Steve was nothing less than the GOAT. His accuracy and power never changed no matter where he went in his range. Just as good as in the studio if not better live. Phenomenal! Edit: I wrote that before watching, and you said the same thing about Steve live lol! Yes, Steve was incredible.
My brother, a musician, met Steve in an elevator years ago. He said they talked music and Steve took his time, didn't act like my bro was bothering him, was super nice and down to earth. Groovy singer/musician and human being 🎶🎵💚
In 2022 , this song was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry as being culturally , historically , aesthetically significant.
Steve is famous for sounding better live than in the studio. If you really want to hear the full breadth of how vocally talented Steve Perry is, you should check out the live version in this exact same concert in HOUSTON of the song 'Mother Father'. Then you will understand why music scholars in some of the best music schools in the country still study his voice to this day in an effort to understand how he could hit some the notes that he did. And by the way, a few months ago, Steve was voted as the best rock vocalist ever in a Billboard poll. He won the poll by a whopping 68%. And yes, Freddy Mercury was on that poll. So I guess I don't have to tell you that I'm a huge fan of this guy. Steve will be 75 in a few weeks and still performs occasionally. But mostly he's just enjoying life. The band Journey still performs to this day. Steve left the group in the late 80s/early 90s. And, I LOVE your beautiful smile. 😊😇
Steve is the Greatest vocalist of all time!!❤❤❤ watch Mother Father from the same concert PLEASE you will not regret it!! Steve Perry’s vocals in Mother Father are amazing and when he recorded it for the album he did it in 1 take. Also remember his voice is without any auto tune pure raw talent never a vocal lesson at all!
Journey is an American rock band formed in San Francisco in 1973 by former members of Santana, Greg Rollie keyboards and Neil Schon Guitarist. Greg was the first singer on the first albums until they found Steve Perry and that changed everything for the band. Greg left the band and the keyboards here is Jonathan Cain.
I love live performances! Going to concerts in the 70’s and 80’s I heard some of the best music ever produced! Great time to be young! The bands sounded even better in person than the studio versions. That’s what makes a great band. 💜👵🏼✌🏼
His parents, Mary Quaresma and Raymond Perry, are Portuguese immigrants from the Azores Islands. His father was a vocalist and radio station owner. His parents separated when he was eight, so he moved to Lemoore, California, with his mother. Sam Cooke's song 'Cupid' inspired him to become a singer.
My senior year of high school…one of my most memorable concerts at The Houston Summit. Journey had to be one of the best live bands on earth. So, I have a special connection to The Escape Tour and this concert. Seeing all of the people who’ve watched this makes my heart melt. I’m 61 and recall every minute 🤗🎼🤗
Steve Perry was 32 then, he is 75 now and still writing music. This is obviously a live performance without pre-recording help because of Steve’s ad-libs. Shout out to his sound engineers and the acoustics in this Dallas venue because even Steve Perry sounds better with help from that.
BEST SINGER EVER.....With the BEST musicians at the top of their game. If ANYONE contradicts this, ask them to better it....or show us where it has been bettered. Years of learning their trade, not like todays so called 'artist' !
The energy. And it was just about the music. No dancers, no pyrotechnics, just the music. The best rock and roll voice ever. Freddy Mercury wished he had the tone and the ease of Steve Perry's voice.
I went to this 1981 Escape Tour Concert but.... not in Houston. I went to an arena right outside of Pittsburgh PA. The energy was off the charts and Steve's voice never faltered!!! Great Reaction!❤
Rick Beato did a great analysis of this on his TH-cam channel as part of his What Makes This Song Great Series. He mentioned that they didn’t sing the title until 3:45 into the song. Most songs these days barely go past three minutes.
Steve may well have been the greatest rock vocalist of all time. But Freddie was the greatest rock front man of all time; his stage presence was off the charts.
Hands down the best live concert I ever went to was Journey in 1986 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. I was in the Army and stationed at Ft Dix NJ. Steve Perry live is better than any studio version you can find. He is the quintessential male Rock voice.
Powerful Performance ♥️. I caught this tour when they came through Chicago ♥️. Greatest Concert Ever ♥️. Steve definitely Captured the Soul of his Audience ♥️.
I recorded this concert when it aired on MTV… when MTV actually played music…still have the tape somewhere…. Also saw them live on this tour & a couple other tours…tickets cost like 8 bucks… lol
OMG OMG.. brings back such great memories for me.. I saw the Escape tour in 1983.. 16 yrs old (yes I'm old)... but what an amazing concert.. my very first concert in a big city.. (Philly)...the only other live performances I had seen were at my hometown Delaware State Fair... 90% country.. and yes.. still love my country music but I grew up in Hair Band era..
"Houston".... If you ever want to escape that city, I own 30 acres in the country Up-State N.Y. Come for a visit as my guest. Lots of opportunities here for a smart guy like you.
Journey is always a great choice to listen to. I just stumbled onto your videos today and am loving your reactions! Please react to some more KPOP. Loved your TWICE reactions (they're my favorite KPOP group.) I think you'll like Blackpink's "DDU-DU DDU-DU" and "Boombayah" as well as Red Velvet's "Automatic" and "Bad Boy".
Patty-I suggest you check out songs from their Raised on Radio concert tour 1986. I went to the Long Beach California performance. My heart still races when I hear any song from that tour.
Steve Perry is the best vocalist in the world with the voice of a God. His vocal range is amazing like no other and sang with such ease. Truly the best.
@PerrySteve-I am from CT. I love everything Steve has ever done and still is doing. My favorite will always be everything from his Journey days. His voice is like no other. He not only makes you hear the music he makes you feel it. The most amazing vocalist in the world. No auto tune needed because his voice is just that amazing. Will love him always.

Journey has so many great tunes, you can't go wrong with any of them. My personal favorite is "When The Lights Go Down" (link below). Would be great if you could react to that one. Thanks for another great reaction and song choice! ✌💙✌ When The Lights Go Down - th-cam.com/video/tNG62fULYgI/w-d-xo.html
FYI the only thing i dont like about this song is they dont know the city i was born, becuz anyone from Detroit would never say born in South Detroit, its east or west never north or south!!!
Just curious why your video keeps going n and out?Journey is amazing but the whole video would b nice.Not sure if there's a reason for it.great reaction though!

I absolutely agree with you!

Es el mejor sin duda
One of the most legendary live concerts ever recorded. From beginning to end, it's all fire!
One of the few singers who can actually sound better than the original studio version.
Steve is the Greatest vocalist of all time!!❤❤❤ watch Mother Father from the same concert PLEASE you will not regret it!! Steve Perry’s vocals in Mother Father are amazing and when he recorded it for the album he did it in 1 take. Also remember his voice is without any auto tune pure raw talent never a vocal lesson at all!
I second that ❤❤❤❤
Steve "The Voice" Perry, one of the best frontmen ever.
Journey is an American rock band formed in San Francisco in 1973 by former members of Santana, Greg Rollie keyboards and Neil Schon Guitarist. Greg was the first singer on the first albums until they found Steve Perry and that changed everything for the band. Greg left the band and the keyboards here is Jonathan Cain.
Actually Prairie Prince of The Tubes co-founded Journey with Greg then bailed.
He's perfection.
Check out Mother Father from this concert. His vocals are off the chain!!!
Steve Perry is a vocal beast please please check out Mother Father live in Houston and Wheel in the Sky live in Osaka the vocals are incredible
GOAT Voice!! Mr Steve Perry!! ❤❤❤Neil Schoen fantastic guitarist !!! Lots of phenomenal music !!
Stellar vocals n musicians
I love live performances! Going to concerts in the 70’s and 80’s I heard some of the best music ever produced! Great time to be young! The bands sounded even better in person than the studio versions. That’s what makes a great band. 💜👵🏼✌🏼
What a great time to be young. I saw this tour on it's ATL stop at the Omni when I was 19.
"Who's Crying Now" on that same tour is fire and has an incredible guitar solo!
His parents, Mary Quaresma and Raymond Perry, are Portuguese immigrants from the Azores Islands. His father was a vocalist and radio station owner. His parents separated when he was eight, so he moved to Lemoore, California, with his mother. Sam Cooke's song 'Cupid' inspired him to become a singer.
No auto tune, greatest singer ever
oh how I love Steve Perry and Journey !!!!
I was at this concert - I was 16 and he they sounded this good - awesome time for music
Glad to see a young man enjoying the music I grew up on. Steve Perry was The Voice.
Mother / Father should be next ! . It makes this performance look like childs play . Just an incredible vocal performance on Mother/ Father .
Check out the TH-cam video “Steve Perry before Journey” posted by Randy Lesley Music. His voice was amazing.
My senior year of high school…one of my most memorable concerts at The Houston Summit. Journey had to be one of the best live bands on earth. So, I have a special connection to The Escape Tour and this concert. Seeing all of the people who’ve watched this makes my heart melt. I’m 61 and recall every minute 🤗🎼🤗

ah , Jr. High School. This band was a chart topper!
Yes everyone in this band does excellent work 👍 all are top notch musicians 👍
This ❤ lineup of musicians is simply delightful, and with Steve's flawless VOICE , it's sheer concert heaven.
Patty- The guitarist, Neal Schon, played for Santana when he was just 15 yrs old.
Steve Perry is The GOAT. Still the man of my dreams ❤
Can't lose with Journey 😅
Listen to his live mother father from the same concert. Truly amazing .
if you've ever been to a sporting event. this was playing.
Saw them in Phoenix about this time. Maybe even this tour. Hard to remember now. Bryan Adams opened. It was phenomenal beyond expectation.
Fun listening with you. Much love ❤️ Sue!!
Steve is The GOAT.
Rick Beato did a great analysis of this on his TH-cam channel as part of his What Makes This Song Great Series. He mentioned that they didn’t sing the title until 3:45 into the song. Most songs these days barely go past three minutes.
He was known as the voice
IMO Steve Perry had the best voice in rock bands. Freddie Mercury of Queen comes in a close 2nd.
Steve may well have been the greatest rock vocalist of all time. But Freddie was the greatest rock front man of all time; his stage presence was off the charts.
@@roadkill7314 agreed
MAGICAL!!!!
I like the way you let the music play to the end before you comment. You are a true music lover.
Hard rocking n singing his heart out😂❤❤❤❤priceless masterpiece

(nuff said)

FYI the only thing i dont like about this song is they dont know the city i was born, becuz anyone from Detroit would never say born in South Detroit, its east or west never north or south!!!
Steven Perry es la mejor voz del mundo
There are no effects on that voice....or any others from that era
Steve Perry is a legend..his voice was liquid gold
All Hail Steve Perry !!!!! 😃😃😃😃😃💕💕💕💕💕💕
