This song was absolutely MASSIVE in late '82 and '83, it was everywhere. AM, FM radio, record store displays and popular culture of the day. It couldn't be avoided and it was a great tune. A defining song of the early 80s.
The great thing about great music (or any music) is that you learn every day even at 65 years old I wasnt aware Asia were a 'super group' there you go.....Oh and its one hell of a song,,,,,,
I saw this wonderful band in the early 80's, in a venue northeast of Baltimore (I forget the name), where my musical friends and I saw many fantastic concerts, including Frank Zappa, Al DiMeola with Steve Gadd on drums, and the Guitar Trio of DiMeola, John McLaughlin and Paco DeLucia. Asia was a high point. Wetton's voice was always mesmerizing. Palmer drums were pounding, the band was really outstanding. Great memories!
Seeing these guys play this tune always makes me happy. It was THE song of my adolescence...played the album so many times literally wore the grooves off the vinyl. Plus this reunion they got around to after like 25 years apart really was so awesome to see! The way this tune breaks down to a friendly jam really showed how to do it too! So sad that John left us but the music always lives on.
Here's to John Wetton and what a performer he was and had the privilege to meet him back in the 90's and what a classy guy he was and so down to earth. Great concerts with Asia and his great voice and guitar playing will live on forever..👍👍😎
When I was enlisted to the army, I heard this gem and was very much blown away by the introductory guitar riff. Then I really discovered who Steve Howe really is!
@@griffin06001 to my knowledge he was the original guitarist in Asia, as well as Yes. Just an all around master of the instrument! one of my favorites!
@@daveguitarnowski4402 Peter Banks was the oiginal Yes guitarist BUT Howe is a better player, you will not find a better rock guitarist than Steve Howe 😊
@@johnsturtz sinxe Steve Howe came from YES to form with John, ASIA,.and Geoff had His YES wings... Well, you figure It out... My favorite guitarist Is Steve Howe, anyhow, anytime
What a great recording of a great performance! Steve Howe’s guitar sound on the intro was just start and absolutely great kick drum sound too. So we’ll done!
Steve Howe’s guitar performance was incredible. He intentionally played the guitar so incorrectly with the the guitar score to make the song much more beautiful. This is definitely a wonderfully awesome skill you cannot get.
Super Live Qualität!! Ich habe sie dreimal Live gesehen und bin so dankbar dafür! Mein erstes Konzert war Asia! Herrlich! Ich war 17 und musste sie sehen. Keiner meiner Freunde kannte sie und wollte mitgehen, egal, ich bin alleine hin. Diese Gruppe ist und wird immer meine Lieblingsband sein!
Like 'em or not for being commercial, it was great to see four such accomplished musicians together.Geoff Downes -criminally underrated - a fantastic keyboardist - as good as anyone (there, I said it). John Wetton, incredible bassist and phenomenal voice - RIP to one of my favorites ever. Carl Palmer - just one of the best, to this day, and Steve Howe, doing what he do, which is magic. Great video, thanks for posting!
Was incredibly privileged to see this line up at the tiny venue of the Cheese and Grain in Frome Somerset UK about the time of this performance. Was amazing my wife only knew about two songs before but loved it. John Wetton was superb - gone way too soon.
Awesome to see Carl Palmer and John Welton in their younger days. RIP John. Your music lives on. When I first saw this title, I thought it would be with Greg Lake on vocals since John had minor disagreement, and Greg was available to do vocals for a tour-thus putting Greg and Carl together again when ELP was having it's issues in 77/78.
SAY IT AGAIN!! The best of everything that defines a decade. HANDS DOWN! CASE CLOSED! We were extremely fortunate to have experienced that time during the prime of our youth.
I saw Asia at Wembley on the tour for this album. Really great gig, very distinct sound. Carl and Steve’s playing is less busy than with yes and Elp but it’s so distinctive and stylish. Asia were so polished.
So Amazing to see these Older generation Japanese People Loving this Early 80s Band,I Wonder what Year this is…Carl Palmer is Such a Great Underestimated Drummer,& Definitely Cool to see a Mix of Bands here….I remember seeing this Video in somewhere in the Early to Mid 80s
So sad he died young in his sixties from colon cancer. I'm 50 and getting my first screening this month. Yikes. But that cancer took him and Kirstie Alley far too soon. I got this Asia cassette for Christmas in 1982 and I will always love their music forever.
Never saw them live in the 80s but finally saw them for the reunion tour and the Omega tour as well as later with Sam Coulson and Billy Sherwood, then later with Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal and Steve Howe for a few of the songs on YES' Royal Affair tour. Great band.
John RIP great bass player and singer gone but not forgotten 🎸🎼🎤💔
They were having fun, they fed off the energy of the crowd and gave it back.
How lucky were Aisa to have one of the all time greatest guitarist playing for them
Absolutely. My dad always had Yes playing in his car, but Steve has shown time and again he can play and vibe to everything, and be mellow/adaptable
This song was absolutely MASSIVE in late '82 and '83, it was everywhere. AM, FM radio, record store displays and popular culture of the day. It couldn't be avoided and it was a great tune. A defining song of the early 80s.
RIP John Wetton from King Crimson and Asia. Dead but never forgotten 😭
Also Uriah Heep and UK.
An amazing musician from my home town of Bournemouth. Sooooo sadly missed. Died far too young .
Man those opening riffs
💪💪💪

The great thing about great music (or any music) is that you learn every day even at 65 years old I wasnt aware Asia were a 'super group' there you go.....Oh and its one hell of a song,,,,,,
I don't think I'll ever stop listening to Asia. RIP John W. You will always be one of the best 🎶.
ジョン、ウェットン！大好き❤ですR.I.P.
ASIAは、青春時代の最高のロックでしたネ😊ありがとう！
Rip John Wetton!! I was fortunate enough to see them live and they were four incredible musicians!!!!
He was in my school in the year above - great guy....
Saw them at the Long Beach arena back in 82 . When I was 20 years old in Box seats not old enough to drink
Would have loved that opportunity
Saw them at Blossom in Cleveland many years ago!!! Outstaying show!
I saw this wonderful band in the early 80's, in a venue northeast of Baltimore (I forget the name), where my musical friends and I saw many fantastic concerts, including Frank Zappa, Al DiMeola with Steve Gadd on drums, and the Guitar Trio of DiMeola, John McLaughlin and Paco DeLucia. Asia was a high point. Wetton's voice was always mesmerizing. Palmer drums were pounding, the band was really outstanding. Great memories!
I cried when I hear about John Wetton's passing. Because this was the definitive finale for the band.😭
Those guys looked like they were having fun.
いいねぇ。この４人が、１番いいなぁ～。最強。
エイジアのオリジナルメンバーは最高！
Asia : YOU... in my ❤ ever... go on!! loving you🦄🐎
I have to say that Steve Howe rocks as hard in his 70's as he did when he was in his 20's! Such an amazing talent!
I think he in his early 60’s here. He has slowed down quite a bit. ❤
@@monicadonnelly4991Also some of Steve Howe's arpeggiated riffing is uncharacteristically dissonant & sloppy here.🙉 WTF was that all about?!🤔
@@danielschear556
And if anyone deserves a rest it’s Steve. He’s worked hard
@@danielschear556 He did not play as precise with ASIA for some reason With YES he is always spot on
John Wetton and Greg Lake were two of the best rock voices of that era. Actually any era.
Just what I was thinking when I heard this.
Indeed! Well said!
And Jon Anderson ;)
@@sHART1780Yes
良い声で震えた
彼が残してくれたものに感謝
ありがとうジョン
Asia! The greatest supergroup ever constructed 🙏
Imo, Traveling Wilbury's and the Highwaymen.
Are you forgetting dirty Mac with john lennon Eric Clapton kieth Richard's and mitch Mitchell
The original UK with Bruford and Holdsworth was the best! Hahah!
Japanese are so respectful. They love our 80s music and so don’t I.
so don't I? what that mean lol
..and so do I....😉
この4人のコンサートを見るのが夢だった。そしてこの場で生で聞けたのは何よりの宝です。
最高だね。。。！😆
Those first 2 albums were untouchable.
Miss u Mr Wetton
This band and this song takes me back to a happy time - sophomore year at my college. RIP John Wetton.
Whitout hesitated , SUPERGROUP ever !!!! Never forget magic music ,
I can listen to Steve Howe solo all day.
I know I have, many days!
Way under rated.. Top 25 GOAT

Ausone band! Not so keen on the John Payne version though.
Fantastic song from the 80s
Steve Howe from Yes to Asia phenomenal.
One of the best groups and best songs of ALL TIMES!
What an amazing performance!! These guys made japanese people sing along
日本にはほんとにエイジアのファンがたくさんいますよ！！！
このメンバーでライブができたことはほんとに奇跡だと思います。
I'm guessing there are millions of Asians in Japan.
40 years ago, back in 1983, remembering the MTV Concert contest “Asia in Asia”.
Awesome concert
Here's to John Wetton and what a performer he was and had the privilege to meet him back in the 90's and what a classy guy he was and so down to earth. Great concerts with Asia and his great voice and guitar playing will live on forever..👍👍😎
Awesome! Walther my brother in heaven this one is for you, one of your fav songs!
Steve Howe and Carl Palmer ufff 💪🏼‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️🍷

チケット、高いんだよね。日曜のは売れちまったし。
Fantastic...Asia still has it!!!
Errr...
An incredible, eternal song of 4 musicians for whom Mother Music would be incredibly proud.
When I was enlisted to the army, I heard this gem and was very much blown away by the introductory guitar riff. Then I really discovered who Steve Howe really is!
His classical acoustical playing is incredible. He can do it all.
Welcome to Steve Howe a man amongst men as far as playing a hundred different guitars and any style imaginable
@@otisspunkmeyer9339 The very best guitarist
Fabulous band in an incredible performance! The Steve Howe guitar solo is epic 3:03
The best part is right after 3:28. Chefs kiss.
was Steve Howe from the original line up I know he was with Yes
@@griffin06001 to my knowledge he was the original guitarist in Asia, as well as Yes. Just an all around master of the instrument! one of my favorites!

@@smitbar11 ya know, due to lack of exposure to that version of the band ( I was just a child! lol) I forget about Banks.
John Wetton vocalista lendário, jamais será esquecido, RIP
Steve with his 'see what I did there' look
My superhero group of musicians..Love Asia
I've always been a huge YES fan, and have had great respect for ASIA!!!

I love this song 🎵 ❤️
Amazing musicians, amazing music .
It reminds me of my youth as well. Well done to those still alive and those dearly departed.
Saw Asia with this lineup in Atlantic City many years ago and they were incredible. Carl Palmer's drum solo
was an absolute clinic.
What a great recording of a great performance! Steve Howe’s guitar sound on the intro was just start and absolutely great kick drum sound too. So we’ll done!
I went to see Asia's LIVE at NHK Hall in Japan tour in 1994
i'm always your fan🇬🇧🇯🇵
please come to japan again
Awesome band and performance. Love Asia!
Steve Howe’s guitar performance was incredible.
He intentionally played the guitar so incorrectly with the the guitar score to make the song much more beautiful.
This is definitely a wonderfully awesome skill you cannot get.
このライブに行けた人は幸せですよ。
Thank you for all the amazing beautiful good music and memories.
The great guitarest in the world. Steve Howe. TD Atlanta
one could make the case for him, that's for sure!

I love everything Asia. All the albums, great music. Never gets old
I saw Asia las night in concert, they play awesome. Great song and unique in the history of rock and roll, This concert in Japan absolutely fantastic.
Sophmore year in high school. Loved this band! Wore this album out.

Vocals sound amazing!

Guitar hero anos 80, foi lá que conheci essa música incrível! Sensacional.
Outstanding. The old boys sound great!
The first time ever I entered a discotheque this song started to play on a big screen. Unforgetable moment. 🖖
Great job men John would be proud he lives on through you
The drums sound massive! Just a fantastic mix, kudos to the sound guy!
Such an elegant and beautiful voice.
Saw them at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center when they first came on the scene in the 80's. Great night.
Awesome to see Carl Palmer and John Welton in their younger days. RIP John. Your music lives on.

80's ..Best era EVER ..Love and miss it !

Best supergroup of all time. RIP, John Wetton.
They were prog pop
Not bad.
The original UK was the best!
wished i could've seen them live-great band-and song!
Saw them on first 2 tours. Great band
I saw this wonder in 2007 in Sao Paulo - Brazil. I couldn't sleep for 3 nights....and I still feel that I saw a dream...
An absolutely incredible performance!
Still love this group:) Love Go the Video is Awesome!
RIP JOHN WETTON ❤😢 voice of an angel 😇
They still sound great.
I hope I still have Carl Palmers energy when I get to that age.
You kidding, he is just 57 at the time of this concert.
A great progressive rock suoergroup. Awesome song. Cheers! ✌️
I have the DVD of this concert; this is my favorite version of this song.
I saw Asia at Wembley on the tour for this album. Really great gig, very distinct sound. Carl and Steve’s playing is less busy than with yes and Elp but it’s so distinctive and stylish. Asia were so polished.
Is that still the guy from Buggles on keyboards, he's awesome 😊
Still the Einstein of guitar!
I have spent Great Moments with music of ASIA 🤝🌎☺️👏
I saw them a few months ago in last December in Connecticut. All different band members from what is in this video.
I'm soooo happy to see this🎉
wonderful moment🎸
An Awesome Performance by Asia....They were an Amazing band.
Absolutely raw talent!
Fiquei muito fã do seu trabalho que Deus abençoe sempre sua vida susseso sempre

Pretty easy test, had a number over the years
From Turkey in 2023 still listening and I'll be listening as long as I live...❤
What a voice from Sean Astin!
Dang this song brings back a flood of memories...
Such Great Memories w/ that Album ❤️ Absolutely Fantastic
Excellent drum tone.
I saw these incredible geniuses 5 years ago.
Carl did the most amazing drum solo I've ever seen.
RIP Sir Wetton....
