    Asia was such a great band. This is a supergroup made up of John Whetton from King Crimson, Steve Howe of the band Yes, Geoffe Downs from Yes and the Buggles and Carl Palmer from the group Emerson, Lake & Palmer. But this song hit MTV with a force in 1981/82. The harmonies are freaking amazing. Gives me chills. With your headphones on you pick up each instrument distinctively. Great pick and reaction! Should be noted that Asia still tour today but John Whetton passed away in 2017 unfortunately. RIP John.
    MTV was brand new in 1982 and looking for content. Most bands did not have real videos and had to put something, anything together to give rotation on MTV so you will see a lot of early videos that just don't make sense or are completely void of meaning. Budgets for video were none existent since the medium had not yet shown that it was profitable for music. That would quickly change and record companies would then push big dollars into video content. It made many bands successful, and even ruined some careers ( Billy Squier). But looking back on some of these video's as cheesy as they are, they were great for those of us growing up in this era. We were mesmerized by it. Our eyes glued to the tv.

      The reason they were referred to as a "supergroup" seems kind of obvious with a tune like this. A great example is that, as another points out, drummer is Carl Palmer, the percussion genius from Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

      @@pjg58x Absolutely! Th first 45 single I bought myself (was bought others by family before then) was The Buggles - "Video Killed the Radio Star" (at the age of 11 and was probably a similar age to the little girl on the video). I still love the track just as much now (and Trevor Horn's bass too). I was 14 when Asia (debut album) came out and the first track I heard of course was "Heat of the Moment". That was it - I had to have all their music (and I do) + piano/tablature music. I had the Asia logo on the back of my denim jacket as a teenager (+ AC/DC, Rainbow, Magnum, Saxon etc 🥰). Took ages! I've always loved Asia and still do.

As a little kid I loved Renaissance "Northern Lights" (th-cam.com/video/0rarW1JycOE/w-d-xo.html ) - one of the first songs I learned to play on the guitar (had to learn barre chords because it's in E major). When I heard the rest of the album (A Song For All Seasons) I think my dizzy little head exploded! Real prog rock! Dad introduced me to Genesis, Yes and Uriah Heap. A friend's Dad introduced me to Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd and the Moody Blues. A classmate introduced me to Rush. I think hearing epic bands at a young age spoils you.

    The video is very impressive and entertaining.
    Thank you for reading this and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
    I’m 67 and alone in life and I have to admit that Amber & J have become like honorary family to me I’ve come to love them like family, anyway, I hope that that isn’t embarrassing.

    One of my favorite bands of the 80s Asia is a very underrated band. Many good songs from Asia include "Don't Cry", "Prayin' for a Miracle", "Rock and Roll Dream", many more. Love your reaction.

    Absolutely LOVE this one! My favorite of theirs by far! There's also a live version of this, performed with an orchestra, that I highly recommend. RIP John Wetton. He was sooo prolific across so many bands. Thanks for this reaction!

      @@petercourtien4581 the original lineup was John Wetton (King Crimson) Steve Howe (Yes), Geoff Downes (Yes) and Carl Palmer (ELP). Lots of personnel changes over the years. Greg Lake even sang with them for a time.

    Some of Asia's other hits such as 'Sole Survivor', 'Wildest Dreams', 'Midnight Sun', 'Time Again' as well as 'Heaven Help Me Know' from Wetton's last album before passing from cancer, RIP, are among some of their best. I'll never forget seeing Asia live on their first tour at SPAC in Saratoga New York back in the early 80's when they released their first album. The band came out on stage dressed entirely in white and then delivered such a tight set that you weren't sure if you were listening to the studio album or not. They allowed each musician his own spotlight throughout the performance, professional, polite and extremely humbled by the crowd's reaction. It was one of the best concerts of my youth and to think they only had one album out at the time.

    @kbrewski1 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    If you've only done this (great song) and Heat of the Moment, here's what you've got to hit:
    1. SOLE SURVIVOR (proggiest, usually the encore)
    2. WILDEST DREAMS
    3. HERE COMES THE FEELING
    4. MIDNIGHT SUN
    5. WITHOUT YOU
    Asia was a Progressive Rock Supergroup.

    Steve Howe Guitar (YES)
