CD Reviews

Great concert in the USSR.
Chris Letempt | Marietta, GA United States | 08/18/2002

"Dont listen to the snobby reviewers here. This is a great Asia concert. The Russian audience add a really cool energy to the whole thing. John Wetton is still the frontman of Asia for me. His performance is really good. Geoff Downes also has an awesome solo including "Video Killed the Radio Star" on here!You can tell these guys are having a ball up on stage. This was a pretty rare event back in those days of Cold War Soviet Era politics. The concert video/documentary is really good, too. This album is definitely a must for any Asia fan. Now, if they just would have done a prog version of "Volga Boatmen"!"
Nice Asia live album

"Asia studio records are so heavily produced that when they perform alive it always seems that something is missing. However this is an excellent live album, regardless the fact that Pat Thrall is not as good as Steve Howe."
Good Stuff

"This is a really good disc. The band do a great job interpreting their hits from the 80's with a new guitarist. If you're expecting the songs to sound just like the studio versions on Asia, Alpha and Astra, you'll be disappointed. But they sound great anyway, at least if you're like me and actually like a little something different thrown in.



For the most part, that something different is Pat Thrall. No, he does not sound like Steve Howe, and yes it took me some getting used to. He definitely brings his own sound to the mix, but it's still good. The only song where I really missed the embellishments of Howe is "Only Time Will Tell," where Thrall, who is very good, takes a back seat for some reason and lets the other three carry the song while he plays mainly chords (which are very low in the mix on this song.)



Also, he makes an interesting choice on "Sole Survivor," where he only plays power chords (with a cool distortion tone) for the whole song except the end, where he lets rip with a very un-Howe like solo. I also like his solos on "Don't Cry," "Heat Of the Moment" and "Rock And Roll Dream." So I actually admire Pat Thrall for bringing his own sound to the group, although he proves he can play Howe's parts on "Time Again" (which makes his understated performance on "Only Time Will Tell" more puzzling.)"
