Steve Perry is The Goat! The Voice! The Legend!!! So glad to see the "youngins" lovin on "our band"!!!

Thanks for the reaction Dev!!!! LOVED it!! When you started looking for the Angels! LOL I lost it!!!! LOL
Journey's music with Steve Perry is an emotional experience. To this day they can't top top this line-up!
Steve is an awesome, amazing singer. No one can ever come close to what he can do with a song. Journey back then was. Steve Perry -Lead singer, Neal Schon-Lead Guitar, Ross Valory-Bass, Steve Smith-Drums and Jon Cain- Keyboards and Guitar.
He sounds like a singing ANGEL…..OMG🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😳😳😳😳😳😳🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣
Can you imagine….God yelling Steve get back up here….❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Your reaction….PRICELESS…🙏🙏❤️
Simply A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!
I saw them do this song on that tour. That last line……when Steve Perry did that it felt like an Angel was in the building.
My #1 song of Journey. He is the Voice.
never heard this one before, LOVE it
My Favorite Journey song! SO much emotion....
You missed the piano solo at the end. And yes, Journey is amazing!
Man there is more of Jonathan on the keyboard. It is a extended part you need to listen to it Steve Perry recorded that on the first time. Love Steve Perry.🥰😛💋🦋
I'm one of the many that requested "Mother Father" so thank you for your terrific reaction! If you'd like to hear another awesome live performance check out "Still They Ride" from Tokyo, Japan 1983.

Devin, I believe you hit the nail right on the head!!! When you said.....'Steve left his MARK'!! So very true! I am a faithful Classic Journey fan!!!
NOW react to the studio version of Mother Father, you can't really tell the difference!
If you haven't react to 'Who's Cryin' Now and Escape!' from the Houston concert!
If you want other Classic Journey concerts to react to check out 'I'm Cryin' from Japan 1980. Now talk about a performance!!!!! The camera work isn't good but the performance is breath taking!!!!
THANK YOU for naming the other band members; they are often overlooked.
Yes Devin, there are other greats out there but I agree with you, Journey is the greatest of 'the greatests' 😊
Steve Perry is my ultimate vocalist, next to Karen Carpenter. And Journey is my fav classic rock band EVER. I also admire Brad Delp(may he R.I.P) from Boston. Another phenomenal LIVE voice managed by Tom Scholz. Their first album Boston w/More Than a Feeling LIVE is off the charts incredible. There isn't one bad track on the Boston album. I still jam out in my car and house parties with Boston. Love your energy, attitude, and how you light up having fun Devin. You are my fav 'REACTION' person. Keep rockin bruh. Cheers!
This entire album is phenomenal and vocals on this song 🎵 is fire 🔥
Journey! Journey! They were the first band I ever saw in concert and man, did they set the bar high. Steve Perry's voice is just amazing. I always feel it right in the heart.
Please do more Journey, Devin! "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'," "Stone in Love, " "Any Way You Want It, " and the live version of "Feelin' That Way" and "Anytime" from the Midnight Special in 1978!!
I never get tired of listening to Steve Perry. What a blessing he was given and are we not all blessed to share in his journey in life!
When you see Perry taking the mic away from his face ... that's what it looks like when you give your soul to a song!!
I was 11 years old and at that show. My Mom and Sister couldn't find a babysitter and bought me ticket from a scalper. Classic!
Greatest male performance of all time. So much emotion, look at Steve's face at the end, he looks like he just ran a marathon
Quite possibly in the top 5 live performances. Such joy watching your reaction. Yes, it’s that good. When you said you were expecting something really good, I just grinned.
Steve always had some insane vocals.
Amen 🙏 I discovered Journey about a year ago, I was 3 years old in 81..but man loved your reaction ❤ I was on the floor.
That made me so happy on this Monday. One of my favorite Journey songs. Thank you!!!! Love your reactions.
Dude, Neal Schon played with SANTANA as a teenager.
Amen Brother Journey was my band still is nothing like it!! Preach the love of Christ !!
Angelic,powerful…I could keep writing- clearly you get it with this band. Steve- he’s ridiculously good- I saw this tour in 81’ I’m 59 - they did this about 1/2 way thru- I cried spontaneously just tears runnin’…..as a vocalist myself- so glad I heard this pitch accuracy live….5 concerts from 81-86…every show just as good.❤️🎼❤️
I've always loved this song, but all these years I did not know that was Steve Perry singing at the end. I am beyond amazed.
Steve put out newer albums , last was in I think 2015. His wife made him promise not to lock himself away after the cancer took her. He honored the promise. I leaned this from an interview.
Steve is one of those very talented singers. It is NOT easy singing his songs, that is because I think he has had some classical training, or just a natural talent. The power he is putting into his voice is not easy to achieve, especially with the high notes he is singing. It is just as impressive as the Disney song "Into the Unknown", or the Great Showman song "Never Enough". He is singing at that level of technique. What he is doing is very hard to achieve when you have to NOT tense your throat at all to accomplish it, you can not even tighten the muscle under your chin, which is easier said than done when hitting those types of notes. He is one of a kind.

One of if not the best live performances of all time.
Perfect performance in every way (Frontiers B-side). And it is.
I can watch Steve sing this song everyday.
Steve’s runs are amazing , it’s more than the high notes ! Arnel can’t do what Steve did & neither could the others that have tried , although along came Castranovo & he handled his vocal duties filling in quite nicely ! Steve Smith was an amazing drummer with Journey & once again Deen came in & handled that role nicely !

Deen can’t do that ending though that Steve did. He does the best cover of the song.
Journey has marked so much of my life the good and also the bad- this is also my favorite band and I will take their music with me for as long as I remain here on earth!

Anyway You Want It live in Houston and She Walks Like a Lady live in Osaka 1980. Both are great performances! 🎶🙂🎶🙂
The video is way too small up in the left corner, but yes, his vocal cords at the end are unbelievable! He will always be what made Journey what they are today. Goosebumps is all I can say
Devin, new to your channel; love your reactions. Subscribed :)
WOW...WOW...Steve's vocals are nothing less than Extraordinary, He's always great but this is just a bit above and Neil's guitar work is great too along with some nice drum work...Oh. but those chops of Steve Perry!!
They are my favorite. React to Why Can’t This night go on forever!!! It’s a hidden gem.
Also Something to hide.
Most of the songs on Raised on Radio are hidden gems: Eyes of a Woman, Happy to Give, Once You Love Somebody- and yes Why Can't This Night is a terrific heartfelt song where Steve's vocals just soar!
I'm 55 I was 11 fist Journey song was 'Lights ' ironic I grew up in Maryland little town called Chesapeake Beach and have been a fan for life there music for through life and still does!🎙🎸🎹🥁
Die hard Journey fan this is my absolute favorite song!!!!
powerful song
Very well said brother very well said👌🏼
Much appreciated!
@@DevinReacts try stung out by steve perry. Oh I’ve watched your reaction on beetles and i love it. Steve perry with journey and the beetles are my favorite band in the world.
Steve Perry could sing the phone book and it would be awesome!!
Listen to Winds of March, from the Infinity album. 1978..you havent heard anything like this ! Steve hits it out of the park!!!!
Definitely one of their best tunes, a deep cut!!
Something to Hide first. His vocals at the end: wow! It transitions to Winds of March beautifully.
I was there!!! You can’t put into words the gift of his vocals and the show as a whole. Still have my shirt!! Had to sneak out to go and a little white lie lol. But so glad to say I saw that!!! Videos don’t do it justice!!!
Steve Perry the best Malé voice ever no doubt about MR STEVE PERRY
Thank you man. You will never know how much you helped me through the worst time of my life. Gods love to you xx
You have to check out "Girl Can't Help It" Official video!!
Dude!!! Great reaction. I grew up listening to this music. Journey is in my top 5 bands. I consider myself really fortunate to have grown up in this era. Saw Journey 4 times & each concert was EPIC. Steve Perry vocally is the G.O.A.T.
I love your message! Journey provided and still provides inspiration to all who will listen. They always maintained positivity in a crazy world and it stands the test of time and inspires.
The lead guitar player, Neal Schon, started as a guitar player for Santana when Neal was just 17 yrs of age. This is truly one of their most amazing songs. My first Journey album was NEXT from 1977...this singer was not yet in the band. The following year, 1978, Steve had joined Journey and they recorded and released the album; Infinity. What a transformation Steve made on Journey. Listen to anything pre-INFINITY and you'll hear what I mean.
Actually he was 15 when he joined Santana
JOURNEY: "Winds Of March" "Something To Hide" "Patiently" "Sweet And Simple" "Where Were You?" "Lovin' You Is Easy" "Edge Of The Blade" and MANY more!
Simply can’t sing better than that. It’s science.
I agree with you Devin 🙋🏼♀️
Hey Devin, Blessings of the day...Another amazing song by Journey...Thank you so much for great Blast from the Past...Peace
Dude - glad you listened to us all - that song's live performance is Journey's best live song that exists that I'm aware of. I cannot stay away from your channel. Your love and enthusiasm of music, cheer and life in general is so infectious and dare I say a guiding light in the darkness these last few years have been.
I would recommend one more from that Houston show: Send Her My Love
penultimate just means next to last - which is saying it was the song before their finale.
Neal pronounces last name: "Shone".
Other great songs that just soar with his vocals: Still They Ride, Why Cant this Night Go On Forever, Happy to Give, Patiently
for a little different sound do: Castles Burning (newer song - very upbeat and aggressive), and Baby I'm Leaving You (kinda of a reggae sound).
Journey. Is. THE. Best!!!!
OK now you really have to hear "Lay it down"(album version)by Journey...don't think they performed it live too much. When you hear it you'll know why...absolutely CRAZY vocals by Steve...very difficult to perform live on a regular basis....but amazing!
On the Escape tour, Steve would not do this song back to back nights as it did strain his voice. Neal's solo on this was fantastic.
Beautiful
Sin palabras!!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Best journey song ever Lovin touchin squeezing
And God bless you!
Fantastic
The voice and Journey are in my top 5.
