This, my friends, is why I rank Steve Perry above Freddie Mercury.
He’s of course better than shitty mercury
I always thought that Freddie Mercury is overrated...Steve Perry is a better vocalist than him.
same. Love Freddy but no one has chops like Steve.
Absolutely! He is the GOAT!!!
Freddie was NEVER in his league
For Steve to sing so pitch perfect while walking around just proves how amazing he really is vocally that's hard to do
This performance boggles the mind. It's one thing to pull this off in the studio, but LIVE. WOW!!!!!!!
Tap on one of uploads describing his reach in this song and others,.. & js, did u hear " Little Girl" from the more progressive rock album done in japan
THERE’S ONLY ONE LEAD SINGER OF JOURNEY…. And it’s this man!!!!
Everybody else is a cheap imitation
Everyone else is from Temu 😂
Journey now is a good cover band since Steve Perry has left
AMEN!!!!
Steve is not human. No mortal man can sing like this in live!
Steve is 10x better than Freddy Mercury and Elvis combined
@@hudsoncarnahan2152 facts!
@HudsonCarnahan, you can't compare the 3. They all had unique voices that could not be found or compared to any other artist. They were all amazing in their time
Rob Halford From Judas Priest 😀
The Singers Have A Unique Style & Quality Of Singing .
Journey Is Awesome 😀
Geoff Tate
Love the part when Steve holds a note that makes neal and jon look at him
He’s not called The Voice for nothing! Steve’s vocal control is INSANE! One of my absolute favorite vocalist.
Colin Blunstone of the Zombies was originally known as The Voice
@samdeninno1951
Nah that was Whitney Huston
@@dupersuper6516 Colin first hit was in 1964 when Whitney was in diapers
If any rock singer hit the elusive G5 note .........
Steve could reach it in the studio or live.
At 58 years young asI sit here and listen to Steven Ray Perry, again , his vobclllpl vocals give me goosebumps ! His vocals are Orgasmic. I sit here at my age listening to him before and after and I still cry tears of joy . First off , I have to suck in my air and then just let it all out and I will never, ever have his " The Voice" .
This so is sooo bad ass!!!!
The guy is an alien!! And the hardest part of this song is towards the end. thats also where logic will tell you that he should already be tired. The best male Vocalist that ever lived!! I dont think thats even arguable.
This performance is INSANE.
Has anyone else even attempted this?!?!? - HOLY SH*T!! - this song is crazy hard and Steve makes it look effortless. The man was channeling something supernatural singing this. There's a reason Steve sang this particular song but for a couple times at the start of the Escape tour....Damn!
I know right, he sings it so effortlessly its almost unhuman, i mean really how he does that ? Most def. greatest rock vocal ever.
There's the Queen (Freddy Mercury) The King (Elvis) Then there's Steve over here and he is just 10 times better than them both combined

@@hudsoncarnahan2152 Don't forget about Geoff Tate and Dio
I love how Steve kept singing when the boys were coming in for the chorus and they all shared a laugh #woops
cart8015 I wonder if Steve noticed, he just kept on singing.
Great catch
Steve is the GOAT, and this proves it.
Journey has so many good songs, I like all of their songs.
Me too!
Real, every song is a masterpiece ! ❤️
Perfect G5 and then go back down to perfect pitch makes me believe Steve Perry is not Human
Steve is a great human being who held and holds high standards for himself and his craft. That is why we getting phenomenal performances like this!
Listening to this made me think about how in the 70’s & early 80’s Steven Perry was exactly what Chris Cornell was to Rock ‘N Roll in the 90’s & beyond. They both were & will always be seen as 2 of the most gifted singers of all time & mastered their craft impeccably! What a tragedy that one was silenced by suicide & the other just stopped singing. 😢
STEVE PERRY'S VOICE JUST DOES THINGS TO ME! NOBODY LIKE HIM EVA!!!!
Come on!, nobody ROCKS like this these days.....
lay it town? boy, I want to go there!!!
So so good, Steve, charismatic, sexy with that voice, simply unmatched. I also like that he always goes back to the (fantastic) drummer. The whole band in that line-up was amazing, it's a shame it broke up.
This is definitely Journey's dirtiest and sleaziest song and it FUCKING ROCKS! One of my favorites by them.
This is a musical band with a rock and roll legend Voice! Mr.Perry🙏
Pressed in an interview Steve said this was horrible song. He hated it. But, he sings it so well. He puts everything in every song...even those he hates.
That's crazy, considering that it is one of their most intense, hardest songs they ever did
Never liked it either.
Can you send me the link to that interview? Did he say why he hate it? Is it because of the high notes?
No words other than UNTOUCHABLE!!!
Simply amazing! Steve 'the voice' Perry!!! #Steve Perry: gotta love him and all that talent!
This song is probably my favorite journey song now. Jesus that’s straight up metal and they kicked ass at it
They messed up on subtitle at the beginning of the video, they put it as "LAY IT TOWN" not "Lay It Down". When I saw that I giggled for a few seconds.
One of the greatest rock singers of all time
Steve veers at 3:04 taking Neal and Jonathan by surprise -- the look on their face, "okaayy"
Wait how is it supposed to be?
@@nnmrtin8426 They're supposed to go into the chorus there; that's why they go to their microphones but then take a step back and start smiling and talking to each other. They go into the chorus right after Steve's improvised solo instead.
COULD SIT AND LISTEN TO STEVE SING ANYTHING HE IS THE "VOICE"!!!!!!!!!
1:49 John looking over at steve like, holy crap I’m on the same stage with this god?!
That kind of stellar vocal performance must have been very exciting to accompany
Most insane part about this concert? Perry was actually sick on this night!!
It’s crazy he absolutely kills the second verse!
Really? It’s been widely reported he was sick in Japan during the 1983 Frontiers tour, but the 1981 tour also? Wow, didn’t know that.
He sounded amazing the whole concert but I noticed he sang less and there was more instrumental content.
And down the line, years of f coke use and his voice is shot
I like rock and roll when YOU sing it!!
The best line up journey band Mr perry their already legend baby still the voice ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
LYRICS
Lookin' 'round for a feelin'
I love the rhythm and blues
The place was rockin' and reelin'
I thought I'd shake me loose
The band was pumpin' Motown
Lord how they could play
The girls a-started singing
Rock the night away
By the midnight hour
They could've raised the dead
They were takin' it higher
Higher, higher, higher, ringin' in my head
Lay it down, lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Whiskey, wine and women
They get me though the night
I ain't lookin' for trouble
I ain't lookin' to fight
A little vertical persuasion
Would do me right
What I'm really needin'
Ah, double shot tonight.
By the midnight hour
We were on our way
She was takin' it higher
Higher, higher, higher, then I heard say
By the midnight hour
They could've raised the dead
They were takin' it higher
Higher, higher, higher, ringin' in my head
Lay it down, lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
1:01/ 1:40 / 3:14
ROCK ON!!!! GREAT SONG...
Damnn I love this band!! This is one of my favorite songs
I'm Still Listening 2022
Lay It Down & Stone In Love
My Two Faves By Journey 😀
Yes, please! 💕 Honourable mention for "Loving you is easy"
@@tshedisetiloane1518 Thank You For Responding To My Comment & Journey Has So Many Awesome Songs 😀
Scorchin' Neal Schon! 😍
saw that....I am not done yet..and here is a few extra extra crazy hi notes for you all
❤ Amazing
The Voice! ❤
Steve Perry 🙌😳🤯!!!
Journey was a true Rockin' Band 🎸🎸🥁🎹!!!
Miss that!!
If you are Steve Perry you can that's why he's the called the VOICE
I'm not sure Arnel Pineda can do this one but Steve definitely lays it down.
Arnel has thicker voice. It would be hard for him to stretch that voice like Perry
During arnels younger days in the 90s, its possible. He has a high pitched voice during his 20s and 30s
Gracias ewer lord por el VÍDEO excelente me encanto maravilloso.
Vamos por más
TE SIGO Todos los días
EN TU 👍👍👏👏😘👥👥
Neal Schon’s guitar-playing reminds me of Eddie Van Halen SO much
DAM!!!! I thought mother father was high DAM!!!!!
This song has a serious AC/DC vibe to it. A bit like "You Shook Me All Night Long" in sound and lyrical content (the sleaze, if you will), and it rocks just as hard, if not harder. 🎤🎸🎵🎶
They also toured with them just a couple years before during the Bon Scott era which Steve said prompted them to turn their game up
This song has the bones of Shot Down in flames
Yes! I think Steve got some inspiration from them because he sings a bit more raw on Escape!
More a Gene Simmons song
I hate the fact that everytime Steve is hitting the high notes, the camera would cut to someone else like I NEED TO SEE HIS PERFECT EFFORTLESS FACE
HE WILL BE BACK IN THE FOLD,,,,,BE PATIENT,,,
Bad ass!!
🎶😍🙌🏻💕!!!
song with very few covers 😅
You can tell they have some 'vocal help' with the background vocals being pre-recorded. At 3:06, Neal sings Lay It Down when he's not supposed to and nothing is heard! Neal and Jon laugh about it afterward! Of course, everything that Steve sings is live! Even when he is obviously tired and probably jetlaged he still sounds perfect!!
I don't think that's what happened. What it looks like to me is Perry improvised some vocal lines instead of going to the chorus and Schon and Cain wasn't expecting it. They were going to the chorus but backed off when they heard Perry improvising.Always follow the singer!
@@RiffMusic1970
Steve came in at the right time to do a little vocal riff like the album, but Jon and Neal were following eachother thinking they were just going to cut in at that part
Duper Super
You’re right! It looks like there was a little confusion though. Maybe Schon forgot about the vocal riff for a second and was going straight to the chorus. It sure looks like he wanted to sing on that part and backed off.
he was improvising for a little vocal riffs and schon wasnt expecting it
If there were prepared harmonies a lot of it was Steve.
Steve foi abençoado com essa voz ❤
I saw this tour and had the same white FU jeans as Neal
Wonder how this would have sounded with Rolie's Hammond....
Nice
My gosh Steve😳 think I like this version better than the recording
❤️❤️❤️.....❤️.......❤️....
100% alien
Don't forget that Neil Schonn spelling? is doing some amazing guitar work 2!!
Yeah Steve is great. Almost no singer can do like him. Except for the best singer in the world marcelito pomoy. Nobody can match him not even dimash
Why rank them? Just enjoy their greatness.
rock 'n roll
the rasp to his voice is not replicated
Why is there no HD video of this high quality performance😢
Hahaha, "Town."
steve perry he cool friend because he really cool person as a friend
Epic reason
the longer the hair the higher the voice
Good video, but the audio is lo-fi. What's up?
Can you please correct the title to say Lay It DOWN - NOT Lay It TOWN ??!!!??
Lay It Town lol
I don't think that I know this song
Someone didn't proof read the song title 😂😂
0:23
Lay It Down
I like Arnel, but there is only one Steve Perry!
"LAY IT TOWN" 🤣🤣🤣
Lay it Town 😂😂😂
HOPEFULLY WONT BE AS DISSAPOINTING AS DAVID LEE ROTH ESCAPADE,.,,.,.,
Lay it DOWN noit Town, (text in the video) 👎👎👎
