First Time Hearing Journey - Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin', Reaction- SHEESH! 😯 THAT VOCAL IS WILD!! 

Who’s Crying Now, Open Arms and Don’t Stop Believing all from the Live in Houston ‘81 concert. They are musts!

Steve Perry - total command of the vocals and he had the most gorgeous head of hair back then❤️

Steve wrote this before joining Journey. His girlfriend denied cheating on him despite him seeing her kissing another guy. Revenge rock song🙂 Best not to cheat on your boyfriend who is a songwriter!

Steve Perry , nicknamed “ The Voice” could make ANY song sound beautiful. This is one of my all time favorites because of the bluesy way he sings and the musical genius of this band. Check out “ Separate Ways” and the all to famous “ Dont Stop Believin” Love you two crazy kids!!

It's a betrayal song!!! Steve Perry has said, that it actually happened to him. He said that he was at a gig one night and that when he came home late that night. His girlfriend wasn't home and so he thought she was with her girl friends! Until he heard '2 car doors slam!!!' He said that he looked through the window and saw his girlfriend and another guy all over each other!!! Thus, you got .....'Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'!!!' Other great Classic Journey song you guys should react to are ........ 'Girl Can't Help It, Chain Reaction, After The Fall, The Party's Over (studio version), Edge Of The Blade, Ask The Lonely, I'll Be Alright Without You, Why Can't This Night Go On Forever, When You Love A Woman, Message Of Love, Escape, Still They Ride (studio version)'

Steve Perry had so many great songs with Journey and solo. Some include, Open Arms, Don’t Stop Believing, Sweet and Simple, Separate Ways, Oh Sherrie, When You Love A Woman, Why Can’t This Night Go On Forever, Still They Ride. Many, many more great songs.

Steve Perry's vocals were absolutely unmatched. You NEED to check out Don't Stop Believing, Who's Crying Now, Separate Ways, Open Arms, Lights, and some of his solo work - Foolish Heart and Oh Sherrie.

Can't believe Mr. Perry just turned 75

Mother Father live from Houston 1981! Lights, Wheel in the Sky, why can’t this night go on Forever, anyway you want it . Oh my the list goes on and on. Steve Perry is a vocal beast!! ❤❤❤❤ Makes you feel every word he sings!

Steve "The Voice" Perry amazing singer!

Musically, vocals it can't be done any better. Front man is awesome. No auto tune here.

I would like to see you react to Stone In Love by Journey!

How do you know that Steve Perry is a great vocalist, he sounds exactly the same lies as he does in studio. Many say with his incredible range that he is considered one of the best rock singers of all time

I love when people realize he is saying na na na na na na 😂

Steve Perry is simply the GOAT of rock vocalists.

Absolutely any song from Journey is a good choice

Not sure if anyone knows but Billboard 100 just did a vote on who the number one Rock voice of all time was and of course Steve Perry won by a landslide!! Just over 69%of the vote. The next one was a newer band with like 27%. Any others were barely even on the graph. Billboard did their own top 50 and put Steve at 30! Rarely gets the love from the industry

I LOVE Steve Perry's voice!! He is the absolute best in my opinion.

This is the sexiest FU song!! And Steve Perry has the BEST voice, imo!!

Journey owned the late 70's and early 80's. My dad brought these albums into the house back then as they were being released. Total classic period of Journey right here.

One of the best singers. He has such a clear natural tone.

Great talent abounds. Guitar...Bass...Keyboard...Drums...and that *VOICE* ...that *VOICE* ! Real talent. Real skill. Real musicians. Damn I miss the 70's!

That's exactly why they did this chorus... as if they're laughing at her about it. The keyboardist played with Santana at Woodstock and the guitarist joined the band later. They then split off and helped form Journey.

This song actually happened to Steve Perry. He caught his then girlfriend arriving home as he looked out the window saw her kissing the guy. So yeah…Na na na na…can you imagine having a song written about you? She’s really famous now!😂😂😂

Love Journey, check out "Mother, Father" live from Houston 81 or any other songs from that concert, the entire concert is fire!

Journey is one of my favorites of all time. I'm not ashamed to admit that it took me years to figure out the na-na-na part. :)

You need to check out their earlier stuff. Lights and Wheel In The Sky off their Infinty album are great songs. The whole album is amazing. My favorite Journey album for sure

Wheel In The Sky!! ✌❤

You nailed the reaction and meaning of the lyrics! Na na na na

This is a fun song to listen to. I have always thought the rhythm with that drum beat sound like something you would hear in a strip joint

Steve is so amazing. His voice is one of the best. So many great songs.

Gregg Rolie was the original keyboard & lead vocalist of Journey until Steve was brought on the 4th album, he was also Santanas original lead vocalist & keyboardist, Neil Schon guitarist (also Santana) Ross Valery bassist and Steve Smith on drums is so good , great jazz style and footwork for days **SIDENOTE. I actually saw bassist Ross Valery jamming last weekend with friends Stef Burns on guitar & the incredible drummer Jeff Campatelli Having fun goofing around with big smiles. Very cool.

I love these Journey reacts! I highly highly recommend 'Send her my Love', its hauntingly beautiful and is a bit like Faithfully

Please please please check out Mother Father live in Houston the vocal acrobatics are incredible!

Great reaction! Your parents/grandparents were pretty cool , eh? Oh to be a teenager in 1978 again! We had so much fun and such great music (and such great hair/clothes styles too)! We never thought we'd grow old and this amazing rock music would vanish but sadly it did, but at least some younger people are rediscovering it! Thank you!!!

If you "really" want to hear how amazing Steve Perry's vocal range is, I would highly encourage you to check them out live. "Mother, Father" live in Houston 1981. Everything about it will blow you away. The keys, guitar solos, vocals, etc. Truly incredible! *I hope you didn't squeeze Samantha too hard. She's a delicate flower, after all. 😂🌺

The Voice is strong in this one.

Saw them on Open Arms tour in the '80s. They were incredible!🔥 Great reaction y'all!💯💥🤗❤️✌️

The vocals are insane in this song. Glad you gave it a listen!

My fave Journey song! Love the smoky, slightly sleazy tone, & how Steve & the whole band get that great audience participation. Thanks for your reaction.

Separate Ways, Wheel In the Sky, and Anyway you want it….need to come next. They just do.

When they first started out they had “ Separate Ways” as their encore….then this became their encore.Keyboard player sang and played with Santana right before this ,along with Neal Schon on lead guitar.

Seen Journey every concert near Detroit in the 70's and 80's was always a phenomenal concert guaranteed! So many great live bands during that time.

I saw them live in 2016 as a gift to my dad and even the new singer sounds very similar and just as good live 🔥

I'm 56 but still have my Steve Perry hair. 🤟😁

Steve Perry was phenomenal. Nobody could touch his vocals.

Pretty much most people love his voice. Another great song they did is Open Arms.

Yes, Mother Father live 1981 Houston.

here we go!!!!!!!!!! enjoy! i always do!

♥♥♥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great review. BTW that "na na na na" part was awesome live in concert back in the 80s. Really one of those songs meant to be performed live. So much fun.

There are 154 "nas" at the end of the song. Counted them as a kid and I still remember the number. lol

The voice that’s my guy 😂❤

If you want to see Steve in his playful side watch this same song from the midnight special it is truly amazing and worth watching! You get to see his playful side!!❤❤❤

Journey was the real deal. 🙂

Pay attention to the over the crowd camera shots…. What don’t you see?? Damn cell phones!! Yeah, we took it all in through our eyeballs and ears :)

ive heard that song for 40 years and never knew til recently that was not the hook, its actually na na boo boo in your face. duh on me

4:49 "But, When You Listen To It, It Sounds Like A Break-up Song" You're correct, Sam. Steve Perry wrote this song based on the experience of his girlfriend at the time cheating on him and essentially wrote this as a way of telling her that karma was gonna get her in the end

ths song followed by City of the Angels were recorded to flow into each other, and are usually played on radio together . I suggest a relisten with both! btw like your reactions, and damn dude those guns are motivating me to get back into the gym lol

Steve's hair was as spectacular as his voice. It's great that you got that this is a slut shaming song which Steve wrote about someone who'd cheated on him.

JOURNEY: "Winds Of March" "Walks Like A Lady" "Sweet And Simple" "I'm Cryin'" "Patiently" "Edge Of The Blade" "Where Were You" "After The Fall" "Stone In Love" "Escape" "Feeling That Way/Anytime" Basically ALL of them!

Journey definitely had very competent musicians and successful single writers. Likewise, Perry clearly had a voice that resonated. Don't really know what all the criticism was about. Personally, I liked their 1st (non hit) album was the most interesting work.

Great song!

❤ Great reaction to a great song!! This is one of my all time favorite bands! One of my favorites is "Don't Stop Believing". It's always reminded me of my home town and I grew up in Reno, NV. I will be interested to see if you see the connections!! Luv ya guys!! 😊❤❤

A few years later, the guitarist, Neil Schon, teamed with keyboardist Jan Hammer on a great (and underrated) song, "No More Lies"--about the evils of infidelity. Well worth a reaction.

Usually if a debate comes up concerning who is the best male voice in rock music you usually hear 3 names, Steve Perry, Paul Rodgers and Tommy Shaw.

I was 17 when this song came out. Great make out song.

...this song was my introduction to Journey as a 12 year old...one of the greatest bands of a generation. They were ever present thruought my youth, with one great song after another...perhaps you should feature a Journey tune chronologically, ...I think "City of the Angels" was the next track from this album, "Evolution"...but they really have too many great songs to list

I took my 16 year old niece and her friend to a Journey concert...and they loved it. Next day she called me and told me she put the "na na na na na" song on her IPOD. You two just gotta do "Separate Ways" . A total Rock and Roll banger!

Great reaction to one of the great voices of all time, and one of the most iconic bands of the 70s and 80s. Separate Ways, Open Arms, and Don’t Stop Believing are also amazing by this band.

Love your videos guys

"Mother Father" Live 1981 in Houston. You'll enjoy the Piano solo at the end.

These earlier days it was a Greg Rolie the keyboards and he played in the band Santana and he also sings lead on some of the songs or he'll share with Steve Perry

Steve Perry looks like Geddy Lee’s long lost brother

Hey Phil & Sam so I won't give you a hundred details you'll hear from others but here's a few other facts. Steve's voice is so super special because it's a contralto. It's the lowest of a female voice - yet very, very high for a male voice, which for a male is known as a countertenor. He can hit 4 octaves with little effort. That range is reserved for the best of the best Freddie Mercury, Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, etc... The list of 5 octave singers is impressive, but so are the 4's. Another fun fact, notice in the live videos the saxophone player. That's Randy Jackson, who was a judge on American Idol. He toured with them for 2 years. Steve never married. He didn't want to make the same mistakes as his parents. He had many girlfriends & one daughter. In 2011 after seeing a film about cancer he wrote to Kellie Nash who was in the film & was terminal. He got into a relationship with her knowing this. Before she passed she made him promise to come out of seclusion which he had been in since 1996. Thank you Kellie because he returned to the stage a year and a half after her passing. Then in 2018 he released his first album in 24 years. She was a gift to Steve and all of us.

Greatness

Separate lives is the hottest song.

Yes. You should definitely dress as Diamond David Lee Roth for Halloween.

One of the most downloaded songs ever is a Journey song; Don’t Stop Believin’. . I cannot imagine that you haven’t heard it, but if you have indeed been living under the proverbial rock, you must make yourselves aware of it. HUGE hit song. And always do Journey live……so good.

True story. Steve brought this sing into the band. His Gorlfriend was caught driving up to the apartebr she shared with Steve and kissing another guy. Steve had home early frim a gig and watched the entire episode transpire. He turned his painful experience into Lovin Touchin Squeezin.

lucky dude fine lady !

You should definitely do "Open Arms" next. It is the greatest power ballad of all time.

Only the Young is my jam especially with the Vision Quest video ✌💖☮

"Mother, Father" is a must, but seriously, just pick any Journey song and be amazed. They had a variety of styles. Top-notch musicians.

I won’t lie. Samantha is my favorite 😊, but I love both your reactions. Stay authentic.

........you want to hear "City of the Angels" (the next song)!

Pure blues rock. Gotta love it 🥰

If you go look at Carlos Santana's performance at Woodstock you will see a very young Neal Schon on guitar and Gregg Rolie on piano.💯 That's who they played with before they formed Journey!🔥😳😁❤️✌️

Hello Phil and Samantha, I hope you are well. If you haven't already visited and reacted to a group called Poison, I would love to hear what you think of them, particularly with the songs, Nothin' But A Good Time, Every Rose Hs Its Thorn, and my personal favourite of theirs Unskinny Bop. Their music is a little like Guns N Rose, being on the heavier side of rock

You can hear the influence that Sam Cooke had on Steve Perry!

Hello Phil & Sam, if you'd like to check out more tunes by the great Steve Perry then I'd suggest checking out "Journey - Don't Stop Believin' (Live 1981: Escape Tour -2022 HD Remastered)" this song is from their seventh studio album called "Escape" released in 1981.

As mentioned by others, Mother Father is outstanding! My personal fave because it’s fun is Stone In Love.

All I have to say is.....Sam, you're gonna get lucky tonight! 😊

Steve Perry. Universally considered one of the best rock vocalists when it came to range and note accuracy. Incomparable.

The best version of LTS is live in budokan Japan

Journey dropped a song in a movie about high school wrestling and of course growing pains called “Vision Quest” and the song is Only the Young. Deep track kinda stuff

Arena Rock at its best

You should do open arms by journey its a ballad that's even better than faithfully

Oh Sherry is a banger …

Way to go most people don't get that this is a cheating sog and can't wait to what you hurt like you hurt me they think this is a love song thank you so much for listening to the lyrics thank you for your reaction
