Journey - Live In Manila is an electrifying concert film that captures the iconic rock band's 2009 performance in the Philippines' capital city. The film features lead vocalist Arnel Pineda, who joined Journey in 2007, and showcases the band's greatest hits from the 80s and 90s, as well as some newer tracks. The movie opens with footage of the band's arrival in Manila, where they are met with enthusiastic fans at the airport. It's clear from the start that Journey has a huge following in the Philippines, and the band feeds off the energy of the crowd throughout the entire concert.

The setlist includes classic Journey tracks like "Separate Ways," "Wheel in the Sky," and "Open Arms," as well as deeper cuts like "Stone in Love" and "Mother, Father." The band also performs newer tracks from their 2008 album Revelation, including "Faithfully" and "After All These Years."

Arnel Pineda's performance is a highlight of the film, as he brings his own unique vocal style to classics originally sung by Steve Perry. Pineda's soaring vocals on "Don't Stop Believin'" and "Anyway You Want It" are particularly impressive.

In addition to the music, the film includes behind-the-scenes footage of the band rehearsing and interacting with fans. We see the band members exploring Manila and taking in the sights, as well as rehearsing for the show. There are also interviews with the band members, where they reflect on their time together and their journey as musicians.

The concert itself is a stunning visual spectacle, with a large video screen behind the band displaying vivid graphics and animations throughout the show. The lighting and pyrotechnics add to the excitement, and the camera work captures every angle of the stage, giving viewers a front-row experience.

One of the most touching moments of the film comes towards the end, when the band performs "Faithfully" and Pineda dedicates the song to his wife and children. The audience lights up the stadium with their cell phone flashlights, creating a magical atmosphere.

Overall, Journey - Live In Manila is a must-see for any fan of the band or classic rock in general. The concert footage is electrifying, and the behind-the-scenes glimpses into the lives of the band members add an extra layer of depth to the film. It's a testament to the enduring popularity of Journey that they can still pack stadiums and rock as hard as they did in their heyday.
