ALL roads led to the SM Mall of Asia (MOA) fair grounds as Manila’s mostly upper crust and middle class crowd witnessed rock band Journey’s first Asian date in support of their Revelation album.
An announcer mentioned to the audience that the concert was being filmed for a special DVD and asked the crowd to perform two cheers for filming purposes.
Led by native son Arnel Pineda on vocals, the band took the stage at approximately 8:50 pm and erupted into “Never Walk Away” off the Revelation album with all cylinders firing, followed by “Only The Young,” a sufficient one-two salvo to keep the crowd on its’ feet.
