I agree with you. And what he said as the song started "come on Journey, 'cause I'm here for my boy Steve" sums up why Journey is such a beloved band and why there is no real Journey without Steve. We are all drawn to Journey because of that one boy.
Steve can put so much emotion into his singing. You can really feel the lyrics. He is my absolute favorite singer of all time because of his ability to make me feel the song as well as hear it.
I'm a professional singer and have done many Steve Perry covers. His tonal quality, pitch and vocal enunciation are perfect. "The Voice" is far and away the best singer of all time in my opinion. Try to sing one of his songs the way he does and you will realize how flawless his technique is. You wind up just hoping you did his song justice. One thing is for sure...you will never improve on his vocals. They are simply outstanding.
There is only ONE STEVE PERRY!!! Based on the comments below, and yet he sings while he is sick and makes it sound beautiful! Your reactions are great! I always love to watch your reactions to Steve Perry and Journey! I know it's enough to make you sick in a good way! I can't carry a tune in a bucket! Thanks again for reacting to this! ✌ & ❤
Still he rides and we are so grateful and blessed to witness that with all our sentences, Steve 4 President, not to mention his kind, philosophical life attitude. Pure bliss 🌟👌🥇🎤🙌💟
He doesn't over sing his stuff either such a pure simple constaining performance. Suzanne is a beautiful song which has some great steve perry moments in it. Damn this guy could make singing out of the phone book phenomenal 😂❤
The most under rated vocalist... he is perfection as are Journey from that era... Journey was so unappreciated... they should have had many many number 1s
While im no stranger to Journey, i have never seen this performance...as always goosebumps with them. Awesome to see this for MY 1st time in a awesome reaction. I have watched many Journey reactions but never seen anybody do this one. Just epic! Steve Perry is my older sisters love! Grateful to have been exposed to them as a child from her ans thankful he still around and has done new music not to along ago. So grateful to be alive at same time as him. We are blessed to have his voice!
A masterpiece perforned by #StevePerry, the best rock singer of all time, dialoguing with the incredible guitar of Neal Schon. Beautiful lyrics. I'm crying like every time I listen to it since 1983. I love your reaction. ❤
Steve had the FLU😳 during this & STILL was able to come out there & sound like THAT!!!!!!😳 😅 He is unmatched🥰, IMHO the best male voice there ever was🙏🥰 THANK YOU Mr. Perry and Journey, for all the JOY you’ve brought into my life, & for helping me through some really horrific times, like right now, having unexpectedly lost my beloved Dad🙏🥹💔🎶🎤♥️ THANK YOU♥️
Since I was 4 years old this voice captured me!!! I know every song they ever sang because it’s all my parents played. I fell in love at 4 and starting singing to him
Yesssss, another journey reaction! Great performance, even sick as he was. As always, I gotta throw out “Lay it Down” from the same album as this song, Escape. You gotta do the studio version of that one though, it’s insane.
This is my generation of music and I can say I didn’t appreciate them when I was young like I should have. I realize now how one-in-a- million they were and are.
if you especially like the soulful solo stuff of him, then you should listen to "If only for a moment, girl". Steve can also play drums. You can tell by his singing. He sings so percussive, the song is full of syncopations. You have to have a distinct sense of rhythm.
Steve Perry the GOAT. There are several other performances from this concert you should check out. You can’t go wrong with this one or the Houston ‘81 concert. Love your reactions.
Do yourself a favor and react to Mother, Father. Steve Perry said this was the hardest song he ever sang. The emotion and passion in this song is mind blowing and you can see the exhaustion on his face at the end. Another masterpiece but a song from a long time ago that was not played on the radio a million times for some reason. It should have.
Growing up listening to so may great live bands in the late 70s through the 90 todays performers just dont measure up. Only one I can think of is Chris Stapleton with just raw talent.
Usually I hate reaction videos but I loved yours . When you said you could get an errection listening to Steve sing you cracked me up😂 Of course Steve just has a super human voice and the band were all wildly talented
Want to thank you for introducing me to this song. Was avoiding the videos from this concert since I heard Steve Perry was sick with the flu during this performance. Still They Ride sounds amazing!! It's quickly become one of my favorites.
You do reaction better all the others because of the fact I've heard you say that you listen to the other instruments as well as the singing. I used to sing myself but one too many cigarettes have ruined my vocals. I've been listening to journey since they first came out beings i was born in 1968. One of the best songs I've ever heard is Steve Perry latest track he dedicated to his girlfriend who passed away from cancer. It's almost acoustic with no instruments look up"You belong to me "stripped!! you can feel his pain in his heart while he sings it. It's bone chilling
I love that my brother from a different color can appreciate great music without any bias. Just shows that it don’t make a difference what nationality, as a human, music is what connects us all. Great video! I love my Prince, MJ, funk artists and blues and anything in between. Nice work.
Perry is so smooth, he can excite even a straight man without any weird feelings. And it's for good reason... you better be ready because your lady listening with you is gonna feel the same way.
I love watching you ( and Alot of hip hoppers , and older brother's ) react to Steve Perry! At first you all have the same " is that a girl ?" reaction. Then you play it again and you look shocked , then POW! you are under his spell , and Hooked just like the rest of us!
