He received writing or co-writing credits on "Of a Lifetime," "Topaz" and "Mystery Mountain" off their 1975 debut, "You're on Your Own" and "I'm Gonna Leave You" off the Look Into the Future album and "Nickel and Dime" off of Next.Īfter leaving the band, Tickner pursued a career in medicine, attending Stanford Medical School on a full scholarship. Tickner's tenure was brief, as he left the band after the release of their debut album allowing Schon to take on all guitar duties, but his imprint on the band would actually be felt in the group's first three records. It was during 1973 that Tickner and Valory would join Santana's Neal Schon and Gregg Rolie and The Tubes' Prairie Prince in the initial Journey lineup, playing their first public performance at the Winterland Ballroom on New Year's Eve 1973. In 1973, he was also played as part of the band on a Jerry Garcia / Mel Saunders collaborative project. Prior to Journey, Tickner performed with Faun on their 1972 self-titled set and was part of the band Frumious Bandersnatch that also included future Journey bassist Ross Valory.
