- Journey has had six Top 10 singles on the Billboard chart and eight Top 10 albums on the Billboard 200, including the No. 1 album 'Escape'.
Journey is preparing to begin the final stretch of a farewell tour that starts in Los Angeles in September and ends in San Francisco in November. The San Francisco show would close out a run of more than 100 concerts this year.
Neal Schon said the final stop is likely to carry extra emotion because the band’s history began in San Francisco. He said he expects the audience there to be especially energetic.
The tour will continue through a long list of U.S. cities, including Phoenix, Seattle, Chicago, Atlanta, Nashville, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston, Cleveland, Denver and Las Vegas. Journey’s performances have often run more than two hours and mix well-known hits with deeper album tracks.
The band’s catalog includes six Top 10 Billboard singles and eight Top 10 albums on the Billboard 200. Among its best-known songs are 'Open Arms,' 'Who’s Crying Now' and 'Don’t Stop Believin’,' which Schon wrote with Jonathan Cain and then-lead singer Steve Perry.
Journey为可能是乐队最后一次共同巡演的收官阶段做准备
Journey正在为告别巡演的最后阶段做准备，这一阶段将于9月在洛杉矶开始，并于11月在旧金山结束。旧金山的演出将为该乐队今年超过100场演出的行程收尾。
Neal Schon表示，最后一站之所以更具情感分量，是因为乐队最初就是在旧金山起步。他说，预计当地观众会非常热情。
这次巡演还将继续前往多个美国城市，包括凤凰城、西雅图、芝加哥、亚特兰大、纳什维尔、巴尔的摩、费城、底特律、波士顿、克利夫兰、丹佛和拉斯维加斯。Journey的演出通常持续两小时以上，并会在经典热门歌曲之外加入一些专辑深度曲目。
这支乐队的作品包括6首进入公告牌单曲榜前十的歌曲，以及8张进入Billboard 200前十的专辑。其代表作包括《Open Arms》《Who’s Crying Now》和《Don’t Stop Believin’》，后者由Schon与Jonathan Cain和当时的主唱Steve Perry共同创作。
