In January 2006 the four original members of Asia - Geoff Downes, Steve Howe, Carl Palmer and John
Wetton - quietly reconvened in a London hotel to discuss the possibility of a reunion in the year ahead -
the 25th anniversary of the release of their phenomenally successful, self-titled debut album. By the end
of the day an agreement had been reached. It was game on.
By the time the group reconvened for rehearsals in August, a full tour was in place. The entire debut
album would be performed alongside a selection of special acoustic numbers and a new concept for the
band; a series of musical snapshots from their pre-Asia careers.
In March 2007, the sold-out reunion tour finally reached the band's spiritual homeland, Japan. Captured
in Tokyo at the Shinjuku Koseinenkin Hall, this concert (presented on 2CDs and a DVD) features all of
Asia's best-loved tracks, notably Wildest Dreams, One Step Closer, Soul Survivor and Heat Of The
Moment, plus highlights from the individual members' back catalogues, such as Roundabout (Yes), In
The Court Of The Crimson King (King Crimson), Fanfare For The Common Man (ELP) and Video
Killed The Radio Star (The Buggles). Available as a dual format release for the first time, this stunning concert performance features all
the songs from Asia's smash hit 1982 debut LP (which produced no less than six hit singles) and
much more
The awesome sound of a band reborn and at the peak of their powers, supplemented by an even
more comprehensive DVD that reveals far more than any concert-goer could ever notice in the
