In March 2009, Journey was actively touring as part of their "Revelation" era, which marked a significant resurgence in their career. Prior to this live recording, the band had released the studio album "Generations" in 2005. However, by the time of the live performance in Manila, they had also put out "Revelation" in 2008, which included both new material and remastered classics. This album was notable for featuring new lead vocalist Arnel Pineda, who was discovered via YouTube and brought fresh energy to the band's iconic sound. The performance in Manila highlights Journey's enduring popularity, especially in the Philippines, where they have a dedicated fan base. The live recording captures the excitement of their concert, showcasing their classic hits like "Separate Ways," which continues to be a defining anthem of the band.
