Journey: Live In Manila
Available to purchase on all formats September 9th 2016
This film captures Journey’s concert at the SM Mall Of Asia in Manila, Phillipines on March 14th, 2009. It marked the return to his hometown of the band’s then newly arrived singer and frontman Arnel Pineda. Journey delivered an inspired performance in front of an adoring crowd as they played a set of greatest hits interspersed with tracks from their 2008 album “Revelation”. This is a must-have for any Journey fan.

Arnel was 41 at the time of this concert. Incredible.
Even after all these years, Arnel does not get the credit he deserves for the incredible frontman he is.
Hear Hear! Going on 15 years as their front man now. It's a crying shame. Arnel is amazing and resurrected Journey. I just don't get it either.
same here. he is so amazing i love it.
Perry shadow Arnel is not shinning
Ok
@@SomewhereinBGC music is an art each artist has his own rendition if that is your conclusion then you do not know how to appreciate art! You are basing it on race not on God given talent!
It's crazy how good that Arnel's vocals are in concert --- NO AUTO TUNE --- the man is almost as legendary as the Mighty Perry!
Haha No auto tune for us Filipinos. We grew up hearing Natural Voices whether original or imitation. What you see is what you'll hear.
I'd like to visit your country some day :)@@antonioaaronosabel9574
no.
Holy fuck, from an outsider's perspective on Journey, this dude's absolutely fucking killing it. That voice was born to rock.
I grew up hearing Journey on the radio all the time. Never bought an album, and never considered myself a fan. But agree wholeheartedly with you here.
RIGHT
Man these guys still got it 40 years later I know people always compare Arnel and Perry but one thing that is not up for debate is both r ultra talented guys 👏 bravo!!
I've been a Steve Perry fan since 1981 and I admit that Arnel gets DANGEROUSLY close to how Perry's live vocals sounded in the early 80's and that is AMAZING stuff
His voice is unmatchable
His vocals here are freaking spectacular.
Cuz he was not toast here... Constant touring wear your voice
When he says ",if you must go"...yeah, holy fuck
Ito ung pinaka astig niang concert...tlgang ang boses nia rito ayyy sobrang lkas ang ganda...pari galaw nia Sobrang ....astig... Fan ako ng journey day 1 plng ni arnel...mgnda pdin nmn boses nia ngaun pero iba na ang galaw nia ...isang buwan nlng 55 na xa...advance hpy brtday idol ingat
Not Steve Perry’s though
@@Chandlersaalf but of course hey just an imitator can't compare him with the original ....never ever in 10,000 years
Arnel is practically a national hero in the Philippines. My daughter's two best friends from college are Filipina. They day after I saw Journey live in 2011, I was on phone with my daughter telling her about the concert. She asked me how the new lead singer was, and in the background I heard her roommate asking excitedly "Are you talking about the guy from Journey?" Filipinos have a very strong sense of National pride, and they all adore their countrymen who become famous.
Yes we are indeed...and thank you for your good words madam...❤️
wait, what? since when. i know were proud of him but i dont think its that much. cmonnn...
@@mcChsr bcoz you are more into kpop than this kind of music,
@@kazumi1315 you have no idea lol i can play journey songs and 80s if you may. dont get me wrong, im not bashing arnel. hes the closest thing to steve perry. the comment above is just exaggerating the filipino pride thing.
Speaking of famous.famous like manny pacquiao😁😁😉🙂
love steve perry, but this guy is singing his heart out. I got to give him his due, he is rocking the house!
Arnel's tenor voice is incomparable. He can reach the high pitch easily. Very impressive
My god. To be dropped out of nowhere to front one of the most famous bands in the world and somehow be able to command the stage like this, this guys got balls AND an incredible voice.
And a heart if a lion.
He got balls, thats for sure.
That's true. But what people overlook, Arnel wasn't just some guy doing amateur gigs --he has been performing for 25 years in the band circuit in Manila and Hong Kong --doing it for a living since he was 15. He's got all the experience as a frontman and developed the skills and the moves over decades before the opportune moment when fate and destiny collided when Neal Schon saw that youtube video --Arnel was more than ready and had the talent to front a band like Journey. Cream rises. Mind boggling to think that a singer of that caliber couldnt make it in his own country. Real recognize real as they say and Journey saw that they had a diamond in the rough.
When you have the goods great things is possible❤😊
Absolutely, I actually think maby even over SP on some songs.
Every metal band wishes to find a singer like this one! He slays live!
Celadors singer has some decent pipes with a little more grit to it. Seen through time is one of his best
What amazes me is how much he sounds like Journey's original singer - Steve Perry, I loved his voice!!
@@GunnWrights With just a dash of accent. Just for color. He's great too.
Well they did find him singing karaoke, to be fair.
I don’t think that Journey is metal but they do have some hard rock songs
I hope this will shut all the haters up and those who keep comparing AP to SP and to the die hard SP fans who refuse to accept the fact that he's no longer the frontman. You all need to watch and listen to Steve's speech as they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His speech was awesome and he graciously acknowledged Arnel, told him he loved him and thanked him for keeping Journey's legacy alive. These two amazing men have such mutual respect and admiration for each other. Steve obviously approves of Arnel being Journey's lead singer. Hell he's already been doing it for 15 years and counting. So please... Enough with the hate and comparisons already. Do you think Steve would approve of the hate and bashing? Of course not! It's getting old and boring. We should all be happy and blessed that we can still continue to enjoy the amazing legacy and new sounds of Journey with Arnel at the helm. The band loves and believes in him so we all should too. Arnel is so talented in his own right and continues to bring that soulful, emotional and legacy Journey sound that Neal and Jon were looking for for the longest time. Let's just enjoy listening and watching these guys and their iconic music while they're still alive. They will forever be legends. Don't ever stop believing...Long live Journey!
I've never read a banana say something so wise. Thank you, Wise Banana.
@@thatdrummerwoman03 wise banana says thank you kind one. ❤️🙏😊
Could not have been said better
He may be the new front man and he’s good. I’ll give him credit but they have no new music. Just a cover band now. Steve Perry is Journey. Can’t change that. If they want to change it they should produce some new music instead of getting a guy who sounds like Perry. Can’t ignore that. He might be good he they are forcing him to seem like he’s trying to be Perry. It’s not the Perry fans who refuse to change. It’s the band who hasn’t changed anything.
My God... The multiple "eargasms' this performance gives me is beyond comprehension. I've already listened to this live masterpiece an unhealthy amount of times. These guys are true professionals in their fields and they came to SLAY big time! Arnel's talent is unbelievable and the emotion and passion he brings to each song is undeniably amazing. Close your eyes and you will be mesmerized. He has great stage presence and commands it and gets the crowd going and feeling every vibe. This is my favorite Journey line up ever. Neal is the man! He is so underrated. Jon on keyboards is pure magic and those intros he does is crazy. Ross is always super cool. And damn Deen... He came to SLAY! Love Steve Smith, but Deen brings power and sexiness to the band and the way he hits that drum kit blows me away, while doing a great job singing vocals too. And please... Stop the hate and comparisons. Steve will always be Steve and will always be a part of Journey. And Arnel is Arnel and he brought new life and an exciting resurgence to this iconic band. Please let's all just appreciate the fact that these guys love what they do and want to keep playing until they can't no more. Like they all say... The show must go on and Arnel helped do just that. He's phenomenal and also brings international appeal. His fellow Filipinos completely love and support him. I'm also a proud Filipina and have been a huge Journey fan since the early 80's. I'm 55 and I'm so thankful that I still get to enjoy all the magic that is Journey. Steve and Arnel both respect one another and we should take their lead. Arnel loves Steve and the band and what a blessing that he is now continuing Steve's legacy. I'm sure Steve is extremely proud. And I love happy endings. Such a heartwarming story about Arnel. A true Cinderella story for the ages and love it when good things happen to good people. And come on man, if Neal and Jon believe in him then who are we to judge and complain? They knew what they were doing choosing AP. Journey saved Arnel, but in all honesty, it was Arnel who saved Journey as they are enjoying a worldwide resurgence and love seeing this diehard band enjoying what they love and that's playing amazing music! Enjoy them while they're still alive. I know I am and will continue to love and support them until the end. Rock on Journey! Don't ever stop believing... 🔥❤️😎🤟

This guy is more energetic than Perry. He's got his own voice and style. I kind of love his voice and stamina.
5:01 - He held it for longer than the studio version. He's a great singer!
So happy that some old-fashioned bands still exist, guitars, keyboard, drums, star vocalists, that's all I need.
@@StevePerry-uk8rq Hello Steve, you are not in the band anymore? Now it;s Arnel. But you were great too, in your day. I really like this song. you guys did a great job writing it.
There is no note this guy can’t hit. Extraordinary!
How can anyone not like Arnel? This guy is awesome and his story is so inspirational it should be made into a movie!
He may even be better than Perry
I love it superb! So energetic even the sick can dance.
@@monstajd yea ok ur right, but damn. Talk about judging books n shit
@@monstajd “not even close” WTF you smoking man? Neil Schon, Ross Valory and Jonathan Cain disagree with you and I take their opinion over yours any day because they are professional musicians who have worked with Arnel for 10 years and you are... who?
@@markapeterson7159 Wow. That's pretty racist of you. No one cares that Arnel is Asian. He's just not Steve Perry. If Sevendust replaced Lajon Witherspoon with a white dude that's not as good people would be upset too. Or if Hootie and the Blowfish used a white guy to replace Darius Rucker. When it comes to music, the voice and sound are everything. Arnel is fine, but he's no Steve Perry and his range isn't as good. He's a good singer but not on Steve Perry's level.
wow, this guy is the real deal. What a voice, presence, and spirit.
@@DameTremonti singer wise yes, the song writing no. Some singers can sing amazingly and cant write song, some can write but not sing and some can do both.

This has to be the best live rendition of this song. Show me a live when Perry sang it like this
People will never admit it but it’s true
Totally agree!
Agree . Arnel better men a natural born tenor with an impeccable tone .
Look up Tokyo 1983 I think. Perry killed it. He’s notoriously a dick but voice is almost perfect
Perry canta mais suave o que faz ele diferente mas os dois são ótimos Journey teve sorte de encontrar um vocalista tão bom e prosseguir , infelizmente Ac/Dc e Queen não conseguiram ...
I love Arnel’s energy! Great performance!!
that is one heck of a drummer, he hits hard wow
Deen J. Castronovo
He's a bad MFer
I saw Journey live at the Meadowlands in 1982 (Greg Khin opened) and I will say that Arnel does the group justice. One of the best replacement singers ever.
This guy even nails Steve Perry's stage presence. He looks so fun, welcoming and loving for the fans. And of course, his voice is insane as well. Just an all around great performer. I watched this for the first time a few days ago and thought "Did Steve Perry get plastic surgery or something?". That's how good this guy is.
Try watching their first Graspop Metal in Belgium participation from 2009. They were worried that Journey wasnt metal enough for that and they nailed it. One of the best vids Ive seen of them from start to finish. For this year of 2022, I think that the full vid of their Rodeo Houston is the best production-wise. 72k people looked amazing with the song Lights.
This is the probably the best live performance I’ve ever seen.
in Japan,this song is used as a World Baseball Classic theme song. This song give us power.
🔥🔥
Otskare!
すごい！
すげ！
PurpleRose7777 sugoi de sho!
What I like about Arnel is that he sounds like Steve Perry .....he's not TRYING to sound like Steve Perry. They both have their beautiful voices in different and amazing ways
How about when he sings Ann Wilson/Heart songs? Are you saying that he’s not trying to sound like Ann Wilson but also sounds like her??? 🤣
Arnel is a great singer. He has such beautiful vocals.
@@audreycraig9433 I think he's trying to sound like Arnel . His natural voice happens to " sound" like Perry a bit
Lee Campanile no he sounds more like Bryan Adams, not really like Perry. Arnel’s voice is thick.
I disagree. He IS trying to sound like Steve Perry. Arnel himself has said that he models his vocal style after SP because he is his idol. So, yes, love, he ISSSSSSSS trying to sound like him. No shame in that though. Steve is AMAZZZZZZZZZING! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
The energy Arnel delivers is just amazing!!! A huge oxygen intake to a great band and to Steve’s legacy!!
This is live! Watch whole concerts of Journey, no in betweens! What a stamina the band has especially frontman Arnel!
2:50 Deen plays a really hard fill whilst holding a perfect harmony. This guys is something very, very special. A joy to watch.
General Hammond for me this is the best line for the Journey band. I miss deen with journey and arnel they harmonize each other so well. And the way Deen drums.
I notice it too i really miss Dean Voice and Beats
Guess what deen is coming back!
This Journey line-up slays!!! Deen is sexy hot on drums and slays! Arnel's killer vocals and energy wows the crowds and the original kings... Neal, John and Ross are epic!!! These guys are the epitome of beasts and the best of the best in their fields!!!
This Guy can sing Live. He sounds just like a studio version.
Drakrox T That’s what counts-LIVE. This dude LOVES singing live. In the studio, the engineer can MAKE ya sound good. This dude is BADASS.
I have to say I'm a huge Steve Perry fan but this dude is blowing me away. Steve Perry might be the hardest act to follow ever and he is doing it.
Amy Cain He’s AMAZING!
That‘s exactly what i thought too
Arnel he is amazing !!
I just saw Journey in concert April 2022 was amazing. Thank you Arnel for sharing your gift and bringing Journey all together again. your an amazing singer
Imagine going to a journey concert where both Steve and Arnel come out on stage together. Just a dream.
I just know that will happen someday. They both have such high respect for each other.
I have a Asian friend that looks exactly like the younger Steve ,NOT JOKING . ( he's also a huge fan of journey )
@@asianconnection7701 does he sound like Steve too? Hehe.
@@MiklehMouse HELL NO ,he cant carry a note to save his butt.lol
I love Journey, when Steve Perry left I thought that was the end but then they find this guy and the sun started shining again !!! LOL !!!
Arnel replaced Steve Augeri in 2007, not Steve Perry who left in 1998.
Yeah but the sun shined again with Steve Perry's new album.
@@shaneskaalerud5521 Yeah, they do sound alike. That had been noticed by many in 2007 and 2008 just after Arnel Pineda had joined Journey.
Amel Pineda was barely getting by singing in sketchy dive bars etc and then the band contacted him and offered him an audition after Steve left...this is literally a dream come true for Amel and I think it's awesome how he has brought the band back
@@bowie4ever824 Augeri was awful...lol...Amel is pretty awesome
Arnel Pineda voice is so amazing. Jaw Dropping. High energy and a joy to watch him and this group perform.
Omg you’re here in 2021 what a legend 🙌🏽
Im here everydayy
That's what is lacking in steve. He can't sing the heavy songs of the new journey.
Watching Journey band in Manila the Philippines was the best..I was on this concert. The voice of Arnel especially when live.. was so enticing.
It is amazing how Arnel Pineda can sound so similar to Steve Perry but so different at the same time. It's great!
Imagine how Steve Perry feels when Arnel hits that last high note pushing 3 notes higher than Perry did....Still love Perry and all his work!
He must be proud.
@@joshuaallenzurbano3476 Steve is such a beautiful, humble, and all around great guy. So is Arnell 💗
Performing this song in Arnel's hometown gave him the most confident!👌
agree
This is one song I will never, ever get tired of hearing and Arnel does such a great job.
God I love this song and Arnel just kills it. Amazing how the struck gold twice. It’s hard enough to do it once.
Dude Arnel’s energy blows me away dude how can he even stay that energetic for long?!?
It's incredible to have so much energy singing and being all over the stage at the same time!
Bruce Bartman he uses guide vocals so that he can run around. Used by live performers who run around like him.
He’s using that filipino energy 🤷🏼♀️🤣
@@charlizewinslow5284 guide vocals ?
@@asiadread4902 scream pinoyyyy sigaw ni arnel
Just shows you how smart the band was hiring Arnel. Wow! Amazing live performance
That's crazy how he reached that note towards the end! & live!
I’m glad they found him. The rest of the band mates deserve to carry on as well…so much joy to the next generations
Arnel Pineda just breathed life into a 40 year old band.
When he Started with journey. He's 42 years old. But he's voice sounds like 20s 30s
Big Big time and it could not be a better person to do it.
Actually they are 48 years rocking since 1973
He's good but he'll never be Steve Perry.
@@kerber5258 not even close, Steve had the most amazing voice, Arnel does a good job tho
He's a really great singer, I can't stop watching this.
Listen Steve Perry too.
Me too
@@jpvincint oh god, not another "No, listen to Steve Perry" fan.
@@infantkiller64 Why ? He s good too.
The amount of fun that guy is having being in the shoes of steve and just enjoying that moment with legends! Incredible
Both have amazing voices. Arnel has a lot of energy and a metal voice. Steve sings melodically and with a lot of harmony in the trebles. they are similar in a moment and end with different finishes.
Arnel is his own unique person very talented and humble man! We love Steve but, we love Arnel too!Hey Philippines!
Don’t get me wrong! I will always love Steve Perry, but this guy is very good. I see why the band picked him! He is really cool. Great voice. Much like a younger Steve in a lot of ways. Man, he sure does have a lot of energy. Journey is still a killer band! Peace.
I like Deen's voice better, it has more texture.
@@einarabelc5- Actually, it’s a toss up for me! This guy is good, but my heart is still with Steve. Steve gave Journey that signature sound! They wouldn’t have made it big, at that time, without Steve’s killer vocals! I miss Steve Perry! What a amazing person he is! Peace.
@@einarabelc5 p oo OO OO p
Perry would have not lasted the whole 25 songs, Maybe 12 max 30 years ago. Who, in his right mind would just decide to disappear at the height of his career and literally leave his band in limbo for a decade? When he reappeared in 1998, he backed out and never to return again just before their scheduled concert tour, voice issues? Maybe, just like Augeri, he damaged his vocal chords. All we know is, he just did sporadic small gigs, recordings, & guestings as a solo artist.
@@jgreen3871 - Well, I get your point! However, people are allowed to do what they feel is right for their life. Sometimes, it doesn’t make sense to other people, but they still have the right. Personally, I feel, that Steve should have NEVER left JOURNEY. He gave them that signature sound, with his amazing vocals. Still, this is just my opinion. Through it all, Steve will always go down as being one of the very best male vocalist of a band. Whatever he is doing these days, I wish him the greatest success! Period! Peace.
So happy Journey is still going strong, Blessing to have Ariel as lead singer 🎶🎶🎼🎤🎶🎶💕❤️
That’s absolutely incredible. Not often you can say a live performance is better than the single release. 👏🏻🙌🏻
It's good but ....
True hundred percent
Drummers got a good voice. He's hittin it
Dean Castranovno, hes awesome!
He's a great drummer too
He used to play drums for OZZY OSBOURNE .
Arnel surely NAILED IT!!! He wouldn't be hired by Journey if he did not possess the LEGACY VOCALS!!!
legendary is for demonics i see now!!! )
Just saw Journey in Phoenix Arizona, last weekend. Heavenly. Great musicians.
This is absolutely amazing!! AP sounds so good! Keep in mind, that Steve Perry gave him his blessing, and told him that he loves him! Arnel was over the moon, so full of gratitude after he heard that! It's all good!♥️
That’s how you replace an unmatched voice..get a voice that can do the songs just as much justice 💯
It's Arnel Pineda who made this band to continue their JOURNEY..👍👍👍
Same with Floor Jansen and Nightwish 🤟🏼
they got so lucky to find Arnel ! everybody wants to hear the Journey songs sung as close to the way Steve sang them if Steve is no longer going to be in the band and they found him ! this is what i want if i pay my hard earned money to see them and i have seen them in recent years and Arnel was great !!
Doug Kelly he doesn’t sound like this anymore. This is from 2009, band lowered key 3 years later in 2012.
@@audreycraig9433 yep cause they were close to roasting his vocals due to concerts, gigs, you name it. Like what ross valory said in their docu/film, they never had so much successive tours before(Perry's time). So yeah aside from arnel's age, I'd say they mis managed his voice
E Jean Arnel has a backup lead singer helping him out with the vocals - Deen Castronovo did it until he was let go. He hasn’t toured anywhere nearly as much as Steve Perry who’s still done the most shows out of all the lead singers to this day. Ross Valory is a total ditz.
The best harmonies in Rock history!
Arnel ist a great singer.Amazing voice ! I hear the music from this great band everyday.Separate Ways is the best song from this band.This Song bring me back in the wonderful years of the 80's.I wish Journey all the best for the future !
I have to say , apart from being a great singer ,Arnell is also a great frontman, he really gets the crowd into it
First let me say Arnel deserves this win and when he was found and discovered on KZhead it couldn't have happened at a perfect time he won the lottery big time and now he's living the dream all the very best to him and his family❤🇺🇸👍🏻

i really like this song. Arnel's voice is so powerful and he can hit those high notes while moving, runnin, jumpin on the stage. he's so energetic and doesnt look like he's on his 40's when he sang this

Bitter Journey fans are so bitter that their denying Arnel’s talent. Come on! We all love Steve Perry, but we can’t deny that Arnel’s freakin’ killing it!!!
I am Steve Perry's biggest fan but Arnel man I love you!!!! You really do an amazing job!!!!! God bless you always!!!!
Mate I think his biggest fan is his family😂
Hes bad ass
🐩
So do l !! ❤❤❤👍👍🙏
I happen to think that Arnel is a fantastic singer, and took an amazing opportunity with Journey. I grew up with Steve singing, and love his voice differently. Steve had some kind of magical power and gift that isn’t always explainable. Arnel was picked out for his incredible and awesome vocal ability, but was different than Steve’s very special voice. Love them both, but always pick Steve’s singing, back in the day. I’ve seen them both in concert, and both rocked me. Steve in the early days seemed to take me to another plane of existence.
THAT LAST NOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! A whole octave higher in full voice after singing that entire song and running around the stage!!!!
Stranger Things made me revisit this epic performance. After 6years i still have goosebumps listening to this
Never get’s old and the way this band kept going no matter what the way they Embrace this guy which deserves every penny he makes with this band and hope they stay toghether. 👏👍
Thia is an absolute killer version of this tune. Arnel's story is one of my favorites in rock n roll history. Excellent and inspiring. Well done brothers
He’s a unicorn for sure.
This is the best than what happened to judas priest singer.
What's his history?
@@samanthablacksabbath5804 a kid from manila who went homeless and started singing at the age of 15 just to be able to eat. Singing at funerals just so he could have coffee and bread.

We love you Arnel! You 're special! Thank you so much for this wonderful performance!
I almost believe his the original on this song! What an amazing performance by Arnel. If you don't think about Perry, you'll mistaking that Arnel is the original on this song. What a great voice.
The thing that strikes me most is that people get the impression that he's trying to be Steve. He isn't. He was auditioned by the band members of Journey and he got the job. Now, instead of clinging to past emotional connection to Perry, why don't you use your ears to listen. Hear how powerful Arnel's voice is. He is no Perry. He is the new lead singer for Journey. He is amazing. Aren't you guys happy that the band is still rolling? Still putting up dazzling performances like this? Come on.
It's a shame so many can't figure this out...
without Steve Perry they're just a cover band. schonn is the only one with real talent and from the few songs I have heard he's either trying to play a little different or he's starting to slip a little. he's getting some years on himself too.
haters cant sing... try to sing the song and rate ur self.. u r nothing..
This is a really hard song to sing and he did fine. No, he isn't Perry and no one will ever be, but they had to find someone remotely close or it just wouldn't be Journey.
When you pass an audition for Journey and learn their catalog, then you'll have the place to stand to be critical of their choices... Not before.
For me this is their best live performance.
Can't wait to see them live. 4 days and counting.
Awesome in every sense of the word. Toto was awesome, Journey was off the charts awesome and we had an amazing time.
An epic band with a pertinent name, wow what a Journey it's been...So glad I've seen the documentary about the impossible task of replacing the irreplaceable. What a great story. Dude is a natural entertainer. Team Perry and Team Pineda.....For the double win!
Perfectly stated!
Bravo! On point!
I'm an American and I gotta side with Arnel on the recent Steve coming back rumors. Arnel has carried the torch and done an excellent job for over a decade. He should keep the job
They might try to harmonize, might be epic...
The chances of that happening are little to none. More likely for Mike Portnoy to rejoin Dream Theater than Steve to come back.
Peter Criss and Ace Frehley will return to KISS for the third time before that happens.Besides Arnel rocks.
@@sparklesthecat6507 Exactly. I know this comment was made 2 months ago, but Steve has zero intentions of returning to Journey so I'm not sure why this is even a debate. Arnel has done a fantastic job carrying the torch and Steve's legacy remains strong. Both men should be proud.
You're buggin man and this has nothing to do with being an American it has to do with the music! Pineda got to go, I've seen them live and he's way too wide eyed animated. His spirit isn't there, he's performing too much, no feel. I really feel like I'm seeing a good tribute band. Perry is like top 2 of all time greatest singer. Pineda got too much vibrato too, Bring Perry back!!!
Listening to journey during quarantine, This Arnel's best performance for me
Being a young Journey fan, grew up hearing Perry voice Journey on the radio and early albums as my musical taste grew. At first I wasnt a fan of Arnel, it just was due to that I never came across him before like this, but now after about a year or so of knowing and listening, I respect both. Both have their own ways of singing, but I do agree that this might be the best version of it. Its just as pure as the guy singing it who knows how to deliver on stage a bit more then Perry did
Hey the man is really good, yes we miss Steve.
Steve is irreplaceable, the guy is one of a kind. There are few vocalist in this world that can sing journey song. Applause for Arnel for keeping Journey going, the guy is good.
Benjamin, I agree. Arnel just kills this performance of Seperate Ways. I just watched his first performance with the band in South America singing Seperate Ways. He sounds so much better here, voice much smoother, VERY relaxed. You could tell he was nervous back then, voice VERY CALM here 😉
I love how Stranger Things 4 slowed it down with a darker tone. It makes me love this song even more than ever
It looks like no expense was spared for this concert. The camera work is like they were making a movie and the audio is crystal clear.
Yup. The audio work is superb.
Crystal!!!
Arnel Pineda's powerful vocal is very clear... proud to be Filipino..
Arnel Pineda singing WITH JOURNEY in MANILA. WHAT A DREAM COME TRUE. Filipino Boy BRINGS IT HOME AND ROCKS 30 THOUSAND PEOPLE!!!!!
I cant stop listening to this! Arnel is just so freaking good!
Their Graspop Metal Belgium 2009 was freaking good from start to finish. they were worried that they werent metal enough for that but they nailed it. It was attended by the younger generation of rock metal music enthusiasts.
Sometimes when Journey gets into my algorithm and I hear this, I say to myself "Wow, Steve Perry is so amazing!" Then I look at the screen, and it's just... whoa!
Im jealous of the 30,000 people that were at this concert...they got to see the best performance of this song period!
ok...............
hello....................
Sorry Rock King89 Arnel is good, but the BEST is when Steve Perry did it!!!
I will be jealous the day Steve Perry sings with them again and I missed it.
New generation
WOW! A TOTAL PERFORMER. You can't see or hear him catch his breath while singing despite his doing strenuous dancing, running and jumping. Too much energy and physically fit. Never loses air which their manager was afraid of when they first saw Arnel perform in Chile.
yes...............
ok..................
His voice isnt bad but he changes the songs(making notes longer or shorter)
You mean "isn't bad as your voice"?
@Frank. T its not his own tho
Ur the man idol that's why journey still rocking on stage because of ur great performance And to your golden voice proud filipino here
Singer is top notch 👌
If you listen to them side by side Arnel does not sound like Steve Perry, but he does sound like Journey. He was the perfect addition to the band.
One of the reasons the 80’s was a great decade for music.
I just added Arnel to my top ten list of celebrities I would love to meet! We saw him in OKC on 3/17 with Journey and he was terrific.
OMG!!! Grabe ang performance ni Arnel. So jealous sa mga pinoy na naandon. Truly a concert one for the ages.👍❤️
With out Arnel Journey would have finished up 11 Years ago thank god they found this amazing singer, and front man for the band. Magic vocals and great stage present make them such a wonderful band with him in it. Steve Perry was a first class singer and the band would not have been as successful with out him, but with Arnel leading the way they will go on for many more years
ARNEL IS THERE TO CONTINUE THE 'JOURNEY', AND HE'S DOING A FANTASTIC JOB AT IT. JOURNEY, A FANTASTIC BAND THEN AND NOW WITH ARNEL
Arnel even made Journey bigger. He is the soul of the Jouney now.
Just love Journey. So glad they are moving forward with a very talented singer.
