  • Patiently was written in tribute to Ronnie Van Zant, and Stev & Cassie Gaines after the plane crash that decimated Lynyrd Skynyrd.

  • Love that transition (around 1:35) from 'acoustic' to electric.

    Gets me every time.

    Thanks for posting this Mariet2. I owe Ya two or so.

  • What an incredible performance .....Great post mariet2 !!!

  • Not only is Steve Perry the greatest male vocalist ever, but he's just so frikkin YUMMY!!! That oh so soft, silky hair; those eyes that just captivate and pull you in; those beautiful lips. What I would give to be Steve Perry's microphone :P

  • @danala1000 I agree YES

  • The song that started it all and took us all on a long, wonderful journey...

  • For all of you who might take any of this even a little bit lightly....try singing along and keeping up...especially in this key...I DARE YOU! ;-)

  • Perry has the lips more sensual i have seen

  • Sigh....

  • Heaven to my ears!

  • Free replay button 0:00 !!

  • This is my new favorite song !!

  • This is amazing soulful singing from Steve Perry. The whole song is extremley artistic. !!!

  • steve perrys voice is "one in a million" that voice can sooth any ones problems away

  • @1842much, I like your comment! Cheers for being a Steve Fan/"Friend"

  • Is that Ainsley Dunbar on drums?

  • @bayoubengal1961 Yes it is.

  • Steve, the talent is a gift, if your voice has changed so be it, you will add the character to the voice as you did to the old, It made it singular in its quality. many singers hit high notes, many could carry a tune, but no one sang of positive outcomes and love and family and hope like you did, that is what we miss. So get in the studio, and put the album out, we're waiting right here. God Bless you friend. Dont waste your talent as I once wasted mine.

  • Sitting here listening to my favorite singer, Steve Perry singing one of my favorite songs. Just wishing that Steve is listening to us all. For 30 years I have listened to you, Please hear us! xx

  • Legend...an inscription

  • What a voice.

  • This is LIVE, folks!!! Noone can touch this man's vocal ability! WOW!! Wish I had gone to see Journey in the 70's/80's........Turn on the radio now and nothing but junk. Never know what you got until it's gone. Miss you, Perry/Journey :(

  • How is that audience staying in their seats?!?!?!

  • @uget1shot

    makes me wish I could get in a time machine and be at this show

  • This song can never be sung by anyone but Steve Perry. There is just no possible way this song will be done justice if not sung by him. Steve Perry IS the greatest vocalist, ever. We love ya baby. ♥

  • ~.♥.~ You are ONE IN A MILLION Baby and We Miss Your Sweet Voice! ~.♥.~ 

  • Ohhh...I Love that Sweet Voice. ♥♥♥

  • good god that was awsome.

  • He was prettied up like a girl. Great voice no doubt. If Steve had been tougher Journey would have been greater than Zeppelin.!

  • I think this is Steve Perry's all time best vocal. You can tell it meant so much to him. I love what he does with his voice and lips at 3:31. A nice little finish to this song. What an amazing talent he is.

  • @irisheyesblu i know!!

    He looks sooo cute when he does that! :)

  • Funny how even so called "jJurney fans' don't realize songs like this exist! I kinda blame the radio! Their "Infinity" albums is a perfect example! While Lights, Feeling That Way/Anytime and Wheel In The Sky are awesome, amazing songs like this, Somethin' To Hide and Winds Of March never got played! A damn shame! If your just getting into Journey or a fan because of their popular stuff you owe it to yourself to checkout their songs that weren't played on the radio! They're some of their best!

  • @gremmiehodad Very true! Their older stuff is my husband's favorite. Great tune!!!

  • The One & Only, Mr.Steve Perry! BTW, has there been a singer to come on the scene with this kinda Soul, originality, & impact on ROCK music in the past 20-25 years? (At that time there were so many people with REAL VOCAL skills in Rock music: Bobby Kimble, DIO, Joyce Kennedy, Pat Benatar, Paul Rogers, Queen Mercury, + MANY MORE! Who really brings the Soul & Power + the "make the hair stand up all over yo body" deal to ROCK in the past 20 years other than Chris Cornell, Train Dude, ANGIE A. ;-)

  • @davethedrummercancun And remember I said +MANY MORE = PLANT, Steve Walsh...

    yada yada yada :-)

  • Awesome, it gets better every time I watch it. You can see the emotion in his face and here the passion in his voice. I think the problem with AP is he doesn't seen to have the connection or warmth with the audience. You watch Steve Perry sing, it's like he's singing every song just to you.

  • This is the oldest video I have ever saw. I bet it was difficult to bring this one up mariet2.

    Can you give more details on the video where it was taken ?

    My goodness 1978 why I was 25 years old then. My little girl 2 years old.

    Lord where has the time gone?

  • Great song!!!

    We know why Greg Rollie left the band, but I've never heard why the drummer, Ansley Dunsbar <spelling? left. Anyone know? Thanks!

  • Captivating. Seriously, just a few first lines and it starts to get your heart strings...whew... man...

  • Never heard this live - thanks for posting Dude :o)

  • The Beautiful Man, With The Beautiful Voice !!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @Sepultura510 not so fast from Philly - back home for game 6......nonetheless, what a freakin voice

  • this is where it all began!!

  • such an amazing voice!

  • Simply the BEST!!!

  • Cool post Dude - great to see the band in the 70's.

  • and again ,,,, through this song... your light shines through me... Thank you Journey!

  • What a GREAT Journey song,these kids these days havn't a clue what real music is supposed to sound like..we were blessed to have gotten to love/listen to it hot off the press!!

  • This is Steve being a true musician. He changes some of the tones without altering the vocal quality

  • If AP is that great like some people says, then why he keeps singing the songs that Steve Perry made inmortal, when AP does something new and successful then we can talk about his talent. Never the copy is better than the original.

  • @naturaaleza Actually Journeys latest album is pretty good. BUT...for anyone who has listened to Steve Perry, it becomes obvious on Arnels songs, where he is not copying Steve, that he lacks Steve's...soulfulness??? Arnel lacks something and I have a hard time identifying it. I like Journeys last album, but it lacks something. Steve's voice with Neals guitar were a perfect match. I wish they could bury their differences.

  • @mountnman3609

    no one but sam cooke has the same soul

  • @mountnman3609

    no one but sam cooke has the same soulful sound

  • @mountnman3609 Arnel is lacking Steve Perry's emotive singing voice. You can really tell when you listen to Steve sing that the lyrics mean something to him emotionally and that makes you feel the emotion in the songs also.

  • @mountnman3609 I know exactly what you are saying dude..I've struggled with it for the past few years...Arnel is a decent singer in his own right...the Revelation album, and even this new Eclipse album are good musically...I had a hard time figuring out what it is about Arnel's voice that is "missing"....but I figured it out...it's frankly just unintersting...doesn't stand out...it lacks uniqueness....someone said it best.....it's like having to listen to an electric guitar that has no sustain

  • He is the best singer, that´s all

  • Yeah, this pretty much just speaks for itself. I will admit that I love Arnel's voice and thank god they found him or where would they be today?...but this...this is something entirely different...

    I sing too and only mention that because as a 'singer' (small 's'), I have at least some idea what it takes to pull that off....especially night after night....as I'm sure most of you know, it' ain't as easy as he makes it look....

  • he is soooooo sexy... so ooofable!!!

  • Thanks for posting.. BEAUTIFUL!!!!! STEVE PERRY He is one in 10 million

  • STEVE ROCKS THAT SONG!!!!!I can listen to it over and over.....

  • Beautiful! man Journey rocked in the day...

  • I love his voice and love him in white!

  • The first song these two wrote together on their first meeting.

  • Steve Perry, i want you to know that we all love you and miss you so much. Dont waste that incredible talent you have, we are hearing many rumours you are in the studio, we are all behind you, supporting and believing in you.Please believe in yourself, we all know you are the greatest male vocalist ever. Your millions fans will always be here wether you choose to release the material or not, but we all really hope you do.

  • @VeryStevePerry -couldn't have said it better.......thanks for bringing this video to us

  • @VeryStevePerry - Your Comment is PERFECT ! Thank You !

  • I have listen to so much music over the span of 40+ yrs and I have never heard a voice like this with so much heart and so much passion..He is just the greatest ever and always will be. PLEASE STEVE GIVE IT TO US ONE MORE TIME

  • @lovelyheart52

    I am a vocalist myself . I have quite the range but , as any singer will tell you , there is a difference between hitting the high notes and singing them

    Mimicking Robert Plant in his heyday is rather easy because he "hit " the high notes. Steve Perry "sings" the high notes.

    He's the best male vocalist that Rock and Roll has ever seen and I don't want to even hear it from you Freddie Mercury fans.

    Freddie is good but he's absolutely no Steve Perry.

  • Two masters for the price of one!

  • OMG listen to The Voice!!! It amazes me how Arnel fans can become incredibly upset when they read comments from people who love Steve's voice. It is not racist to prefer Steve's voice to Arnel's.Arnel is Filipino and Steve is actually Portuguese a fact some people do not seem to realise.It is not against the law to prefer Steve''s voice to Arnel's.It is a personal opinion.For me personally Steve didn't just sing he sung every song with such emotion and that is why I love Steve's voice more.

  • Comment removed

  • WHAT A VOICE, WHAT A HUNK OF GORGEOUS MAN. He truly is the best. He makes you feel all warm inside and your imagination runs WILD!!! We miss you Steve and hope you will make at least one more CD so we can listen to your velvet tones once again.

  • steve perry and neil schon have a kinship together when they play music it sure would be nice to see them do it again!!!!!!

  • The best song they ever wrote !!

    What an incredible performance this is ..Thanks for the great post mariet2

    Dave .

  • Totally awesome! Now, THIS is when Journey was Journey...

  • true that 100 % :)

  • @covenstead for me Journey now is New Journey.They will never ever be again the band they were with Steve in my opinion. I wish Steve would release a new cd soon before it becomes too late. He is sixty one now. I really would love for Steve to be able to show Jonathan and Neal they made a huge mistake in trying to replace him as lead singer and for Arnel to be awestruck at hearing Steve's voice now. We believe in you Steve.We hope to hear from you very soon.

  • @eljay345 -- I agree - I'd like to hear that, too.

  • thank you for the inspiration...the feeling of not giving up in times of sorrows and pain...i really appreciate the songs of JOURNEY,,

    and i really love sing it well..keep on rockin'''with heart and soul...

  • of course. there is no one that sang like Steve Perry before Steve Perry and there is no one like him after Steve Perry.

    This is a moment in time.

  • love journey steve and neil help me along in my teen years music was my life and still is thanks for all the years .. jrny.

  • Steve Perry, I'm so in love with you. So cute, sexy and adorable with the voice of an angel. ♥♥♥

  • STEVE AND JOURNEY = SUCCESS.......

  • I have just read thru all the comments on this song, they made me feel emotional and tearful whilst reading thru them, in a good way though. I hope Steve sees these comments and realises what he means to his fans. We love you Steve Perry, you are one in a billion !

  • actually awesome group to c in concert,back in the 80's.....steve was ex...cellent........journey is not journey without steve perry......great performance....love them......

  • Beautiful, both is voice and appearance.

    thank you Steve, for being there for us. You are the best. Thank you.

  • BEAUTIFUL

  • been a fan since Next...thru it all as a guitarist - my favorite parts in Journey are when Neal/Steve sing/play lead lines together like on the pre-lead here. One of their better compositions.

  • Neal has always been my reason for being a Journey fan but what a voice perry had! .. What awesome pipes!

  • Overtly, Patiently, the first song they cowrote, reveals the love they had for each other and for the spotlight. The looks they share on stage (here and on Girl Can't Help It) reveal a lot more. I often wonder if Perry wasn't replaced by Cain in Schon's affections and it destroyed them, not his hip surgery.

  • I love that sweet, angelic smile Steve gives at the very end of this song. He must bring an angelic smile to his beloved mother's face in heaven every time she sees how her precious son still touches all our hearts with his beautiful soul carried along on his perfect voice. We love you Steve! Your mom is eternally proud of her baby :-)

  • I love this song, Steve sings it so beautifully, i agree with softspoken44, a perfect 10!

  • Steve is the package deal.can't say that about too many singers,he's the perfect 10 in every way,looks,hair,voice,personali­ty etc etc...wish him well and hopefully he'll come out and please his fans again soooon!

  • Weve waited patiently and we dont stop believing! Make your voice heard and bring Steve back to the fans!! Sign the Steve Perry Sing Again petition at petitiononlinecom and let him know were tired of waiting.

  • Such a beautiful song and only these live versions showcase Journey as the amazing band they were.

    Loved Neal on the acoustic guitar!  And as always Steve Perry, OMG, what can you say, the man is a vocal genius. Thank you Mariet!

  • Dear Steve:

    We Perry Gals have been waiting very Patiently for the NEW CD. We know it will be worth the wait. We love you.

  • We fans have waited soo patiently...

    Steve Perry I'm soo glad you are finally coming out with a solo CD this year.

    Once I hear when I will GLADLY share the date! OH YEAH!

    Shine you shall...

    Journey~Steve Perry on!

  • is this video available somewhere commercially? i love this tune and this is the very early perry at his best.

  • """On an interview with UK's "Planet Rock" radio station on February 3rd 2010, Steve stated that although he is not currently recording in a studio, he has been writing new material for his own personal use, and that he misses the thrill of performing live."""

    I'm so disappointed... (((((

  • Hello Steve Perry, tomorrow is your day. PERRYBIRTHDAY! Mallison78 is right, this is where it all began...

    I can't wait for your solo in Feb. YES, SP has a solo coming out next month. I'm Sooo excited!

  • Beautiful song....

    "The Voice" touches ones heart. This simple story of HOPE with making it with the band. Dreams of being patient...

    JOURNEY~STEVE PERRY ON!

  • when are we ever going to hear his voice again? his voice is timeless!

  • I just read the steve is elgible for the induction to the rock-n-roll hall of fame 2010. I read a lot of coments that were from his fans, so I hope it happens because he deserves it. Let's continue until it happens.

  • GO to ROCK-N-ROLLhall of fame and ad steve's name to the list. Let's put him where he belongs as the VOICE, the greatest singer.

  • @lovelyheart52

    Rock n Roll Hall of Shame!! WTF-Still no Steve! They should be ashamed of themselves.

  • Yes cohen, they sghould be ashamed, but he is eligble now and I hope they do the right thing. We can all help him by adding his name. I did some months ago and so did a few others from you tube. so let's kep it up!!!!

  • So beautiful... The voice Steve Perry, Neal guitar... Awesome...

  • A truly beautiful song, written by Neal and Steve, and then executed brilliantly by all.

    There is no voice on this planet like Steve's.

  • this is how its done...now it's just a puppet show....

  • is that greg rollie on the keyboard.. Neil schon, wat a haircut! and greg V, u look different... Arnel P did justice in this song last 3 weeks ago.. U brought soul in steve perry rendition of this song. thanks!!

  • YUCK!!

  • Rock on Journey~Steve Perry...

    Steve Perry is "The Voice of Journey".

    Love this song...

  • Comment removed

  • This is just another example why Journey was kept from being given R&R HOF status. HOFshould have happened a decade ago, but SP, for majority of people I know and from reading all the zillions of critiques, simply did not exude that strong, hard-driven hard-rocker persona that the general music spectators seem to look for. In some ways the SP-led Journey may have unfairly placed in the same category as Air Supply. The now AP-led Journey appear to be changing that perception. Go Journey!

  • God I love this song and it's sung by the awesome Steve Perry... Steve Perry will and always be "THE VOICE OF JOURNEY".

  • No, Greg Rollie is and will always be the VOICE of Journey.

  • Part 1: AP is amazing! There's a vid out where the camera zooms in towards the stage, but before you get a chance to see who is at the mic, you'd swear it was SP! BUT...after watching the same song song again live but with SP, you cannot deny SP had a better voice (I doubt he can sing better than AP now).

  • Part 2:

    One more thing, these youtube vids cannot reproduce the hi-fidelity a good CD can . Listen to the new Journey CD and through a decent system and you'll see AP, although his voice is INCREDIBLE, is not as sharp and tight as SP!

  • PART 3: I just popped the CD in....yeah, AP is OK. His voice just doesn't cut through like SP's...maybe it's just a lowsy recording cause everyone sounds like crap on it.

  • steve peryy you are one in a million.. we miss you..
