Paying tribute to one of the greatest bands of all time: Journey! Celebrating over 18 years together, DEPARTURE is the most respected Journey tribute band in the nation and focus on the 70’s and 80’s when Journey ruled the radio!!
Time Machine to Our Youth
During the ascent of Journey in the late 70s and into the 80s, my wife and I were in a period of jobs, kids, houses and all the stuff making up our life at the time. Journey was background noise on the radio and we could not have told you we knew one song they recorded. Last night 2-20 at the Griffin Opera House you made Journey come alive with a fabulous performance. The fans who know you and the words which they all know lit the venue up in a high energy fashion that was great to be a part of. The best compliment I can give you is the, for those of us in our late 70s, you are more than a tribute band, you’re a time machine to our youth. Thanks and the best to you all. ps it goes without saying you are all fabulous musicians.
Phenomenal
Departure puts heart and honor in their performance. I could close my eyes and ( no, not go to sleep) experience the music just like I did when I first heard it years ago. You leave their concert with your soul touched, feeling the good vibes from the past and wanting more. Truly a tribute.
Amazing
My wife and I were expecting mediocrity, boy were we wrong! It felt like we were back in the 80’s with the original journey.
