 Journey's Gregg Rolie and Neal Schon on Innerview

Hosted by Jim Ladd

COMING THURSDAY AUGUST 22, 2024

 This week's Journey video is delayed;

I am working on the Jim Ladd Innerview of Gregg Rolie and Neal Schon in 1978. This involves a lot of editing and searching for pictures from 1978 which there are very few without the whole band. I'm working hard but not fast enough. This may take another 2 weeks or so I'm hoping to have it done this month, July 2024. Until then;

JOURNEY On!

Neal Schon of Journey puts together a different kind of Journey Concert

Neal Schon puts together Gregg Rolie, Dean Castronovo, Marco Mendoza, and John Varn to create a special kind of Journey show! They go back deep into Journey's old catalogue as well as Journey's biggest hits. There's also a couple of Santana hits thrown in there too! It's a fantastic concert for anyone to enjoy!

Happy Birthday Departure

 Departure turns 42 years old today, March 23.

Departure was released on March 23, 1980 by Columbia Records. The album made it to #8 on the Billboard charts.

There seems to be some confusion over the release date. The internet is showing February 29th as the release date but the most reliable sources, "Ultimate Classic Rock" and "Disccogs" has it as March 23. Wikipedia is wrong.

Jelly Roll Sweetie

 Journey's "Homemade Love" is talked about in this mini-Interview / Music Video. Steve Perry and Gregg Rolie of Journey were guests on Jim Ladd's "Innerview" series in 1980. Steve and Gregg explain the meaning of the lyrics,  "Jelly Roll Sweetie" from the song "Homemade Love".

I decided that a Journey Channel is just going to have to have some Journey music, it doesn't make sense otherwise. This video also includes a Music Video of "Homemade Love" which is an excerpt of Journey live at Nakano Sun-plaza In Tokyo, Japan on 10-13-1980.

Wheel In The Sky goes to Journey's Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

I take a Journey into Hollywood to find the Star. Journey received a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and went to see it, to clean it, to be it. You'll see the whole Journey, from the driving to the Star to walking to the Star, to finding the Star, to cleaning the Star, to driving home from the Star.

One of the hottest summer days in 2016. Footage was lost, but I was able to cobble together a video of the trip!

Come check out the Wheel In The Sky YouTube channel!  Click below to watch the video!

The Final Journey Force Newsletter, January 1994 - Steve Perry Back In The Groove

This is the final edition of the Journey Force Newsletter. This was the last word on Journey. This newsletter made it clear to all the fan club members that all the rumors have been true, Journey was truly over. Starting in 1978, the Journey Fan Club has been answering the fans' questions, sending out newsletters, stickers, photos, and membership cards. This 1994 edition of the Journey Force Newsletter was the saddest newsletter of them all.

Steve Perry was hard at work at the time on his forthcoming album, For The Love Of Strange Medicine. Steve does an interview with Journey Force staff member, Lora.

This edition is here in it's full. There are eight fantastic pages full of information, photos and memories. You'll find a reunion photo of the original members of Journey.

Thank you JOURNEY;
Walter "Herbie" Herbert
Gregg Rolie
Neal Schon
George Tickner
Ross Valory
Aynsley Dunbar

"You'll never find a group of people like Journey fans. there is such a devotion there"

Castles Burning, The Herbie Herbert Interview with Matthew Carty 2001

In 2001 Matt Carty interviewed Walter J. (Herbie) Herbert, Journey's Manager from 1973-1993.

Herbie Herbert was the mastermind behind it all. He got Neal Schon, Gregg Rolie, and Ross Valory together to create a band that would catapult into superstardom and fizzle out in a flash. He came up with the album names and artwork.

This is the very hard to find interview from 2001 called "Castles Burning". He tells it like he saw it, and felt it.
