I love how he emphasizes "A Little Longer". He has such a unique way of singing and it is so one of a kind. He is the whole package , love the hair and the white pants. geez.
As Gregg said, "they don't call it the Infinity tour for nothing". Maybe he was tired. Doesn't look like it to me though. You would be amazed if you Googled the dates for the Infinity tour. INSANE! In March alone they played 25 shows! I can't even imagine a tour like that. If Steve Perry had no voice left to this day, I wouldn't be shocked, but he does stilll have it. By the way he looks angelic in this video, thanks for posting!
Now I remember why I grew up liking white jeans/pants on guys and long hair. hah! Love this vid. reminds me of when I was a kid....good quality. Steve is wonderful....and check out the 'fro!! Love it!!!!
What is wonderful is hearing all the different versions of the same song. The tempo, voice inflections, vocal quality, styling, facial expressions, and body language create a fresh nuance with every performance. Steve never seemed mechanical. Here he almost seems to sing it shyly-an endearing performance.
This is so early in the game he may have had a case of the nerves. Cant believe his voice cracked but from how still he was on stage and how he held that mic stand so much I think he was having nerve issues here. Lot of pressure as he was still very much the new guy and had to win over people and the band too !
why arent these people freaking out? I woulda jump on the stage and kiss and hug Steve! :D maybe they werent so famous here but still, u know...Steve, is HOT!
In my opinion, I think he looks really tired here... but you can't blame him, Journey was performing 6 out of 7 days of the week! His eyelids look really sleepy and you guys know how your voice changes when you get exhausted!
My 4 year old right now bobs heads when it hears Journey songs. Thanks to the current Journey lineup, they gave my son the chance to see them rocking on stage.
No one could fill this mans shoes. His voice was not only the best suited vocals for these musicians but the first male Rock/Pop singer with vocals uncomparable.
@NoJboysAPNOJourney, you are CRAZY. Steve Perry has been famous for DECADES! YOU are IGNORANT and were Obviously NOT born in the Correct ERA to APPRECIATE THE GREAT MUSIC OF ROCK N ROLL. YOU Need to upload some more RAP and fuck off! Perry FANS YOU, CREEP!
It just utterly amazes me how many people just discovered Steve Perry in the last several years. He is an unattainable voice, living and breathing in California. Not performing:( breaks my world . I pray that the stories of Steve back recording is true. It's on my bucket list, to see and hear Steve Perry perform live in concert! Perryon2011~ and Beyond
Steve did seem to struggle a bit with this song.....maybe he had a cold. He was singing in a lower register. I can honestly say that this is the first video I have come across that he was not spot on vocally. He is such a talent.
Idk if the Aynsley set the tempo faster, Steve seemed to shorten up the words a tad. I think one of the members in the band was off a bit in the backing vocals. I still love him and his performance here and he does look amazing!! Boy, I thought I was defensive of Steve Perry! lol
@irisheyesblu Most of the videos I've seen from bands playing on the Midnight Special played the songs faster tempo. Maybe for time constrictions? Idk, but that can be the only explanation I can think of since in their videos of them in their OWN concerts...I think the tempo is ok. I can hear the faster tempo in this video.
@butrfly1023 Thats not true at all. you want to hear fast tempo click on any videos or any of journeys live albums and they are stupidly fast. this is the only good recording of Wheel in the sky worth a crap.
@bloodest66 better than you who actually ARE gay. on second thought. I take that back, you're probably still in the closet and calling superior people gay to compensate.
I do appreciate the first three albums with Perry. The addition of Jonathan Kane was an attribute, and with his song writing collaborations with Perry, created their transitional sound in 1981.

steve's voice is different and more severe than normal, steve that era had a voice sweeter and louder and he could reach the notes.
It is not what we see and hear in this video.
