Holy crap. The guitarist is ROCKING it... and he's slammin' down on a Squier Affinity Series Strat ! He nailed Mandy eyer's great guitar work on Go. And I'd say he nailed Howe too, on SS. This is fun to check out! Only 1 original member. But man... these guys are great.
I’m torn. Asia, as I know it, is history. But I can’t begrudge Downes for his right to make a living and play his music. What else is he supposed to do? If it makes people happy, play on.
Yes! Fantastic post. I mean... it ain't Asia any more with just 1 original member. Even maybe if Carl were still doing it.... maybe. But I also agree - I'm glad the music is still alive. Always LOVED this Band, and their music. And like you said.. what's Downes supposed to do? Roll over and die ? I guess hey - do your thing! This great music is still alive!
He's actually a protege of JW that had worked with John many years ago. Looking at these videos from different venues, I think he did an excellent job!
Looks like a garage band that's not quite ready to play the clubs. Only one original member, the keyboard player Geoff Downes. The other guys just don't cut it!
With the death of John Wetton, the ASIA chapter came to an end. Only Geoff Downes now keeps the flame alive..These guys have made a respectable effort to keep the ASIA songs alive....I hope for a long time to come...all great musicians,they have already created a lasting legacy.
@@boodles07 Greg Lake didn't hit the high notes on this tune either when he filled in. lol This was the last song before the encore, singer hit some incredible, sustained, high notes during the show (saw them last nght in Tampa).
Back with a heavy sound, Asia knocked it out of the park on this tour. Keep it alive and return tour please!
So bloody great to hear these songs live again. I only hope they come my way.

I'd say this is pretty good 👍
Bravo ASIA❤️❤️❤️
It was a great night
John Mitchell great guitar player.

Virgil Donati Playing Drums ??????
Beasts, but they need a set designer
The only original member is Geoff Downes. He should re team with Trevor Horn in the Buggles.
No carl palmer or steve howe wow
How is Virgil able to play simple stuff like this?!
Because the hard thing to get in life Is make things easier

Bravo! Perfectly well stated.

@@jimmyz2098 "Glad the music is still alive"...at this level, I might add.
Is that not Carl Palmer?!
@@memorythree Virgil Donati
@@lordofthe80s64 wow. Had me fooled!
Who are these dudes
The ones that are keeping the music of Asia still alive 👍😀👍
This guy on bass and vocals seems to be a bit of a Wetton clone - same bass, style of dress, hair… sure that’s not intentional😊
The bass actually is one of JW's. It was lent to him by John's widow, Lisa.
Wow… that is cool. BTW Sorry if my comment came across as insincere and that this was deceitful. Not the intent

Especially the drummer , he really needs to work on his rudiments and timing.
This isn't Asia!! WTF!!!! Is this some kind of joke??

Terrible. Sorry not sorry. Let the songs live properly in our memory not by having a vocalist that can’t hit the notes struggle live. It’s awful.
Where have you been bruh? In a can?
