Miss this man / legend. I feel my life changed in 1982 when i first heard this song riding in the back of a pickup with friends. Its one of those rare moments when you hear a song for the first time and instantly fall in love with it.
Like yourself, I remember the first time I heard this song. Yes had gone on hiatus after the Drama album but were reforming with a new guitarist (Trevor Rabin) and were going mainstream with Owner of a Lonely Heart I was kind of bummed. Yes isn't Yes without Steve Howe. When I read that Steve Howe and Geoff Downes were working with John Whetton and Carl Palmer, I was stoked. Of course we had no internet to verify anything so I just figured it was a rumor. Some friends and I were sitting around smoking, um cigarettes...and this song came on the radio. I was blown away. I was glad Steve Howe was away from Yes because this was much better than the crap Yes had come up with at the same time
The Reason why I love Asia 1) I love the their songs composing 2) I love Yes (Steve Howe, Geoff Downes) 3) I Love ELP (Karl Palmer) 4) I love King Crimson (John Wetton)
Until now at the age of 57 I never knew whose voice sang this song, I only knew it was Asia. It was a song from my youth in the very early 80's. Its reminds me of someone I loved very much at that time. Her name was Janet and we were just teenagers. Today I listened again and it made me smile and cry. I smiled for myself but cried for everyone who loved this song. RIP John. 🙏 Thank you.
Una super banda de grandes orígenes Yes ELP Bungles King Crimson una historia prolífica de gran música en sus haberes y la voz aterciopelada de John Wetton vivirá para siempre
Howe's tone is horrific. No sustain and rather dead sounding. Not a fan of Line 6, especially for overdrive tones. Great tune, though. Loved it when Yes kind of mocked it at the beginning of "Owner of Lonely Heart."
Disappointing guitar solo here by Steve Howe at around 3:25. I’ve always thought of him as a guitar virtuoso & genius however he messed up this particular solo. Otherwise, Asia sounds great and Steve Howe is a master guitarist.
Hoy me entero del fallecimiento de John en el año 2017 una pena la verdad que Dios lo tenga en su gloria buen músico gracias por ese pedazo de tema que nos dejastes Heat of the moment nunca te olvidaremos descansa en paz
Okay, so John Wetton had passed away? It is still great to see Steve Howe playing guitar and Geoff Downes on bass. Is Karl Palmer still alive and playing here in this video? And I must admit that now seeing John Wetton here being associated with "King Crimson", I am just NOW hearing that John Wetton is associated with KC. And, I had mentally associated Karl Palmer with a band with ties to ELP. Also the band YES to Asia. That one, I am NOT sure if I can tell you how I have linked THOSE band members up.
@@landhopper4296 okay, thanks for the info. I had been sure they had ties to those bands. I've never heard any King Crimson songs as far as I knew, but, Robert Fripp had made a record with Andy Summers from The Police, and I had that record, it was called "I advance masked", or something like that, and was all instruments with no vocals. It's not my usual type of music, but, I liked Andy Summers as a teenager, so, I liked it.
