No auto tune, no BS. Just pure unadulterated talent. He sounded just as good live as he did in the studio, maybe better.

@steev11 7 месяцев назад

Exactly. Plus the backup vocals are spot on. All the guys in the band can sing so their harmonies are incredible. There is a video of them warming up backstage out there. The band is singing a cappella and they sound incredible.

@Plague_Doc22 7 месяцев назад

What I find so impressive is how good a lot the singers were from an era before autotune and heavy backing track being used. Nowadays you have the studio version being played at 70% in the background and heavy autotune on the mic so the singer is basically just harmonizing with the backing track.

@janleonard3101 7 месяцев назад

They didn't even have earpieces, so they had to rely on what they could hear no matter the acoustics or crowd noise. The tour before this one they didn't have wireless mics either so Steve had to pull the cord around with him.

@robertg7396 7 месяцев назад

I would definitely recommend "Mother, Father" from this same show. Steve absolutely kills vocally during that song. I would also recommend reacting to another song in Journey's catalog. It is much later in their career and is actually the last song Steve did as the lead singer (before leaving the band). A song called "When you love a woman". A beautiful heartfelt ballad. Some of Steve's solo work you need to check out too; "Strung Out," "Oh Sherry," and my personal favorite, "I Stand Alone." 😃

@chasestreet8082 7 месяцев назад

Like others have already said, I think most Journey songs sound even better live. The musicianship with every member is top notch, and then you have the vocal talents of Steve Perry, who easily is a poster child for the "Will never be another like him" conversation. The "Mother, Father" song is definitely a must listen. Steve Perry has often said its the hardest song to sing, yet he kills it in the live performance from this same Houston concert. Thanks to both of you for checking this one out, and I can't wait for your next reaction. Keep on rocking!!

@toddylu6869 6 месяцев назад

The hours and hours listening to them, then recording from the radio. Waiting patiently for the DJ to stop talking so I could hit record on my little boom box. Then in my car cassette player, then CD, MP3, and now can stream them from anywhere using a phone. I knew all the words 2 months ago to get a free shot at Senor Frogs in Nassau...their music is always perfect ( everyone knew the song and most everyone got a shot). Deep Purple opened at the first one, Bon Jovi the second. My Daddy took me to the first concert in 1981. My parents went with me the third and last time I saw them live, around 1985 or 86. I am now 55, Daddy is 86 and Faithfully is his all time favorite song. They were my first concert. Loverboy soon after. Those were fantastic concerts and great memories.

Steve Perry’s vocals are so great, that people often overlook the guitar playing of Neal Schon. I was lucky enough to live 30 miles down the peninsula from 1968-77, when San Francisco was a rock and roll Mecca. I went to high school with Neal and I remember when he walked up to my friends and I one day and said (paraphrasing) "I was up at Carlos's last night and showed him a few things". Not long after, he dropped out of school and joined Santana on their African tour. Around that time, he turned down a request from Eric Clapton to join Derek and the Dominoes after committing to Santana.

I was at their SF stop for that tour. They were epic! We were able to get tickets only because they added an extra night for a Cable car benefit. If I remember, Loverboy opened for then on the tour, but because Journey added that extra night, Loverboy did not play. Perry is perfection! You HAVE to see their song "mother father", if you have not already!
