Journey - "Wheel In The Sky" Live in Japan 1981

[MurkyRow]

Steve perry: c'mon guys last song on the set list! I wanna go back to the hotel so let's speed it up! Neal if you take a 30 min solo I'm gonna shove that guitar up your ass!

[tarikochico]

@0.57 best moonwalk EVER

[bapbap24]

Man they toured so much too. All year long. How the heck did his voice hold out?

[verindi]

We can agree tho that there's no other better SECOND choice lol XD Steve Perry will always be first

[cuwer15]

this guy doesn't know how to perform -.-

[SlowSlowSloth]

@cuwer15 What the hell are you talking about?

[cuwer15]

@SlowSlowSloth I meant he sucks

[TheBarbon85]

@cuwer15 Yeah that's why five-figure audiences routinely paid to see him, and still would if he were in the music business.

[42lynchmob]

Bad Ass. God Damn I love America. Death to all Taliban, or anyone that would want to destroy this.

[zookeeper92300]

Whoever Journey gets , they can Never replace - Steve Perry or his Magical Voice and Raw ness to it ... especially " live performances" as above...... I could never waste a concert ticket on a sound alike ....

[Aislekelly]

@zookeeper92300 agree! 

[tuting1965]

shiiiit! sound like a FAG! arnel pineda voice is manly

[two23rem]

@tuting1965 manly or mainly bad. No comparison to perry.

[ShadowSpartan9x]

@two23rem whoever thinks arnel is better than steve is braindead.

[txlastrebel]

@ShadowSpartan9x and tone deaf.

[923INDIANGIRL]

Afraid to go to my Led Zepplin site's and see the dislikes.....AGREE...The World has gone CRAZY !!!!! People just don't know what true Rock "n" Roll really is, these ten people are really "LOST !!!! "

[pollonero3]

10 dislike? omg thw world's going crazy...

[RetroLaydeh42]

I love Steve Perry!

[LadyDaher]

I keep coming here to hear that incredible Neal's solo!! He knows how to play with passion...

[JuggiGenius]

Steve, I love this upbeat Version! <3 H-BomB, CA

[diansomarina1]

SP is a great singer n i respect that,but that was in the 80s.But the new lead singer AP is a good singer too n he is not a copy cat he has his own style the movement n the way he sing.He is more warmer n when he sing it,it goes through you,he wants u to feel it and thats the different bet. the two of them.I like SP too but lets respect him,he doesnt want to sing anymore.

[steveperrydaman]

@diansomarina1 Well actually he is Steve is working on some solo stuff right now so i think he wants to get back into it which is so awesome.

[beeteep60]

sounds like there playing the song too fast

[PreshuzRuby]

I wish I was there!

[journeyfreek]

Beautiful Steve Perry!!!!

[ThatGuy1509]

0:04 - 0:12 I bet he even cried this in tune as a baby.

[hicast1]

his voice brings me to tears

[gluchnurse]

Don't know how I missed this one! GREAT POST! His ability to change up songs keeps blowing me away. No performance is like any other-the man never seemed to just 'phone it in'. An amazing dedication to his craft-and a talent unlike any one before or since!

[hans1177]

That's called a FREAKEN awesome MULET

[ShadowSenator]

Steve looks like dean winchester with long hair at 2:55 xD

[Icelake84]

@ShadowSenator LOL it's true! :)

[masteratC]

wow they really sped up the song for this concert

[UberHumz]

As much as I like the live performances, I prefer when they play it with a slower tempo like the studio version. Steve's voice is still great, but there isn't as much time to appreciate his vibrato with the song playing so quickly.

[ForTheLulzWTF]

Good job Messi!

[avii5429]

<3 <=== That's all I need to say

[Jamesgarcia100]

looks like steve is moon walking in the ... awesome!!

[gupper83]

@popymade, your negative remarks are just negative.  Unless you are Steve Perry or the band members you shouldn't comment! That's how rumors get started, Moron.

[gluchnurse]

@gupper83 Agree gupper! I doubt if any of them minded the money and commercial success they enjoyed during all the years of service he gave to the band, or the Grammy nomination that resulted from his returning in Trial by Fire. Bottom line is that no one can deny that he is a musical genius-and the band's inner workings are like a family-only those involved know the true dynamics...

[ArnelPinedaSucks]

@JuggiGenius He told ya huh? 

[ArnelPinedaSucks]

@JuggiGenius Hmm... OK, but only TIME WILL TELL

[NoSteveNoPoint]

@JuggiGenius Liar! Steve does NOT want to go back with Journey. I know this for a FACT!

[MrSnottwat]

Excellent post.TYVM \m/

[mario4090]

Brings back such memories, damn where has the time gone! 

[gupper83]

Each time I hear Steve Perry sing any Journey song, the same rushes in my mind...Greatness ~ Perryon ~2011 and Beyond!

[jandyluv]

Definitely one of the best singers of all time......the new singer doesnt hold a candle to Steve Perry!!!!

[cardinaldriver]

I just don't get how this band ever broke up?!? Perry and Smith seemed to have the pefect chemistry on-stage, but yet broke up the band because of their disagreements. Nice shorts Steve!

[SherriannMiller]

Steve Perry is a my best friend. I love his music.... And this song is one of my favorites...................

[nollie935]

people say he dresses like a girl,my teacher says girls dress like him. i guess that was the style back then. He is the KING OF SING

[SherriannMiller]

@nollie935 Steve Perry and his band ...... were not able to dress as they wanted during this concert!

[nollie935]

people say he dresses like a girl,my teacher says girls dress like him. i guess that was the style back then

[liloleme29]

Yes, he's quite a talent...great concert!!!!

[sanchez668]

rock on!!! love it!

[RyneProductionz]

Thumbs up if you think Steve Perry is the best singer EVER!!!!! :)

[brilliantos]

Jonathon Cain on guitar...then keyboards! Hats off to the man, great musician!

[Perrygodmother]

FYI SONY I buy the CD after tasting the song.

[cairsahr64]

Love Steve Perry, "the voice". The Rolling Stones, the Beatles, etc, all suck. Steve Perry beats them all to hell.

[slpau4]

Steve Perry is the voice

[vagg66]

great!!!!

[TheSunnyGirl83]

Steve Perry is so great!!! I love his voice.

[Slash1374]

this is real rockn roll, damn

[TheFunny997]

I always get goosebumps when he sings 'Wheel in the ...' at the beginning ;d

[samoht1965]

Wunderschöne (und noch Hand gemachte!) Mucke!

In meiner Jugend bin ich im SOUND auf der Tanzfläche total abgegangen!!!

Kennt noch jemand von Euch das SOUND!?

[gregboyds]

@samoht1965 No nazi language please.

[aliensamuraipirate]

omigosh, he is so cute! he is an all-around beautiful person. (steve perry)

[aliensamuraipirate]

omigosh, he is so cute! he is an all-around beautiful person.

[popymade]

@aliensamuraipirate not really, he caused a lot of trouble and conflict within the band. but his voice was amazing.

[ShadowSenator]

this song make me feel like the master of the universe

[iwuvnjonas]

i wish Steve Perry was still singing today.... :'(

[ultrasuperx]

JJJJJJJJJJJJJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUU­UUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNN­NNNEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYY! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[wvClifton]

where's ross valery? out for a beer?

[SuperArschloch3000]

@wvClifton i think so

[theberg988]

The beginning reminds me of Will Ferrell in Step Brothers when he's singing for Dale. Cracks me up! (I'm not bashing Perry, but you gotta admit that it's pretty darn close)

[Schon2112]

I have yet to fall off the JOURNEY Bandwagon!

[selenah1]

This band absolutely RULED the late 70's and early 80's .

[charles121251]

Who is the other guitar player?

[SteveAugeriRocks]

Jonathan Cain is the other guitar player. Neal Schon is lead

[waywardsmile]

@charles121251 .....Not sure if you got SteveAugeriRocks comment, but Jonathan Cain is the other guitar player...and Ross Valory is on bass. Jon is usually behind the piano.

[windyhillsss]

The Best Rock Singer Ever, I mean Ever!!! long Live Steve Perry

[stinkwitch]

@windyhillsss best ever and yes he is sooooooo sexy

[trancosomarcus]

STEVE IS THE VOICE, NOT SINATRA!

[purpleskaterz98]

[TheTammy1122]

HIS VOICE FLAWLESS. ONE OF THE BEST VOICES OF ALL TIME.

[coCoRaWk]

[Warcraft20101]

[bobbigboss111]

An angelical voice. One of my favorite singers.

[jirogoto02]

One of the best singers in HISTORY! EVER!  :)

[jirogoto02]

One of the best singers in HISTORY! EVER! :)

[VictorNYC]

Steve Perry's poor attempt at the Moonwalk. 0:56 LOL

[RealFlaw]

Amazing. Journey is not "Journey" without Steve Perry. Simple as that! Will go down as one of the best vocalists ever

[yoake2010]

Nice songs and voice. And cool !!!

リアルタイムの時代に生まれていたら行きたかった！

この人のヴォーカルの時代に。

[trustmereally]

Only two words can describe Steve...."Steve Perry" ...Nothing more, Nothing less....

[frankyjmartinez]

xP screw modern "singing".

[beanierene]

Singing was like breathing for Steve.

Steve will always be the only voice of Journey.

[mosquewatcher]

PERRY

GOD

OF

VOICE

[luvperry08]

Hia voice chills me !

[PauseRock]

Me Like a Lot..Steve Perry One Of The Best Singer Ever..

[CapitalgCapitals]

He owned that set....!!  Great Year...!!

[trollycar22]

Wooooww!! What a masterpiece!!  I will never get tired of seeing this! Great way to spend a holiday - looking at and listening to Steve Perry!

[mcristhebest1]

love what he does at the beggining Steve was brilliant and the rest also

[s2krollin85]

he just rocks!! and is sooo sexy!!

[melonbaby77]

Die "Stimme" haut mich immer wieder um ... einfach nur toll!

[partyongarth420]

oh damn.. that up tempo is way to much lol.. steve pulled it off with the super high sharp vocals..

[mattstoned80]

steve perry is the voice of Journey..... just like axl rose is of gnr and brian scott of acdc and james hetfield of metallica, pete steele of type o......... bruce of iron maiden..................... this is it .............. thats it thats all

[zonkedforlife2]

Perry wants the crowd to sing along but don't they all speak japanese? especially in the early 80's.

[marco64galrza]

a perry le falto tenia que cantar mejor

[Metalstryke]

@NoSteveNoJ0urney why do the phillipinos get all pissed when we critisize arnel, I wonder if many would even listen to Journey if he wasnt phillipino, aside that the only reason hes in the band is cause he's a steve perry wannabe

[jmills1215]

well, my face just melted. thanks neil schon.

[Perrygodmother]

Wow, that's my bpy.

[Gabegs]

Man he is great in this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gyuuk]

3:11 Speechless

[JourneyRocks13666]

Steve is better than Arnel, but Arnel does not suck

[eringryffin]

@JourneyRocks13666 Gosh, you just typed my thoughts in a nutshell. Why one or the other has to suck? To me there's no one, NO ONE, like Steve,, but that doesn't mean this Arnel guy doesn't have a really good voice.

[ThunderinTyphoons]

@JourneyRocks13666 @JourneyRocks13666 Yea Arnel is also the man with the voice but he doesn't posses the talent..He has to be channeled by someone to come up with the melody and tones. Steve was the man with gr8 talent. He used to create all of his own. He wasn't guided by anybody how to sing the song. All those styles of Perry Voice and songs possesing Perry's talent are just covered by Arnel having the same voice which isn't the talent of Arnel.It was all of Perry.

[missbitch67]

Steve Perry is'nt called 'The Voice' for nothing!!Not only that but he has got to be the sexiest guy alive,even now.

[MARKALLENize]

Neil on speed?...HAHAHA!

[caroline2010xx]

I love Steve Perry!

[Maxiedude13]

Steve Perry is better than Arnel. Steve didn't sing his guts out for the many many years he was with Jounrey for Arnel to come along and be in the band for only 3 years and have clueless people think Arnel is better than him. WAKE UP people Steve is better than Arnel!!!!!!

[Perrygodmother]

Ok we are sat here..

[chewiedawookie]

fickt euch ihr gierigen wichser von sony.

möge euch der blitz beim scheissen treffen.

ich hoffe euer unternehmen geht den bach runter!

[FirebrandNIRE]

Perry's voice is pure quality

[beanierene]

@aIwayssshere We dont want to hear what you have to say !You are just a big mouth,Your user page says it all.So go away !!

[Glen3467]

Does anyone know why Journey never played Madison Square Garden in NYC?? I met Neil Schon about 3-4 yrs. ago and forgot to ask him about that. Someone told me long time ago it was because of bad security? I didn't think so. If someone has a serious answer, please let me know. Thanks

[saj8]

Neal should have played the Explorer for this song and Jonathan should have played the Les Paul.

[akavario]

that's such an awesome intro

[Jimmierip2]

Arnel is not a bad singer. He just does not come close to Steve Perry, who is a legend

[miuuhmiuuh]

oh really arnel can't sing the song oh so sad so wheres your perry now...do you know by now arnel singing this song in all sold out concert they make poor you

[silverfox266]

@miuuhmiuuh

why dont you fuck off jerk.

and it's STEVE PERRY to you arsehole. arnel is a talentless pub singer who got rich copyng STEVE.

STEVE is not that well these days. But he is still a fucking legend so you can show respect and then piss off and listen to his imposter.

STEVE PERRY IS A LEGEND and donlt you slag him off you creep/

[beanierene]

@miuuhmiuuh Arnel is nothing but a copy cat.He is singing the songs Steve made famous.

[pazzawiez]

@beanierene to you beanniere im filipino and im proud of it, maybe your right but please dont set aside that arnel pineda is a great singer. remaining journey member choose arnel to join in the band. yeah no doubt steve is such a great singer..he gonna rock my world too..but i respect also to arnel he is good as well..

[beanierene]

@pazzawiez I'm not cutting down filipinos. Arnel got his foot in the door copying Steve, thats fine for a start.Now he needs to go sing his own music and show his fans his style.Plus the only reason I said anything is because I'm sick and tired of all the Steve bashers coming on Steves videos and cutting him down.If they do'nt like him,do'nt listen. Its that simple.

[pazzawiez]

@beanierene ah now i see ok thank's,but i think the rest of the member of journey want to arnel continue the journey of late steve,you know what for me steve and arnel have the same voice?what do you think.. hehehe.. by the way where you from beanierene? me also number 1 of steve perry.. :-) i love the way he sing the song faithfully..

[redonionjazz]

Tokyo '81 concert was one of Journey's best, IMO, thanks to Stevie!! Just a knock-out voice!!!!!!!

PERRY4EVER

[tuddy77]

i love the 80's so much i miss the music.

[waihine808]

greatest singer i ever known.... i just loves him.

[unknowndeoxys00]

I didn't think Steve sang that note at 3:12 ....but holy fucking crap, he did.

[DarkNshY]

@unknowndeoxys00 ok that was sick lol

[agora1955]

Honestly, anyone who thinks that was not the BEST of times as regards music

( and very tight pants) must be out of their minds. Steve had/has the most amazing incredible voice. Those were the days when we were not dumbed down with TV . We

listened to voices and made our own decisions. Steve Perry is probably on the list

of what Aliens like to listen to on their home Planets. If I was an Alien he would be. LOL. !!

[Sayonara69]

@agora1955 You said it. ;)

[XxDerekDootxX]

@agora1955 I dig Steve Perry voice.

He's a great vocalist.

But as far as the most incredible, I think Freddie Mercury takes that hands down.

[agora1955]

@XxDerekDootxX I respect your opinion. I must say though that if they had

ever sung together that would have been marvellous. What a pity they didn´t.

[XxDerekDootxX]

@agora1955 Agreed.

That wouldve been epic.

[MsLarry91]

this soulfullness and passion made me love journey.. wow!!!!

[xXDarkBloomxBaltorXx]

Steve looks so HOT! His voice is just perfect!

[inuyashaslvr]

Take a sharp pause a 2:56-lol

[inuyashaslvr]

Steve smith 6:13- on drums lol!!!

Steve Perry-:52-so funny also wat did he say a the end?

Neal and Steve kill in this one go go go!!!!!

We LOOOOOOOOOVE YOU STEVE!!!!!!!!!!

[phrygian3rd]

Neal Schon absolutely kills in this video... he has to be the most underrated guitarist in the past 25 years (check out 3:40)... HOLY SHIT - ROCK ON NEAL, MOTHER F**KER!!!

[terrafirma91]

I wonder why they picked-up the tempo during this live performance? This song should be played just a tad slower for the emotional effect. This is common practice with many bands during live performances: They pick the tempo up a half notch, or so, and the song loses it's soul value, or something like that. Still a good live performance.

[sparkalanks]

@terrafirma91 during that time period there were many people lip singing so most bands played a bit different every time so people can hear its really them and not just a recording

[piercoucy]

Who fucking cares if it's a gay voice, the guy could really sing like few could. A fact...

[15monella]

Bonsai tune , He sing can't make goosebumps.

[15monella]

gay voice and feminine pipes..

[scoober1989]

@15monella gay voice?...no...greatest voice.

[666JoChick]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STEVE PERRY WE LOVE YOU!

As if im a 90s child why did i miss this sad times but wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooo

(ill scream on here as i cant there)

[ultrasuperx]

@666JoChick I know right!

[debbiechickie5]

nEAL AND JON HAVE FAMILIES TO PROVIDE FOR. stEVE LEFT. Band needed a new vocalist. It's a business, people.

[daspudster01]

This is what was called a once in a lifetime band that comes along only once in your lifetime. Steve ruled the roost & all the other birds together made it magic.

Tho they went their separate ways..their songs leave us with lifetime memories...for that I thank them. But what neal & jon was just downright selfish & unapprehensible.
