Steve Perry literally one in a billion . The real Golden voice

Love Steve Perry, he’s so gifted. Still sounds great. I’m a new fan. Best rock vocalist ever.

!Lord! Bring Back The 80's Please!!!

Steve Perry is one of a kind. The Voice like no other. LOVED the analysis here.

Sean, you are spot on with the assessment of Steve…He is the Voice! BTW, your voice sounds superb as well!

Steve Perry is flawless!!!!!

Journey was my very first concert. 1986, I was 16, a senior in high school. They were amazing.

Steve has mentioned that his extension and vocalization of vowels comes from the fact that he was born and raised by Portuguese parents from the Azores Islands and he himself is fluent and has recorded in Portuguese.

Steve is still fire, always will be. He's legendary, he was born to sing.😎🎸👌🎵

Love Steve Perry. Great singer

An beautiful voice! Thanks for the awesome review. You have an amazing voice as well.

Your analysis on Steve Perry and this live performance were so right on!!! I instantly subscribed and liked!!!

"Once in a lifetime singer" is what Neal Schon called Steve Perry.

one great singer (you) analysing another..the master..Mr Perry...... fascinating

Never getting tired of listening to his voice especially live performances.. and everytime is always like the first time

I love that you said Steve is a vocal athlete! Great first reaction video. You are wrong about the back up vocals, though. I'm pretty sure all members are trained singers. I've watched a bunch of docuseries and saw them warming up, and the background vocals are definitely live and smooth as silk. I agree this version is better than the recorded one. 😁

Steve Perry is my ROCK GOD! 🥰😍❤

I know you mentioned their song Mother Father, I would love for you to do a reaction to that song from the same concert bc i really think Steve Perry gives the best live vocal performances I have ever seen, its the only live performance i put above the queen live Aid performance .

Steve Perry has the enate ability to make songs live unique to the crowd and gets them involved by the soul he brings to each and every song! Yes he is to me one of the greatest if not the greatest vocalists of all time but his ability to reach you through your feels is one in a billion

Steve just released a NEW album. Traces. GET IT!!!

Thanks for this reaction. It's interesting to see what makes a singer great. I'm also a huge Perry fan for those reasons...a wonder vocalist.

Sean is spot on, great analysis

Steve Perry is amazing. Loved your comments on this.

Steve Perry is flawless!!!!!! Please don't sing dude!!!!!

Steve Perry was always better live...so much emotion live!!! 💕

Yes! Been waiting for you to do something like this and loved this video! Would love to see more reactions down the line! (you know where to find me if you need suggestions lol) For everybody who doesn't know Sean, he's an INCREDIBLE coach who has been nothing but help me and motivate me to develop my voice and artistry over the past few years- 10/10 would recommend!

Hudson, NY? I was just there last week visiting family. That's cool your studio is located there. Good review on SP vocals. The Voice is one in a lifetime.

A rare gifted singer. Have you ever heard his newest songs?

I have a friend John Dagostino, 61 years old, sings in a Journey/Styx Tribute band called Chain Reaction whose voice is so close to Steve Perry's it's uncanny. These are singers who are endowed with high Tenor voices. That's where their voice wants to reside. Gifted, then developed voices. The envy of many Tenors..lol!!

WOW,thank you for that amazing explanation,you are incredible, I have great admiration for you,so happy you are now with VJB, love it.

STEVE PERRY STILL THE KING🤴 .

You are definitely right..steve perry is most awesome doing live concert than studio recording...check out “be good to yourself” live concert video...Wow..for me he was and still..the best rock and roll..singer ever..love him so much😘 thank you so much for featuring my one and only idol..Steve Perry❤️

That's Sam Cooke's favourite son right there, now. The legendary VOICE! Saw them on this tour my senior year of high school, Halloween night in Mobile, Alabama. 1981 Represent! Ha ha ha.

all the hard and intense touring at the hand of their manager, tired him and his voice out which is why he walked away.....I think he did the right thing - he's able to still sing today so he saved himself....

Sean, can you do "Mother, Father" since it's rarely done by anyone (I think there are like 4 or5 on KZfaq now). You mention it as an example of his range, especially his use of falsetto.

Lol, you must be reacting from memory of previous listen as you talked over almost all his vocals in this video 😏

Great analysis

amazing review ✌️

Steve Perry still has it.

I think I have to agree with you about the back-ups being re-recorded by Steve Perry. Good ear.

You talked more than you listened. Missed a lot of great vocals dude... 🎤👂🏼I feel though, that you really appreciate Steve Perry’s Amazing voice and range. Thanks for reacting to Steve! 👑 and the band of course...

I like that vocal athlete term! He once said in an interview that it's like in an Olympic performance when he sings

I always thought Steve Perry was better live he got his energy from the audience

Thank you

Steve Perry edited the Houston show for DVD while the band was touring in the early 2000s. 😊

Wish my wife sing-high! ‘Not’ even close. She is a record-holder for the lowest partitone. Steve is just a phenomenal act. Voice! Top-notch.’

Live is always better. Steve has always loved producing. Man knows his shit

Aren't you in a Journey band. I've seen your videos. You sound just like him. Love your vidors.

Steve Perry

"The VOICE"

Awesome man, would love to see you react to some live guns n roses!

Know the history.....Steve's vocal hero is soul singer SAM COOKE! You can definitely hear the mixed register influence!

Someone else to check out is Graham Bonnet, an English singer who has been singing and recording everything from Bacharach to Bee gees to Deep Purple to Dylan since the late 60's.

Check out "Who's Crying Now" from the same concert he sings even better. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNdkhdqFrtG9m2Q.html

Yes u r right .. I like to listen to this live than d recording n escape album

60% voice already greatest voice He is monster

Steve Perry uses more falsetto on the infinity album especially in the songs Something to Hide and Winds of March

Sean he is your mentor. You do the same thing. He can do what he does because of the head, when he does chest you know it.

Is it me or do you kind of sound exactly like him when you demonstrate?!

2:15 bro almost broke my eardrums

The first time I discovered Steve Perry was on the We Are The World music video. This was back when Napster was all the rage. When he came on screen, I remember thinking, "Woah, who was that??". Just a few seconds is all it took to impress the crap out of me. I had to search to find his name and immediately downloaded all the songs I could find. Been a huge admirer ever since. Great reaction video! Have you heard of Dimash Kudaibergen? If not, I highly recommend you do a blind video reaction to him singing a French song called S.O.S. followed by a song called Sinful Passion. He's a singer from Kazakhstan and is considered to have the best voice in the world. If you haven't heard him before, you will definitely get sucked into a rabbit hole. Godspeed. S.O.S: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gKuqZNR4uJa4YYU.html Sinful Passion: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZ92n6d-qNWcfIk.html

You do a good Steve Perry impression. I would like to see you react to Alice in Chains- Love Hate Love Love at the Moore or if you want a completely different genre plz try Dimash IMO the best male singer out there. Try Sinful Passion or Love is Like a Dream. I am a Rock Metal guy but Dimash is freakin insane!

Amazing please Russell Hitchcock

Not everybody can react to this appropriately. They dont know who he is.

Love Journey? Love Steve Perry? Check out my latest cover of MOTHER FATHER here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/itlyqNh5pt-8iH0.html

Thankyou for not pausing too much through the video like all vocal coach reaction videos. Please react to Karen Carpenter live vocals

I thought you were johnathon from queer eye from the thumbnail

If you really want to hear Perry's power and range, listen to 'Captured'. Just amazing!

Your commentary and analysis is very pointed and detailed (and very appreciated) but, please, don't belt into the mic. A diaphragmatically supported vocalization at that range in the upper registers is quite hard on the ears and you obviously have a powerful voice. Maybe point away from the mic when you're giving a vocal example?

Steve really great with voice lifting, if u go back to we r the world with Micheal Jackson n rest of other superstars

Steve sings naturally nothing fake- only Roy Orbison has more range and pitch. Alison Kruse is the gold standard in pitch control. Check out wings of Pegasus reviews with the pitch graph.

Bro you sound like auto tune your amazing 3:38

you talk over the song you dont watch the video , you look at the camera This is not a reaction, it is a monologue with the journey video in the background. -1

pause the video if you want to talk

Hello just subscribed can you please react to Pentatonix evolution of Ariana Grande please

Not true. The backing vocals are from the band. Don't forget they started in the70s / came up in an era of music that was highly competitive. There were no tricks. You had to be multitalented to make it to the top. You had to be able to sing / play live, at a minimum. It is one of many reasons why. Much of today's music is momentary / will never be, or have. That timeless quality. Musicians were better. Off the top of my head. Journey, Kansas, Yes, Queen, The Eagles, & The Doobie Bros. Have members executing multi part harmonies. While providing instrumentation. There are more. Those are just the ones that jump out at me.

Don't stop believin again? That's not his only song everyone Au dam voice teachers listen to the same dam song

Please talk less. Heard more of u that steve. Pause when u wanna talk and enjoy the rest of the time.lol

Can you please react to Arnel Pinedas version of Faithfully with Journey? I would love to hear what you think about how he sings it. Not saying it’s better then Perry’s, just great in its own right. Nobody reacts to it ever.

I mean no offense to you, but this is not really a reaction video as advertised, it is better defined as an analysis video. A reaction video is a video where you have no to minimal prior knowledge and experience with the material you are watching, you clearly have seen/heard Journey before.

I'm disappointed that Don't Stop gets so much reaction. Any live version of Winds of March from 78 thru 80 deserves attention. Perry is a vocal freak who got away with so much throat or head voice singing. Also you so often hear him breathe which suggests room for improvement even for him. Who's Crying Now from same concert is good example. Regardless, pure lyric tenor.

Why bother playing the video if there's talking going on throughout the video.

You talk too damn much

stop being so egocentric and pay attention to the song

Dude, pause and talk. dont talk over the best vocalists in rock history. Dislike, and i didnt even get one minute in

Like a gay voice 😂
