John Wetton never received the recognition he should have. Great lead, great voice, solid bass. Legendary bands. An icon really.
One Of The Greatest Bands Ever....Great Steve and Wetton and Lake, Legendary band💖💖💖
Wetton and Greg Lake R.I.P were the best prog-rock singers of all time. miss them so much
John, unforgettable King Crimson 's voice, RIP in our hearts !
I very much doubt that there will be musicians as talented as those of that generation.
Wetton on fine form, Beautiful sonority to his voice, and unfussy but effective bass playing.
One of the greatest debut albums of all time. A real band in which it's not just one star with a backup band, but each one a virtuoso in his own right. They deserve a seat in the RRHOF. RIP John Wetton.
Agree!
They are what was referred to as a supergroup. There were very few.
@@colinphillips1626the term supergroup refers to a band whose members were previously in other established groups. It's nothing to do with the quality of the band or its music. The first supergroup was Cream. Asia is certainly my favorite
@@enderjed Ummm, I’m not sure why you felt the need to tell me what I already knew
@@enderjed When I heard about a release of a super group album, I was pumped. I hoped it would be a group like UK. Sadly, it wasn't. They had a stellar group of prog stars, and what they gave us was a decent first album, then album after album of music that got worse and more commercial with each release. They had the personnel to be great, but the record execs had more commercial ideas in mind. What a waste of such great talent.
この時会場で楽しめたのはいい思い出です。今聴いても色あせない、本当に素晴らしい演奏でした。その時購入した本に４人のサインを書いてもらい、今でも宝物として大事にしています。
Wetton's singing got better through the years.
Although I see they detuned by a semitone.
Rip John ----ASIA-----The Greatest supergroup
Not by a longshot.
60s/70s musicians were so good. Especially live they could really play.
It was great to see they reconciled their differences and performed more. One of my favorite bands and musicians!
These 4 original members are unbelievable! ASIA Forever!!!
one of the most underated singers of our time John Wetton..,RIP, such satin voiced lyrics,
He was primarily a bassist for which he was highly regarded. Although he sang in King Crimson, Asia also auditioned others like Trevor Rabin and Roy Wood who both sang better than Wetton, but they didn't join the band.
Cant say he's underated, sings with king crimson and uk, and played with Uriah heep,roxy music and family. Quiet bussy
@@BrianRAlex Sorry John Wetton was a great Bass Player AND one of the greatest Singer of Prog and Rock! He has more Charisma in his voice then many Others, Greg include 😇
Mr.Wetton, you are my idol since 1970's.
One of my biggest regrets is never seeing Asia in concert. They were coming to the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh in ‘82 and I didn’t go big regret.
Steve Howe is such a guitar wizard/nerd. One of my all time favorite guitar players.
Wow thank you thank you thank you for whoever uploaded this great show
John Wetton was the best and saw Asia many times but the best was early 2000's when I got to stand right up front and John Wetton was right there..Great times and thanks for giving me a thumbs up when I was singing and clapping 👍 You are missed John
Oh, Ronnie, that's so sweet..
so true...badass entrance...Carl Palmer !
@Brian Bixler So sweet? Nothing sweet about it just plain cool and a great memory but not sweet.
Peace Sells...
It really doesn't get any better than this.Steve Howe Yes,Geoff Downs Yes Carl Palmer ELP and John Wetton King Crimson if I'm wright.
And UK
And Uriah Heep
And Buggles
And Family of course 😜

Thanks dude was hoping someone had put the songs and the times when they were.👍
I love Asia. Have loved them since first hearing them in 1983...now 2023...❤
Thanks!!
loveyou
❤❤❤❤
The only Asia lineup that matters,what a loss RIP John Wetton
Wetton, Downes, Howe, Palmer.
OMG A variation of Fanfare for the common man. With guitar improvisation. Excellent
Wetton was in his later 50s yet sang with a youthful voice that he had wonderful control of. So sad that he passed away only about 10 years later. He was great.
When Asia came out in 82, I went on my own journey to hear what this Wetton dude was all about. Family, King Crimson, Roxy Music, UK!!!! What Wetton learned under all of the bands he played with make him one of the most versatile singing bassists of all time. They’ve used the term “journeyman” in past to describe him. However, it never really gave us an indication of how much of a “utility player” and “frontman” he was. History will be very kind to him and his legacy.
Ne aveva 57 di anni qui
This was Asia at thier best. Glad I got to see them on their first US tour.
Does anyone remember when John fronted a band called UK. In the fall of 1978, I was a young DJ, I played a song called Danger Money. Two years later my college roomate bought that casette and the song Alaska....wow, we would take the stereo boombox out in the snow at night tripping on shrooms and it would fit the surroundings so well.
Best Prog album ever.
UK were far superior to Asia. I was lucky to have seen them when they toured with Jethro Tull. Years later I had a chance to see them in Atlanta, but they had to cancel the tour due to John Wetton's failing health. I was SO disappointed.
新めて、エイジアの偉大さが実感させらる、最高の時間。復活、そしてフェニックスへと続く新世エイジア。出きることなら永遠に、続いて欲しかった。
これから、もっと素敵で、心に沁みる多くの曲、メンバーの色々な表情を魅せてくれるはずだった、2017年、1月31日。時が止まってしまった。Wetton、安らかに。そして、ありがとうございました。
RIP John Wetton.
Asia was a truly great band. They blew my mind when I first heard them and still do to this day!
エイジアカッコいい。
良い曲沢山あるし、現在の音楽には無いカリスマ性があると思います。
レコード擦り切れるほどよく聴きました。
English translation: Asia cool.
There are a lot of good songs, and I think they have a charisma that current music doesn't have.
I listened to it so often that the record wore out.🤤😃

The likes of these 4 giants we will not see again . What a wonderful band Asia!
This show worth every cent of the tickets price! Carl Palmer is in sooo perfect musical shape! Just amazing!
RIP great John Wetton. ASIA - favorite band forever.
Steve Howe is one of the best but least credited rock guitarists in the world. His work with Yes and others is phenomenal and extremely fun to watch. I like how he looks around and will play a complicated few bars then look up at the audience like "there, how do you like that?" Everyone always mentions Clapton and Luke and others but Steve is just so exquisite in how he plays. My favorite.
Yeah well he should be more recognized as one of the more influential guitarists around but so many. After being an Yngwie fan since 1984. I've come full circle to think Yngwie knew how good Steve Howe is and his fluid arpeggios and scales are. Probably not but its a thought.
Steve is my second favorite after David Gilmour.
I get a little bit annoyed of all the "least credited" and "underrated" comments sometimes . Steve was in the 70's one of the most influential, innovative and rated guitarists on the rock scene and he was voted Best Over All Guitarist in Guitar Player Magazine for five years in a row from 77-81. I would rather say that Clapton is overrated as he stopped being innovative after his period with Cream, and who the h.. is Luke? Steve Lukather?
Howe war In den 70er innovativ creativ und wirklich gut. Aber in der Weltspitze gibt es viel bessere als ihn. Er spielt sowieso in den letzten Jahren sehr unsauber, weil er ständig an der Grenze seines eigenen Könnens spielt. Es gibt schon alleine zwei Gitarristen mit dem gleichen Vornamen, denen er das Wasser nicht reichen kann. Steve Lukather und Steve Morse. Dann gibt es noch einige andere Größen an die er nicht ranreicht. Pat Metheny, Al di Melia, Alan Holdsworth um nur ein paar zu nennen.
Steve Howe gets his proper respect,and then some. And it's all well-deserved
At 1:52:46 to 1:54:52 we can hear Geoff's backing vocals although Geoff doesn't appear to be singing.
才能あふれるジェフ・ダウンズもっと痩せてくれ！そして長生きしてくれよ。
John Wetton owed a few live recorded Japanese performances after the 82 debacle
@scottburns2600 I have no idea what you are referring to. Since this is of interest to me, what are you referring to?
What debacle burnszy?
新宿厚生年金会館でのライブ、見に行ったんですよね🎵なんか、生きてて良かったなぁと感じた、奇跡のライブでした🌟しかし、アリーナで聴いてる人達は、本当に目の前ですねぇ✨
Я был рядом
A true SUPER GROUP!!!! Man were the 80's awesome!!!!
Asia changed 80's rock. Ask Heart or Yes or Whitesnake or a hundred other bands.
Asia ? OK but what about Yes, King Crimson, The Buggles, Emerson-Lake-Palmer, all crucial 70's 80's bands they all founded before Asia. Tonight they played a couple of songs from their former bands.
スティーブのギター🎸がとてもキレキレで嬉しい。に、しても走りすぎないドッシリとしたテンポで演奏するのは流石としか言えない👍👍👍👍👍
Geoff Downes - musical keyboard genius
One of my favorite Legend! John Wetton! Unforgettable!!!
学生時代に偶然ラジオで、ヒートオブざモーメントを聞いた時な感動はたまらなかった。それから何十年も聞きつづけている。自分に取ってのマイベストソング
アストラなんか未だに古さを感じないアルバムです。むしろ新しく感じるサウンドです。
I absolutely love Astra , wishing and too late are brilliant so is suspicion god damn the entire album is brilliant
Saw Asia in New Haven, CT on there 1st American Tour and it was Incredible. Wish I could find all those pictures from that concert. It kills me that they were lost. So amazing even back in 1982- 1983. 😊
Their entire first album was incredible from start to finish!
I totally agree!
👍👍👍👍👍
Gracias por compartir esté video, gran alineación, derrama de talento y virtuosismo sobre el escenario todos haciendo lo mejor y dejando que los demás hagan lo mismo, grupos como este va a ser difícil de igualar gran tino de WETTON al rodearse de GRAN TALENTO, WETTON te vamos a extrañar hasta siempre.
Prog rock gods!!!
Superb ASIA in Asia, give me the Heat of The Every Moment hearing them. RIP John Wetton.
Man that was a great performance, all in top form, especially wettons voice, having missed ELP live, this was a big treat for fans in the 80’ to have another supergroup, plus buggles song CMONMAN superb!!!
Miss you;
Kieth
Greg
John
Chris
Alan
John's in the f*cking zone isnt he? RIPOWER hero!
ジョンウェットンがあの複雑なベースを弾きながらラウンドアバウトを歌ってるのを見て感動してます。人間業とは思えん。やはりクラシック音楽がベースにあるので奥行きがあります。「ラジオスターの悲劇」までカバーしちゃうというサービス精神にも感心した。なんだかんだでエンターテインメントしてるよ。凄い。
大学卒業後､最初に参加したバンドはファミリーでした｡それからキング・クリムゾン、ユーライア・ヒープ、ロキシー・ミュージック、サッッド・カフェ、UK､ソロ…続く。
English translation: I'm impressed to see John Wetton singing Roundabout while playing that complex bass. I don't think it's human work. After all, classical music is the base, so there is depth. I was also impressed with the service spirit that he even covered "The Tragedy of a Radio Star". I'm doing some entertainment. amazing.✌
@@davidblank9564perfect✌️
I remember seeing them open with this on their 1st tour 🤯
When people talk about best drummers of all times why is Carl Palmer hardly got a mentioned? Please stop this crime!
Asia playing live is a group that sounds better than their studio albums but then coming from their backgrounds- Yes -- E.L.P -- King Crimson to just a few and their wide range knowledge of performing gigs to such large audiences it’s no wonder the sound is fantastic- Carl Palmer looks like he could be drumming into his 80 s
The first Asia album was the first album I ever bought. It was a beginning for me musically, because of all the great music that each of these guys did before that, which I would find out about soon enough. Memories and music I still enjoy 40+years later. I never heard this incredible record live performed by the 4 originals. Awesome!
TIME AGAIN IS MY FAVORITE ASIA SONG. HAD IT ON MY LICENSE PLATES
Indeed
Был на концерте Азия в Москве. Потрясающе. Веттон великий. Мне будет его не хватать до конца моих дней.
ウェットンやハウが抜けたりしてオリジナルメンバー揃って来日がやっと見れて最高だ、やっぱりこの4人のASIAじゃないとな。
ウェットン死んじゃったんだからハウ､エイジアでやればいいと思いませんか。
English translation: With Wetton and Howe missing, it's great to finally see all the original members coming to Japan.😉😇☺
昔の解説では音楽的意見の食い違いから故ウェットン脱退となっていましたが今の解説では❲アルファ❳の売り上げが大幅に落ちた為､責任を取らされるかのように解雇となっています｡どっちが本当なんですか?
Asia fue un super grupo que solo los amantes del rock progresivo respetamos y sabemos lo que representan, R.I.P John Wetton y Greg Lake ex miembro.
Damn that drumming solo
Wildest dreams....Great lyrics.
Back in the days, I saw Asia (Morse Code), Rainbow (Scorpions), Def Leppard (Krokus & Gary Moore) and Judas Priest (Great White) IN THE SAME F'ING WEEK !
The good ole days when tickets were $12 and beers were $3 ! And you got out with a tour shirt for $5 at the end of the show

the smile has left your eyes
Saw them live just after they released their first album.
The original lineup sounds great! They either used pre-recorded backing vocals or dubbed them in afterwards.
Samples?
Ride Easy !! I was one of those who bought the 45RPM
This a great surprise!
F.... me, I've things to do today but just can't turn this off.
Да, Джон Веттон -- великой души человек.
OMG! I fell in love with these guys when their first album came out and I was 13 then. I still listen to their Anthology album regularly and I’m now 54. They played a group of songs I adore. If you didn’t know what makes them a supergroup you should now. I could listen to “Here comes the feeling” 1,000 times over. Big King Crimson fan, ELP fan, and of course, Yes. This was a little slice of heaven to listen too! I really think John could have sung the ingredients off a cereal box and made it sound good. We lost him way too soon.
I was lucky to witness ASIA opening for YES on 7/2/09 @ the Warfield in San Francisco CA. BEST part was, the GREAT Steve Howe did double duty, playing both YES & ASIA sets!! PS: That was my 8th of x 10 YES concerts!!
I never noticed before but is Carl playing the roughly the same beat as ELP's Fanfare for the Common Man? Sounds like it.
Many thanks. Great band. One of the best of the 80s
and this, my son, is what music is about
Wetton is so under appreciated…what a voice. His version of Roundabout is great
Playing that Chris Squire bass line and singing the lead vocal at the same time is quite impressive albeit a fairly anaemic version altogether.
Cream of the crop musicians all!
Thank you, oh mighty Al Gorythm!
Asia, Rush, Genesis, these are supreme musicians in all three bands.
One of the best supergroup. Very special.!!
I agree with most of the comments here and I wish John Wetton had lived longer . He had a more to give. Only The Good Die Young ! Also I have to say how respectful the Japanese fans are and a well dressed crowd to boot
"Here it comes!"
高校生の時友達の車で流れていたヒート・オブ・ザ・モーメントを聴いた時に衝撃が走ったのを今でも覚えています 最高のグループです また最近よく聴いてます 沢山の方に聴いてもらいたいので勧めています ASIA最高
English translation: When I was in high school, I still remember the shock I felt when I heard "Heat of the Moment" playing in my friend's car. It's the best group. I've been listening to it a lot lately. I want many people to listen to it. I recommend it because it is the best in Asia😃☯✌
Songs from 4 Prog bands in one concert....WOW!
I always thought Fantasia was bittersweet. John Wetton missed out on Asia in Asia back in '84, which would have been a crowning achievement. This wasn't the Budokan, but recording this concert in Tokyo, 23 years later, was, I'm sure, some sort of redemption. And I wonder how many in the crowd were lucky enough to have been at both concerts. RIP rock star!
Love their version of Roundabout!
Uma constelação de estrelas. RIP John Wetton
Thanks so much for share this video, blessings. Great memories, band, performance, songs… Virtuosos
Super banda !!!! Siempre recordaré su paso por Argentina.
Fantastic!
43:47 A long time ago, in a magazine interview, he said he didn't play the blues at home, but he did, Great!
This is refreshingly tight and well done. Steve is able to stay in the pocket and deliver.
Excellent rendition. I could listen to this or the Yes version with no problem.
If you are going to go to the bother to reform then this is certainly the way to do it. Outstanding concert.
