Steve Perry and EELS Live in Los Angeles, CA on 6-11-14 

I'm a 49 year old man and I am not ashamed to say hearing his voice again brought tears to my eyes.

I imagine everyone in that audience that night silently praying "don't go away again" 😢😢😢

He still sounds amazing after all these years ❤

OMG....My tears of joy hearing this cannot stop flowing. To see Steve bouncing around stage just enjoying himself is just amazing. He is the sound track of my life.

I’m 79 years old, n still, in all my years, Steve Perry is the best singer ever!! His voice and delivery is captivating!! I went to a concert to see Journey w my 18 year old daughter, n that was the beginning of my admiration for him!! His CD from back then is played constantly in my car!!! He will live on forever!!! There’s only one Steve Perry!!👍❤️❤️

He's still got that golden voice.

If I was in the audience I will be crying like a baby!! Love this man!

At 68 Steve doesn't need to scream and go high notes,he sounds just fine at a low and mellow range. Steve has had a lot of heartache and pain a few years ago(sickness,death). Give him a break for just being up there in public again. Luv u steve

Greatest. Male. Vocalist. of all time. I grew up on all of his music and his voice is the soundtrack of my entire life.

I think he sounds awesome. Haters, just shut the hell up! He is one of a kind and still has a great range and tone to his voice. Please release a new recording Steve!

Steve Perry is the king of the golden voice 😇😇

Steve Perry will always be " The Voice" nobody even compares to his vocal capabilities...It's so unique that only Steve Perry can lock that sound down as his own...There will never be a voice so "Awesome" in this lifetime...

I have seen this before, I don't think they realize that the one he dedicated. this song and loved very much was extremely ill and had died . He sang that song with such powerful emotions an d so beautifully to her, I can't help think she heard him singing it in heaven. wow, Steve Perry did an amazing job, how lucky this audience is to be there and having Him sing to them. Steve Perry still the best singer ever!!!

I'm sitting here typing through tears.... it is SUCH a JOY to hear this precious man sing once again! I'll bet this living legend doesn't even know how much he has been sorely missed. No one ...I mean NO one does Steve Perry better than... Steve Perry. God Bless you Stevie...come on back, I promise you'll be met with Open Arms xoxo

His confidence in himself made so much difference. Being able to be the frontman to an audience who adorned him and no contention in the band , has brought him back to us. He loves being a frontman to, and we love seeing him!

It’s amazing how he sings Open Arms and any of his songs without any effort at all. His voice just comes out naturally.

Not only can he sing he can tell a story like no one! Just great stuff Steve we miss you!!

Still the best and sexiest male voice EVER in my opinion. Love you SP.

No one is good as the original did..love you always steve..perry girl here❤️

I'm the same age as Steve. I must admit I was not a Journey fan back in the day. I have fallen in love with him just recently and I have watched many concerts. This was amazing! His voice was amazing! In my 75 years, I've never heard anyone do what Steve does with his voice. I'm so glad that I got to know Steve Perry!

Steve talks from the heart and sings from the soul..the note he hits at the end of lovin touchin is simply amazing...can't wait for it new solo album in 2017...it's always a good day when you hear " the voice "...

I've been watching Steve Perry perform with the eel,s in different states. And his voice keep,s getting better and better. Stronger and stronger after each show. His voice will never leave him. He has a gift for god. He,s been touched by his hands. So he can always sing I believe in his talent. Keep on singing Steve your fans love you. 2020 in Cleveland Ohio . Forever his fan.

This man is a living legend! One of, if not the best, most versatile singers in the world! His voice was put through an ungodly amount of stress from years of touring (luckily he had the will power of self-preservation, or he may not be here today), is damn-near 70 years old AND can still serve that magical voice! I've loved his musical abilities for 2/3 of my life and, believe me, I'd do anything within my means to go see him sing today. Hard as it may be to accept, 30+ years have passed since he hit those "reach for the heavens" high notes. I don't expect it from him and neither should anyone else, for if Steve Perry can't match Steve Perry nobody can.

Steve is timeless, simply timeless.

He is so amazing, tears are falling bigtime. We miss you Steve Perry !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love his voice and his personality so much. I could watch and listen to him every day

beautiful voice. still got it. 😀😃

I can watch this over and over!!! He sounds fantastic!! This crowd is just not rowdy enough for me! I would have lost my voice screaming and waving the whole time...his voice still melts my heart!

I ❤️ Steve Perry! His song...When you love a woman , was played as I walked down the aisle at my wedding ❤️ I LOVE U STEVE PERRY!!! 😘

Does that crowd even realize how big of a deal this is watching him perform? It doesnt seem like it. This is incredible to hear him sing after basically disappearing from music for so long

So happy he's back, he's been so very missed. No one can evoke emotions when they sing like Steve can. Traces is a broken heart exposed and it's beautiful in all it's sorrow. 💜

I'm crying. I love this man so much.

I wanna thank the guy recording this so we can watch it

I love Steve Perry. Best vocalist ever.

They absolutely know that they are watching history. That is why they are paying full attention and standing up OUT of their seats and not being DISTRACTED by screaming and making noise. They definitely not only applauded but gave him a STANDING OVATION throughout the performance. And I might add...he did almost an entire set.

Steve freaking Perry is the best of all time.

TO STEVE PERRY: I hope you read this. You brought tears to my eyes, a lump in my throat and goose bumps on my arms watching you perform again.I'm 61 years old and don't have much time left on the earth. I am only one human being on this planet that has been fortunate enough to be born in the right time and era, to actually grow and follow, or in better words; journey with you and "JOURNEY." You have no idea what an inspiration and difference you have made in my life. I started drumming when I was 5. Started singing lessons in Jr. High.My goal was to be a rock & roll drummer. There was no era better than the 80's. I've followed your concerts every where I could possibly be. Anybody in this town of Twin Falls knows how dedicated I am to your music. My license plates even say Journey. I have emphysema now,can't sing anymore. Every year bands from all over play at a festival here.One band dedicated a "JOURNEY" song TO ME when they found out. I can drum to ALL or your songs( lick per lick), and have performed many on stage also. I know all the lyrics to your music. I love to sing, but wasn't stupid enough to think I could ever pass my voice off as you.Fact is NOBODY can,many try and come close but no cigar. At least they keep the band "JOURNEY" touring so many others can still enjoy and remember the wonderful songs written.When one persons music can reach another in such a way, it is truly A GIFT. Please Steve; I'm sure you've thought about not performing again.What ever the reason being, voice, age, time, critics,etc.Piss on it. We are all human, it's a part of growing old.Take it from me. When music is your whole life and your FORCED to stop by something physically. It sucks. So be reminded that a 61 year old dying man with emphysema once asked you from the bottom of his heart: WOULD YOU TO PLEASE PLAY FOR ME ONE LAST TIME STEVE ? hope your response would be, "AS LONG IS THERE IS ONE PERSON OUT THERE THAT WANTS TO SEE ME PERFORM I WILL" Thank You !

Would give my last pennies to see him sing live again .

Wtf is everybody talking he sounds amazing!

Umm, that was fucking AWESOME!!!

Just like the old days, only thing missing is that beautiful long hair, wish he had never cut it off. He's incredible ...still got it.

This man would pack every venue with faithful fans who, like me, would crawl across hot coals on their knees even if it was to hear him sing the alphabet, backwards and in Portuguese...because he is so crazy talented! It's not just that we love his voice, we love how hearing it makes our hearts love deeper and our sorrows feel sweeter...Seeing him last night at the HOF induction made me smile...I wish him joy and peace whether he sings another note publicly or not. God bless Steve!💜

Still got it going on. Still sexy, still one of the best voices ever!! Gotta love Steve Perry!

He’s so damn talented. He sounds very good here, especially considering his age. Would love to see him do some solo shows before he totally retires.

And that kids is a real singer!

He's still got that precise vocal control, range, and vibrato! :D Amazing for a singer in his late 60's! :D

ahhh! how LUCKY this crowd! how lucky to hear and see this guy in person. ooohhhh!!! how many are so desperate to grab a chance like this! i love this voice! it doesnt matter how old he is, he owns that VOICE! that vvvoooiiiiccccceeeee! really, lucky audience. how precious this moment is!

Awesome as always Steve! Expected nothing less even after all these years. Your voice sounded as beautiful and in shape as it ever was. One of the best entertainers and showmen in the business then and now. Always a professional. Truly a golden voice like yours is a gift from God! Never "hide your light under a bushel" let it shine as you did this night. Love you

steve is the man. one of the best frontmans of all time

And Steve doesn't need Journey to sing the songs of Journey. He's great on his own with the Eels of course!!!

did you hear him hit those wordless high notes twice in LTS?!? They were clear, crisp and clean!!! Very hard to do if you are just coming back but I forgot that he was singing on stage not too long ago BEFORE THIS at the Drum Off with Average White Band's Steve Ferrone and QuestLove . He couldn't have just sang one song (even though RU-vid only shows him singing background for one song), because Steve Ferrone says he was singing his a$$ off that night. so there has to be more to THAT Drum Off performance too. I WISH anyone who has it would to the RU-vid and world music community a a favor and UPLOAD IT FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!

He's still definitely got the pipes!

No one can be Steve Perry and I just had a tear of Joy down my face thank you 💋💋💋💋💋

If I didn't know anything about SP and was just watching to enjoy the sight and sounds...I would think he is only 35 at the most...

This morning, as I lie in my bed grinning ear to ear, I am most thankful for this little thing called RU-vid. And yes; I am 100% envious of every soul in that theatre. Lucky dogs!

He is so comfortable with a microphone back in his hands! I don't care what notes he hits...as long as I can hear him S I N G!!!!

Still got it!!!Steve perry marvellous as always.....those audience are soooooo lucky to see him sing again,very very lucky

Cant beat that voice,god bless the 80s

Steve Perry has still got it I like Arnel too but Steve is Journey...

Steve in his prime (and I still love the way he sounds now) however in his prime he was the best male singer in history of song - for range, pitch, tone, and emotion. Freddy was also incredible, however, the other members of queen harmonized with Freddie to get that great distinctive queen sound, both great legends of music. Steve's on the end of "why can't this night go on forever", says it all just listen...at 68 he is aging really good as well. God bless him, can;t wait to hear the new stuff.

Man, that was some good stuff right there.

No matter how many times I watch this. I love this so much. Steve singing Lights was so amazing. I am so envious of everyone there. Because I was not there. Steve is so Electric he’s on fire that night. He was having so much fun you can tell that he missed being on stage. Crystal in Ohio loves you Steve Forever and Always. Once a musician always an Musician till the very end 🔥❤️‍🔥💯💯🎼🎶🎤⭐️🌟✨💫⚡️💥💎💎🧨🧨📀💿💽

Outstanding! You don't need Journey Steve... They need you! What a great showman. Can still raise the crowd up to a higher plane. Best wishes in whatever you do (but please keep singing!!!)

I love listening to him sing, He will always be the VOICE, he did it so perfectly!!! just can not get enough of your singing Steve Perry, I will always want to hear more and more from you!! You are the best!!!

He is amazing

Steve has always had magic in his voice and this proves that the magic is still there . God bless you Steve Perry . VOICE OF GOLD 🎤❤

I so need MORE Steve Perry. The Voice still sounds totally awesome! Music world needs you still.

Brought tears to my eyes! THE VOICE!

OMG Steve Perry and Jimmy Barnes. OMFG i adore perry no matter his age. and barnsey. well enough said

This was the best Eels concert I have ever been to. Puddles Pity Party opened. Steve Perry was such a treat!

He sounds amazing !!

I was at this show! I loved Journey as a kid and I love the Eels as an adult, so this was an unbelievable thrill. Kudos to E and Eels for bringing Steve Perry back onstage. It was truly a privilege to be in that audience. Thank you for posting this brilliant video.

Steve Perry is unlike ANY man of any Band thru history! Truly a genuine, caring, gracious, humble amazing Man!!

Whoever this guy is he has talent. He could be a rock star or something.

Wow! Steve you are still and always will be the best. THAT VOICE!

Listening in 2022 phenomenal man ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I can hardly wait until his new solo cd is released!

Awesome Steve!!!

I've been in bands and playing for almost 20 years... Journey has been in my Holy Trinity of bands since the day I discovered music at 8 years old... If I was sitting there with a guitar looking at Steve Goddamn Perry sing Only Sixteen like that I wouldn't be able to do it. I'd be absolutely broken down in tears. Never seen the man sing live (born the year Journey broke up during RoR) and I don't know if Eels know the level of jealous I am for this. That man is simply the greatest.

A remarkable gift from a truly humble, grateful man .... Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Love Steve Perry he is the best of Journey,

HURRY BACK!!!!! YOU ARE SORELY MISSED!!!!

The longer he stays on stage, the more comfortable he gets. .. miss him, miss Journey.

Really... this guy can sing the phone book... Great Steve Perry!

The best! Hands down! He truly does "Stand Alone..

Good God is this guy an AMAZING singer. 67 yrs old and he can belt like that! Wow! Incredible singer. Come to Palm Beach Fl Steve...

I wish I could have been there at this concert to see the greatest singer in history to sing. Always the VOICE.!!!! The Great Steve Perry.!!!!

The MAN - the VOICE! Just awesome! I had the tickets, saw the shows and wore the t-shirts proudly! ❤️

I listen to this quite often and just can't get enough of him!!! listen to them pipes still!!! holy crap he sounds great!! what a humble legend!!!!

Absolutely LOVE Steve Perry ❤️❤️❤️

He's so awesome.. I love Steve Perry and would do anything to meet him...

The incomparable Steve Perry. I think it's wonderful he made the decision to perform again. Doesn't sound like he has the register that he used to in this video, but no one at 65 sounds the same that they did 30-40 years ago. Or maybe just needs practice. He still has a beautiful voice! A voice that millions of his fans would surely to pay to still see. Hope he does some new music. His real fans don't care about octaves.

Steve Perry has an awesome tone to his voice here. Matured sure, but crazy expressive. I really hope he sings at the R&R HoF show. Who cares if the keys need to be changed to fit the range? I'd listen to a Perry tour all day long.

Steve Perry cant wait for that solo album, i know everyone keeps saying journey journey journey. if you feel it would feel right to be in journey then do that, otherwise do what you feel is right but dont keep that voice away from us fans

It just is as it is. Hearing the unique voice of Mr. Steve Perry seeing him with his passion in singing like in that concert with EELS - tears of joy and really good emotions always come to me then. Yes , such a unique artist and his voice always is a reliable friend in my life.

Am so jealous these people got a surprise of a lifetime to enjoy seeing Steve Perry perform again

OMG......I love this man, voice of an Angel !!

Wow...just watched that and he wld make Million$...of people happy by going on tour. Love the virtuosity of Neil Schon, but he is the reason I'm goin. I don't care how he sounds, it's good enuf for me just to see that goofy dance/strut and the soulful sway again. Plus, he's saved his voice for 20 years while on sabbatical! Do it bro...

you haters were never SP fans....how can you say he lost it!! He sounds fantastic!!!! still so soulful. Faithfully a Perry girl!!!

Pure Magic!!! That Voice is just incredible!
