Customer Reviews of Asia - America: Live in the USA

Incredibly insipid.
Man, I have mixed feelings about this one. First of all, in a time of MTV-destroyed music (with things like J-Lo and Beyonce ruling the charts) any chance of an echo from the past is well received.
So, I went to check this DVD, even knowing that "ASIA" was not playing in it. The "real" ASIA must have Wetton, Palmer, Downes and Howe or, at least, the former three with another guitarrist.

The result is a bunch of great songs played in a unintersting way by a strange band, with a faceless guitar player, a "I've Played With Them All" drummer (Chris Slade), a potent new singer and a sleepy Downes. Really not enjoyable, my friends.

The NEW ASIA
Do not listen to the Nay sayers on this. They either dont know anything about music or need their heads examined. Although not as Great as the Original line up of Howe,Downes,Palmer,& Wetton -the new Asia is pretty good and have put out some good ablbms (check out: Aria, Arena, and Aura) The concert is a good one and the sound is good also. I wish they would have kept the interviews sepreate and included the entire concert (solos and a few acoustic songs missing) Put as a whole Asia is still a good band putting out some soild music a million times better than the Crap that is out there today. If you were an Asia fan you will enjoy this or if you are new to them give em a try they are pretty good. As artists they are exploring new directions not just relying on Past hitts or staying as a greatest hits machine?? after all that what true artists do, explore new directions not relying on old ones to get them thru. The people who gave this a bad reviews -simply dont know what they are talking about-and they probibly enjoy listening to people like William Hong (IDOL REJECT) and they think that is music.

VACATION IN ASIA
Asia is a wonderful country to visit! I tell all my friends about what a wonderful place with such funny little people! I recommend that we all go to Asia. It's a great country, except for the communism.
