    I remember when I saw this on MTV way back in the day. I had no idea about the John Wetton drama at that time, but knew right away that it was Greg Lake on bass and vox. Took me years to find out why. He did an admirable job on short notice, but he didn't quite hit the Wetton notes.

    I remember watching this in December, 1983.
    This time period with ASIA was a bit strange. JW was out, Greg in; then for ASTRA in 1985, Greg was out, Steve was out, JW back. ASIA ASTRA a solid album was released in late fall 1985 and did not do to well despite a solid quality group of songs...
    I followed all the band members, and still do today. Greg and JW, missed, greatly...

    Here's one a lot of people don't know, the relationship continued after this, Greg and Geoff did an album together. Ride The Tiger. Think In The Hot Seat. Not that great but has some good moments. But a better version of Street War Than on In The Hot Seat. Would have been great to hear their version Man in the Long Black Coat. Greg's voice sound really good.

    Well have been an Asia fan since first heard sole survivor back in 82, apologies to Greg Lake fans, but this was a carrer killer for the band. Fans were left in total confusion as to where John Wetton was me included and sorry just not the same without Wetton on vocals and Bass! Lake was an obvious choice on short notice and does ok, yet it is simply not the Asia that you heard on your radio and Wetton is sorely missed. I saw the original 4 twice in 82 in STL and 2008 in Milwaukee, also have the reunion dvd from tokyo so I will watch a couple videos from this show, but not buying the dvd set.
