List of Journey band members

Formed in February 1973 as the Golden Gate Rhythm Section, the group was renamed Journey in the summer and originally included keyboardist and vocalist Gregg Rolie, lead guitarist Neal Schon, rhythm guitarist George Tickner, bassist Ross Valory and drummer Prairie Prince.

[1] Early the next year, Prince left to rejoin his previous group the Tubes, with former John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers and Frank Zappa drummer Aynsley Dunbar taking his place on February 1, 1974.

[2] Shortly after the release of the band's self-titled debut album in 1975, Tickner left Journey to pursue a career in medicine.

[14] In later reports, Smith recalled that the band's changing approach to writing and recording had alienated him and Valory, which led to their departures.

[15] Smith performed drums on three tracks with session bassist Bob Glaub, before the two were replaced for the rest of the album by Larrie Londin and Randy Jackson, respectively.

[18] The singer cited worsening relations with Schon, as well as the illness and eventual death of his mother during the album's recording, as reasons for his departure.

[20] On November 3, 1991, Steve Perry, Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain reunited for a one-off performance at a benefit concert for promoter Bill Graham, who had died a week earlier.

[22] After the release of the album, Trial by Fire, Journey planned to tour before Perry suffered an injury in a hiking accident; he refused to undergo surgery, which ultimately led to his dismissal from the group.

[26] Shortly after the start of a tour supporting Def Leppard in June 2006, Augeri was forced to leave temporarily due to an "acute throat condition", with Talisman and former Yngwie Malmsteen vocalist Jeff Scott Soto taking his place.

[37] Two months later, the group announced the return of former bassist Randy Jackson and one-time drummer Narada Michael Walden, as well as second keyboardist Jason Derlatka.
