@@billfly2186 I don't think they had the ability to use auto tune technology in Live performances in 1981. They started using auto tune more in the mid 90s. There were harmonizers back in the 70's but the early units sounded very robotic. I don't think they were used for vocals as much as instrumental like guitar. I remember trying out an Eventide harmonizer rack unit in the mid 80s, only used it for guitar harmony's live. In post productions they could probably have done some smudging vocals with speed, but they were using multi track tape, not digital recording like they do now since Pro Tools era. Also, I have heard these guys LIVE many times. They were pretty pitch perfect, so much so, that I left the shows mind blown.

Great reaction video, thank you very much. I was so fortunate that I got to grow up listening to my favourite rock band Journey, especially with Steve Perry as lead singer. They're a phenomenal, legengary group, and Steve's voice is so pure, beautiful and emotional. I think you'd really enjoying watching and reacting to Mother, Father, which is also from the same 1981 Live in Houston concert. I heard it was the most difficult song that he ever sang, and it's about a broken home and the strength of the family. As well, would you please react to their music video for Faithfully, which is a beautiful power ballad, and the music video for Lovin', Touchin,' Squeezin', in which you can hear a Sam Cooke influence in Steve's vocals.

He was warned it may be an emotional experience when he took it on, and still was overcome. He actually burst into tears at times watching his younger self perform. He had never actually watched the special before. He only remembered how restrained they had to be that night. "Don't move around too much, they're rolling tape, don't ad-lib too much, tape is rolling," they were subdued that night, always aware of the film crew. Remastering this MTV special to DVD was a gift to us, but a shadow of a typical concert. I have a CD only copy to play in the car.

This was 1981. There was no auto-tune, synchronizing background vocals perfectly with live instruments was impossible. Yes, this concert was remastered, but remastering fixed all the hisses, pops, and such from the old analog tapes. They didn't need to fix the actual vocals and instrumentation (I have the original concert on VHS from the broadcast). Journey was just a very tight, very talented band. And you're wrong. This doesn't sound "exactly like the album version". It is vastly different, which is another reason why you know it's live. Steve never sang a song the same way twice. Neal never played a solo the exact same way twice. Yes, Journey has plenty of hard songs: "Separate Ways", "Be Good To Yourself", "Stone In Love", "Ask The Lonely", "Any Way You Want It", "Line Of Fire", "Where Were You", "La Do Da", "Keep On Runnin'", "Dead Or Alive", "Escape", "Chain Reaction", "Edge Of The Blade", "Let It Rock You" (a demo)", "Can't Tame The Lion", "One More"... and plenty more after Perry left.
