So how many so far have the new DVD?

[Rick]

[rant] As much as AP has done for this band, he should be paid like an equal member. That really gripes my ass. I know he makes a good buck doing what he's doing, but for fucks sake, he's absolutely the reason they have had this resurgence of fame. His story, his voice, and his stage presence are all amazing. Waiting to hear the "pop" sound when NOMOTA pulls their heads out of their collective asses. [/rant]

I believe he is paid as an equal member starting this year, 2009 tour. Neal said it, I'm pretty sure in his blog once addressing something said. And I believe Arnel said something also, but not sure. But if not, I'm with you.

Cool.

TDTWT is fantastic on this DVD. This one is a bitch to do live for the backing vocals, but they did well here, if it's not augmented. Arnel tore this song up.

Arnel killed on every Revelation song, all seven. I can't think of one that his vocals weren't spot on.

And Neal killed on this one. Arnel too.

I love the Jam and think it's really cool the way Neal is out there playing with the Audiance. You can tell they are eating right up.

That's the first time I've seen Neal do that. Which reminds me of the Thackerville Oklahoma show. Neal got down on his knees and slapped hands with the audience. I've never seen that either.

Not sure how you can't love this band right now. They're on fire.

The guitars sound great on this one.

The sound quality wasn't that great also, and I have bow's speakers set up.

Here is a tip for you dude...If your speakers actually say "bow's" on the front, you've been ripped off If they say Bose on the front, you simply have crappy, VERY overrated speakers. As everyone says, "All highs and no lows...Must be Bose"!

I thought Bose was supposed to be a good brand - when I need new speakers, I am posting here first and getting help!

Hahahaha......think SP went out and bought this DVD? Nah, I'm sure for him it would be like watching a video of your ex-wife having sex.

Bose is top of the line... He was saying that if you get some called "Bow's" that they're shit! I disagree with him about the crappy speakers, as I've heard them many times and they sounded amazing. I have very picky ears too. I don't think you can go wrong with "Bose". I honestly don't think they make a bad product!

A personal favorite. This is a kick ass song.

Nicely done.

Judging by this MR poll the cd isn't doing too well... yet!! which makes me wonder how it's really doing overall with the general public (fanbase)

If you mean buying it, they're sold out in my area. Around 100 came in and sold out. They sent me to another store and only two left. She thought they had gotten in over 100. My friend in another town e-mailed me wanting to know if we had any as in her town they sold out quickly. And I wonder how online is doing. I had already ordered one off of there, but it hadn't come yet, so I went out to buy one. I would imagine sales are good online.

COMMENT | SAW STEVE PERRY AND SAID HE's HAPPY FOR A.P.

LOVE THEM! A TRUE JOURNEY FAN.. SAW STEVE PERRY BACK IN 1983 AND ARNEL IN 2008 & LAST MONTH (AUG2009).. wow, AMAZING SINGERS!!! what a voice and talent.. GO steve and Go Arnel. AM from HANFORD where Steve is from and hes family can't wait to see ARNEL in FRESNO.... Saw Steve Perry in Hanford last year and he said he is so happy for Arnel Pineda to keep JOURNEY ALIVE!!! especially the song DON'T STOP BELIEVING. Believe it or not, he has the album REVELATION.

Riiiiiiight!!!

[JasonD]

Well I finally got my copy of the "Rip Rokken In Manila" DVD & I'm not 100% sure, but I think the band Journey may have made a cameo appearance. j/k.

I gotta say after all the hype I've read on here I thought that no way in hell is this DVD gonna live up to my expectations, but -- DAMN -- it totally blew me away!!! I thought Arnel sounded better than I've ever heard him. He sounded nothing like he did at the Super Bowl. His voice was amazing!!!! He had a few minor problems here & there, but nothing that would affect my overall opinion of the concert. All the work that was put into making this set by way of sound quality, lighting, camera angles & so forth are simply great IMO. This DVD, to me, looks so much more professional than the Houston & Greatest Hits releases. That's not a jab at Perry, btw. I'm sure he had nothing to do with the lighting, sound or camera angles of those concerts. It's just that this one's now my fave. Deen was fantastic as ever on Mother Father. I loved Neal & Jon's solos, (no surprise there). Hell, I don't have anything bad at all to say about this set. They could have charged twice what they're asking. It's well, worth the investment & then some.

You got it, you got it, YAY!

[brywool]

just picked up the last one at my walmart.
Going to that place is like going to the zoo. Animals everywhere...

Haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but the packaging is great. Nice job.

later-
Watched about 4 tunes. Sounds great to me. Arnel sings the Hell out of this stuff.
Hi RIP!!! HAHAHAHAHA. Too funny.
Nice to see Cain playing a real piano (you can actually see the hammers). Most guys these days use a shell and electronic guts.
Did he smile?? Oh wait, I think that was just gas.

Right now I have some kind of 20 year old Sears brand, so anything would sound better to me! When I move, they are not coming with me!

Is that all you think about Jason?

[SherriBerry]

I haven't purchased the DVD, but I have seen some of the performances on YouTube. Neal, Deen, and Arnel all look like they're having the time of their lives. Neal wouldn't be smiling so much if he weren't happy with Arnel's performance, so I think all is going really well for them.

I know they are supposed to be working on a new album now, but is there any other news on what they might be doing during their year off from touring? I'm still waiting on Neal's next solo project!

My Wife and I were just watching it again last night and after Jon's piano solo, and Neals into to Open Arms, my wife goes....does Neal ever do any solo work? She said she'd love to hear it.

You have to play her Neal's 'Beyond the Thunder'! I love that album and it would be one of my picks if I were going to be stranded on a deserted island and could only bring a few with me.

So far It is doing very very well.

Journey's Manila DVD and Revelation album are Walmart's #2 and #3 topseller next to Kiss album.

That's very impressive. I didn't expect this thing to make that much of an impact, given the way they kinda just foisted the release on us without too much warning.

Well, in the stores in my area they sold out out quickly and the salesclerk told me he kept having people coming in asking for it and there was nothing they could do and that it was sold out at most of the other stores. e has no idea when the next shipment is coming in, and I see online they're already out of stock of the Manila DVD . re-edit - now back in stock online.

[Saint John]

That's very impressive. I didn't expect this thing to make that much of an impact

Especially considering that dumbfucks like me had to go to 4 fucking stores to find the thing. 2 Wal Marts said they flat out didn't have it yet.

I've got the Bose LI II system. It rules for playing in a duo or for solo shows. Sounds amazing.

I agree. She has the "midas touch".

Then add into the mix the fans of this current line up.

Did you guys also noticed that Revelation is on the third slot? One slot ahead of Foreigner album.

I'm very happy for the band.
