  • I agree with markgerrardmusic, no contest at all. Steve Perry is the king. i saw Journey with SP in 1978 and 1986, saw them again in ~2004 with Augeri and was not impressed. i can't even remember the year i saw them with Augeri as it did not leave a lasting impression with me. Enough said!

  • No contest - Perry wins hands down & by a country mile...Augeri hits the notes ok but Perry sells the song...irresistably & there is a universe of difference...

  • Steve will be forever the only real voice of journey

  • How come the old footage sounds neweer than the newer stuff?

  • i did a piano cover of this on my page, those who like piano covers make sure you stop by

  • wow....augeri is so weak compared to SP So is Arnell....very weak. SP is the Rolls Royce....Arnell and Augeri are Buicks.

  • irishprince317....you are right, a band can go on but Journey refuses to. They're first singer had a great voice but Journey is not trying to "revive" him. no they try over and over again to revive Steve. There are others who sing great, in their own style but Journey does not hire them, nope they have to sound like Steve, if they look like him all the better. Sammy didn't sound like Dave and no one expected him to BUT Journey.........

  • perry was kicked out because of health problems! read his biography!!! gearge tickner ,may have been the first lead singer... but steve perry is the absolute fucking legend and best journey ever had!!

  • Perry walked out on Journey!! got it, Journey is a Band not (perrys band) even bands like acdc ,van halen....replaced their lead singer..p.s Perry was not the first lead Singer

  • @irishprince31771 NO STEVE= NO JOURNEY

  • @NoSteveNoPoint at present no arnel=no journey

  • @jhule at present no journey PERIOD! only a puppet show! WISE UP

  • @NoSteveNoPoint nobody's forcing you to listen. if you see arnel attached to the journeys name here on youtube then dont watch and stop hating. the man is just trying to make a living and FYI journey picked him. he never forced himself to be part of it. geez.. stop hating and start looking at yourself. atleast arnel is well knowned nowadays. how bout you? just a hater. i pity people like you. get a life youtube warrior.

  • @jhule CRY ME A RIVER

  • @NoSteveNoPoint yap just go on listen to nsync it suits you right.

  • @jhule NSYNC??  What a MORON!

  • @NoSteveNoPoint good bring perry back and u will have journey back

  • @krpelkey That was dumb

  • @irishprince31771

    I agree but they could have picked a better lead singer than the guy they have now. The concert just felt Weird seeing Paquito singing. Journey will never be the same again :(

  • @irishprince31771

    What you say is true; other bands have replaced their lead singers. BUT.... even Journey believes that Steve Perry was end-all singer because everyone they have had since Steve is just an attempt to replicate Steve. It is not a biased response but a fact. And the first singer for Journey was great with the band that he began after Journey (Karma).

  • @NormitaM  true. I not belittling Perry. just saying they can go on without him..its like Van Halen its almost 50/50 who like DLR or Sammy Hagar.. I like both.

  • @irishprince317

    Naah. Some vocalists are just iirreplaceable. Steve is one of them. A band just has to know when it's all over.

  • @irishprince31771 Steve Perry had a hiking accident and needed hip replacement surgery. He wanted to take the time to decide on what to do that would be best for his health, mobility and asked the band to postpone touring until he could have it done and recover. They instead thought it best to get another singer and tour quickly to take advantage of thei then-current album and popularity. Not saying one side is right or wrong, but those are the facts of what happened.

  • Steve Perry is Journey

    

  • There is no comparrison: Steve is the only only one.

  • Perry---Probably, Arguably the best Rock/Pop voice ever!

  • No Ticky...No Laundry!

  • You guys are ....ruthless! But point well taken. Saw "them" last night in San Antonio 9/22/2011 and I can't say it was bad just not Journey. Steve Perry brought the velvet voice and the success to the band. I must say that the band was awesome. Johnathan Case, Neal Sean and the rest of the replacements were enjoyed. Love you Mr. Perry and always will!

  • This is a fun mix but I just saw Journey in concert last night with Pineda and it was the worst show I ever saw. They should really retire. No Perry its over.

  • @11monsta  TOTALLY AGREE

  • Comment removed

  • NO PERRY= NO PONT

  • Went to concert last night with open mind, sorry Journey sucked without Steve Perry they are a joke.......Thank god Foreigner was there to make a fan feel like they got their monies worth - THEY TRULY WHERE THE SHOW. Journey tried to hard to over shadow singer and you couldn't even hear him, much less make out the words. Band many times on instrumental out of sync and audience had to help with lyrics... If they come your way without other bands don't waste your money.

  • I am a tribute artist i pay respect to the real deal, but you DO NOT REPLACE THEM, tribute them YES, but you cannot ever, never REPLACE THE REAL DEALS that is just crazy! That is like Macca and Ringo getting replacements for Johno and Georgie for THE BEATLES....... NO WAYYYYYYYYYYY cannot ever be done JOURNEY NEEDS A HEAD SHRINK !

  • @TheEchovoices Not disagreeing, but AC/DC comes to mind... are they not AC/DC because Bon Scott is gone? And even he wasn't their first singer. [Dave Evans]. Iron Maiden with Paul before Bruce...

  • @EdwoodCA

    how can u ever compare that group to Steve Perry, oh boy, I cannot believe you, this is Journey we are talking about, get real!

  • @TheEchovoices So, you use an example of the Beatles and that's okay. But, I use another and it's not? Okay. That's logical.

  • @EdwoodCA

    Now you are putting The Beatles in the same category as AC/DC, the band that started it all and led other bands? Omg again how can you do this? That is NOT logical. I am not going to answer you any more, you obviously cannot sing a note or even have a good ear for real talent. Without the Beatles AC/DC would be nothing, As for Steve Perry did u know he was voted THE GREATEST VOICE IN THE WORLD? I suggest you throw AC/DC in the dustbin! Cheers mate!

  • @TheEchovoices You're reading too much into it. Try taking my words for what they say, not what you think I'm implying.

    I'm not comparing bands. Nor did I compare bands. You inferred that I was.

    I'm just using examples of bands that had a change in lead singer. Simple as that.

    Sorry you got so worked up for nothing. But, that kind of self made drama propels many peoples' lives, so that's cool. You go ahead and get all upset over a simple discussion.

  • @EdwoodCA

    It is called caring and having feelings for Steve Perry what happened to him is not as simple as you think and I feel for him, it was wrong what they did to him he wrote the songs and sang with such feelings which the world lacks today,and he was dumped, do u have any idea what that feels like? Maybe if u had more compassion for ppl you would feel it was more than a simple discussion. Peace Out !

  • @TheEchovoices You're inferring things into my words, again. Or are confusing me with someone else's posts. I've never mention Steve Perry or why he and the band parted ways. Journey's music with Steve is great. I've never said otherwise. Can you understand that? I've only brought up examples based on the "logic" you were using. That's it. Then you rip on my lack of compassion? You're lashing out at a stranger that's just trying to keep it simple. Really. Re read my comments.

  • WOW!!! What a way to show STEVE PERRY IS JOURNEY!! NOT nice to Steve Augeri Ha Ha.. The MAGIC of Steve Perry`s voice is so evident in this clip!!! NO COMPARISON!!!!!!

  • Side by side comparison = Perry has that extra "magic" in his voice.

  • I agree Perry has an exclusive voice but Arnel is close and that is what they chose for a reason.

  • @sassycat4u Arnel SUCKS

  • only one man comes close to steve perry listen to this guy just happen to run into it (iann72) this is his name

  •  only one man comes close to steve perry listen to this guy just happen to run into it

  • Journey isn't Journey without Steve Perry. No other lead singer is ever going to cut it and Schon is an idiot for not welcoming a reunion.

  • born and raised right here in new state (cheers) wow wrong lyricks but good

  • Give me Augeri live any day. The guy was incredible...

  • South Detroit is actually,Windsor, Ontario. But , that being said, I love, love Steve's voice!!! No one can touch it! Born and raised in North Windsor!.........

  • Fake splice and dice

  • Journey - The greatest band of all time. Fantastic musicians and vocalists, regardless of the line-up. Each member added his own touch and soul to so many classics, new and old.

    Don't Stop Believin' could actually now be changed to "Start Unbelievin'"!

    Don't ever stop, Journey....

  • Perry has written over 50 songs since his last solo and said in his latest interview that he's getting ready to record soon. My guess he'll be putting out several cd's.

  • VERY clever, Brickharrell! Looks like something I would write! There will always be someone, though, that is too ignorant to realize that you're kidding, and thus create a completely unrelated thread about C & W music! (It IS amazing, though, that if you sing Steve's vocals an octave lower and a capella, Journey's stuff will sound a LOT like a Waylon song!) I DO think Steve was Journey and is one of the unequaled "voices of rock!"

  • STEVE PERRY`S DAD, PERRY COMO , TAUGHT HIM HOW TO PLAY THE STEEL GUITAR WHEN HE WAS IN COLLEGE AT TEXAS A&M... BUT WHEN HE PLAYED WI TH PORTER WAGONER AND DOLLY PARTON, HE GOT FIRED BECAUSE HE WAS TRYING TO STEAL MISS DOLLY FROM PORTER ON HEE-HAW...BUT LATER HE GOT HIRED BY THE JOURNEYMEN...JOHNNY CASH, WAYLON JENNINGS AND GLEN CAMPBELL TO SING THE SONG "TEQUILLA".  NOW HE SINGS AT THE HOLIDAY INN IN WINNIE,TEXAS ON WEEKENDS, WHEN THE FLEA MARKET IS IN FULL SWING. HE ALSO DOES ROPE TRICKS.

  • @BRICKHARRELL007 Steve Perry's father is NOT Perry Como LOL. Steve is Portugese and was born Stephen Ray Pereira.

  • @muzik027 No you got it wrong friend. Steve was born in Hanford, California, USA and is a US citizen of Portuguese descent .. Get your shit together man..

  • why do all the GOOD bands breakup or loose members?

  • Steve Perry was A LEGEND for Journey i think - but Augeri has a great voice, and "Arrival" is one of my favourite Journey works.. He's a great singer. Great job!

    But - Perry on to the infinity.

  • Ok, that's a semi-decent audio edit. Show me live video, not just still photos, and then I'll believe it

  • Steve Perry is the Master of Voice.

  • demais... quero o recifeeee.

  •  STEVE PERRY MELHOR VOCALISTA DO JOURNEY ....

  • one and only steve only will be the one colin xxxx

  • They did a good job of finding a replacement, but he is just that...a replacement. Dont get me wrong hes amazing but steve perrys voice IS journey. I was in my colleges cafeteria the other day and this song came on over the PA and everyone, EVERYONE started singing out loud. NO JOKE!...who doesnt love this song

  • @TheDerikjohnson nobody can replace steve perry he has aunique voice he was the one very special awesom ingridient that got journey around this universe steve perry is so gifted and he is my favorite artist in the whole wide world

  • Steve Perry tem muito mais potencia vocal

  • For me, when Steve Perry left the band, Journey has lost some of its magic ... Perry gave the band a lot of emotion ... Only one who has seen their show with Perry can say that. But nice video! Congratulations!

  • This song sucks bad

  • @kittykat12387 you suck... :)

  • No comparison really. I mean, Perry just gives you heart and soul always. <3

  • hey who thinks that journey is nothing without steve perry i do fore one

  • LOL "you can thank Glee! "

  • give it over people. Journey is more popular now. Than they ever were. You can thank Glee.

  • @brodemonz WISE UP MORON

  • @NoSteveHasReturned name calling will get you know where

  • @brodemonz No but EDUCATION will! that's " NOWHERE," not "KNOW WHERE!! " LMAO

  • @NoSteveHasReturned not only do you call people names your a spelling nazi too. i know how to fucking spell, do I need to do it on youtube ? NO. theres no test here . you mean shit to me . you gonna pay me ? u gonna have your wife suck my cock if i spell right? if so, i'll consider it . but untill then dont be so petty when some one calls you out for name calling.

  • @brodemonz SEEK HELP MORON!

  • @NoSteveHasReturned that's what I thought.

  • @brodemonz You DON'T think! That's your whole problem!

  • @NoSteveHasReturned is that my problem? ok, ...

  • @brodemonz YEP

  • steve perry is and always will be the best. no one can compare to him.

  • pretty selective on your sound dubs. I can make anyone sound like shit by dubbing with a sound compressor and recording it with a shitty Mic .....Nice try

  • Steve Perry is the "The Voice". Nothing else needs to be said. Journey will never be the same.

  • Steve Perry is the best vocalist ever. No one could ever live upto him in Journey

  • in houston??

  • Sorry Guys There is no Journey Without Steve!!! Just like led zep will never be thesame without john Bonham or no Heaven And Hell Without Ronnie James Dio.You Cannot take the heart and soul of a Band and expect to reproduce the MAGIC!!!! SORRY NEIL BUT MR. PERRY IS THE GREATEST JOURNEY EVER!!!!!!!!

  • @perrylover63 YOU R RIGHT!!!!

  • Just a city boy, born and raised.....RIGHT HERE IN HOUSTON!

  • perry was journey. His voice made them famous. steve was just there to fill the hole

  • @IamWealthy838 any concerts in LA ?

  • @Anomiman A quote from Jonathan Caine........

    All of us look forward to next year—a tour that spans South America, Europe, The States and Asia. Plans are to begin in April. See you all then!

  • @IamWealthy838 = DIRT POOR ERNIE

  • Perry is so clearly better.....more soulful and rockin! His voice is so full and on point. No one can take his place. Others can try - but Perry f*7^in rocks. And he wrote most of the music.....

  • As much as i try to love JRNY whatever, Perry is the engine that drives the machine........

  • Perry or nobody- 

  • BORN AND RAISED RIGHT HERE IN HOUSTON!!! LOL

  • no Steve Perry No Journey just my opinion

  • @barkerfmx Absolutely agree with that statement.

  • I think people also get confused what really makes a musician. Even if someone's voice could duplicate Steve's, half of being a musician is writing the songs. That's one area others could not duplicate here. Jonathan and Steve were a great writing pair.

  • @barkerfmx boo hoo .... Perry walked out on Journey!! got it, Journey is a Band not (perrys band) even bands like acdc ,van halen....replaced their lead singer

  • @irishprince31771 well i love ac dc and all but sorry they are no steve perry

  • no one commands the stage like Steve Perry...Journey is still playing great music but the stage performance is not the same...Please reunite with Journey Steve...

  • Hold on...this sounds to me like this video was put together from two different concerts. Am I right?

  • There's only one Steve Perry. I love Augeri and Pineda, but there is only one Steve Perry. You had to be there!

  • steve perry is much better. 

  • It is a shame...that young kids don't get to see Steve Perry. I went threw hell growing up in a dysfunctional family. Steve Perry's music got me through that period of my life. Kids feel cheated....as I was with the Beatles.....

  • Love Steve Perry.. no one can ever take his place.

  • @lin88jon apparently someone did.

  • @lin88jon stever augeri, was too much of a steve perry sore butt, he was butt sore and made it known over every concert made with journey, stole his own identity, but i think arnel holds his own like a lounge band great, other than that there is no real journey without Steve and they all know it.

  • born and raised right here where you stand?

  • @SCiWiZZ9812 they're in houston, so instead of born and raised in south detroit, he said born and raised right here in houston.

  • @SCiWiZZ9812 "right here in houstan"

  • @godj65 Houston

  • Comment removed

  • Perry = best voice in rock

  • @testodude i love this don't get me wrong, but to say he's got the best voice in rock you must not know of a man called freddie mercury!

  • anyone who thinks journey isnt anything without stevie p is a fukin homo!!!

  • @trturner100 dont be homophobic

  • Steve Perry rules...

  • @cgarris - thanks. I'll check your postings. Cheers -:).

  • @camigirl270 - oh thanks. And what is Perry doing nowadays please?

  • @Babillonia He still writes music and lent did background voices in collaborations with other artists. A brand new start with David Pack in 2005 and I can see it in your eyes with Guff in 2007. He also lent his voice with Jeff Goulb on a song called Can't let you go in 2003. In 2000 with he sang background with Tommy Tokioka on the songs I wish you were mine and An angel above me. I have some of these posted

  • Their voices sound kinda the same... but Steve Perry is better. the other steve's voice is a tad deeper.

  • What happen to Perry? Does he still sings? Anyone knows?

  • @Babillonia

    in '83 the band decided to take a break, so he & a couple other members decided to persue solo careers. the band reunited a few years later and recorded more albums. Then, while on a hiking trip, steve injured his hip and refused to have surgery, so he couldn't preform or go on tour. The rest of the band then decided to kick him out. They replaced him with steve augeri, and later, he had throat problems and couldn't sing anymore. Then, they replaced him with arnel pineda.

  • Oh the memories, the best song ever. A++ for Journey -:).

  • Legend from 3:43 to 4:12

  • PERRY YOUR THE BEST!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH THAT VOICE SUCH POWER

  • arnel pineda is better than thm and hve a high VoiCe!!!!

  • Augeri is a VERY watered down version of Steve Perry... What can I say they don't call Perry "The Voice" for nothing...

  • @UMACstudios where as i say augeri took perrys voice and did much more with it....

  • @tigger23123 Not trying to take anything away from Augeri, I enjoy watching him perform w/ Journey. However, I think Perry sings w/ more passion and more range in his voice.

    Check out "You Better Wait" by Steve Perry

  • @UMACstudios i love perry and his voice rules but ill just say arrival is my fave journey album ever and imo perry never wouldve made it what augeri did. what im saying is that perry was the voice as you say but than augeri took perrys voice and added his own little touches which imo made it better

  • Interesting extended version. J lost SP; then they lost S Augeri. Two bad blows, but they are still going. J didn't stop.

  • Wow, one guy can't push any air at all. Needs some lessons.

  • @NoSteveNoJourney YOU HAVE YOUR ALBUM SO HUG IT

  • I'd be interested in knowing the date of the audio for Steve Perry. If you're gauging a 20+ year old clip of a young Steve Perry vs. a more recent Augeri, that's apples to oranges.....................I am certain he can't hit those notes anymore...

  • I LOVE YOU STEVE!!! I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO SEE YOU SING THIS SONG LIVE!!!!!!

  • Who can dislike this video? I love it!!!

  • Steve Perry's voice just comes at you and hits you in the gut; Augeri is good but his voice doesn't have the charisma of Perry's.

  • who forgot to film?

  • augeri didnt sound a thing like perry. arnel is wayy closer to perry!

  • sorry for that ,,thats what i feel otherway Augeri is good

  • i love perry than augeri

  • i really like augeri aloooot!! everyones gonna say ooohhhhhhhhhh steve perry is the BEST but he was the first how do u compare someone to the first u cant beat that, but i dont think ive ever heard agueri ever go off key!! he is such a good singer!!!!!!!!

  • There is and will never be anything better than Perry.

  • Steve Perry is the voice of GOD Bruce lee is everything else chuck Norris is Jesus though

  • Steve Augeri Rocks

  • Steve Augeri Rocks

  • The song belongs to Steve Perry, he makes it so good, nobody else can touch him.

  • you cant really say augeri is better than perry because augeri is singing perry's songs?! haha its obvious. Perry is no.1

  • Way to go Augeri

  • seriously you can notice the difference?steve is still no1

  • Steve PERRY est de très loin le MEILLEUR, THE BEST!!! sans conteste, sans discussin...!

  • STEVE PERRY RULES.... He can NEVER/EVER be replaced!!!

  • @sendinghugs2u complétément d'accord avec toi...Steve PERRY is the Best!! Il est irremplaçable, le meilleur que Journey a connu et ne connaitra un autre meilleur que lui; dommage que Steve PERRY ne soit plus à Journey mais il retera le plus grand!!! et un des plus grands chanteurs de Rock de tous les temps!

  • Where is the debate? This video just makes that Augeri bloke look bad.

  • Perry's got a clear "ping" to his voice that no other singer has. Legend.

  • Journey FTW

  • The Voice has no comparison, but Augeri is dam good. He is the perfect replacement for The Voice. Arnel is a joke.
