On June 15th, after a period of absence due to her ongoing cancer battle, the Princess of Wales made a graceful return to public life. She joined the Royal Family in celebrating the King’s official birthday. Catherine dazzled in an elegant white ensemble, drawing admiration for her poise and charm. Despite the joy of seeing her, many observers and online commenters expressed concern, voicing similar worries about her health.
Kate beamed with grace, waving to the crowds as she and her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, were greeted with cheers from the spectators along The Mall. They departed Buckingham Palace in a carriage procession, making their way to the Trooping the Colour ceremony.
Admirers lauded the Princess of Wales for her resilience and celebrated her remarkable presence. However, most opinions focused on her physique and her look divided opinions. Many noticed that she seemed ’’more regal by the minute’’. Someone even commented, ’’I’ve never seen anyone look that well after chemo!’’
That said, others thought that the Princess ’’looks miserable,’’ and one person even wrote, ’’One can see the sadness in her eyes and the eyes of her children…’’
We are thrilled to see the Princess of Wales once more and send her our best wishes for health and happiness. The past few months have surely been tough for her. On a brighter note, Prince William and Kate recently marked their 13th anniversary with joy, sharing a never-before-seen photo on Instagram. You can view it here.
During the live performance of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” in 1981, Steve Perry’s vocals were truly phenomenal
In 1981, Steve Perry of Journey delivered a live performance of “Don’t Stop Believin’” that cemented his reputation as one of the greatest singers in history. Earlier that year, the song had become a worldwide sensation. During a 1981 concert in Houston, Texas, the band showcased their exceptional talent on this now iconic track.
Perry’s vocal delivery on this song is strikingly smooth and almost ethereal, capturing the magnetic presence of a rock star that electrifies the audience. Observers often comment that Perry’s live performance surpasses his studio recordings in its raw intensity and finesse. For an even better experience, you can watch an HD remaster of Journey’s 1981 Houston performance of “Don’t Stop Believin’” on their official YouTube channel.
With 274 million views, this live performance is one of Journey’s most popular videos, ranking third overall on their YouTube channel and number one among their live recordings. The footage comes from their Escape Tour, which supported their seventh studio album, Escape.
Journey played two shows in Houston on November 5 and 6, 1981, but it remains unclear which night “Don’t Stop Believin’” was recorded. The band was clearly in top form during the Escape tour, as evidenced by the popularity of “Who’s Crying Now”, which was also recorded in Houston and was the second most viewed live performance on their YouTube channel.
Fans praised the performance with comments like “No auto-tune, no backing tracks, just exceptional musicianship” and “Steve Perry sings like he’s effortlessly passing a test without studying”. The reaction underscores the awe and admiration for Journey’s live rendition of “Don’t Stop Believin’” in Houston.
The song reached top ten status both in the US and internationally, eventually becoming Journey’s most consistent hit, with 18 platinum awards in the US.
