Merry Christmas from Herbie Herbert and Journey 1983 Journey Force Christmas Card

Journey was as big as they ever got in 1983! They were the biggest band in America with sold-out shows all across the World! It looked like nothing could stop them, they were getting bigger and bigger, selling more and more records. Journey was constantly on television talk shows as well ad radio shows and interviews.

Between the years of 1981 and 1983, the three albums released, "Captured", "Escape", and "Frontiers" were their three biggest selling albums to date. It's no wonder that after these three years of grueling hard work that they would want to take a break. Who knows what could have been accomplished by 1985 had everything kept on track. They might have actually reached "Freedom". That's the name that was supposed to be the next album set for release in 1985. It probably would have meant Freedom from Columbia Records, Freedom to be on their own, Freedom to do whatever they wanted. 


This is the last of the original Christmas Cards sent to Journey Force members. I remember receiving this, the third year in a row. In a way, it had become expected by now and not quite as exciting. It's still a great treat to receive a Card every year from The Journey Force. This one shows what the stage show looked like during the "Frontiers Tour"...

Merry Christmas from Herbie Herbert and Journey 1982 Journey Force Christmas Card

Journey was everywhere by 1982! This was the first year since 1975 that Journey did not release an album. They couldn't, there wasn't any time.

The Escape album kept releasing singles into 1982. The Escape Tour was extended and by 1982, they were playing huge arenas and had video projection so anyone in the audience could see what was happening.


Again, It was a surprise and a delight to receive another Christmas Card from Journey! Although there is no picture of the band, there is a great representation ion what a show is like when way in the back. It sure looks like an exciting night!

The Journey Force says Merry Christmas from Westwood One

August seems like a strange time to be saying Merry Christmas. It's actually not too far away.

This Post Card was sent out to all Journey Force Members for Christmas 1983 from Westwood One. Apparently Westwood One used the Journey Force Mailing List for this. The Card lists all the bands that Westwood One had worked with, Journey being one of them.


Westwood One is a company that producesd many interviews and concert radio shows of Journey between 1976 - 2011. I have many of these hosted by Mary Turner and Uncle Joe Benson including "Off The Record with Mary Turner or Joe Benson". They also produced a show called "Randy Jackson's Hit List and The Dr. Demento Show.

Journey and Steve Perry Christmas Card from 1984

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM WHEEL IN THE SKY


This is the Christmas Card that The Steve Perry Information Network sent out for Christmas 1984;


Apparently He's again in the Studio working on an album for a 2016 release.
What the World really wants for Christmas is a reunion with his old band, Journey.
