Journey concert chronology

The Frontiers Tour was a concert tour by Journey. It was in support of their new album Frontiers. It is to date the band's most successful tour ever. It was also the last tour with bassist Ross Valory until 1998, and drummer Steve Smith until 2016; they would later return in 1996 for Journey's comeback album Trial By Fire.

Bryan Adams served as the opening act for the tour, supporting his breakthrough album, Cuts Like a Knife; during the tour, he penned "Heaven", which was heavily influenced by Journey's "Faithfully."

In a review for the Dallas show, a journalist wrote for the local Fort Worth Star-Telegram:

Drawing card that he is, Perry isn't the group's only talent. Neal Schon, lead guitarist and a hard-driving singer in his own right... and keyboardist Jonathan Cain's instrumental talents were displayed in a spectacular solo intro to 'Rubicon'. Drummer Steve Smith and bass guitarist Ross Valory also had their moments to shine.[1]

Personnel

  • Steve Perry – lead vocals
