I actually spoke to Steve Perry on the phone in September of 2023. It was the most surreal moment of my life!!!!

@@veryeasilydistracted4966 was he ordering pizza? 🍕

We call this in Germany handmade music...not like today.

To each his own, just because it isn’t good to you doesn’t mean it lacks value. That’s the beauty of life is it’s mostly subjective.

@@jacobm1648 Modern music is objectively shitty. It's not subjective, it's a symptom of Rome burning.

they still exist but they are now rare. most singers nowadays are using auto tune and that's exactly the reason why I don't bother listening to them.

Truth

He had a thing what we used to call back in the day as "selling the music". It comes from his soul.

Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.

Love his voice with so much feeling and emotions

Karen Carpenter fans know that his voice does not "transcend" her mellifluous singing pipes!

@@MyOneFiftiethOfADollar Excuse me?! The power alone in Steve Perry's voice puts Karen's to silence. Please do not be petty and throw out a pretty voice up against Steve when he is so much more in every way. Pretty voices are a dime a dozen. As well as being a composer, Steve's voice is a once in a lifetime many faceted miracle of beauty, power, depth, range, emotion, strength, control, vibrancy, variety, etc, etc, etc. As to Karen, she did not even want to be a singer and called herself a drummer, which was her passion. Steve was well known and accepted as one or the top rock and roll/pop singer of all time.

@@mvies77 I excuse you for your excessive and overt hero worship. I encourage you to pursue pastimes and hobbies that will allow you to focus on your own accomplishments rather than living vicariously through the achievements of others. "Steve's voice is a once in a lifetime" Karen's voice is once in a millennia. The drummer BS you found during 1 minute Google search does not negate her mellifluous voice. Your specious "reasoning" that a drummer cannot become an epochal singer as Karen did, needs to be corrected. Arnold Pineda can match “your Steve” note for note.

@@MyOneFiftiethOfADollar Here we go. But you can waste your time and words and feel superior which makes you stupid for haranguing on me . And as far as your little boy imitator, he barely has the strength to hit a note of the great songs Perry made famous. I actually laughed when checking him out in his imitation. He sounds weak and empty. But you keep your little guy. Perry will always reign and is considered still by everyone to be one of if not the greatest rock and roll/pop singer ever. Why do you think Journey was so desperate to find an imitator. Go away now.

WOW 72....I never new that. And ur rite, what a godsend and never be forgotten at least by our generation. God Bless.

Amazingly special voice!

He has perfect tone. Never sings flat. Beautiful voice beautiful person. Never gets tired hearing his warm soothing voice.

Agree

Agree and very unique. I know who it is every time I hear him

Wow...

I remember October 9 1986 Joe Louis Arena concert. Man what a great time we had listening to this man sing! Will never forget it!

@@charlie201030 I am so jealous...we live on the reservation and I never got to see a,concert but in 86 I was a sophomore in college

True. Before him, Journey was a fairly decent band of California hippies playing music, but they didn't really have real brand or a unique sound. Steve's voice catapulted them to heights they probably had never dreamed of. Someone found an old audio recording of the first time he sang for them. I think it was some beach festival. 🤔 Anyway, the crowd went nuts. I like Arnel Piñeda, I've got nothing against him, but when they got rid of Steve and replaced him with Arnel, who was a Journey tribute band singer -- sadly, they became their own tribute band. I don't even know if they wrote new music or not. All I ever heard them do is rehash songs that Steve made hits. 🤷🏻‍♀️ When Steve was no longer there, I stopped paying attention. Voice of an angel.

You said it brother and sister!! There is no journey like Steve Perry!! Never gonna be another. Arnel is okay but he ain't Steve. Period. Arnel is okay but he didn't make journey what is was back then. He could record new material but they haven't unless you count the movie with after all these years.... good movie and song but where are the other new songs. Non existent. So journey feeds off the songs of the past that Steve Perry sang. They are good songs. Love the but I desire for lots of new stuff.

I agree with all of you. I'd like to add that they feed off of a lot of songs that Steve wrote or co-wrote as well. Steve Perry did indeed take Journey to their height of fame. They are who they are today because of him, and they owe their success to him. Having said that, I want to say that Arnel Pineda is and always has been, one of Steve's biggest fans, and I am truly happy for his rags to riches story. Still, Journey is only Journey to me with Steve "The Voice" Perry! There are none who can match his voice and superb vocal talent. He is a rare form of counter tenor. A tenor-altino. At least in his younger years. Steve is now 75 years old. None of us at that age are the same as we were in our younger years , but he still sounds great to me.❤ Love me some Steve Perry!

I also want to add that Steve is the richest out of ALL of the band members. They made a sweet deal for him. And he will get those handsome checks until the day he dies. Good for you, Steve! You deserve it! ❤😊

Que verdaderas tus palabras, Steve Perry merece mucho reconocimiento! fue y es un cantante de una voz exepcional! Todo mi amor para él ! ​@@sandrasillery4493

I 44 and love journey, I have HATEBREED tattooed on me 😆

Sinto exatamente tudo q traduz.. Parabéns por definir... PRAIA DE CAPONGA-CE 🇧🇷

Lovely comment, and yes, his voice is amazing. The current singer, Pineda, no comment.

You’re so lucky to have had the chance to see him live!!!! 😭❤️

What an amazing comment. We lived through some great musical years didn’t we?

Thank you and same for me also!

Spoken like a person who hasn't left their house in 20 years!

Me too.

👍

Theres maturity in accepting other kinds of music. It has value to someone so you can’t discount as lesser. It’s all subjective.

😍😍

I am ever so grateful to have grown up in the greatest time in American culture. We had the best music, talent, culture, fashion, and cinema (Except for Reagan. I guess you can't have it all). Long live the 1980's!

Hello Sheila, I'm glad you're a fan. how are you doing today? It's my pleasure meeting you here. Is this your favorite track?

Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.

He ´s incredible. A true singer. Counter-tenor may be? That sound and tune is UNIQUE.

I saw him in the Raised in Radio tour, his last with Journey. Such an awesome performer. His voice is truly amazing!!

I would have to say Freddie Mercury’s is better Steve’s voice is fabulous too. Both legends in their own time

They created Autotune so other singers didn't feel so bad about their voices...

@@mariaclaudiamejia2650 - From a fan site: Steve Perry has the range of a high tenor and solid alto and is considered a countertenor. He is a rare tenor altino, a rare form of countertenor..."

Endlich mal ein Mann, der ehrlich mit sich selbst sein kann. Find ich gut 👍

Me too!!!

It's gaining Indulgences for our devotions ok thx ok

I can't really describe exactly what he has, it sounds so stunning. I have never heard an example ever that can match this. Steve was one of the rare male singers who's voice didn't really deepen. Of course girls have this range, but it's just not as powerful then. Some guys can do it but it's just not as good lol.

They were a special band

The best

*all time

I have not heard that before, I wish that he would let out a gutteral scream, something like in Queen.

@@joanlynch5271 he makes his fans let out guttrral screams.

@@slamecatzwell5544 my girlfriend can scream real loud.

@@joanlynch5271 well I don’t want him be Freddie they r diff. His voice does a lot more then Freddie live not that Freddie not good but he wasn’t best live

If Jesus, The Christ, wanted to sing, he would use Steve Perry's voice to do it, because he invented it. He created it to be indelible, and imbued it with a perfect phenomenologically charismatically incontrovertible sound.

Teja Deja and almost no background singing or harmonies, just him and it’s just spectacular

amen

Teja Deja say it again! That voice is matchless

Rosalinda Young 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Yesss Ma’am! His voice is an absolutely underrated National treasure 💎💎💎...and as smooth and delicious as New York cheese cake 🍰...🎼

Chlorine Lori Right?!? I love how all the band harmonized and flowed together; but Steve Perry’s voice made Journey. So wondermous! 🥰🥰🥰 They never recaptured the magic after he left no matter the laundry list of guys they’ve brought in to replace him...sorry Arnel...nope...I can’t listen to it, not because he’s bad, but because he can’t compare and it makes me sad. He struggles just to attempt to do what Steve made look effortless. His energy doesn’t seem rock and roll it seems manic. I look at Neal and Johnathan and I think; guys, come on. Even Arnel’s getting gray. It’s time to let that 💩💩💩 go! ☹️😢☹️

Amen

I totally agree with you to the highest we can wish for a reunion I have a very strong feeling that will never happen

Agree 💯

Of course!! Steve is Journey, period!!!!

Agree

Steve Perry is the best .

He still is in 2020

@@jacquevaughn8315 No, no he isn't , it doesn't mean that he cannot sing anymore but I heard his last album and a lot of power is simply gone which is only natural given his age and his vocal style requiring a lot of power. There's no way he could song like in this video at the moment, he should lower the key and the dynamic of the song would be lost, Tone is still great, so his the pitch, control can only be gauge when the song is really demanding.

He still is at 70.

@@fabriziocamisani5477 he’s still the best singer I’ve ever heard

@@AngelofAnguish Not his fault, how does anyone compare to Steve Perry? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Right

IKR

He was the BEST of the BEST ...He Kicked ASS!

Best Male vocalist all time !

I was at this concert! Journey always put on one heck of a concert!

There's never been any other vocalist alive that could bring tears to my eyes and still make me weak in my knees like this man. It's a strange feeling, I feel as though I know him. I was 20 years old the first time I heard him sing and let's just say that it's "decades" later, and I still listen to him sing every day. I literally grew up listening to Journey until Steve left that is and I'm here to tell you, Hollywood couldn't pay me to listen to Journey now. As far as I'm concerned, Journey was no more, once they lost Steve. If you can't tell the difference between Steve Perrys voice and whoever they put in front of the microphone, you're not now and never really were a Steve Perry die hard fan. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to marry the guy, I met my soulmate at 17, married him and unfortunately I lost him, in fact in December, same as Steve lost Kelly. In any case, after all these years, I'd love to meet him, I won't lie about it or apologize for it either!!!! Stevie, please just keep on singing!!!!

yup exactly kinda hard to beat that just gotta join it

Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.

Oh yeah I hear u sister. Amazing song.

@Dr. Perl Junior I don't want to get into a vocal technique debate but they are not airy. It's easy to hear his vocal folds are making a good seal. No air escaping. This is from strong arytenoid muscles. He is singing in a connected head voice. It's open and relaxed, well supported and resonant. And yes, these skills can be developed with a lot of hard work and an excellent teacher who knows what he or she is doing. Many a person's voice has been ruined due to poor teachers.

He feels what he’s singing. It’s beautiful.

You have to check out one of the best vocalist from down under John Farnham singing the Beatles song "Help" live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. His vocals are crazy and he's an entertainer, the way he interacts with the crowd is awesome. John Farnham is an Aussie icon.

George Ibrahim I’m in Australia and have seen him in concert. Amazing. Remember he was given a huge bouquet of flowers for his wife that made him look minuscule. He not only bent down to get them but carried them offstage without skipping a beat and sounding perfect. Absolutely effortless. Funny you mention Help, because whenever I see posts about covers of famous songs I always say that his version is far superior. Can I give you a recommendation, not sure if you remember Jack Jones (Irwin Thomas) from Southern Sons, he also played with John in the 90’s. Incredible live and still gigging and is available on social media platforms. Look up a performance of “I am found” from Carols by Candlelight on youtube.... 👍🏼

Very few can match him with the exception of Freddie Mercury, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston and few others....

His pitch is flawless.

I agree
