Meanwhile, Journey, an American rock band formed in San Francisco in 1973 by former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch, enjoyed their strongest commercial success between 1978 and 1987 releasing a series of hit songs, including 1981’s Don’t Stop Believin; in 2009, becoming the top-selling catalog track in iTunes history.

DSB, America’s Favorite Tribute to Journey, was the first tribute band to be voted “World’s Greatest” and helped launch the AXS cable network, “World’s Greatest Tribute Bands” as voted by their fans. In addition, The PettyBreakers were inducted into this rather “Hall of Fame” for tribute bands in 2014.
