In 1982 I was a junior in high school listening to the hardest nastiest music that the in crowd was listening to.

I would listen to the radio and hear songs that were good but at that time I didn't no what was good and what was expectable.

Many years later I heard a song on the radio. Wow, I thought, this is a cool song I wonder who sings it. The announcer said it was ASIA'S HEAT OF THE MOMENT.
While I didn't think anything about it at the time, I wish I had.

 Then, later still, a friend recommend that I pick up ASIA's first CD, because this friend is very knowledgeable about music, I picked it up that was in 1996.

I listened to THE SMILE HAS LEFT YOUR EYES, after that I was hooked for life.
Then I listened to the rest of the album.

The next day, I went out and purchased all ASIA, including the John Payne cds.

But this is about John Wetton's ASIA. After listening to the CDs pictured here I had to find something live of ASIA.

When I purchased LIVE IN MOSCOW the video I turned down the sound on the video and up the sound on my 100 watt stereo.

 Another thing to look at is the artwork, its very cool.

I would encourage anybody to watch them live and not get hooked.

John Wetton didn't do much with ASIA as I an others would have liked but his accomplishments with the band can't be overshadowed.

ASIA is a live band that should be seen If the chance ever comes again.

 Some songs to pay particular attention to.

DON'T CRY, THE SMILE HAS LEFT YOUR EYES, THE HEAT GOES ON, THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT, ONLY TIME WILL TELL, SOLE SURVIVOR, AND WILDEST DREAMS, just to name a few make ASIA music the kind that will last for a long time.

I highly recommend John Wetton ASIA CDs for he is the original creator of them.

Also see my UK site for info, on John Wetton, and the many great songs he did with them.
