God bless Steve that he was intelligent enough to take care of his health.
yes, but dumb enough to get addicted to drugs in the first place .. needing said taking care of his health
@@CP-ux9zdu don't have to be stupid get hooked on drugs sounds like he's got arthritis similar issues makes it quite easy
I ❤Steve Perry he could sing me the yellow pages and I would melt no one compares to you Steve.😊
I love Steve Perry. He is very talented and unlike other rockstars he has a sense of morality.
One of my all time favourite vocalists. What a Voice!!
I went to high school with Steve Perry. He was a senior, I was a freshman. He didn't know I was alive! He wasn't a star then, but I always thought he was good lookin! What a career he has had. We all need to do what we have to in order to live our best life.
Was that in Hanford? I'm from Selma. 😊
@@goosewhisperer6275 Lemoore High School. My dad was stationed at NAS Lemoore as CO of VA-25, then off to Vietnam on the USS Ranger.
@@goosewhisperer6275 I'm from Oakland! I went to high school with Tom Hanks. Woo-Hoo! (Really)
You sure have a great reason to go to the class reunion!
@@danacasey8543 Lemoore High School's motto should be "Don't Stop Believin'."
Steve Perry and Lou Gramm of "Foreigner" almost have parallel careers. It's crazy how similar they are...and 2 of the best voices ever.
Totally agree. The Kansas singer and the Toto singer were pretty good too.
Which Toto singer? They have had several of them...Bobby Kimball the main lead vocalist at first, with Steve Lukather and David Paich singing lead on some songs, and frequently all 3 sharing lead vocals on songs...then Kimball left, and was replaced with 2 or 3 different lead vocalists, one of which was Joseph Williams...also, didn't Kansas have a couple of different lead vocalists at different times?....@@davenero8243
Lo que no entienden es la explotación qué tuvieron de sus voces más la enfermedad de cada uno. Lo mismo pasó Peter Cetera en la agrupación CHICAGO y el también se fue la diferencia de Peter es qué no estaba enfermo y quería dedicarle . ltiempo a su familia ; no lo entendieron tampoco y el se fue. LA COMPETENCIA de esos años fuerte. Pero sus voces siguen hermosas. Dios los bendiga y le de salud y vida para seguir escuchándolos cantar
@@davenero8243Which Toto singer? Maybe Bobby Kimball? Lukather and Paich sang lead on several of their songs,and several songs featured 2 or 3 singers exchanging lead vocals on verses and chorus,etc..then, after Kimball left, they got a plethora of other singers to take his place...I always heard Kimball had a lot of personal issues, is why they let him go..a shame, as he had such a great distinctive voice..I feel if Kimball had been able to step up and be "THE" lead singer in Toto, and had sang lead on most of their songs, they would have had more consistent commercial success...lead vocals by committee doesn't do much for a band trying to establish an identity, and is seldom successful, although it seemed to work for Fleetwood Mac, and several successful bands have had 2 lead vocalists...
I absolutely love Lou Gramm and Steve Perry! I'm also a huge ABBA fan! I adore Agnetha Fältskog's voice ( the blonde one from ABBA).
Steve Perry One Of The Greatest Voice Ever❤❤
Clickbait. They put the word "reunion" in there to mislead people into thinking it was current. Smh. Everyone knows they reunited back in the nineties. Change the title!
It is hard to understand these people desperate to get clicks….thank you for the warning….CZcams should cancel their channels for clickbaiting…
Thanks for saving me for wasting my time. I'm glad your comment is the first one because I didn't even bother to watch the video after reading your comment. I don't want to waste my time with these types of channels so thanks for the heads up.
You are SO right!
Oops! You are so right, Kimm.
Thanks for the heads up!
Steve Perry , Mickey Thomas , Lou Graham , Michael Sweet , Paul Laine and Brad Delp...just STELLAR voices of the 70's and 80's that I don't think will ever be eclipsed...I am SOOOOO glad I grew up in the 1980"s...best time ever for music !!!!!!
Did you mean Lou Gramm from Foreigner?
Marty Balin was a great vocalist, his voice on the song Miracles high notes was up there.
It wasn’t really a reunion. It was a ‘get together’.. and they sounded fantastic.
This guy sounds like crap and he needs to shut up.
Nothing at all is or ever will be a DISASTER with Journey. They pumped out more hits and memories in a short time that are still classics.
I disagree, the disaster part was Steve Perry leaving. He was Journey.
You mean pumped out more worthless crap...
They’ve been nothing but a disaster since 1997. Musical chair singers, multiple lineup changes, firing their rhythm section, the multiple lawsuits, Including the current feud between Schon and Cain. They’re a joke anymore
@@deejay7060journey is better now than ever , if yiu saw the Philippino live show and listened to the new hits on Freedom you would be enlightened to real music
@@deejay7060 I have heard people use the word anymore the way you did but I think it's a poor used of English. Wouldn't it have been better if you typed "They've been a joke ever since then." Or something similar. Isn't the way you used anymore just some sort of slang? I just find the usage a bit weird.
Steve Perry is Journey and will always be Journey ❤
Steve Perry, Lou Graham and Freddie Mercury had voices for the ages. Just Iconic
Lou Graham? Did you mean Lou Gramm( Foreigner)?
So did Geoff Tate and Ronnie James Dio, and lest we forget Sammy Hagar?
Saw them in 79 at Alpine Valley WI . Will never forget that fantastic night.
I saw them seven times, and I saw them twice with Aynsley Dunbar on drums. First time was just Journey, no Steve Perry. Steve Smith was in the opening act, Ronnie Montrose solo tour. I knew that cat was good as I lived Enigmatic Ocean, and Steve Smith was the drummer on that album. Then, we saw Journey with Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. I forced my girlfriend to go with me as I got to see Aynsley and Carl Palmer. Much to our shock, on the second tune, out comes this dude in a red suit, with red tennis shoes, and he was doing harmonies with Greg Rolie and he wa so spot on, he just blew us away, and then they did Wheel in the Sky which NONE of us had ever heard at that time.
Pretty amazing stuff.
Saw them in '83...and because of our seats (me and my girl...we were in our early 20s) Steve would grab this pole and sing to me and my girl! Like 3 feet away. SO close I heard him not him over the sound system. I'll never forget they were so perfect..so spot on, I couldnt tell if it was the album being played. I am so glad I lived in a big city back in the day of good music. Ive seen almost EVERYONE. Even Led Zeppelin at the ASU Activity Center when I was 14! I remember buying my girlfriend a Journey T-shirt for Christmas. If you didn't life back then, you'll never understand howe big and popular their iconography was. Their Scarab/wings//Egyptian inspired logo and album art was so cool looking that is was a really cool image for t-shirts.
Awesome story. We saw Huey Lewis in a small club in Okc before anyone knew anything about him. We sat in club table closest to the stage. I walked right up against the stage and took pics with my macro zoom lens 35mm. Had to cover the lens until I clicked the shutter cause the spit and sweat was flying. They were PERFECT. Every song went on the radio and shot up the charts. Live was even better than the album. Which is almost never the case. Amazing and perfect.
The man whose voice could move Mountains ❤
Steve was there voice of journey!!! A beautiful powerful voice!
So even today’s Journey is great because of HIS songs.
yeah, thanks with the help of Arnel Pineda..
@@daisysee2935Steve Perry made Journey..
Arnel came along and saved Journey
Nah. His songs suck. Only the first 3 records are good.
The recent Christmas releases are so mellow and relaxing. Hearing Steve's beautiful voice makes the holiday extra sweet.
I'm so glad that they managed to get together to record Raised On Radio...sounds like it almost didn't happen...it may not be their most "acclaimed" album, but it is my personal favorite...I love every single track on that album....
I know. Suzanne is probably one of my fave journey songs
Suzanne is a good one...probably my favorite song on the whole album was "It Could Have Been You"...from the catchy groove to some of Steve's most soulful vocals..."Girl Can't Help It" would be second...I remember buying the album as soon as I could get it, listening to it all the way through, and asserting it was one of their best albums yet, if not THE best. And I was certain "It Could Have Been You" would be a top 10 single at some point...and perplexed a year or two later, that it was never even released as a single....@@jamesbain1010
The significance of Aynsley Dunbar joining the band is completely overlooked in this piece. He launched the band to the next level and took a huge chance joining this group of unknowns. He changed the trajectory of the band and gave them huge credibility that didn’t exist until he joined,
I was a huge journey fan. I feel so bad that I was too exhausted to go to concert. They had several hits. Casino Windsor I thank for offering me a ticket. One of best greatest rock bands in my opinion. Steve Perry had an unbelievable remarkable voice!!!!!!!
Steve Perry is Journey, Journey needs Steve Perry.
I wouldn't call anything about the Great Steve Perry "disastrous". He will remain best make vocalist. No one comes close..
No one.
Best Male Vocalist??? Guess you've never heard of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Roger Daltrey, Paul Rodgers, Robert Plant, Steve Marriott, or Eric Burdon just to name a few...
You're right no one comes close. Arnel Pineda destroys Steve Perry on his own songs.
Sex Thugs & Rockin Roll! Neal could never leave well enough alone
@@stephenstone8480None of them a better vocalist than Steve Perry.
@@Joy-of-collecting That statement is so far beyond idiotic that it does not deserve a response...
Crazy. Perry was a gold mine for 10 year period.
I know some of the band members do not think so. However the critics and fans know Steve Perry is Journey.
He is a good part but he is NOT Journey. That was his problem he thought he was.
the journey cut off decades ago.
Where did time go? I remember the 80s as if it were yesterday. Wish I had appreciated it more.
Perry is an icon forever.he still takes my spirit fly,an i believe there is still lov.❤❤❤
this video is more about Steve's post-Journey career than it is about a brief reunion.
I saw Journey touring for their album Next opening for Boston. That’s still my favorite Journey album. I also liked Aynsley Dunbar on the drums for them back then.
My favorite really is the journey of the reunion. Last time I went very first time in concert in Oregon you're way back the best ❤ never forget your voice nobody cant beat You're 😂 sing ❤ like you your voice 🥰😍
The most incredible thing in my opinion about the history of Journey and Steve Perry, they never had a number one hit, really hard to believe knowing how successful they are. I believe Open Arms was their highest charting hit getting to the number 2 spot.
Yes it is incredible. As far as I'm concerned they're the best rock band of ALLTIME. Don't stop believing has been my favourite song for many years. And I'm glad it became a modern anthem in recent times..
They were up for a Grammy for When You Love A Woman. But they lost out to Surviver for Eye Of The Tiger at that time. I wish that they would have won. They deserved lots to number 1 Hits to me.
Ich hab Steve Perry in Concert in Germany gesehen vor43years steve the BEST VOICE FROM THE WORLD ever ever ❤️ BEST Wishes from GERMANY
Hi Brigette!😃
Perry leaving Journey isn't that hard to understand.
He had enough.
My favorite vocalist of all time.
PEACE AND LOVE ALWAYS TO STEVE PERRY 🎉🎉❤❤😂😂😂
Journey has thier place in Rock n Roll history 😊
Open Arms. My fave Steve song
Steve, we wish you'd rejoin JOURNEY again!
Y'all were, awesome together...
We support YOU, no matter what you do!
GOD BLESS 🙏

He went away to take care of his wife. She had cancer and he disappeared to take care of her and was done with music. He came back to keep a promise to his wife to not hide his talent and to get back out there and share his talent. I was THRILLED to death when he released his latest solo albums. I was so happy that he did not disappear for good.
Steve Perry was never married. His girlfriend, Kellie Nash died of cancer.
Are you sure it wasn't his mother instead of a wife? I remember hearing back in the day that he left his re-joining with Journey because he needed to spend time with his mom who was ill and/or dying. It's been a long time. I could be remembering it wrong.
@@marvinmartian8746 The final split came in 1998 when Steve was hiking in Hawaii and injured his hip. The band members tried to force Steve to get hip surgery and Steve wasn't having that. The band waited for him for awhile but decided to go on without him.
There is no one better than Steve Perry he is the best ever and his songs he sings now are solo he is getting better all the time l love all his new songs he is getting better and better i think a lot of Steve he is a wonderful and
Fantastic person I love his music and voice and he is still nice looking He is a wonderful man and I glad he started singing for all us to enjoy such a great person and thank you for all you great music love always❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥀🌟I will never go you❤❤❤❤
HE HAD A ROUGH CHILDHOOD, SO DID I. I HOWEVER TURNED TO WRITING BOOKS I HAVEN'T PUBLISHED YET DUE TO LACK OF MONEY. I AM 63 AND RETIRED. I LIVE IN MY SMALL TOWNS HOUSING AUTHORITY BECAUSE I DON'T MAKE MUCH ON SOCIAL SECURITY. WITH HIS VOICE IT IS NO WONDER HE WAS SO LOVED. I LOVED HIS VOICE AND ALWAYS WILL LOVE THE MAN.
The awaited real reunion of the 50th Anniversary of the band never came about for fans and Steve always welcomed the idea of going on stage with his old band mates but we all know now the loss of talking to make it happen really hurt the fans who love old Journey
All of that about Journey's origins & no mention of their best (IMHO) & most successful studio album, 'Escape', from '81.
Absolutely! Escape is stratospheric
He was the voice of Journey ??? Love his Voice ??? ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Steve is the real talent without his voice they would've been just another jam band from the 70s
❤I LOVE STEVE PERRY, WHETHER WITH THE BAND OR SOLO.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Steve is often seen in Studio City, North Hollywood and around west Los Angeles.
GREAT JOB ALL...THANX 4 MAKING Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO the music worldwide.
LOVE YOU ALL...!!!....MUCH LOVE.!!
My number one band and I’ve been to many concerts and never got to see Journey😢💔
Escape tour was my first concert in Dallas. Loverboy opened at Reunion Arena. I was in the 5th grade
AMAZING BAND !!!!!
Perry comes across as a really humble, decent human-being, ...who happens to be ultra talented.
The way Herbert described it, Fleischman was not kicked out because Fleischman had a poor attitude, but because Herbert liked Perry's voice a lot better.
NOTE: There is a mistake by the end of the video from the narrator. It is not (never was) the Chicago White Sox that Steve rooted for and lipsynced at tons of games, but the San Francisco Giants. We even see a picture of him in a Giants gear with people around him wearing Giants' gear. I'm surprised that the video narrator did not see this.
Actually he did sing for the White Sox in 2005 they had adopted DSB as their song and when the were in the World Series they asked him to come sing .When they won he was in the parade on a trolley car.
A poster of rock bands without Rush is mental.
Journey was good before Perry but you can feel the missing voice. Perry made Journey Great. The music industry, like the "entertainment industry" talked about by David Chappelle, was predatory and abusive. In truth artists are more important than the industry but the pay goes the other direction.
I love Journey, no matter what incarnation . Steve Perry was the voice. But he suffered from depression and self hatred. He was the magic man, but he became a recluse....but the band needed to go on.
That is too bad
Hard to believe someone so loved had bad depression. Just shows how no one can never really understand it
@@mrock828 True. Look at all the stars that were loved. Elvis, Kurt Cobain etc. Makes one wonder.
@@GorillaGrodd420 maybe Steve never thought he lived up to the legendary mythos around "Journey the larger than life entity"? It's impossible to even speculate.
@@mrock828 Was thinking the same exact thing.
1981 I was 22 saw Journey twice in Detroit! ❤❤
In 1994 on his CD singles for "You Better Wait" and "Missing You" he released 8 songs( 4 songs on each CD) from his unreleased "Against the Wall " album. The other four songs ("Against the Wall" , " When You're in Love(for the first time)", " Summer of Luv" , and "Once in a Lifetime, Girl" ) were released on the "Greatest Hits" Album in 1998. When his solo Albums were re-released and remastered in 2006, he released 2 more unreleased tracks ("Can't Stop" and "Friends of Mine" ) from his unreleased album as bonus tracks on "For the Love of Strange Medicine" album. The album wasn't released because the record company didn't hear any singles or like the musical direction of the 11 tracks he submitted.
He hasn't reunited with Journey because his voice can't handle the touring they would want to do if he returned.
Plus, Steve played drums when he was in high school. A lot of people don't know that.
Ironic, have you seen the version of Journey where the Drummer sings, he Sounds just like Steve. I'm wondering if that who was touring as Journey for the R&RHoF night.
@@streamofconsciousness5826 Are you referring to Journey drummer Dean Castronova?
very cool . everyone loved journey at some point. great job putting it in perspective
Hey, thanks for the love! I'm stoked that you found it cool and relatable. Journey is timeless, right? Keep rocking and stay tuned for more awesome content!
There's no mention of when Arnel Pineda became the new lead vocalist of Journey in December 2007.
Umm the post is about Steve Perry not Arnel Pineda....
@@karinmcdonald2533Um, it’s also about Journey - the band was mentioned many times. Some are wondering how the band continues going on tour today without Steve on vocals.
Amazing!
He's the reason I started singing
Journey happened in the 70s and 80s. They were great. Deal with it.
They are.
Journey's 1977 NEXT album with Gregg Rolie on vocals was just great for me personally-speaking! Ross Valory played great bass, Neal Schon is awesome on lead guitar! Songs like Spaceman, People, & Next are truly great songs!
Eh.. I think it is pretty average, much prefer the first two albums. My 00.02
Time for Gregg, Neal, Ross & Aynsly to hit the road...
@@patrickbrent642 that would be great! Give us more Next type music !
You definitely got that absolutely correct!
I always liked Gregg Rolie's voice.
A great voice of all time ❤
Steve Perry is a Legend 🤩
journey is the legend
Best voice in music !
You obviously don't know Chris Barnes.
Steve Perry is the best!
Good night sweet dreams and wake up proud of your accomplishments you are a great person sometimes maybe I will meet you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Journey's never had hits like they did when Perry was there he knew how to write music.
You are the best singer ever and I love you very much❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That was an Interesting note about Perry being with the band during a sound check in Long Beach in 1977. My dad said he saw Journey in 1977 at Long Beach Arena. They opened for Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Steve Perry didn't perform but it was interesting what was going on behind the scenes right at that time.
Perry does have a great voice which is rare even in today’s artists. Myles Kennedy has similar talent and keeps moving Rock in the right direction
❤hi my Steve! 😊
Please get it right... San Francisco Giants, not Chicago white six.
My apologies. I thought I read somewhere that it was the Chicago White Sox Anthem. I was wrong. Thank you for the information.
@@TuneintoHistory Mr. Perry is a big Giants fan, but when the Sox decided they wanted to use the song for their run for the 2005 world series, they asked him to come to a game and sign an agreement they could use it.
They won the game. When Perry said, it's been nice, see you later, they said where do you think you're going? Next thing he knew, he was decked out in Sox gear, on his way to Texas. They sorta kidnapped him, to use for a good luck charm, but they won. He got to do all the fun stuff along with the team, kept his eyes and ears open, and when he got back to the Giants, used what he learned to help the Giants win 3 times.
Nice bit of information. Thanks for the insight. Gotta love how people can shift from one team to another team because of money. 😂😂 Steve Perry is an awesome singer and I'm glad that he was able to use his music for the next generation of people.
@@TuneintoHistory BTW, when you were talking about Kellie Nash, you showed a picture of him with Martha Quinn taken in 2013 after he had melanoma surgery.
@@TuneintoHistory I don't think he did it just for the money.
Your making them much better than they were.
Please re-title this video! ‘ Steve Perry‘s life timeline’
For those of you not understanding what is meant in the video narration by the word "progressive" (nothing to do with politics), check out Journey's albums BEFORE Steve Perry came on board, especially the first album, which Progheads enjoy. It's just a totally different angle on music, so check it out if you want to expand your horizons.
❤❤❤❤❤
GLAD STEVE TOOK TIME TO LIVEEEEEERR
I think the three albums with Perry and Rollie are amazing.
He's called the VOICE fora reason
Everyone wants to play this as Steve's fault. He is the one in control of his life...not everyone else. He's been through some pain. So...he now has interest in possibly coming back. Do they want him or not? If not, then just move on without a bunch of mouthing off.
Thought this was Audit the Audit and was waiting for “Steve Perry gets an A+” at the end
I do not blame him. The music industry is brutal.
How long have you been a fan Jennifer?
when i first heard the voice over i thought i was in "Audit the Audit " LOL
Not sure why Steve Perry's solo album Street Talk (which was very successful) wasn't mentioned. Everybody loves "Oh Sherrie"
There is NO Journey without Steve Perry.,
The Narrator is The Voice…of Audit the Audit lol
The last time we saw Journey and Mr. Perry on a stage together, was for the 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony.
And since Mr. Perry said that he would come to the ceremony but wouldn't sing, they didn't perform a single song together!
Besides, he has always made perfectly clear that he will never return to Journey, not even for one song.
Journey's repertoire is vocally demanding.
But Mr. Perry is 75 now and his voice has changed, of course (who can remain young and at their best forever?!)
It's still beautiful, but it doesn't sound anymore the way it used to in the 80's or even in the 90's.
So there will never be a "disastrous return of Steve Perry" because there's simply no possibility that this could ever happen.
Mr. Perry is way too intelligent to make such a mistake.
Steve Perry won my heart ❤ LOL, Faith
It’s not click bait. The title is pretty clear that it’s a reunion that already occurred and didn’t work out. It says it was “bittersweet” and “disastrous”. How could it be bittersweet and disastrous if it hadn’t even occurred yet. I don’t know how anybody could read that and think it’s a current reunion.
Honestly the narrator is irritating to me. I have study music, drumming and music history for a half century. It is good to see others callout stuff like this. Rock on!
What a lame clickbait headline!! What "disastrous return?" This is nothing more than a bio about Steve Perry. He came and went in Journey a few times, but nothing in this story is disastrous or even remotely dramatic.
At 4.42 you say he stepped away from the music industry for 7 years. Yet the time line you mention between him last performing with Journey 1991 and his 2nd solo album 1994 is clearly not 7 years.
Not Chicago White Sox. It was the San Francisco Giants!
🌹🌹
I think there should be a statue of him love always Judi
