Well getting goosebump everytime I watch this video.

Lastly here's an article regarding Arnel Pineda and rest of the group members.
Today's Journey is comprised of guitarist Neal Schon, keyboardist Jonathan Cain, bassist Ross Valory, drummer Deen Castronovo and lead singer Arnel Pineda, who has been a star in Southeast Asia for nearly two decades. While planning the new chapter of Journey, co-founder Neal Schon happened to find Pineda performing on YouTube and immediately contacted him to join the band. Journey's new double album will also include a DVD concert disc and has already received a hefty advance order.
Neff describes the present lineup as one of the tightest bands he has ever recorded. Journey was originally formed in 1973 by former members of Santana, and enjoyed worldwide fame with such songs as "Don't Stop Believing" and "Wheel in the Sky." Various lineups with core members have appeared over the years with the present day incarnation creating interest among longtime fans and newcomers alike.
"Arnel is a very natural tenor," says Neff, "And he has an incredible range. He doesn't have to force a thing. I tried other mics but there was no depth of body to the tone. With the new U47 you could hear a big chest tone and Arnel just sounded huge on that mic. There was a great presence and depth in the upper bass / lower midrange. And remember, Arnel has really been belting it out in clubs for years and this guy delivers a physical SPL you wouldn't believe. He has an amazing volume to his singing and the mic could totally take it."
