@@themidnightspecialtvshowfrom the online community who finds it important for media to be shared, THANK YOU! These performances are great and important for people to see.
The Midnight Special, really was the show to watch on the weekend. Journey is so amazing. They played a killer performance. Rolie has a beautiful voice too. I would love for him to sing more. Rolie and Steve really sound spectacular together.
I used to stay up late on the weekend and prop my little B & W TV on my lap and plug my headphones into the mono earphone jack through an adapter/splitter and JAM to The Midnight Special and Wolfman. Absolutely COULD NOT wait for it, didn't matter who was on!! THANK YOU Midnight Special!
Just excellent. I was in college when this first aired. It really was "must see (and hear) TV." I am so thankful these were preserved and shared again with us. How can 50 years have passed???
I always like to hear "Anytime" after this "Feeling That Way" - and sure enough - this channel posted both songs! You can tell that Journey played these two songs live, one right after the other, the same way they appeared on the album, and also the same way the best classic rock stations would play them together on Twofer Tuesday. Thank you, Midnight Special, for posting both of these classic tracks!
Journey at this point was: Steve Perry - Lead vocals Neal Schon - electric, acoustic guitars, backing vocals Gregg Rolie - Keyboards/Piano, co-lead vocals Ross Valory - bass guitar/backing vocals Aynsley Dunbar - drums, percussion
It's always nice to see songs when they're show casing another voice in the band. He has a really nice voice. One of the greatest bands to ever grace the stage... And they're still cranking it out today!! Happy Wednesday... thank you for sharing! 💖
Gregg Rollie, the keyboardist doing much of the singing came from Santana. The first couple of Journey albums had quite a few songs he and Perry traded vocals on. Too bad management forced Rollie out because THEY wanted Perry to sing ALL the songs. Check out "Wheel in the Sky"!
Infinity and Evolution were never given the true love they deserved. Don't get me wrong, I love Frontiers and Raised on Radio. But these two albums with both Steve and Gregg were phenomenal.
It’s so sad that Rollie left the band. He and Steve were such complimentary singers. Jonathon Cain is a very good keyboard guy but Rollie was perfecto in Journey.
I saw Journey in concert back in the day. They sold out tickets in 45 minutes for the three shows they scheduled. Steve Perry-Nothing but one of the best voices in music history.
Like most lyrics by Journey, they are sparce but effective mostly because of the vocals. Two short verses, and the chorus which they start with (just like 'Lights") then 2 short verses. Lights only has one verse and a refrain...it is mostly chorus. But Perry can make 'row row row your boat" into pure Magic I'm standin' here with my arms a mile wide I'm hopin' and prayin' for you Listen to me and enlighten me, yeah I hope that you need me too, 'cause Give me all of your sunshine A spark is all I need To take it away, out of the shadows Well, what more can I say, yeah, yeah
I agree with most here, that this is Journey's best lineup. Kevin Rolie has SUCH a distinctive sound. To think that he's the voice behind such greats as Anytime, Feeling That Way, as well as Santana - Black Magic Woman, Evil Ways, etc. I've always loved his distinct voice!
That's precisely the sequence I just did on my playlist dedicated to the Perry / Rolie years, if you want to check it out (keeping the official video of _Feeling That Way_ with its audio from the album, though): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vg5vziU-qIs.html
"That guy" is Gregg Rolie! One of the most underrated singers and keyboard players in all of rock! Ever heard of a song called "Black Magic Woman" by Santana? That was him singing!
I don’t think people understand the talent to start a song with 3 part harmony’s on key without any instruments to work off of , I had the fortune to have such a band for nearly 10 years and we could mail this song , sadly I haven’t has such a band like that since ! Keep ‘em coming MNS !
Journey pre Steve era albums are works of art and a different kind of beast. Steve joined and their musical direction changed. And while I do love the 1st 3 albums with Steve, it’s not the same. The lineup here has some incredible musicians making some great music.
I was bummed a little when I saw Journey in 79 because Aynsley had left the band by then. Steve Smith is a great drummer though & I was happy to hear him. Never did get to see Aynsley live.
Here are the facts: Dunbar got fired from the band because Perry didn't like him and Ainsley tended to gravitate towards "younger" girls. Gregg Rolie left Journey because he didn't like Perry and he was tired of touring. Perry was basically fired from Journey in 1996, because of his attitude and making the band wait too long for him to get his hip problem taken care of.
It’s really interesting because Steve is singing really low in his register - I think that’s what singers say - here. Usually he’s about an octave higher.
This was from April of 1978. Their drummer was Aynsley Dunbar at that time. In the few instances of the vid where he's in view I can tell its Dunbar. Smith replaced him I believe later that same year.
Neal Schon always overplays and ruins the song. He's the type of player that will play 1,000 notes to show how fast he can play when only 1 note should be played. A Peter Green he's not.
The two solos in this song are perfect for it. They're both very melodic and are not overplayed at all. If you want overly fast playing just for the sake of speed, there are many many other players you could mention before Neal Schon's name would ever come up.
@@lloydmoss217 And... as is evident here, it seems that some of these performances have been ripped from a new course or quite decently Upscaled! Hope lives.
