So it's been said a number of times that Journey's first Grammy nomination was WYLAW. Several times on this board I had said I could have sworn there was mention of a previous Grammy nomination on the back of the Frontiers and Beyond video back cover. That video has been locked away in a box at my moms for many years and searches on the net about previous Grammy nominations always turned up zilch. I started to think I was crazy. But I went searching again tonight and found this:

It mentions a Grammy nomination and I'm curious what that was. Anyone know and anyone know why they say WYLAW was their first?

Journey had already garnered seven platinum albums and a coveted Grammy Award nomination, sold-out concert tours and had the honor of being named "Group of the Year" in the 1983 national Gallup Poll to attest to the band's creative versatility.

Could this be it?

I remember asking this question when F&B was released on DVD. No one really had the answer but the speculation was that it was a technical Award Nomination for Nocturnal/Journey's touring lighting systems...

1982. Journey was nominated for Best Engineered Recording for Escape lyrics. Steely Dan won for Gaucho lyrics.
