History shall be made on March 14, 2009 at 8:00 p.m. at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds as legendary group Journey marks their grand entrance to the music world in the Philippines. Filipino vocalist Arnel Pineda leads the band as they perform for the concert dubbed as An Evening with Journey.
This marks the second leg of the Revelation tour beginning in Asia and Southeastern Asia. Aside from performing in the Philipipnes, the legendary rock band will also be seen in Japan, China, and Hawaii. This tour is the first time that Journey will return to Japan since 1998. This event is also the first time that Journey will perform in the Philippines and China. This May, the iconic rock band will have shows in the United States.
Thanks to Mossimo Music, Music Management International and co-presentors Coors Light, Smart, SM Mall of Asia, SM Supermalls, Ask PLDT 101-811 and PCSO, Filipinos will witness the world-class performance that the band has done around the world. Thousands of spectators will get the chance to hear live the incredible voice of Arnel Pineda as he gives life to the songs pupularized by the American rock band.
Journey members Neal Schon, Ross Valorie, Jonathan Cain, Dean Castronovo, and their crew arrived in Manila last March 1 and they were welcomed by their frontman.
Some may call it a fairytale for Arnel Pineda, some may see it as a streak of luck but witnessing the unbelievable talent that he exudes will further emphasize his rightful spot in the group's legendary roster. As they released hit after hit from the band's latest best-selling 2 CD album, Revelation under MCA Music, Journey indeed marked their spot once again in the music scene, reliving their classics and creating new anthems for both young and old.
The first disc of the Revelation album contains new songs from the legendary band including their most recent hit single, "After All these Years." Disc two features Journey's long line of classic hits including, "Open Arms," "Don't Stop Believing," "Anyway You Want It" and "Faithfully." These songs have passed the test of time as they still became chart-toppers and crowd favorites even after being released decades ago. All songs in Revelation are recorded with Arnel Pineda on vocals. Though comparisons are inevitable, Arnel Pineda vows to honor Journey's legacy to the music world. In a recent interview, the singer who hails from Sampaloc, Manila states, "...there's only one Steve Perry in this world...breathing new life to Journey's legendary sound means "a lot of hard work on my part."
Don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to witness how homegrown Filipino talent merges with a world-class legendary rock group. An Evening with Journey is presented by Mossimo Music and Music Management International, with co-presentors Coors Light, Smart, SM Mall of Asia, SM Supermalls, Ask PLDT 101-811 and PCSO.
