Description

Relive the Golden Era of Arena Rock!

Up for auction is an authentic, vintage concert ticket stub from Journey’s "Departure" Tour on April 18, 1980, at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum.

This was Steve Perry at his absolute vocal peak. This specific show is a "must-have" for historians because the opening act was The Babys. This tour is famously where Journey first met their future keyboardist and "Don't Stop Believin'" songwriter, Jonathan Cain. This is also one of the final tours featuring founding member Gregg Rolie.

Highlights of this Piece:

• Historic Lineup: Features the classic Perry/Schon/Rolie/Valory/Smith roster.

• Era-Specific: Features the iconic "Winged Scarab" imagery used during the Departure album cycle.

• Condition: [Insert Condition here, e.g., Clean tear, no staple holes, slight fading on the date but fully legible].

This is a physical piece of music history from the night Biloxi rocked to "Any Way You Want It" and "Wheel in the Sky."
