This recording comes from the 2nd night at The Marquee. It is an impressive set of Asia favorites, mixed in with a few of Robin's solo hits, a track from the Wetton/Manzanera album, a Beatles' cover, solos from Don Airey (is there a band this guy hasn't played with?) and Carl Palmer, plus 2 studio tracks! The sound quality is OK [not superb], recorded on video cam and the desk (according to Robin). But this should appeal to Asia and Wetton fans, as a rare and historical set, and I've heard much worse! And judging from the crowd and John's performance and intros between songs, it must've been a good evening. This show has been bootlegged previously, from different sources, [curious about the absence of a few songs here (!?)] *Studio track "Wasted Time" features John and Robin, while "Johnny" is a solo track from Robin – "Johnny was written for all the friends I've loved and lost, but inspired by a real close friend!" |
