5.0 out of 5 stars HERE COMES THE FEELING !, Feb 2 2009

This review is from: Asia - Fantasia: Live In Tokyo: 2007 (DVD)

"Asia" live in Tokyo Japan marks the 25th anniversary of the band and fans will not want to miss out on this memorable performance. Eagle Rock Entertainment has done an incredible job with this DVD release. The video image is absolutely spectacular. The picture is crisp and clear and the colors are vibrant and sharp. I can't find any faults with the sound options; the 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS sound options are simply outstanding. The camera angles and editing are stellar and I wish every DVD concert was filmed like this one. In my opinion this is the best "Asia" concert DVD on the market and fans would be happy to own it.

I bought this concert DVD in the "Heat of the Moment" and it has quickly become one of my favorite concert DVD's. In March 2007 "Asia" band members Geoff Downes, Steve Howe, Carl Palmer and John Wetton reunited for this memorable 25th anniversary concert in Tokyo Japan. Hailed as one of the first super groups of the 1980's "Asia" definitely lived up to their billing as they ripped through 17 songs with great timing & precision. The bands' playing was just as incredible in 2007 as it was when they formed in 1982.

For me this concert DVD was everything I had hoped for and so much more. I'll admit that the guys are 25 years older and definitely showing their age but they haven't lost anything when it comes to their musicianship on stage. Steve Howe seemed to really enjoy the whole reunion experience and his guitar playing was outstanding to say the least. Carl Palmer's drumming in my opinion was truly awesome and he made it seem effortless as he went about his business as usual. Geoff Downes sounded much louder compared to the others, but he was still the showman on stage and his playing didn't disappoint. What can you say about John Wetton, his voice has truly stood the test of time and it's hard to believe 25 years has gone by. He was in fine form for this concert and he sounded as good as ever. He seemed to be in sync with the music and had no problem hitting all the notes

4.0 out of 5 stars Great show, but...., Oct 5 2007

This review is from: Asia - Fantasia: Live In Tokyo: 2007 (DVD)

The original cast of Asia (now a bunch of old guys - but accept no substitutes!!) Beutifully filmed, great sound, great performances......
A demonstration of prog rock through the ages, in all the non-Asia tracks. There is some logic to Yes's Roundabout (Steve Howe), ELP's Fanfare for the Common Man (Carl Palmer), and Buggles Video Killed the Radio Star (Geoff Downes). But Court of the Crimson King does not belong here, since the only connection is John Wetton's participation in an entirely different version of King Crimson several years later. No one on stage has any connection to this masterpiece, so who are they kidding? Otherwise, a thouroughly enjoyable show, and highly recommended. Great to see these guys together in such a great DVD, before they get any older, and it's too late.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sound Quality, Jan 13 2010

This review is from: Asia - Fantasia: Live In Tokyo: 2007 (DVD)

The sound quality on this Blu-ray is extremely poor. I own a fairly high end surround sound system and this disc makes it sound like a card board box. I think the sound engineers could have done way better on this. I have a large disc collection. This disc won't get much play for this reason.
