One of the greatest Rock Vocalists of all times, and probably The Cleanest Rock Vocalist of all times
one of the greatest singers of all times (regardless of genre) and in my opinion the best ballads singer ever
And this was live!!!!
Yessss Journey. Steve Perry’s voice is like liquid Gold 🤩
Facts!!!
One of the greatest voices ever ...
Steve perry's voice is from another level!
It’s effortless, it’s emotional and it’s no AutoTune. It’s Steve Perry and he knocks it out of the park every time.
He's not called The Voice for nothing ♥️♥️♥️ How his voice moves me 💕
Steve Perry is truly amazing! I’m 100% a diehard Journey fan. I have loved this band for 40 years. No one compares or comes even remotely close to Steve’s range and vocal abilities. Pure perfection. I never...NEVER get tired of their timeless music. Thank you for such a heartfelt reaction Hap...we feel the same way.
Bon Jovi said he s d Voice..
Brian May said he s one n a million voice..
Randy Jackson said he s d golden voice..
Kenny loggins said he was blown away when he heard Perry performed live❣️
Telling a story with his voice is Steve Perry's special gift.
My understanding about Steve is when he loved he did so with his whole heart so when he sang love songs it was genuine.
He is a Drummer so he meshes very well with the Drums. Nobody does a better love song than Steve, he puts his heart and soul into every song he sings and this song just shows you why he is the Voice.🎼❤️🇦🇺❤️🇬🇧🕺🏻💃🎸☘️
Best reaction video regarding Steve Perry I’ve ever seen! Thanks mate!
Absolutely flawless.
I was at this very concert when I was 13 years old...what a great night that was! And, you can't imagine how huge this song was at the time. "Open Arms" was played at every Jr. High and High School dance across the country that year. The decade of the 80's was a great time to be a teenager!
I'm the most jealous of every thing ever
Steve Perry is an amazing rock vocalist.
Steve is one of the best singers ever
To be able to do that so effortless, concert after concert....IS incredible!!!! That's why we LOVE STEVE PERRY & JOURNEY!!!!😉👍❤️
MY Favorite love song ever OPEN ARMS
Love Steve's voice 😍❤
He was a drummer. So of course he feels the rhythm
Perry was the drummer once before?
@@HAP3SPEAKZ I don’t think he ever played drums in any professional bands. He always focused on his singing, but yeah, he’s a drummer and he knows what he wants as a drummer. After the Infinity album (the first Journey album he was on) he wanted the drummer fired because Ansley Dunbar was more of a jazz/fusion drummer and wanted to push the song, but Perry wanted a more groove drummer who laid back a bit more. That’s when they hired Steve Smith. He also plays bass when he writes.
In my opinion it’s one of there best. It’s amazing how many great bands & solo artists there were in the 70’s & 80’s. 🔥
I saw them live with Steve Perry. Phenomenal!
My sister got married in the 90s she put my in charge of the music for her to walk down the isle!! So she walk down the isle to this song!!!!
Doesn't matter how many times I hear this song.... especially this live version...I still get chills. Definitely touches the very soul. As a group the song is well rounded... but the magic is the very heart and soul of Steve's vocal performance and energy...
I love the way it captured you, Hap....priceless. ha
😎✌❤🤘
Steeve Perry is just fabulous !! Hélène from France 🥰
The journey Man legend perry forever The Golden voice The Big one oregenality absolutely amazing man The Best perry anymore promise ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That was a great reaction. You captured what we all think about Steve Perry. Thank you. Beautiful song . I still love you Steve Perry.
Journey is my favorite group and open arms is my favorite song
An absolutely beautiful song, sung by yes, the heart and soul man himself STEVE PERRY! this is the song that could convey it all to someone! that is in one's heart and soul. very deep and emotional! Thanks Hap that was a extremely heart-felt awesome reaction!! 💜💜💜🎶🎵
Appreciate that 🔥🔥🔥
You've only scratched the surface, my friend.
This song...Steve's voice...nothing on the planet can ever match his voice.
My favorite singer, simply a gift!
Truly BEAUTIFUL!!!
Saw Journey twice...
He Really is Fantastic!!
Try a song called Faithfully
It will BLOW Your Mind
This is known as the greatest love song ever! You said it!!!
His voice is just absolutely beautiful.
May I suggest reacting to loving, touching squeezing
His voice is truly timeless. He makes it seem so easy. Their songs are timeless also! I think every wedding I've ever attended has had Journey songs on the DJ's playlist. Thank you HAP. Great reaction.
Hard to believe in 1982 this song only reached #2 on the US Billboard hot 100 and stayed there for six weeks...The 2 songs that prevented it from reaching number 1 were Centerfold by J. Geils band and I Love Rock and Roll by Joan Jett. VH1 placed it at #1 on their 25 greatest power ballads list.
The reason why I am a die hard fan and why so many others are is because we grew up listening to them and have special memories. Plus, without a doubt one of the greatest vocals I've ever heard...
It’s even harder to believe that don’t stop believin didn’t do well at all on top 40. It’s bigger today than back when it came out
Steve perry is 72 now and still has that beautiful voice!! 😍
I laughed out loud when you said, "blimey." So British.
The best voice I've ever heard.
Greatest rock vocalist ever.
Makes me cry 😢
Great choice , Jill! 🌷
Thanks Deni! It holds great meaning for me💕
Open Arms is one of Journey's best love songs along with Faithfully. Jonathan Caine and Steve Perry were the primary writers on both of those. Steve always said one of the most vocally challenging Journey songs he ever did was one called Mother, Father.
Oh, and "lovin, touchin, squeezin ", by Journey
Steve Perry's voice is a treasure 😁love journey and been to 3 of their concerts 😍sounds just like the Radio👏👏👏
My all time favorite
This has been one of my favorite songs for more than forty years, and it still draws me in.
Yes...it Is one of the greatest love songs ever! They don't call him "The Voice" for nothing! He's in the top 2 of all time singers...the other is Elvis. Imho
The greatest music speaks for you.
That is perfection
Patty-I think you might like one pf his solo songs called missing you. That one almost the listener in tears.
Love this song and Steve Perry ❤️❤️❤️
#1in my book💞💓💗😍🥰😘🇵🇷
Steve biggest influence was Sam Cooke and Motown. Please check out earlier live performances from Osaka Japan concert in 1980, Walks Like Lady, Lights, Stay Awhile, Dixie Highway, Lovin Touchin Squeezin, I'm Cryin, Line of Fire, Too Late.. Steve can rock. It's not just ballads.
Loving touching squeezing yes yes an awesome song or another awesome song by Journey. Send her my love open arms loving touching squeezing and separate ways Worlds Apart are my favorites if I really had to count them. Separate ways is lyrically beautiful but the band and musicianship is INCREDIBLE! If the musical instrumental part alone doesn't grab somebody the lyrics definitely do it
I love Journey., especially Steve Perry. I love this song!. Thank you HAP3SPE.
Earlier today I listened to someone else sing this song. I stopped it 1/2 thru. It wasn't even close. There is Steve Perry and no one else with this beautiful song and you did it justice.
My first time hearing this song and i absolutely loved it !!! Thanks for your wonderful reaction Hap ❤
Heavy Metal midnight showing. Girl walks in and disrobes. Guy in the back yells "Sure doll!". What would life be without music and memories?
Live! All that needs to be said.
I read the other band didn't want to this song but Steve got his way and it became one of the bands biggest hits!!
I've read rankings lists and on many Open Arms is the #1 ballad of all time.
A great way to cross from words to hearts, it really opens mine. Great feeling Hap….👍
I am so blessed to have grown up listening to Steve Perry with Journey!!! ❤️❤️❤️
What an amazing reaction Hap.💕🎶 This was played at my wedding and again at my husband's funeral, and a thousand times in between.. yes, it was "our song". One of the greatest love songs ever. Yesterday was his birthday and seemed a fitting tribute.❤ To me, this is Journey at their best. The official lyric version is actually better, due to some additional vocal inflections. It absolutely gives me chills every time I hear it. No one can sing this song, like Steve Perry. He is incomparable. Peace J ✌ ☮
@HAP3SPEAKZ. The catalogue is still very deep and deserves more exploration. While I am a fan of the popular "Don't Stop Believin", some of their other tracks are deserving of attention...when time permits, such as "Stay Awhile" and "Be Good to Yourself" Thanks Hap 🎶
I had no idea it was his birthday when the video dropped. What a coincidence. A very deep and meaningful song I think we all agree on. I certainly will ascertain to do more Journey reactions in the future. Thank you.
@hap3speakz
Be Good To Yourself would be a great follow-up to Open Arms

Love this song so much. Steve Perry shows incredible range here. His voice is a gift from God❤! His singing is absolutely beautiful.
One of my favorites
This song always makes me cry.....
Although Steve Perry is synonymous with Journey, the whole band line-up during this era are extremely accomplished. Guitarist Neil Schon started his career at FIFTEEN with Santana! Jon Cain was with The Babys, Ross Valory from Montrose, and Steve Smith is considered one of the most talented, versatile drummers of his time, able to play absolutely any genre. One of his biggest fans was none other than Rush's Neil Peart. Nuff said.
This man is iconic
LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!!!!
Please review Who's Cryin Now from this same concert. Steve is a drummer. Notice he always goes to the drum kit to start a song. Drums are his happy place. If he could have run all over the stage and drum at the same time, he would have been one happy man😄
That song was out my junior year in high school. What a voice. Great band, amazing singer.
Yes! My favorite journey song!
Absolutely fabulous!!!
Brilliant!❤️😎🇺🇲☮️😁
This is just the song that GETS me. It says everything with words I feel in my heart when I think of my life, my marriage and my family. He was magic on a stage and I miss him🔥 🙏😭
Totally agree with you. I was thinking when you said you only really liked one of their songs...has he heard open arms bc that is a song I feel when someone says journey this song is what I immediately think of.
I'm not sure if you had this in the UK but we used to be able to dedicate songs to people on our local radio stations. This one was dedicated a whole lot.
Yes some stations would allow that. I think they still do.
I was surprised when he said he only likes about two songs from Journey! What? Queen is my favorite band overall and definitely my favorite British band.. journey is one of my favorite American bands.. I'm trying to think there are others I like it as well.. as far as bands, I like Linkin Park and their lyrics are pretty awesome. Heartbreaking what happened to Chester and the suicide and all. It happens with anyone and even famous people are not immune from anxiety & severe depression. I just flipped out when he said there were only two journeysongs he really really likes "send her my love" and I guessing this one and maybe another one now... Fleetwood Mac is my favorite American British band Duo.. damn they're awesome
Told ya, wait till you hear Why Can't This Night Go On Forever. Listen to After the Fall too. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!
That's my Classic Journey!!!! My brother was at this concert, just in case I didn't tell you already!!...lol...
"Send Her My Love" is your favorite? What about "When You Love a Woman"? That one had you in tears, but still not your favorite? Just joking with ya! I just love that you are finally understanding the magnitude of this group! Anyway, if you watch other Journey videos, you'll find that Steve keeps time with the drums quite often. That's because he's also a drummer. He played drums in high school, and in a couple of other groups he was in before joining Journey. So he's still a drummer at heart.
One of my favorite Journey! Music taps into our hearts and mind ! Not to discount art, music is art artist! In your words I'm off on a tangent ! Love your channel! MUSIC unites us universally 😀🎶!
Appreciate you loving the channel too 💜💜
Take a listen to Walk Like A Lady live from Osaka. I love the way Steve kinda mocks Neil's guitar in this live performance. They were having fun. It is early Journey, Gregg Rolli is still in the band.
Awesome great voice 🎶❤️ one of my many favorites
I love it when he does that to me! Thats my baby,STEVE(THE VOICE)PERRY!Do it again?!!SING,sing,sing...! STEVIES GIRL,
VELVET💖💋👏
Great reaction HAP!! Yes, this is one of the most popular love songs out there and I personally know at least 4 couples who consider it “their song”. Imagine how many couples in just the US have this amazing song as “their song.” This is very popular during the wedding dances too. Steve Perry is just an amazing artist with such a pure vocal talent. 🌻🌻 Please react to “Don’t Stop Believing”!!! Another amazing Journey song!!!
NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT PHOEBE, DON'T STOP BELIEVING IS A FANTASTIC SONG FOR A REACTION, HAP!! I THINK YOU WOULD LIKE IT!
Appreciate that. 👍🏽 Don't Stop Believing is one of their big songs ... so in time I shall. Thanks all.
I saw Journey live in April 1983 … & I swore Steve Perry looked at me directly one time during the concert , lol 😂 … probably was my teenager self wishing that … I have a Forever Crush 💗 on Steve Perry , lol 💗💗
This is also one of my favs gives me chills everytime I hear it ! Steve's voice is iconic!!!!!!!
This is mine and my husbands song it was our song when we dated back in high school! I met my husband almost 38 years ago in high school and in November we will be married 34 years and while we dated my husband used to play this in his car when we’d park! Both our wedding rings have an Open Arms inscription and this will always always always be my favorite song EVER not just from Journey but all songs!! No one and I mean NO ONE can sing this song like Steve Perry!!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️
I saw Journey live back in the day. I actually saw this tour but in LA. Steve could belt this out night after night, perfect every time. It was a thing of beauty to experience. This version of “Open Arms” is better than the studio version.
They were great in 1982 in California, as well. That's when I saw them live.😘😎Lights is good, as well. Also, Faithfully.
Such a beautiful song. Steve Perry’s voice is just amazing.
A Timeless song it is! Love is in the air! Blissful endeavors 💕 The reaction to this song was on point! 💕💕
Appreciate that 🎵🎵
This was live. That's what's crazy. Most bands do it in a studio after many takes, but never replicate everything at first try when live. Perry nailed it on stage just as on album. Doesn't happen very often.
I had the amazing pleasure of seeing Steve and the boys in concert....great performers, great great songs!!
100% agree. There are very few bands/artists that I'm a huge fan of and will listen to most of their songs over and over. I like songs individually. Journey is a beautiful band and I do agree he deserves the title of "The voice" but there are only a handful of their songs I can say I would listen to often though. This is one of them. (and hey. It's almost 3 am. Are we getting into trouble? :) )
Love this song ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hap 😊👍🏻👍🏻😁❤️
Great Reaction HAP. I agree with you this is a perfect love song if you just want to tell somebody how much you love them. My husband and I we’re in a long distance relationship when we first got together for about a year and a half. When I would hear this song during that time I would miss him so much it was almost unbearable. Although I think it made for a stronger relationship in the long run we’re still together after 30 years. Thanks for bringing back that memory.😀👍❤️✌️🌼
Thanks for sharing that. A long distance relationship can be hard but as you know music acts as the means for connection. When we allow it.
Yes! Another Journey!!
If you're looking for more Journey songs to react to...Still They Ride and I'll be Alright Without You! My favorite of his is Send Her My Love but there's a few seconds!!👍♥️😁
What a great tune!! This is my favorite journey song💯🎙️🎼🎶🎸👍
Cor blimey! That was gorgeous!!! Thank you! I think u may be on ur way (dare I say journeying) to being a die hard Journey fan after all. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area so LIGHTS by Journey is a big favorite. Please react to LIGHTS. also...
LOVIN TOUCHIN SQUEEZIN
WHO'S CRYING NOW
I LOVE this song! I have loved it since I was a kid. Great ballad.
Thank you for the reaction Hap! Love Journey and appreciate all your reactions to their music. Your honest thoughts on the lyrics and band are great! Keep them coming.
