@pinkfloydrule27 Astra was a stronger CD than Alpha ... even despite Steve's absence .. Had some really kick-ass songs ... "Too Late", "Rock & Roll Dream", "Go", and "Hard On Me" are all stronger than about anything on "Alpha" (except maybe "Open Your Eyes")
ive always been fairly critical of asia (i suffer from severe 80's phobia!!!) but pheonix was one of the best albums i have heard so far this century and since hearing it have started too listen too asia and alpha properly and both are great albums, although i think after steve left it really did go downhill even though it's really geoff downes' band he needs these 3 with him too make it work
I'm fans of both Yes and Asia! I missed Asia early this past April :-/
I regret missing that, so I hope they tour here in the states again!
And as far as Yes, I hope the tour goes through as planned, 'cause I've always wanted to see them live - I'm a youngin', so I've never seen them either :-p
Excellent! I've seen these guys 3 times since they reunited and this 2008 tour was the best of all 3 shows. I just wish they would've played more from Phoenix. Thanks for this upload!
Wetton's voice sounds a little ragged, this night ... But this is a great song, melodically
