First off, I love Steve H. But I'm I the only one who is noticing that in recent years his timing is often lagging slightly behind the rest of his bandmates? I want him so badly to nail it, but slightly off most times.
That intro is FUCKING EPIC. The first minute or so is a great opening...really, the whole song is just on fire. Steve's guitar really smokes on "Time Again".
Speaking as a lifelong Asia fan...they were lightweight 80's pop...that's why they stopped selling records...along the way they came up with some real gems, this is one.
@GrandFunker lightweight pop? they stopped selling records because the music industry went down the drain in the 80s and has been getting worse since then.
does anyone appreciate the complexity of their music, these guys are fu&%$#g amazing!! all four of them are masters of their instruments, the very best!!
I am a huge YES and ELP fan but never got into Asia. But watching this, the guy singing sounds alot like Greg Lakes vocal style from their last two studio albums.
Wow, this is awesome!!! Cant wait for the DVD to come out in the fall. To all those who said Steve Howe didnt (really) play guitar in ASIA - take a look at the master at work here!!!

Anyone who thinks Asia is "Lightweight 80s pop" needs to hear this song.

@Wayavas1337 You blame the music industry? Really? So the music industry was responsible for "Astra"? Somehow I don't buy that.

Greg Lakes only filled in for a short time, he was not the original singer of Asia.

Wetton was the original singer and it was him on their first two studio albums, not Greg Lake.

Are you kidding me? Steve Howe was a key component of Asia or Yes, or GTR, or anything band he is ever in.
