A Fantastic magazine with lots of pictures and information! The magazine is about 1/8 inch think and takes you on a full tour of the band's history. This magazine takes you from the beginnings of the band in the early 1970's through their entire story and line-up changes. Everything you need to know about how we got to where we are! You might need to buy 2 of these so you can cut the pictures out of one of them.

Journey at the Los Angeles Forum 1983

 Journey played at the Los Angles Forum for 5 days in 1983! It was August 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th!


Sold Out all 5 days!! 


I share my T-shirt from the event with you now...


I went to the concert for all five days. I always thought it was 5 nights in a row, but this shows that there was a break on August 8th. This was the last time that I saw Steve Perry in concert. (The next time was in person, but that's for another day). I took 5 different friends to the concert. This concert was a huge deal in 1983. I did have some trouble finding people to go with me as my friends were all into new wave, certainly not Journey. Then everyone wanted to go once they played the first night. I was turning people away by the last night.


Here's a copy of my tickets for the first night. $15.00 was a lot of money in 1983, especially for a 20 year old.

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.

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
Robert Fleischman
Steve Smith
Jonathan Cain

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