Steve Perry says Van Halen blew Journey off the stage the first time the two bands toured together.  In an interview with Ultimate Classic Rock, Perry remembered bringing VH on tour in 1978, saying “They cleaned our clock plenty of times and woke us the **** up pretty quick.” Perry said Van Halen was “on fire”, calling it “the most musical relentlessness that I’d ever seen”.
