I can't believe I forgot about this song! I loved it then and found it again and love it all over again. And Steve's performance is the best! God he has the best voice,and so damn beautiful!
One of the best live performances by the most underrated band in history. Incredible playing all around, but Steve and Neal's singing and playing are just ridiculously great!
There has never been a voice before or since that has so effortlessly breathed out music like Steve's voice. What an incredibly gifted and talented performer. I know Arnel is carrying the flame for the time being, but Steve is simply irreplaceable. Without Perry and Steve Smith, Journey is not the same. They are a terrific band, to say the least, just not the same.
this song made me love steve perry even more when i first heard it. i used to carry the cd in the player with me wherever i went & i had it cranked...the whole concert was live on the cd & i enjoyed every minute of it so much so i would play it all day
Remarkable! I seen this tour All I have to say is what's up with the People watching n viewing the other members of the band with this song! Steve Perry is the only one that should sing this! He is a Masterpiece with All that he sings!! xx
I must have played this album and this song hundreds of times on my 70's record turntable back in 81'. It was quite an experience listening to this song on stereo through rich bass speakers with headphones on and the lights turned down before going to sleep.
Beatles, Rollingstones? yeah right. I don't think Lennon or Jagger could ever come close to singing like Steve Perry. Just one more reason why bands from the 70s are legendary and why Journey should have been inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame long ago.
@chroniclerofthe70s I agree 100% Steve Perry is just sublime and in a different league to the artists you listed! And I must admit I have had that experience and I would regard this performance as one of the best live performances of all time. Especially the section at the end. Goosebumps moment. Great Emotion, sheer energy and total power. The Voice! Not forgetting the rest of the band of course :p
@FlattersonProduction the guitarist is Neal Schon, Ross Valory is the bass player and Steve Smith is the Great Drummer, oh Steve Perry is the Handsome guy in Front, known as "The Voice
Live at Houston '81 showcases one of the best live performances from a band of all time in my opinion. Steve Perry is truly one of a kind, this sends shivers down your spine!
I watched the new Dean Castronovo version and then came here. Holy crap! Perry was amazing! This has some of the best singing in rock history. The band is at their peak here and anyone who has a rock n' roll clue has to put Perry as one of the top vocalists of all time. This is amazing.
@RATSALAD9 im extremely envious of you right about now... lol. i would have loved to see him. i think he toured UK with journey in 1978 ( i was 12 ) but i couldn't go. if i knew what i know now i would have gone into debt and flew to US to see them.
I don't know why nobody notices steve perry that much, he's got an incredible rock voice and performs the songs just the way you want to hear it, plus so it sounds powerful and altogether journey is one of the most amazing live bands! but whats the name of that guitarist, he's one insane picker.........
amazing performance. steve perry is amazing his voice is one of the best. i love journey.

So refreshing to hear Steve after hearing people go crazy over Dave Matthews and his consipated excuse for a voice.

Steve sings with such emotion.I know he was an only child, but it almost sounds like Steve is singing from his own experiance.
I guess that just goes to show us what a wonderful emotional singer he is.
