Here is what made JSS the perfect fit. Vocal ability, he wasnt trying to be or sound like Perry, he had tone, a stage presence but not over doing it. And he made the songs his own which sounded fresh and very, very good.

I'm a huge Steve Perry Journey fan but I have to say Jeff Scott Soto does this song justice. He's good.

I commend him for not trying to sound like Perry He is owning it by being his own and it ain't bad either!

A big follower of Soto since Malmsteen....he is a fine singer!!!!!

This is one of my favorite Journey songs and I have to say that Jeff did a fantastic job on the hardest catalog of songs to sing from any band. He knew his parts and his voice was in great form here. Great job.

Journey have been blessed with World Class vocalists, i wish more had been done with Jeff.

This was a great line-up with Jeff and Deen...

This guy should have been the permanent Journey singer, especially moving forward with new material.

I’ve come back and listened to this performance several times over the last couple of years and I like it more and more. Scratching my head, why in the world did Journey not retain JSS’s services. What a refreshing take on this song! What a great singer!

I saw this tour in Vegas. I’ll never understand what happened and why not. Jeff was tremendous.

One of my favorite singers💜❤️💜

Jeff was THE BEST THING to happen to Journey in many years. They ducked up when the let him go. He has one of the best voices in rock -- ever. I hung out with him for a couple years in Colorado and during the time he got the gig with Yngwie. Then he of course moved away and toured. Nicest guy, fantastic voice. So lucky to know him. Cannot wait for new album and American tour by his new band Sons of Apollo!!!!!!!

This is proof that Jeff Scott Soto was the right singer for Journey. The performance and the feeling JSS puts into it. In case any of you wonders, I’m a big fan...and I’m from Puerto Rico. Rock on!!!

Jeff Scott Soto is a phenomenal singer. He sounds perfect. He looks like Chris Cornell here.

Jeff is incredible.... Wow! That's all I can say. World class for sure.

Journey with Jeff!!! Great, the best choice...

Jeff sounded awesome in Journey! I would pay a ticket to see this, wth were Journey thinking?!

Wow, I just discovered today that JSS had done a stint in Journey. He sounds fuckin great. He really is one of my top metal/ rock vocalist and I am really impressed and a little surprised by how well his voice fits in this "adult contemporary" style ballad. I know he still has a bunch of years left but I think it's a shame he didn't achieve more fame and recognition. It's just one of those things I guess sometimes the cards we're dealt in life aren't the best. But as as JSS goes, in interviews he seems happy and content in life. If it were me I probably would have gotten all tucked up, bitter and jaded, developed substance abuse problems and fucked my life all up...oh wait a second..i did do that😢. Anyway, rock on Mr Soto and thanks for being such an inspiration for the rest of us out there who need inspiring.

Jeffs a hell of a singer and hes proves it everytime he opens his mouth >>>Journey will never replace Steve but why should they try ,,,lets just enjoy journey !!!!!!

Soto was AMAZING here!!!

I only knew him previously w/ Yngwie. WOW!! What a KILLER SINGER!! Yep-do it and be Journey's next singer!! GREAT RENDITION!!!

He sounds great and the backing vocals are amazing

I couldn't imagine listening this song and get the voice of the same person from song like I'll See The Light Tonight, On The Run Again, or Disciples of Hell..

JSS is amazing. Class act.

Why didn't they keep this guy!? Jesus what a set of pipes he's got on him. Plus he's got an incredible swagger around the stage, he really knows how to work a crowd. You think these old geezers in the band were intimidated by him?

I would trade in Arnel and get this Rockstar. 2006 -2007 was great with Jeff.

this band has been soo lucky, it has had some great singers!!!!

Man that guy can sing !!!

JSS does this and other J songs absolute credit - what a fkg great voice - nice human too

JSS is the man,lost classics that could have been.

superb voice, nice guy

JSS was so great out front ! Beautiful job on this timeless material. He wasn't supposed to be anything but himself !!! That's what he was !

I never saw Journey with Perry. I haven't seen them with Pineda. But I saw them 4 times with Augeri and twice with Soto. The second time with Soto was the best Journey concert I've been to. He wasn't trying to sound like Perry and Jonathan Cain didn't like that.

This lineup was perfect.

This guy devo can sing - like all singers that Journey had through the years!!! But still missing Steve and knowing he'll never return to the Band

This is fantastic ⚘😘

Soto is superb.... Should have stayed with journey!

This is Neal's theme song to Steve Perry. "I'll be alright without you. There'll be someone else, I keep telling myself..."

He sounds great.

Fantastic. Wouldve been great to see what he couldve done with this band.

Holy... JEFF SCOTT SOTO!!!

This guy saw him in Milwaukee with Journey and Def Leopard and I can tell you this guy could have kept singing. Awesome and the rest of Journey screwed up dropping him like they did.

Jeepers! From Malmsteen to Journey! Jeff Scott Soto is no joke!

One of my fav Journey songs. I think he sounds great. This song is also great no matter what singer is doing it. That's the thing about a great song...

tragic to see such a great band, with such fine songs. a long history and great musicians keeping it up with no chemistry for each other any more... just a day at the factory

Good job, Mr. Jeff Scott Soto🙂👍

Love Deen's drumming!

Soto is simply one of the best rock singers.

Jeff Scott Soto is a true professional. Arnel is a karaoke singer.

Love this song!! Nice Job JSS!

wow never realized how good JSS is! incredible!!!

Jeff scott soto..!!!!!!!!!!!!

F+cking great singer

What a voice!! Rhinoceros balls, armor plated tonsils, and beautiful tone.

Great metal singer and also great at singing Journey songs awesome voice😀

Ni body can sing like Mr perry anymore no better done like Mr perry I'm sorry guys Mr perry still the one the golden voice ever legendary man Still Soo smooth sweet sounds already Mr perry still the oreginality are the best

Pineda's great but Soto rules. He would've brought them to a new, refreshing level.

Never got to see them with JSS singing but he sounds great..🤙🇵🇷🙌Good luck to him in whatever projects he has 👏

damn they need to play this song more often its my fav

Although Steve Perry is my favorite singer ever, I have to give it to Jeff, it's not easy at all singing Perry, and he did a great job! Love the song too!

Jeff is just awesome :D

We saw journey with Soto and it was awesome

I love this song & yes Jeff dont sound like Steve but thats what made him good. He wasnt trying to copy Steve Perry, He didnt need to lip sync. I cant see myself going to see Journey without Steve Perry.

Soto is just perfect for this band!! What happened??? He is hitting those notes like he owns them! Schon made the wrong decision to not keep this great wonderful singer! That is perfection in a magical form like no other!!! WOW wow & wow!!!-

I love this. The instrumental music and background vocals are exemplary. JSS is an incredible talent with or without Journey. He was as good as it was gonna get! I can understand if the chemistry wasn't right offstage perhaps, sometimes it just doesn't 'gel' with someone, especially when it comes to writing

Awesome singer thats all there is to it this guys incredible!!!

I was there that night in front row by Neal Schon area but you couldnt see us........darn it! Cool video, Thanks!

It's horrible journey never plays this hit of theirs anymore!

Man it is such a shame he got the boot. JSS is such a great singer and I think a great fit for them and did a fantastic job. It's kind of upsetting when people can't get over that he's not Steve Perry. I love SP the most in Journey and on this song...but come on JSS gots a great powerful voice that's needs to be recognized.

damn!!!!! he can sing. why did he leave them. or I like him. I have listened to all of them. I think I like him best after perry

That show was amazing.

jeff the best

He sounds like an opera singer, nice because he is not imitating! love Steve Perry!

I like Arnel but I think Jeff Scott Soto could've been their best replacement, This was as close to perry as they could get. Jeff Scott Soto you're an amazing musician, Puerto Rican Journey fans are proud of you

definitely a nice vocal tone! doesn't oversing like current singer.

amazing Execution of the song! great singer.

Jeff Scott Soto can sing anything! Great Singing Jeff!

It’s interesting to see Ross Valory playing a song from the only Journey album from which he is absent. Of course he plays Randy Jackson’s bass line with all the finesse it deserves.

What a great singer!! Not a CLONE...

I have loved Steve Perry and Journey since first seeing them in a live concert on television back in the 70s when Steve had just joined. Not sure if it was on Don Kirschner's Rock Concert or the Midnight Special or maybe even PBS. Been a minute. Loved them ever since and at one point owned everything Journey had ever released, even back to their pre-Steve Perry prog-rock days when Gregg Rollie was their keyboardist and lead singer as well. But when Steve Perry left the fold for good I struggled with the idea of a Steve Perry-less Journey. Most long-time fans have struggled with the uncertainty, not just me. Was not Steve Augeri's biggest fan although I liked the non-Steve Perry-penned songs he sang. But he was not Steve. Really, who else could be. I begrudgingly gave Arnel a fair listen on their live from Manila video. He did a pretty spot-on Steve Perry albeit with a slight accent. I had heard rumors that Jeff Scott Soto had stepped into Steve Perry's shoes. Loved Jeff when he sang with Yngwie Malmsteen. Had not heard him with Journey. Jeff has a great voice and I love how he sings this song, but it was immediately apparent they had to bring the song down a few steps into JSS's far more baritone vocal range than the high tenor range favored by Steve Perry. This is a great version of the song. Love Jeff's vocals and great stage presence but Journey songs are known for vocally heading into the upper stratosphere register-wise and this? Definitely did not go there. At least Arnel gets up into Perry's upper tenor registers. Jeff might have been a good fit as far as stage presence but he would continue to alter the classic Journey sound, just because his voice is noticeably deeper than Steve Perry's. That would be both good and less awesome. JSS does not try to sound like Steve Perry. Kudos for that. Can't be Steve so just had to be himself. But bringing Jeff aboard permanently would require alternate tuning on every Journey song and it would be a little weird never hearing another soaring falsetto Journey song ever again. Just my two cents.

Neil Schon screwed this up, he's been stating for many, many years that Journey is "his" band and he'll nake the hard, final decisions accordingly. Maybe Jeff was too strong or didn't cow down to Schon the Supreme, so he had to go. The dude has some serious pipes and is an extremely versatile talented vocalist without a doubt.

Jeff Rocks!

Saw Journey with Jeff Soto back in 2006 with Def Leppard

What hell were you thinking, Journey?

Jeff Scott soto!! Talento gigantesco!! Pena que preferiram um cover... Muito bom, mas é um cover.

He sounded really good..

🙃outstanding performance

I really dig that they are playiong without wireless systems...cord straight to the amp.

Jeff is a crazy amazing singer and has a fatter sound than Perry but he's still great and maybe it was a little hard for him due to the high ranges but he still did a good job. Neil prob was so used to Steve's voice coming out of those monitors that he just had to have Steve 2.0. Arnel is good but a little too forceful, imo. Soto actually has a deeper range than Perry so he has to push harder to get those really high notes but what he did with Malmsteen was amazing.

Had they stuck with Soto and recorded new material, they would have been back on the map. He was GREAT! Can't believe they ousted him and took on Pineda.

Just give it up nobody u get to take sp place will ever have his unique sound and voice

Jeff has pipes

Soto now with Sons of Apollo. So good. All-star group.

I'm absolutely convinced without a doubt that Neal Schon's ego was the main reason for letting go the Best Singer and Performer Jeff Scott Soto..specially when we all know Steve Perry and Neal had clashes about who was in charge of the Band. Jeff was too much of a good thing.. a seasoned veteran in the Music industry who could have contributed with new Journey music..but Neal's Ego got on the way

In my opinion, from what I heard in an interview with Jeff years ago, they didn't get along because Jeff was going into his forties with a party attitude, and all the older guys in Journey wanted to soak their feet and go to bed early after a show because sixty was around the corner. I'm joking. Different people. Different times. And yes, I'm a Puerto Rican Soto, from Brooklyn, who is a cousin of his, but I barely know him other than a few emails and a quick phone call with him when his dad "Red" called my mother from backstage at a concert in Orlando decades ago. Jeff's mom spirited him away from the Soto enclave in Brooklyn and ran far away from that side of the family (I met his dad, his/my cousins, et al, but never had any connection from that branch of the family even though we live in the same gigantic town called "Brooklyn"; though I brag about Jeff just because we share genetic material...who wouldn't?). I was thrilled when Jeff was chosen to be in Journey, and when the "firing" happened, I knew, just knew it had to be Jeff's doing (men in our family shoot themselves in the foot for the love of it); not that Jeff doesn't have a freaking amazing life. He has it made. Lucky, lucky man. Very talented, and Journey made a mistake when they fired him. Pineda is great too, and absolutely their pet. Which if I were in his shoes, I'd probably be the same...the money's big, right? Oh well.

In my opinion Jeff Scott Soto was the best replacement that Journey could have. He sings the songs in his own style and not trying to copy Steve Perry.

i loved his voice very similar to steve perry!!!!!

those were the days my friend we thought they would never end

I forgot about JSS WAS with Journey. What a wonderful voice. I think his style real fit that smokey sound that Perry had Journey doing on liven on radio tour in 85 and 86. Wish it could of worked out for him. He could couldn't be the little rabbit on stage like Perry or Arnel.. he was a much larger man. But moved very well in his own way. He surely nailed this song right on the beat.
