OH I remember this clip live when it was shown on Midnight special. It was the summer before I became a freshmen in HS. My mom and cousin were just blown away how guys like this can let their hair grow long. I was very ticked off I wanted them to shut up because I wanted to hear this song. Such great memories of a perfect era in music. And also the start of Steve Perry with Journey just an awesome lead singer with a tons of vocal talents.
Search "Journey Roadrunner" - a performance with Herbie Hancock. Looks like it was filmed the same day with Herbie Hancock. It is not a Journey song, not lip synched and AWESOME!
Steve Smith on drums everybody!...Steve Smith everybody....Give the drummer some. Loved Aynsley, loved Steve Smith even more.
Steve Perry will always... and I mean ALWAYS be Journey. Without him they are just a step up from a Holiday Inn Immation band. That guy that sang on the Today Show couldn't hold Steve Perry's jock strap....er, whatever, let alone take his place in the band. And WHAT'S UP with Neils hair here. Friggin Chia pet....LoNG LIVE THE TWO STEVE'S!!!
@Tikitiki200 Couldn't agree with you more!!! Loved Steve Smith... but you know I honestly believe if Greg Rollie would have stuck around they would have been bigger then they were. Their earliest stuff is the most amazing I think. Its all great no doubt though! =)
I don't think they were lip syncing because at the end it gets the live sound of the people clapping and screaming. i think that the studio songs were placed over this video because u couldn't here him sing. Look at his mouth on the very last note at the end. you cant hear it.
OK - Steve Perry, YES, he IS perfection, thank you phxdivine! OMG did I LOVE THAT MAN when I was a teeeeen ager! He just IS. SO. AWESOME! I like the new guy (hard to believe he sounds so good when Steve Perry is such a hard act to follow, right? But he's terrific!) I knew EVERY word, every nuance to EVERY Journey song when this was popular. THANK YOU JOURNEY, THANK YOU STEVE PERRY (WE MISS YOU!!!) Thank you balbuf for putting this up, and THANK YOU YOUTUBE for being YOU, TUBE!
My favorite part of this is at 2:05 when Steve jumps off the stage and starts singing to the girl in the red top. He stares directly into her cleavage, wiggles his eyebrows, then finally raises his eyes to look at her face. What a typical man, LOL!

@08spoons They always played LIVE! DUHHH, This was the equivalent of an MTV video in the day, which ALWAYS had the studio version dubbed behind it. Wise Up!
Gay song by a great band...and some serious gender confusion by our lead singer...look at those arms...this cupcake needs to get out of the house and do some construction work. Love the height-compensation fro by our guitarist though. Rock on boys.
Boy, they looked so young then. But, so did the rest of us, I saw this tour. In a couple more years the "fro" will be back in style and who knows maybe guys will learn to pull up their pants.
@monasticbeing it is the recording. they did lipsync because they were in the middle of their infinity tour, i believe. an playing shows every night, singing like he does takes its toll on the voice.
@dogroferifno No, it wasn't. Here's proof right here. I think the producers gave the bands the option of miming, live vocal over tracks, or doing it totally live. This performance is ALL mimed. Maybe the band's schedule didn't allow time for a proper sound check to play live for just two songs. They were touring pretty heavily back then. I wouldn't be surprised if this a video playback from dress rehearsal and the band wasn't even actually there during the broadcast.
Booed off the stage in Buffalo, booked onto the wrong bill opening for the Stones. Came back 4 months later and sold out in 22 minutes, BEFORE the internet was around.
I love this double song set! What I would give to have been that lucky gal to whom Steve(THE GREAT ROCK GOD OF ALL TIME!!!) sang to,I wonder if she got lucky that night, he sure had his eye on her? The things that I would do to Steve, well... I'm sure he would have been pleased! His beautiful God given voice makes me melt everytime!

Perry is not gay. The song Oh Sherry was about one of his girl friends. She traveled with the band at the time, and Perry sadly hung out with her instead of his band mates. Also, the first song her is about him catching his then girlfriend with another guy.
@motormouth1970 not it's not synched to the original. this is live. his falsetto gets wimpy and pitchy and the vocal tone is nowhere near the original.
@HolyDiver55100 THEY DID NOT DO LIP SYNCHING ON THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL...THE PRODUCERS WOULD NOT ALLOW IT...THEY WANTED TO SEE IT PERFORMED "LIVE" I KNOW FOR A FACT BY RESEARCH ON GOOGLE WIKI
@justcruzzinn You bought into the myth. If you have any doubt, check out any "live" performance by ABBA. Guess what, sometimes people lie. Shocking, I know, but there you have it.
This song obviously displays Steve Perry's vocal abilities. Say what you will about Journey, I took them for granted when they were on the charts, they were a very talented and tight band. I saw them in concert several times at the request of a girlfriend and was always pleasantly surprised at quality of their shows.
just when i think the other steve wannabees are ok i watch him sing live and i realize they are shit compared to steve lol. damn. what a vocal powerhouse.
Xspecify, the world knows! Steve Perry is the Greatest Leadsinger of Journey. No matter what I wish the new Journey well, but without Steve Perry they may sell lots of CDs and concerts, but The Voice is Not to be Duplicted.
@Hunkola From 1979 until the end of this TV show, EVERY BAND was MADE to lip synch for TV. Check out their 1978 appearance on the Midnight Special and you'll find IT was NOT lip synched.
I saw these guys on this tour towards the end, so don't judge him for lip syncing! One awesome show you should have been ther, A+++ Guys, and whom put this on here Thank You
Just so there's no mistaking: YES this is a sync performance to their album cuts, and YES this was done a lot on Midnight Special. Performers would either fake the whole thing or sing live over the instrumental track from their album. It was never any trouble to mix a version of a song with only the desired tracks. Things to listen for: harmonies and timing, instrument mixes, guitar tone. These are all IDENTICAL to the album. Nevertheless, Journey is truly one of the all-time greats of rock!
The "real" me is hating this, but the Closet Journey Fan in me is saying, YAAY! Funny, I never swooned over Steve Perry, yet I "accidentally" married a guy who LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM....(and our son is GORGEOUS, by the way....)
Thanks for the video (balbuf), and no offense but there's no lip-syncing. I'm a musician for the last 32yrs and they did not do that on Midnight Special. It would have been impossible at that time anyway to do that for Steve while cutting out every other track. Some of the rest of you, stop being such Journey "snobs"....album sales sucked until Perry joined in 1977, and they had great hits with each band member change, 1977 to 1983 being their hottest period.
Top 40 chop monsters, true musicianship for a commercialized band unlike Rush,ect. but they definitely measure up to bands like Rush ect. Steve Smith is an incredible drummer still doing session/studio and clinic work today.
@krevice lol It is live buddy.....there really that good. Listen to the drums in the beginning. Then listen very closely to his voice. Its diffrent then the record. His voice is more naisaly kinda. Maybe pre recorded live, but this isnt the record there singin bro. And no, Journey was not a joke, just really talented. Kinda like Rush. Some bands are really just that good live.
Many of the Midnight Specials were pre-recorded and almost all of the "live" performances on American Bandstand were. Journey had just been on a major tour and they were likely exhausted. His voice was probably trashed and they felt pre-recorded would be better on national tv....I've seen them live, he sounds almost as good live. He was a remarkable frontman.
Steve Perry was here is what is known as a professional performer. Kind of like how Jeff Gordon is a professional driver. He knows how to deliver. Big time!
I used to watch this when I was 16 years old. We knew back then that it was recorded didn't care then and don't care now. I hate it when people post that on here like it's a big secret and they're sooooo wise to have figured it out. Just shut up and enjoy the video or go back to facebook.
@fanostyx I was thinking that most of these were recorded but after checking them out you're right most of them were live. So yeah I'm wondering why they didn't do it live.
Me quedo con esta version de Steve Perry, la original claro que si y la mejor de todas yo este año 79 aun ni nacia yo recien naci en el 85 pero que estupenda cancion la vez primera que la escuche me atrapò, Que sexy, que atrevida que exitante, como para que mi flaca me baile en el tubo toda la noche jajaja...AMAME, TOCAME. EXPRIMEME, Saludos desde Lima - PERU y Salud con JOurney...
qué jote es Steve Perry, se pasó. Apuesto a que ninguno de ellos se relacionó o se emparejó jamás con una rellenita o gordita. Siempre pasa que los músicos de ciertas características, como éste y varios más, pololean y/o se casan con gallas espectaculares, que obedecen al cánon postmoderno de belleza femenina.
Me encanta el piano en lovin' touchin' squeezin' - Gregg hace un trabajo estupendo y se luce. Y City of the angels siempre me ha dado risa, no sé porqué... bueno, si sé, pero no lo diré.
he's gotta be a fudge nudger!! folk will always say, but he was always surrounded by hot women!!! so was george michael !!! he turned out to be a clay digger too!
whats george michael & wellington boots got in common?? they both get sucked off in bog's!!!
sometime extrememly good looking men can look a little effeminant,, I'd bet my bottom dollar there was nothing fem. about Steven Perry.. I'd jump on him in a second and i'm also married to a good looking man .
@cindygibbsbarfield Maybe he didnt inherit a lot of body hair! You never know. But it would have been gross to see a lot of hair hanging out of his cap sleeves!
@cindygibbsbarfield Amen!! There wasn't an feminine aspect about him. Steve Perry appealed to women!!!! I know... I'm one of many.. His voice was awesome and he just made a woman want him. Journey was never the same after he left. If I'd had the chance...I would have jumped on him too. LOL
OH I remember this clip live when it was shown on Midnight special. It was the summer before I became a freshmen in HS. My mom and cousin were just blown away how guys like this can let their hair grow long. I was very ticked off I wanted them to shut up because I wanted to hear this song.

Steve Perry looks like a woman here. Also looking at his outfit I wonder if this is where Vince McMahon got the inspiration for Tugboat's attire?

Top 40 chop monsters, true musicianship for a commercialized band unlike Rush,ect. but they definitely measure up to bands like Rush ect. Steve Smith is an incredible drummer still doing session/studio and clinic work today.

I liked the songs where Gregg and Steve alternated on lead vocals better. I hate how they just stuck Gregg in the background : (

@krevice lol It is live buddy.....there really that good. Listen to the drums in the beginning. Then listen very closely to his voice. Its diffrent then the record. His voice is more naisaly kinda. Maybe pre recorded live, but this isnt the record there singin bro. And no, Journey was not a joke, just really talented. Kinda like Rush. Some bands are really just that good live.
sralmy 1 year ago
Many of the Midnight Specials were pre-recorded and almost all of the "live" performances on American Bandstand were. Journey had just been on a major tour and they were likely exhausted. His voice was probably trashed and they felt pre-recorded would be better on national tv....I've seen them live, he sounds almost as good live. He was a remarkable frontman.

Steve Perry was here is what is known as a professional performer. Kind of like how Jeff Gordon is a professional driver. He knows how to deliver. Big time!

I used to watch this when I was 16 years old. We knew back then that it was recorded didn't care then and don't care now. I hate it when people post that on here like it's a big secret and they're sooooo wise to have figured it out. Just shut up and enjoy the video or go back to facebook.

@fanostyx I was thinking that most of these were recorded but after checking them out you're right most of them were live. So yeah I'm wondering why they didn't do it live.

Me quedo con esta version de Steve Perry, la original claro que si y la mejor de todas yo este año 79 aun ni nacia yo recien naci en el 85 pero que estupenda cancion la vez primera que la escuche me atrapò, Que sexy, que atrevida que exitante, como para que mi flaca me baile en el tubo toda la noche jajaja...AMAME, TOCAME.

qué jote es Steve Perry, se pasó. Apuesto a que ninguno de ellos se relacionó o se emparejó jamás con una rellenita o gordita. Siempre pasa que los músicos de ciertas características, como éste y varios más, pololean y/o se casan con gallas espectaculares, que obedecen al cánon postmoderno de belleza femenina.
Me encanta el piano en lovin' touchin' squeezin' - Gregg hace un trabajo estupendo y se luce. Y City of the angels siempre me ha dado risa, no sé porqué... bueno, si sé, pero no lo diré.

@cindygibbsbarfield Amen!! There wasn't an feminine aspect about him. Steve Perry appealed to women!!!! I know... I'm one of many.. His voice was awesome and he just made a woman want him. Journey was never the same after he left. If I'd had the chance...I would have jumped on him too. LOL
