Journey was founded in San Francisco in 1973 by Schon, the only remaining original band member, who was a former band member of Santana. Original founding member Gregg Rolie was also a former Santana musician, while former Steve Miller Band member Ross Valory and former Frumious Bandersnatch guitarist George Tickner rounded out the original lineup.

But the Journey era most people think of when they think of Journey began in the late 1970s, after the group changed its style to more popular American rock and added Steve Perry as lead vocalist. Under this new formation, Journey released “Infinity” in January 1978, the first of several megahit albums going into the 1980s.

Perry, arguably the most famous member of the band, served as frontman from 1977 to 1987 and then again from 1995 to 1998. Journey as a band, in various formations, has been active since 1995 — a long stint that the “Final Frontier” Tour is expected to bring to a close.
