In early 2009, Journey was enjoying a resurgence in popularity, largely due to the success of their 2007 album "Revelation," which introduced new lead singer Arnel Pineda and marked a significant milestone in the band’s history. The live recording of "Don't Stop Believin'" from January 1, 2009, captures the band’s performance in Manila, highlighting their ability to connect with fans around the globe. This song, released in 1981 as part of the "Escape" album, had seen a resurgence in popularity earlier in the 2000s, thanks to its feature in television shows like "The Sopranos." The Manila concert was part of a larger tour supporting "Revelation," which was pivotal for Journey, as it revitalized their legacy while introducing them to a new generation of listeners. This recording serves to showcase not only their enduring appeal but also the impactful combination of classic rock with a fresh dynamic from Pineda.
