@@johnstdominic9887 Agreed. I was lucky enough to have seen him in the 90s with Chris Squire and the rest of Yes. Easily one of the best concerts I've seen...

Saw this reunion tour with a good friend. They did songs from Yes. Crimson, ELP, and this. Small sro venue in NYC, and it was great. I was maybe 20 feet from the stage.
Happy Birthday Geoff Downes born on August 25, 1952. He is an English keyboardist, songwriter, and record producer who gained fame as a member of the new wave group The Buggles with Trevor Horn, the progressive rock band Yes, and the super-group Asia. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoff_Downes#Discography
The live shows before John Weston died really showed off the incredible musicianship of all four members of Asia after 40+ years of honing their craft. I actually prefer these live performances over the original studio recordings. I’m still feeling sad about John Weston’s passing. I love his vocal interpretation of this Buggles classic.
27 Feb 2000 this / video was the 1 million on MTV... 1 july 1999 it was the first video on MTV Classic - UK... in the phillipians 15 feb 2010 it was the last video played and the MTV pulled the plug..
I give them a lot of credit, they did a really good job with that song not too bad. 1 out of 10 give them a 8 if you agree give me a hoot and y'all have a great day and by all means God bless the eighties.ll
I consider myself truly blessed to have grown up in the 80’s to enjoy all the great bands, epic music and pop culture! There will never be anything like it! ❤️
As the song's co-writer, Downes doesn't need Horn's approval to play it. Also, you can't really blame Downes for jumping at the chance to join Asia. Perhaps they were a bit overhyped as a "supergroup", but the opportunity to team with virtuoso musicians like Howe and Palmer isn't something that presents itself every day. The Buggles OTOH were mostly a one-hit wonder. Trevor Horn may be as good a bassist (perhaps a bit better?) as Wetton ever was, but Wetton was clearly the better vocalist, songwriter, and overall musician.
Woah...watching these Prog Super Legends playing a Buggly Boo Pop song is very disturbing! This video killed the Prog Rock Stars...in my mind and in my heart!😮
Surprised they would do this. A female background singer would have helped! Not bad but not even close to Trevor's live versions. Very rock 'n' roll! P.S. What the band could not do in the vocals department, they made up for it in the guitar solo one! Amazing.
as tribute to the amazing John Wetton ... I would highly recommend the studio CD "Battlelines" and the live CD "Chasing The Dragon" - - UK live Night After Night is a blast too - I got to see Asia's Alpha tour which in retrospect would easily be them at their best - lot's of material - Alpha had 2 lousy singles and 8 great album tracks esp Midnight Sun and Open Your Eyes - a fave cd
I don’t think he is underrated at all. Guy is highly respected with a huge catalogue of massive selling albums. If you mean he is great then absolutely 👍🏻
Geoff Downes, John Wetton (RIP), Steve Howe and Carl Palmer... Greatest genius....Thanks for your music, Forever!!!
Geoff Downes is not dead
Nor is Carl Palmer ... I hope ...
Geoff Downes still alive!
I miss John Wetton, his voice and playing, more and more every day. Amazing guy!
Amen to that. I miss him too.
@@nickowchar2001 He left behind a HOT wife! I wonder what she's doing today...
The original ASIA line up to cover this BUGGLES smash hit, what a great idea by this super band ! Thanks John and RIP !
not that much of a stretch since Geoff was in Buggles......just sayin'
@@dettigs Yes, he was 50% of Buggles. So you've literally got half the band on stage there!
@@dettigs They did a song from each members previous band, FYI
Too true!
@@guitarslim56 Wow, who knew. Big Asia fan from their first album release. Never knew that.
Steve Howe playing backing vocals on the guitar 👍
Seeing Steve Howe play this song is awesome and they jam it.
I thought the same thing.He reached out and owned it...
@@Jreb1865 Same for Heat of the Moment and Sole Survivor. Howe didn't write those songs, but it's his playing that makes them.
@@johnstdominic9887 Agreed. I was lucky enough to have seen him in the 90s with Chris Squire and the rest of Yes. Easily one of the best concerts I've seen...
Which would be great, sure, but this isn't Howe.
Carl Palmer is an outstanding drummer.
Both of The Buggles ended up in Yes for a while-this lineup of Asia is exponential supergroupery 🤘
この4人が、やっぱり
エイジアのメンバーで
最高です🎉
Awesome version! Miss this version of Asia! Will never be the same without JW.
Four master musicians could nail just about any song! Well done!!!
What a fascinating cover by a an iconic band.
Thanks for posting.
Great rocking cover of an 80's classic. Tasteful solo playing from Steve Howe. Thanks for sharing
@@hubbsllc It's a cover. The Bubbles originally played that song. It was the first video ever played on MTV when it stared up in the 80's
@@davidbuswa9425 The band was The Buggles, not The Bubbles 😁👍🏼
HOWE....y su guitarra maravillosa!!!
Forever John Wetton. ❤
Na verdade artista nunca morre fica pra sempre na memória 😂😂😊❤❤
Keyboardist Geoff Downes was the other Buggle. True. ^_^
@@nonenone7250 Dolby was in The Camera Club with Bruce Wooley. Wooley, Horn and Downes wrote the song which was released by The Buggles (Horn and Downes). Wooley released his version via The Camera Club.
Hans Zimmer was the third Buggle
Still the best cover of this song 👍🏻.....RIP JW
Me llena de recuerdos ,son grupos netamente con características reales de música ya vividas en nuestra juventud.
最後のギターソロがマジで神、、、
Awesome version , Asia was legendary band
Wow, John Wetton! R.I.P. John. You are greatly missed.
Sad, very sad, RIP John Wetton...
Just love John’s cadence and flow of vocals. The whole band sounds terrific. Thank you for posting.
Great vocals and bass by JW as usual, RIP
Que saudade desse tempo!!!
Que saudade desses gênios da música!
Verdade amigo sou fã desses caras tbm
I was blown away when I saw them place this in Boston on the first reunion tour. The 4 of them individually just sound so amazing here.
Que mejor manera que despertarse con musica de wetton se viene un hermoso dia before your eyes
80S FOREVER
More brilliant Steve Howe guitar 3:00
John Wetton nailed the Trevor Horn parts
Just amazing! Love this so much!
Thanks Forever!!! John Wetton !!!! for great Voz All Time R.I.P.
Damn ...they nailed the song hell good

John Wetton barely needed a mic! One of the great rock vocalists
JOhn Wetton's vocal sounds remarkably like Greg Lake. Both are sorely missed. But their notable histories are indelibly recorded for eternity.
Amazing line up,a true super group.
love megaphone scene
EXCELENTE Y MUY MUY BUENA VERSION, IN MEMORIA DE WETTON
John was having so much fun 8/1/22 anniversary of this song on MTV
Was lucky enough to see Asia on this tour and thus, lucky enough to see John Wetton one more time. RIP
Wow... What a prophetic song by The Buggles...
What a treat. Never knew they covered the song. Backing vocals needed some tweaking, but John was great.
Great version ❤
Geoff does whatever he wants... and part of that is including this song in his newer band's repertoire.
Nothing wrong with that. Love Geoff, and all his music over the decades. Top guy, too.
Oh man I miss this time for MTV, this time in music, and John Wetton.
John Wetton RIP legend.
Outstanding....
Great! Wetton forever!
Una canzone che porto nel cuore
Wonderful version of the Buggles song !
Carl Palmer playing matched grip on the end drum fill? Is the end of the world at hand?!
R.I.P. John Wetton. Humor hatten die Jungs...ich weiss nicht, wie Geoff Downes gerade Steve Howe dazu gekriegt hat, seinen Song zu spielen..... :-)
AFAIK, Downes and Howe never had any personal issues with one another. The big "rift" in Asia was always that between Wetton and Howe. 😢
I highly recommend Todd in the shadows' video about this song. It's a beautiful way to know more about the amazing work of these guys...
Want to hear that live again Asia will be in Tulare California to Tulare amphitheater in November 9th if you're interested ❤😂❤
Cheers.
How is #ASIA NOT IN #THEROCKNROLLHALLOFFAME.?
Awesome Band,Steve Howe Genius...
That was awesome
I loved Wetton 👏🏻👊🏻☮️

One Magic moment when i saw this song un México City
Jesuschrist John, a voice for the ages.
Amazing voice, frontman and musician, and writer. One of the very best!
Ironically, Geoff Downes ditched fellow Buggle Trevor Horn to join Asia. Did Horn approve of this cover of the Buggle classic?
As the song's co-writer, Downes doesn't need Horn's approval to play it.
Also, you can't really blame Downes for jumping at the chance to join Asia. Perhaps they were a bit overhyped as a "supergroup", but the opportunity to team with virtuoso musicians like Howe and Palmer isn't something that presents itself every day.
The Buggles OTOH were mostly a one-hit wonder. Trevor Horn may be as good a bassist (perhaps a bit better?) as Wetton ever was, but Wetton was clearly the better vocalist, songwriter, and overall musician.

She passed away a few years ago. Beautiful voice.
You do realize that Geoff Downs is one half of The Buggles.
I never said he wasn't.
Ok not like the original but could you think of a better singer than JW to cover it, I doubt it, RIP John...
You mean the Bruce Woolley and The Camera Club original?
Steve Howe collaborated with Trevor Horn a few times including on a Frankie Goes To Hollywood record.
I love this! Steve Howe kicks as well the rest of the band!

Magnificent band + iconic classic song = “watch forever on UA-cam”. 😎. One thing: is Steve playing the solo from “Heat of the Moment”?
Great point ! It's a little similar, but not exactly the same solo.
arigatou Asia💞
These English guys,they are the best
steve howe veryvery underrated guitarist
Said no one ever! He was literally considered by everyone one of the best guitarists back in the 70s when he was in his prime.
I don’t think he is underrated at all. Guy is highly respected with a huge catalogue of massive selling albums. If you mean he is great then absolutely 👍🏻
You must be kidding...
One could even make a case that Howe is a bit OVER-rated. Yes, I said it; "sorry, not sorry" 😁😅
これ行った人に激しく嫉妬
楽しいカバーだしジェフリーは
バグルズの半分だもんな
ジョンはシンプルに艶がある美声だから聴き入ってしまった
ASIA❤️
It came out a long time ago
Imagine if Geoff Downes' fellow Buggle, Trevor Horn, joined Asia with him.
Geoff DOWNES,Steve HOWE,Carl PALMER AND John WETTON❤
Wow!
Awesome
Simplesmente maravilhoso.
....... AWESOME!!!
Funny. Steve is playing "not his material".
Rip John
Brilliant arregement
And Howe!
Radagast!....Steve Howe is a wizard......
WOW
