Arena Band Journey suddenly stopped the concert on Friday night with the Houston Rodeo Mid Song, but the crowd continued the show.
The band was playing their 1981 hit, “Don't Stop Believin'.” About 30 seconds after the song, the music cut off and the arena band became darker.
Still, the devoted crowd went on to sing the next line appropriately. Social media video shared Guitarist Neil Shen and fans showed it.

The band was immediately escorted behind the scenes.
Shen explained the incident on Saturday and thanked her for continuing her singing when the fans couldn't.
“Last night, in Rodeo, Houston, Texas, we had a wonderful, overfilled home of 790,000 to 80,000 fans who showed up to see us!!” Schon wrote on Instagram, sharing a video of the fans singing.

“The only unfortunate thing was that after getting off to the Starming Start, the rodeo had an electrical breakdown and a fire started under the stage. Houston should not stop singing before he was unable to rush back from the stage due to an electric fire.”
“Don't believe Houston for singing the song before we rushed off the stage due to an electric fire and couldn't get back.”
Shen said “it felt bad for the fans and offered to play “rodeo” on “Saturday Night” and make up for Y'all, but they couldn't make it happen until next time – love and respect.”
