Journey's Long Road: From Santana to Space Rock
Tom Vickers, Rolling Stone, 15 January 1976
SAN FRANCISCO — A few years after acid rock dried up in the Bay Area, the talk turned to the music of the Mission district , the blues-based barrio rock made popular by Santana.

Now Journey, a Santana offshoot fusing the Mission and the Haight, has established itself as one of the bright new bands of San Francisco in the Seventies.
