The return concert of rock band Journey, scheduled on March 21 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, has been canceled. A statement from Journey front man Arnel Pineda, which was posted on smtickets.com and confirmed by MOA Arena marketing head Nicole Mariz C. Deato, explained the reasons for the show’s cancelation.
British band The Zombies unwittingly played a role on the third day of the Edsa I People Power revolt in February 1986—when one of its hit songs, “She’s Not There,” was heard by the millions barricaded on the streets and those monitoring developments at home.
Some things remain etched in memory about the first time we watched the folk-rock band America in 1982 at the Big Dome: the thrill of hearing the upbeat single, “You Can Do Magic,” from the band’s then newly released album, “View From the Ground”; the witty humor of Florante, who opened the concert; the fear of being suffocated as the crowd, packed like sardines, walked down the exit from the upper box section.
