Journey - Mother, Father (Live 1981: Escape Tour) REACTION/REVIEW 

This guy is on another level with vocals. Saw this live,tears just ran,I wasn’t sad- it was the beauty in his voice.❤️🎶❤️

I have never heard steve perry hit a bad note.

Arguably the greatest live rock vocal performance. Great reaction, man.

Two words for this performance ............ 'Masterpiece!!' & "Perfection!!'

His voice at the end sound like a angel, and he did his version of mic drop 😎

One of THE best voices in rock history. I have this concert dvd in my collection it was one hell of a show

He is the best I'll definitely give him that , the song they tear it up, Neil is on fire with that guitar playing, and Steve puts every ounce of emotion in this song, and Jonathan's piano solo oh my God they all are rock gods, they are all magical one of their best.

Thank you for recognizing a Truly UNMATCHED VOCALIST…Bringing me back to such a INCREDIBLE ERA of RockBandsBreakingOut! I’ve seen over 200 Concerts..very few twice,Steve/Journey 6X ! First time hearing his VOICE in 1977…his VOICE was idk otherworldly! Not sure many realize Steve is now considered a “haute contre” (natural male Alto, A rare form of Countertenor and one of the RAREST Vocal Types) plus his own creative gift creating his OneOfAKind VOICE…IF that’s not enough Steve is also considered a Classical Operatic Vocaliist..originating outside all three common sources of High-Performance Vocalist (Classical/Operatic,Musical Theater,and Gospel) EXTREMELY RARE…sadly the 20thCentury Music Industry were Illiterate to Classical Operatic Alto Countertenor! Sooo illiterate they had no idea how to CLASSIFY him….denied Steve the Recognition, acknowledgment,RESPECT he deserve(s). A Quote: “Steve..did not have a VOICE, he had a MIRACLE” unmatched even by (no disrespect RIP LEGEND) FreddieM and FAILED by the Music Industry to manage it and the singer it belonged to. No denying his Legendary Historical Legacy continues on by his fans(who knew),general public, and experts. Osaka 1980 is a must…sooo many hidden DIAMONDS.

This particular song live, really showcased Journey’s talent.

I'm speechless at that performance.

This is perfection. And the moods of the song fit the moods of the lyrics. Up and down. Sad and hopeful. The workings of a family in crisis and a lone member pleading for the family to come together and heal. So good.

I am a Journey FANATIC, and this is truly one of the greatest songs they ever wrote! Masterpiece does not do it justice! Majestic. Powerful. Amazing. Journey's best song EVER!

I saw Journey supporting Escape...this song is on that album. All I can say is that that band will always be underrated, they were SO GOOD live.

Awesumm video!! I appreciate how dug in to the song you went.. Coming from a gentle brother of color, from whence we get the GREATEST of American soul, music, depth of the human emotional experience,.not usually found coming from us starchy white folk!!

This song always makes mr tear up. Thanks for your appreciation for music✌️

The goat

This is one of my all time fave songs, Steve Perry's voice is like silk, awesome guitar and piano solo too. Another awesome one is called After the fall and check out the MV. Neal is the lead guitarist. 😎🎵🎤👌

Still they ride... live in tokyo. Open Arms, from this concert, anything from this concert lol...

Good on you for doing the whole tour, Journey is a journey, not a single song experience.

Steve Perry. Holy cow he can blow!

I like how they go into a guitar solo after the second verse rather than the chorus. The arrangement of the song is pure genius. 1st verse, bridge, chorus. 2nd verse, guitar solo, 3rd verse, bridge, chorus, guitar solo, chorus, take it to church!!!!

Fantabulous performance

So good to see you react to this song. It's different but really good talent All of them!!💥

One of my favorite songs

Love Steve Perry! And Love the Musicians!!!

I went to this tour, in Seattle. Best concert of my life! AndI have been to a lot!

Jonathan Cain was with the Baby's while on tour with Journey! I saw it all! John Waite was the lead singer of the Baby's and he went out as a solo. Greg Rollie was the piano player and singer of Journey, It all just fell into place. Watch Wheel in the Sky.

Saw them on their Frontiers tour. My first concert ever. Incredible!

Thank you for making my Saturday night even better! Great reaction ❤

Excellent!!! ☮️❤️😎

Amazing voice !!

Escape was Perry's vocal pinnacle.

Listen to journey Still they ride live in Osaka Japan 1983 its fire 🔥 😊

Perfection

ANY WAY YOU WANT IT-JOURNEY💖

Thanks for the reaction Bro. These guys were hitting on all cylinders on high octane gas at this time.

Inspired to sing from his Mom and Sam Cooke

I Love this song. Low Key Fav that you just don't hear much if ever.

The Beatles' SHE'S LEAVING HOME was their model for this song, and is still unequalled.

Steve Perry is one of the greatest singers ever born.

Another good one with a total different sound is Sweet and Simple

Not sure anybody said this already but he consider this to be the hardest to sing!! Didnt noticed..... Hej från Sverige

Top notch

The guitarist is Neil Schon. He is one of the truly greatest guitarist. He’s on par with Eddie Van Halen. The band is still performing with another singer from a tribute band. He’s not bad, but he’s not Steve Perry. Steve has the title of “the voice” because he is recognized as the greatest voice in rock history. He’s still singing as a solo artist and collaborator for other artists and bands.

true story of Steve's growing up life...gorgeous performance and so heartfelt. Perfection from all musicians

Neil schon. Guitarist. Used to play with santana

OPEN ARMS-JOURNEY👌

Listen to winds of March. Bud..

Told ya!🎉

Journey Live in Houston 1981 Lead Singer Steve Perry you will love " Stone in Love " Or " Girl Can't Help it ".

If you're someone like myself that loves to hear great harmonies then give this band from 1972 a listen "Stuck In The Middle With You - Steelers Wheel"

Please do girl can't help it

If I remember correctly, Steve Perry remastered this DVD/CD not too long ago. I think he's largely responsible for the "equal sharing" of air time among the band members.

Steve Perry the best Malé voice ever no doubt about MR STEVE PERRY

Top notch band !

Hey Biz.

Any he recorded this in one take.

Sam Cooke reincarnate.

Sorry wrong song
