  • The Voice.

  • his voice was a truly beautiful

  • eat that american idol!

  • Does anyone else think that Steve got his nose done after this period but before 1981? The tip looks different to me.

  • Steve Perry, ah what a voice!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Steve Perry is probably one of the greatest male vocalists ever. I truly love his voice and talent.

  • This song has the heart of the 70s in it.

    I was a kid back then, but gosh, I remember and love those days.

  • Best for in the biz!

  • like......rawk on.....great tune...

  • awesome song

  • classic... i love this song.. Steve is truly a legend..

  • it makes me feel like im watching a ghost sing lol

    perry rules!! =]

  • 1st Time I have seen this video or even heard this song. Thanks for posting.

  • How fucking awesome is this song? You are fucking awesome for posting this!

  • Steve Perry is a freakin god. Journey has SUCKED ever since he "left".This band never has been and NEVER will be the same without Perry as the front man....Thanks 4 posting this vid!...STEVE PERRY NOW AND 4EVER...

  • All kids today should listen to this to learn how you build a and structure a song with all the instruments matching to an awesome voice,in this case,THE BEST !!!

  • I was born in 1968..Journey is basically the soundtrack of my childhood! SO freakin amazing!

  • Oh my god... I have always loved this voice!

  • To everyone, there is great talent right before your eyes, I hope steve is alright we miss him , He was Happy To Give!!! My Family Misses You!!

  • Those songs are sung each and every time with a TRUE passion. Imagine everything you do giving everything you have to give nearly every night. I can't believe he didn't just drop dead on the stage one night God forbid. He truly gave it all he had and we all benefited greatly from it. I knwow it took a toll. I salute the greatest VOICE in music

    Thank you

    LB

  • Great song...superb voice

  • steve wasn't the ego, neal seemed to want to run the show, since rollie left . I met the guys at NAMM in 87. my band was lucky, all of journey were great,except neal, what a d..k the new kid is good (when he's not flat or sharp) but he's no steve perry. guy's remember kenny,.. miss ya steve. c.s. frm."legend"

  • I remember reading somewhere about the band not even wanting Steve Perry at 1st and they wanted to go with somebody else? What could have been a mistake turned the tide and made them all millionaires!!

  • The best voice ever!

  • puppet show of the '80's

  • it never ceases to amaze the hate people have just because it is not their favorite or they just did not get it...........

  • Makes me wish I had a time machine and could go back to 1978! Thank you!

    I am lucky enough to have seen Journey 3 times (with Steve Perry) in the early 80's.

  • wow....beautiful voice......just smooth and velvety....Mega voice that still melts my heart. Thanks Perryfan4ever..

  • One of the 3 best rock and roll voices ever. Too bad his ego got in the way. I still enjoy Journey with their new singer and all, but miss Perry. Neal still has it together as he did then. Just play r&r.

  • They sure don't make em' like this any more!!!

  • @Glen3467 absolutely...

  • Steve Perry Greatest Rock Singer Ever and No One Compares to Neals Playin'.

  • Post more from this concert, this and the recently unearth footage of the REAL Journey from 1976 are probably the rarest footage of the band out there today. Unless the hoarders got better goods :)

  • just great...

  • This along with Styx's' "Suite Madame Blue" has to be one of the greatest Rock Ballads of ALL TIME! Frickin Awesome!

  • JRNY LIVES 4EVER

  • Wow. That brings back memories. I was blessed to see him sing that from backstage in 1978. Thank you so much.

  • This is freaking awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!­!!

  • Haven't yet heard any of the new songs that Arnel sings on their Revelation album. The problem is, when he sings 'steve's' songs-it is like watching a very good Elvis impersonator-you want to have the original back so badly that you'll suspend disbelief to 'pretend' that it is Steve-which is really unfortunate because AP is VERY talented in his own right. A shame that he couldn't break in as himself, not as Schon's desperate replacement for Steve. I just can't get past that it ISN'T Steve!

  • This is my all-time favorite Journey song and no one has ever heard of it :-(

  • Oh my dear friend, you are not alone! I used to have to put the needle back to this tune in the day, because i wanted to hear it over and over.

  • oh yes i have did air drums with headphones on to my record player in the early 80s and to people and places

  • Neal's Fro is the best!

  • Steve is AWESOME. Please don't compare Steve, who quit Journey when he was 37 (for all practical purposes), with Arnel who struggled for 27 years to get noticed and finally joined the band when he was 40. They are completely different but they are both AWESOME. It is like comparing diamonds with diamonds.

  • 5 STAR POST!!! HATS OFF!! CONNIE

  • steve is so cute, and his voice is amazing!!

  • I remeber in 79-80 going to see Journey. We paid $30.00 a piece for 8th row floor, center. These we bought from scalpers, ha ha. Times they are a changin.

  • THANK YOU THANK YOU so so so much for posting this!!!! the audio is amazing, i've got goosebumps!!!! :)

  • edtate02 must be high, Arnel is very good but isn't even in the same solar system as Perry in his prime!

  • Considering how washed out the video is, it's surprising that the audio is so clear. Thanks for sharing this.

  • hey edtate02.........are you high?????? do your ears work??? Arnel better then Perry???? not in this lifetime!

  • OR THE NEXT!!

  • jrizle86, NO ARNEL PINEDA IS AS GOOD OR BETTER THAN STEVE PERRY!!!!!!!!!!!!! (depends on which song you listen to)

  • You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!

  • steve augeri-$ 20.000

    jeff scott soto-$5.00

    arnel pineda-$ 70.000

    STEVE PERRY - PRICELESS

  • 1:WoW!2:S-Great!3:Steve Perry the man the Voice;)

    4 :This song is top 3:)

  • This is incredible. I never saw them when Gregg Rolie was still w/the band to my eternal shame. This song stands the test of time.

  • wonderful video great song. journey and steve forever¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ viva.

  • WOW -GREAT VIDEO FIND!!! Thanks for posting :) STEVE'S BACK IN THE STUDIO -- MAYBE WE WON'T HAVE TO WAIT LONG FOR "THE VOICE" TO BE BACK ON STAGE !!!! ROCK ON PERRY !!

  • This is the most amazing song! Wonderful Video Thank you for posting!

  • Amazing "vintage" video. Where in the flip does something like this surface from???

  • Check out Neal and that fro!!

  • Thanks YouTube for existing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I have been a Journey lover, especially Steve Perry, from way back! I think I was maybe 9 when I first heard Journey (not w/Steve, but gorgeous nontheless). This is one of my all time favorite songs. It showcases Steve's talent as well as every other band member. They are in rare form. I love it!!!! T Thank you for this glimpse. I was too young to be there, but what a show it must have been! Thank you from "T" from Portland, OR.

  • all HAIL to "THE VOICE""!!!!!!!

  • This jam with Schons guitar, that keyboard and Steves voice, bring into a nutshell Journeys attributes.

  • STEVE WE LOVE YOU!

  • amazing..AS USUAL

    I love this song/Journey/SP!!

  • HUY ME ENCANTA...

  • Happy Birthday, Steve, and hope you enjoy the BIG 6-0!!!! Over 30 years, you've given me -- and legions of other longtime fans -- BEAUTFIUL MEMORIES and UNFORGETTABLE MUSIC. I followed you from the verrrrry beginning, through the '80s, and on through FTLOSM. I LOVED EVERY MOMENT AND WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING.

    Your music (with the Steve Perry ~Journey~) has been part of the soundtrack of my life. Bob Dylan's provided much of the rest. ;)

    ALL THE BEST!!!

  • LOVE it.

  • It's hard to imagine how anyone could sustain such vocal perfection through an entire concert...and then he did this night after night, day after day..year after year...ASTONISHING MAN with extraordinary self-discipline. Thank you Steve for all you gave...May your 60th year be your best yet!

  • 99minerkc,I think 1972 but Perry joined them in 1977 and went their separate ways in 1998.Google Steve Perry to find more info ok.Perry ON.....

  • When did Journey come together as a group? Also, when did Steve P. leave(when he did Sherrie)?

  • I am...speechless...really, speechless. Good thing I wasn't there - you would have had to pull me off the floor!

  • amazing. He has to be one of the best singers of ALL TIME. top 5, definitely.

    thanks for posting! classic!

  • oo no u just didnt did u say steve perry is in the top 5 -WTF hell no say that again - steve perry is way up above around the best singers in the world - NEVER DISRESPECT STEVE PERRY again understand that

  • Classic. Period.

  • Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. That was epic! My favourite Journey line-up, too. <3

  • half of Journey is touring jaja, Steve is irremplazable

  • AWESOME!!!! Love it!

  • It doesn't get much better than this.

  • This is what youtube is all about ! look at this old rock history. Neil, What an incredible guitar player . He played that solo note for note just like the album. Thanks so much for posting this gem perryfan4ever.

    Dave.

  • LOVE IT!!!

  • AWESOME! Thanks so much for sharing

  • Quite simply the finest singer of all time. Thanks for this great video.

  • Thanks so much for this hard-to-find peek at Steve Perry. I first saw him & Journey during the '81 Rolling Stones concerts. He just seemed to JUMP offstage and GRAB the audiences by the throats. Such TALENT: both his voice and as a performer.

  • zimmiesgirl, you are SO right . I remember those concerts too and he was spectacular ! Love him to this day and forever !

  • Journey's sound at this moment is spectacular. Perry is fire and passion. Rock on Journey, rock on!!!

  • I LOVE the all-too-rare songs where Neal plays an acoustic guitar. Awesome!

  • 4:23-4:25 What a hot little move, Steve! Mmm.

  • hoo hoo!!!!

    I agree!!!!!

    Num yum yum!!!

  • Além de raro é fantastico........

  • Fantástico Mr Perry sempre será o melhor...

  • Greg Rollie left because he felt burnt out. He was on the road between Sanatana and Journey for 10 years.

  • Glen3467,

    True, and that's the same reason why Steve Perry left the band in 1987.

  • I never heard this song before I watched this clip, and I must say I truely LOVE it! How much feeling Steve puts into the song and his beautiful phrasing. Everyone who had a hand in writing this song did an excellent job. Fleischman also did a great job writing "Wheel in the sky".

  • I think gregg rolie should have stayed in the band he is awsome!

  • Yes I feel the same way. Have you heard "GRINGO"

    This is a great solo album from him.

  • Spellbinding!

  • Ladies and gentlemen, Steve Perry the god that walks amongst us!!!

  • dawndelrae, I have been a fan of Steve's for many years and he is my favorite vocalist but please...he is not GOD.

  • esta cancion es muy bonita........ te amo steve perry.......

  • Is that Greg Rollin on keyboard?

  • dappawap,

    Yes, it is Gregg Rolie.

  • Steve has the most incredible voice of anyone I have ever heard. He is such a true talent. I never get tired of listening to Steve sing, his voice can put a smile on my face regardless of the type of day. I also wish I could have seen Steve Perry perform ANYTHING live at least once.

  • qcluvthehair, he puts a smile on my face and a true talent

  • man I wish I could have seen this live

  • Steve....truly the voice of an angel....

  • get in line!!!!! you gotta be shitting me! who is better than this? i can count on 5 fingers who should be in the confab!

  • LOVE this song..! one of my favorites! only Steve Perry can SING a POEM like an angel!!!

    Neal's playing is fantastic too!!!

  • This is really a beautiful song.

  • This man cannot be touched. No one will ever compare. His legacy will live on through his fans who remain ever faithful.

  • Holy shit! Is Neal really up to 4 ex wives?! Think he's just not the marrying type? Lol! I love him anyway!!!

  • CHIDAISY04,

    Yup...it's true. Some would say he can't make a commitment to a woman - or a lead singer, for that matter! Some would say that, but I won't.

  • JRNYMAN,

    I don't think Neal knows what the word "commitment" means. So sad, what a loss!

  • Come on? Can you see Pineda pull shit like this live? No way. I seen and heard him. I love Neal, tearing it up with his fro!

  • FANTASTIC! That sounded SOOOOO damn GOOOOOD!!! Thanks for sharing!

  • Thank you Perryville! One of the best Steve songs ever! Appreciate being able to see it!!!!

  • fantastic video ~journey never sounded better

  • Yes! He is the voice!

  • He truly has The Voice of an angel....

  • Steve Perry is a LEGEND! I can't wait until the new cd which I've heard is to be out sometime early 09. Info was found at other Perry song commment post.

  • Steve perry is a legend,

    No one can replace him.

  • I appreciate the spread that you do about our idol, Steve Perry. But I think that it should be more nice from you to put his name instead of the site name. We have to spread Steve clips, not our name or the site name. Forgive my sincerity.

    ______________________________­____________________________

  • i read the gq interview perry is back with a cd in a year the music is done.cant wait too here it an a tour

  • Could someone please talk him into rejoining the group. Who pissed him off? The new guy sounds ok, but not like steve. This is awesome. My husbands favorite song by them.

  • Hi iowa58, I hope you don't mind me responding to your comment, but I really think this is the subject Steve Perry hates is when and if he will rejoin Journey. This is my favorite Journey tune too. Your husband has excellent taste. If you haven't read it by now, please go read the article online at GQ Magazine called "Foolish, Foolish Throat" by Steve Perry. You'll love it. It's an excellent interview with Steve. Take care.

  • go to his website and see explanations. doesn't seem pissed off...had health issues and they moved on without him.

  • now this is the 4th lead singer to face the awesome journey..i grew up with this most awesome group!! but, without steven perry its just not the same journey to me..but, im going anyhow 31jul08 in wpb, fl..along with cheap trick and heart.. I totally love journey and all the other bands..Steven dont know where u r my friend but, good luck!! u were the best of Journey and always will b!!!!just like VH dlr back tks god!!!!

  • I've looked beyond the whole Steve Perry thing for quite a while now. I love Steve A and now with Arnel, and the new CD Arnel brings a modern sound to the band with due credit to Cain and Schon for their music writing. I think the new CD rocks and there's no doubting that they have a new sound, which I like very much, just I liked "Generations" I'll alway's have an affection for Steve P but I"m over it now, unless he wants to come back and include most of his own songs.

  • Revelation has a new, *modern* sound?? LOL It harks back to their 80s sound in every possible way. And falls short in doing  even that.

    Hard to believe two of the guys in what is nowadays called Journey, actually were part of something as sublime as Winds Of March thirty years ago...

  • BRUCELEE1940,

    Journey has had 6 lead singers: Gregg Rollie, Robert Fleischman, Steve Perry, Steve Augeri, Jeff Scott Soto and now Arnel Pineda. Pineda is 40+ but still does a good Perry impression - for now. Neal tours relentlessly to make the alimony $ for his 4 wives. It is doubtful that Arnel will be able to keep-up with Neal's demanding scheduling, as Arnel, too, will eventually become vocally shredded like the other Perry replacements...

    I wonder who singer Number 7 will be?

  • Funny, really? ...basically, kinda, sorta, really?

  • BRUCELEE1940,

    Deen Castronovo while never named as "lead singer" did sing - quite capably- lead vocals on a number of songs in live performances during both SA's and JSS's tenures.

  • Man, oh, man! Steve Perry in his prime...I dare anybody to bring on anybody...Nobody could touch him...What a miraculous voice this is...Absolutely the best!!!

  • Stunningly beautiful. I never tire of hearing Steve Perry's voice. His voice is a gift from God.

  • You said it.

  • Steve was their precious child.

  • Gorgeous

  • Thank-you for this video. Brought tears to my eyes!

  • Perry used to hit those soaring notes so smoothly and effortlessly. Every night was truly an inspriring experience. Those were some special days. I miss them. : (

  • What a voice...I never get tired of hearing Steve Perry sing. Rock will not see another voice like his.

  • he sings this song with so much passion, how can one not love him and his voice?

    I love you Steve! You'll always be in my heart! <3

  • We all love him! his passion for music has brought us some great songs.

  • Where did Greg Rolie's organ solo go?

    In any case, a classic song by a classic band.

  • thank you for uploading! this brings memories from childhood!

  • This song is a classic-Luv it.

  • AWESOME!!! Thank you soooo much for this post

    Steve 4-ever

  • OMG. I love this song! I love how he sings it with such passion! He actually captures the sound of the wind in those amazing vocal cords he has! What a man! What a shame that JRNY is no longer JRNY! Weel, at least not MY JNRY!

  • OMG...listen to that VOICE! Is it not the greatest voie of all time!!!!!!!!! Such passion!

  • A W E S O M E !!!!

  • Thank you! Awesome. One of my all time favorites!

  • brings back so many great memories, seeing them in the T Bowlback in the early 80s in Orlando, coming home, singing this in my living room and trying to hit every note. Steve is the man, the best voice, biggest range, the crooner of R&R. this song is so great, going from such poetic softness, to hard driving G, then back again. Can't get enough, thank you Perryfan4ever, great find!

  • This sounds like a concert I have on cassette from the Capitol theatre in Passaic NJ. Plassaic??? Never knew there was video. Go Aynsley!

  • Excellent sound quality!

  • WHAT A VOICE!!!!!

  • What else is there to say? Just listen. Awesome!

  • Steve's version of this is better then the original guy (Robert Fleischman) ever was...

  • Freddie Mercury was awesome too!

    Why the bad mouthing?

  • I didnt think it was possible for me to ever fall for this mans voice any more than I already have.  This has just pushed me past that point. The way he can hold those notes its just phenominal. He is such a fantastic performer and the best eye candy there is.

  • Totally agree with you. I luv seeing this Old footage of them live. the more I see, I admire SP even more for his talent and that VOICE the clarity, range, emotion, passion,and yes he is eye candy... ;o)(sigh)

  • THIS is what made me love them from moment one! I miss Steve Perry and I miss bands with real talent!
