First time I saw Journey was 1977 in Jackson Miss...I had a backstage pass because I was friends with the opening band LeRoux...I met the much shorter Steve and Neil backstage and they were gracious...Just a great show in their prime with Steve in fine voice...Ansley Dunbar was the drummer and met him also...Love the band since I bought the first LP when they were first on the rise....Not the same without the man Perry...
@1stSaintsFan ...I made a mistake on my previous post I first saw them on their Evolution Tour and It was I think 1979...Lots of brains cells lost to loud and bad bands...Journey was a pleasure to see live with Steve and of course I love the records..
Listening to this on this cold snowy night and getting goosebumps...This man was born to sing this song! Wow...so many amazing musical gifts he gave us...priceless, timeless treasures...
@HoneyBunchesOPerry No one for that band can sing this Journey song or any other Journey song as emotively as Steve!!! Journey is just not Journey anymore for me without ''The Voice.''
@MAGNUM2F Oh wow!!! Thanks for pointing that out to me my friend.
It's great that there is that many people on YouTube who still recognise actual singing talent when they hear it .Not those so-called singers who scream a ballad at the top of their voices live to be heard over the live instruments.In my opinion screaming is not singing!!!
Wow...just got the teary-eyes and quivery lip while looking at these photos and listening to this song! Such a beautiful man singing some of the most beautiful lyrics ever written...
Ho how i miss Steve Perry and the most amazing band JOURNEY! Nobody will never ever replace them for there is only one STEVE PERRY AND THE BAND JOURNEY!
@cooldude01001 I completely agree with you. As do many others world-wide. For us Steve Perry is Journey and that will never ever change even though he is no longer lead singer.
So Steve Perry was then and Arnel is different..... BUT there is no voice in modern music (outside perhaps of Freddy Mercury), that sings like this.. amazing..
@Jamie63P Have to say Freddy is good. However, he has never evoked the emotion Steve does (at least for me). SP just seems to be in a league all his own. I could never understand why people think both are a toss up. SP is so technically good, with the addition of the heart and soul. Just my opinion.
Yes Freddie was a great live entertainer just like Steve. But Freddie didn't have that same emotiveness in his singing voice that Steve is famous for. An emotiveness that can still to this day make the listener of his singing voice just as emotional as he is being.
Oh how I miss Steve Perry!!!! His voice was unlike any other and it just burns me when someone says, "But the new guy sounds like him!" No he doesn't!! There is only 1 Steve Perry and that is the end of that! WE MISS YOU STEVE!!!!!
@cwacki .... You certainly got that one right!.... Only ONE VOICE.... and what a wonderful man he really is..... Journey On Steve my friend!!! luv ya!
@mschurer398 No, He's not 'Country Crock', or 'I Can't Believe It's Not Butter'. Either way, it doesn't matter. People are still listening! Just push that thumbs up icon, and I'm happy with you. Pineda took a job he had to know, realistically, no one could fill. Many of us know there's only one real butter. Sooo, ride the new wave. He HAS to do what right for him. Are we not all adults now? Those of us who know---KNOW! It's O.K. to let him know we love him for who he is, and he's the real real!
@janosek1957 I agree, but I just wish when they got a new singer, they would have cut new songs. Leave the old ones alone and do new ones. I could have dealt with it better that way. I don't like hearing their singer try and sound like Steve Perry. I would rather him sound like himself.
@ximei29 Saved Journey from what? Journey was done when Steve Perry left. They lost the greatest singer ever and replaced him with a Steve Perry wanna be. Just my opinion though.
@mschurer398 I get so annoyed when I read or hear of Arnel Pineda's singing voice being compared to Steve Perry's. Arnel is not even American so therefore he has a foreign accent. So how can he sound like Steve? Steve Perry's singing voice is still one of the most emotive to have graced the planet. I think Arnel's voice by comparision is very monotoned and it lacks emotion. I think this is mainly because he tries too hard to pronounce the english lyrics correctly so he can be understood.
@eljay345 I agree with your comment 100%. My reference to him being a Steve Perry wanna be is because of all the comments that I've seen claiming that he sounds so much like Steve Perry. I am a die hard Steve Perry fan. There will never be another singer like him. The man is amazing. I personally do not think Arnel sounds anything like Steve and no where near as good.
@eljay345 I agree with your comments 100%. My reference to Arnel being a Steve Perry wannabe is based on all the comments from people that I've read saying how much Arnel sounds like Steve. I am a diehard Steve Perry fan. The man is amazing. There will never be another one like him. I wish he would come out with a new album though. I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon or in the near future.
@mschurer398 Thanks. I am not expecting to hear Steve sing again. If he really wanted to he would have years ago. Thankfully we have his masterpieces to listen to whenever we want!!!
@eljay345 As usual a beautiful Beautiful tribute to to the man we will always adore! As for me...I need to keep the hope in my heart that he will one again grace us with his beautiful gift. As we are Forever Steve's...Faithfully.

@ximei29 Saved Journey from what? Journey was done when Steve Perry left. They screwed up when they tried to replace him with a Steve Perry wanna be. Steve Perry is the greatest voice ever, doesn't matter if he can sing those high notes anymore.
@ximei29 'Excuse me... I mean no disrespect... Arnel is a good performer. But he saved journey??? There is NO one who could possibly save "Journey" aside from Steve Perry HIMSELF. This incarnation of a band calling themselves "Journey" is nothing more than a Steve Perry cover band. Faithfully Steve's
People all over say that Arnel is the only person who actually puts his heart, soul, and full emotions into Journey's songs. STEVE HELPED WRITE THEM! THEY ARE HIS EMOTIONS! Stories of HIS life. Arnel was a child when Steve was making amazing hits putting his full heart and soul into every ounce of music he makes!
@StevePerrytheAngelic Most people who say/write (especially on YouTube) that Arnel is the only person who actually puts his heart, soul, and full emotions into Journey's songs I think are young.So of course they think Arnel Pineda singing those wonderful Journey hit songs is the best vocal They do not have the memories people of my age and older have of Steve Perry in Journey.
Steve Perry did sing with such emotion that whenever you listen to him you instantly get emotional yourself.
GREAT JOB LISA - another goodie - waiting for the next one - more....more....
There's nothing wrong with wanting things RIGHT and you have chosen some lovely pictures to go with one of my favourite songs. Listening to Steve sing gives me goosebumps! Hope to hear him again with a new CD soon.
Beautiful video Lisa, i love it! One of my favourite Journey songs, this is the Journey i remember and love so much. We all love and miss you so much Steve Perry!
Thanks MidNite and beanierene. I knew Steve wasn't the only one that is a perfectionist lol.
I especially love the pics of Steve playing guitar and the tongue one after it.As soon as I found them online I knew exactly how to use them.My personal dig at a certain someone we all loathe who shall remain nameless lol.
Thanks Spud. I finally got my video the way I wanted. The ending was really bugging me but now It is good. Sorry to all my Perry Friends for being a pain.
Great music!!! Wonderful memories. I was transported back to the 80s.
