Journey Information

Live was where Journey began and where its reputation was made. Its debut concert, on New Years Eve 1973 at hometown San Francisco’s Winterland, introduced its first incarnation: Schon (who had joined Santana at the tender age of 15 after turning down Eric Clapton), Valory (who played with Steve Miller), keyboardist / singer Gregg Rolie (one of the founding members of Santana), Tichner and drummer Prairie Prince. Soon after, Price left to join The Tubes and Ansley Dunbar(David Bowie, John Mayall, Frank Zappa) took his seat. Featuring fiery progressive rock instrumental epics, which showcased the band’s superb musicianship, Journey, and its 1975 self-titled album, received critical acclaim and the group went immediately back on the road. Disliking the latter, Tichner exited.

But while Journey was a "cult" favorite, and moving towards more concise songs with more vocals on two subsequent albums, Look Into The Future (1976) and Next (1977), the band needed a powerhouse lead singer and lyricist. At first the answer was Robert Fleischman, who toured with Journey in 1977 as it opened for Emerson, Lake and Plamer.

With an upfront singer and new songs, suddenly Journey had taken a turn in an entirely new musical direction, to mainstream rock. Later that same year, Perry replaced Fleischman, and Journey’s direction turned upward. Boosted by a nine month touring schedule which established Journey as a major attraction headlining arena concerts on bills with the likes of Van Halen and Montrose, and with FM radio favorites such as "Wheel In The Sky", and "Lights," Infinity (1978), produced by Roy Thomas Baker (then know for his work with Queen), became Journey’s first top 40 album (#21) and first gold-then-platinum record (currently triple platinum). The band continued to develop when Dunbar departed to join Jefferson Starship and Journey welcomed Steve Smith, the drummer from Montrose, with a penchant for jazz and fusion, who they heard each night on the final leg of the "Infinity" tour.

Journey didn’t miss a beat. Evolution (1979) matched the triumphs of Infinity – charting at #20 and certified triple platinum – plus added Journey’s first top 20 single, "Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’ " (#16). One of the top rock bands in the country, Journey was now headlining stadium shows without having yet scored a top 10 album or single, but not for long. After the release of In the Beginning (1979), a complication of material from its first three albums, and the very unconventional 1980 soundtrack to Dream After Dream, originally released only in Japan, Departure (1980) became the bands first top 10 (#8) and its next triple platinum album. As touring continued, the double live set Captured was also released that year, also went top 10 (#9) and is now double platinum. But Rolie had enough of the road. Prior to leaving, he found his replacement; Cain played in The Babys, the band opening for Journey on the "Departure" tour.

Cain’s songwriting skills, and their shared love of R&B, was a catalyst for Schon and Perry. The result, Escape (1981), rocketed to #1, remaining on the charts for nearly three years, is nine times platinum, and spawned three top 10 singles: "Open Arms" (#21), "Who’s Crying Now" (#4) and "Don’t stop Believing" (#9).

The follow-up, Frontiers (1983), went to #2, six times platinum, and spawned the #8 hit "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)." Success brought outside projects for each members of the group but also creative differences. Valory left in 1984 before previously recorded "Only The Young," from the 1985 Vision Quest soundtrack album, charted at #9. Smith too had essentially exited when Schon, Cain and Perry continued as Journey for the 1986’s double platinum, #4 – charting Raised On Radio which boasted another #9 hit, "Be Good To Yourself." Attesting to the band’s enormous popularity, its 1988 Greatest Hits album reached #8 and is nine times platinum.

Journey did not break up, but did go on hiatus. "The ‘80’s were a decade of abuse and excess," says Cain. "After a while, you have nothing to say, you’re just repeating yourself. Everybody needed to sit back and recharge." Though there was a 1992 boxed set, Time 3, it would be 12 years between new songs for the Journey of Perry, Schon, Cain, Smith and Valory. When they re-emerged, Trial By Fire (1996) hit #3, platinum and earned the band’s first Grammy nomination—"When You Love A Woman" for Best Pop Performance by a Duo of Group with Vocal. Unfortunately, any tour was impossible due to Perry’s continued health problems. But playing live is like food and water for Journey, it’s where its heart and soul is fed. (In 1998, live performances from 1981 and 1983 were collected on Greatest Hits Live.)
