Las raíces de Journey se encuentran en San Francisco, donde en 1971 el manager de Santana, Walter "Herbie" Herbert, decidió ensamblar una banda de músicos, originalmente llamada The Golden Gate Rhythm Section. Insatisfecho con la dirección musical que buscaba Santana, el tecladista/vocalista Gregg Rolie y el guitarrista Neal Schon dejaron la banda en 1972. Prairie Prince de The Tubes, el bajista Ross Valory de Frumious Bandersnatch, y el guitarrista rítmico George Tickner fueron añadidos al nuevo proyecto.
