Search - Asia :: Live Around the World (Dig)

Live Around The World delivers what it promises; all of the band's epic anthems recorded in various locations--Barcelona, Moscow, São Paulo, Tokyo, England, and San Francisco--where they revisit their classic debut album, performing it in its entirety. The Heat Goes On! * Instantly labeled a supergroup at the time of its formation, Asia was formed in 1981 by musicians hailing from the progressive rock bands Yes, King Crimson, Emerson Lake & Palmer, and Uriah Heep.
* Asia's eponymous debut album has since long been considered a supreme AOR (adult-oriented-rock) effort, produced by Mike Stone in the grandiose classical rock tradition and packaged complete with distinctive Roger Dean sleeve artwork.
* The album spent an impressive nine weeks at #1 in the American Billboard charts and consequently sold nine million copies, with the singles "Heat of the Moment" and "Only Time Will Tell" reaching the charts in the US.
