Just got back from Journey concert in Manila......
Posted: Sun Mar 15, 2009 3:13 amI arrived at the concert venue 7pm but concert started around 8:30pm. There were a lot of entrance/exit gates so it was a breeze getting in. There were 3 big screens in front (with the biggest one on stage, smaller on the sides) and 2 screens in the middle sides.
There were still a lot of empty seats when I arrived but when the concert started there were already a lot of people. I don't know if it was sold out since i am not that tall, i cant see the entire venue. Also i was not able to tell if all seats were taken because many people went to the railings or sides to stand up. Before the concert started, it was announced that they were filming for a DVD.
I don't really know how to give a technical review like if Arnel was on pitch all the time or how the sound was or if there were wrong keys played but they sounded great to me . I will leave that to others who were there to give their technical reviews. But i was just soo excited because this is my first "rock" concert. Here are some of the songs i remembered:
- From Revelation:
After all these years
Change for the Better
Where did I lose your Love
What I Needed
Turn Down the World Tonight
Wildest Dreams
Never Walk Away
- Then:
Open Arms
Faithfully
Edge of the Blade
LIghts
Be Good to your self
WITS
Separate Ways
Stone In Love
Touching, Loving, S
When YOu Love a Woman
- Sung by Dean:
Mother Father
Keep On Running - (not sure if this is the correct title)
-There was solo by Neal and harmonica solo by Jon
My attention was most of the time on the stage and the people around me. Also most people in my area were singing along and they were very loud. But i really super duper enjoyed the concert. I'm glad i went even if i was alone because i really enjoyed it.
Sometimes people would sit like in some ballads. But they were responsive when journey would encourage them to participate. But i ended up standing all through out the concert and was dancing. The songs i wrote above were based from what i can remember. They played around 2 hours and probably more than 20 songs.
By the way I saw Rip because he knew some people seated in my area and he dropped by. But he was actually seated near the font center probably 4th row and was shown on screen a couple of times.
Ok i need to get may late dinner and rest my feet
