Journey Band Manila Concert at Mall of Asia

Finally Journey played my best pick song of the Revelation Cd!
"Turn Down The World Tonight"! Also Played is "What I needed, Where Did I Loose Your Love" off the new album which were not played live in their US or European shows. I've been sorting through all the uploads on youtube.com It was great to hear those other greatest hits played with a different twist! Neal is an architech with the guitar! Check them out now as there is a lot of new videos!

Also noted on the video threads that the concert might be released on DVD so will surely be looking forward to that. Tell me Journey 'ans what you think of the show and and the songs that was played that was not been played before.

Journey members arrived in Manila on March 1, 2009 and was greeted by front man Arnel Pineda!

Journey members Neal Schon, Ross Valorie, Jonathan Cain, Dean Castronovo, and their crew arrived in Manila, Philippines on March 1, 2009 and was greeted by native frontman Arnel Pineda!

Lead guitarist Neal Schon, who discovered Pineda via video-sharing Web site YouTube, said he is “very excited” about their upcoming concert, which is set to be held on March 14.

Pineda said his band mates were surprised that he was at the airport to personally welcome them.

“They never thought na pupunta ako dito to greet them. Na-sorpresa sila,” he said.

Pineda said he and his band mates are scheduled to practice in the Philippines before flying to Japan where their Asian tour will kick off.

Journey begins their second leg of the "Revelation" tour beginning in Asia and Southeastern Asia. (Starting with Japan, the Philippines, China, and with a few dates in Hawaii). This will be their first time returning back to Japan since 1998 and first time performing in the Philippines and China. In May, the band has US shows scheduled as well. As dates continue to come in, we will keep you posted.

I just wish that they add Australia on their schedule as I know a lot of our fellow Pinoys and Aussies would love to see them also. (The band Eagles played in Australia on their Reunion Part II tour.)

Arnel Pineda to tie the knot next year, February '09!

Only a few more weeks and our hero Arnel will tie the knot with his long time girlfriend of 5 years Cherry. Also on the horizon is the most anticipated Asian tour that is to commence in April 2009. I was wondering if one of the Journey band members would be invited in as "Ninongs" Godfathers on the upcoming wedding? I wouldn't be surprised if Neal Schon is the one or any one of the Journey members. Either way, Godfathers' or not, I have reason to believe that Arnel would extend the invitation for the band members to be present at the wedding. It would be interesting. Let's get our fingers crossed that our J'boys would finally see our homeland Philippines to take in our culture and find and discover our beautiful homeland.

Please do leave your comments and your take on this topic!

Rock On Journey fans!
