I first saw them in concert on the Alpha tour. They were amazing then, and they are playing even better now. I have a hard time thinking of another group where I would have been disappointed not to hear a solo from every member. Every one of them did a memorable solo.

The performance focused on the music. There wasn't a huge stage show, and there didn't need to be. It was just four great musicians playing music I love.

I'm glad they played a couple of their newer songs and I wish they'd done more. I know they have to play the classics that made us fans to begin with, but they're still writing great new stuff.

If you're an Asia fan, they still have it. Don't miss them.

I went to this concert with the expectation of hearing Asia's hits along with a few songs from their latest CD. It was that and so much more! They played a few songs, then Steve Howe did a couple of guitar solos. Wow! I was amazed by his talent. After a few more songs there was a drum solo. I was in awe of the talented drummer. I have been to many concerts and have never heard a drum solo like that. He brought the house down. It was incredible. Asia was spot on. They sound just as good now as they did in the 80's and left the crowd wanting more. See them, you won't be sorry!

I went with my wife to Atlanta to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Her gift to me was the Asia tickets. I had not seen them since the Spectrum in Philadelphia after their first and second albums. I went to both shows back then and they were excellent 30 years earlier.

We had gone to Madonna two nights before and is was just....really really bad. No words can explain how bad it was. I fealt horrible for my wife as she was very disappointed. Since she was not the biggest Asia fan I was also concerned she would be disappointed again. That changed the moment Asia hit the stage.

Asia made up for horror of two nights before. They were just amazing. It was by far one of the best concerts I have ever attended. The sound quality and musicianship was top notch. The venue was perfect. You do not want to miss them this tour. If you do not have any of their newer music I strongly suggest you get some. Pheonix, Omega (my favorite) and 30 are all excellent.

I have wanted to see this band for 30 years now and it was well worth the wait.

John Wetton still has an amazing voice! Loved Steve Howe's guitar, Carl Palmer's drums, and Geoff Downes keyboards. These guys were awsome and sound as good as they did the early 80's.

Then band played every song from their '82 debut album with many other greats from over the years and some from the latest XXX CD.

I would DEFINATELY see them again

Great show! I really appreciate great talent and professionalism on the stage. All four members really showed their true talents and I will make every Asia show from now on when they tour through Atlanta. Great venue and good set list! I can only hope each one of these musicians can get in to the hall of fame, either with their original band, solo act or as collectively as Asia. I highly recommend for any rock n roll and musician connesieur to attend.

One of, if not the best concert I've ever seen. These guys are the epitome of musicianship and showmanship. I sat in awe of some of the world's best performing a no nonsense, no-frills, just damn good music show. Was I really seeing such world re-nowned musicians in a less than sold out ( when doors opened), 1500 seat theatre, in such an intimate setting? Played 2 full hours not including 20 minute intermission. For a $35 ticket? Obscene. These guys have lost nothing in their sixties.

I first saw Asia 30 years ago in upstate New York at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. Seeing them 30 years later was a real treat. It was a great show from start to finish. It had eveything - Steve Howe solo, Carl Palmer solo, and a nice duet between John Wetton and Geoffrey Downes. Old favorites and new ones.

I just wish they played more from their three previous albums and XXX is their best to date. But, I saw Face on the Bridge live and that was a nice treat.

I have their Fantasia Live from Tokyo from their 2007 tour and was just hoping to hear Fanfare for the Common Man or Video Killed the Radio Star. But, they did not play anything from their previous bands.

If you haven't seen the original ASIA perform together, you are missing out! Each one a legendary artist in his own right, but together .... a powerhouse that brings the crowd to their feet, singing along, and leaving you totally satisfied---but still wanting more!

Steve, Carl, Geoff, and John are all incredible performers. I thought John was in excellent voice and totally rocking that bass. Geoff's keyboards were right on the mark (so many memorable melodies!) and you could tell he really loved playing for us. Steve Howe...what can I say....there is no one else that plays with such precision and produces such a clean and crisp sound---simply the best. Carl Palmer has got to be one of the most exciting drummers you will witness. His enjoyment totally shines through with every beat---and gives one of the most memorable drum solos you will see in your lifetime. Thank you guys one and all!!

Do yourself a favor --- Do not miss an opportunity to see these guys perform!!

Last time I saw Asia I had to drive to Arkansas. This time I just drove an hour from Athens. Found VP alright, was not too hard to find a parking spot. The place was packed. I started out sitting in back.

The band started out with "Only Time Will Tell" then went into "Wildest Dreams". They sounded as good or better than before. The audience was very appreciative and energized and I think the band fed off that, because they ripped into the rest of the songs with energy and emotion. I moved down near the stage about 1/3 of the way through the show and was able to watch these awesome musicians from about 50 feet away. It was extremely loud down there though! I thought in the first half of the show the keyboards were not loud enough in the mix but this seemed to have been fixed in the second half. Geoff of course sounded great. JW has not lost a step. None of the guys have. Steve seemed to be doing a lot of different, interesting things, throwing in riffs I had not heard before in their songs. He was amazing as always. Carl Palmer really drove the band's sound with his dynamic and powerful playing. Technically he showed off his brilliance. But he was also a great showman; his drum parts -- in which he was innovative as well as Steve -- produced great dramatic effects throughout the music. His drum solo was amazing, entertaining, stunning, humorous.

Steve's intense and unpredictable playing, Carl's powerful and dramatic drums, John's accurate and emotional delivery and Geoff's sounds, the loudness of a rock band going full blast inside a small playhouse, the lyrics of songs like "Holy War" -- all this combined for an intense and moving experience. In short, they rocked that place. And the crowd knew it and responded to it. Almost no one left until the end of the show, everyone was on their feet.

Thanks guys, for a great show, hope you enjoyed your visit to Georgia, and hope you'll come again soon.

The original line up of Downes, Howe, Palmer and Wetton did not disappoint this past Thursday evening. While you can visually see the aging of the band, the music hadn't lost a beat. The songs were dead on, note for note. Wetton's voice seemed unphased over time, and Steve Howe played like a true pro. After playing nearly every major hit, and after solos from most of the band, I left the concert feeling that I had just witnessed an historic event, one that I was proud to attend.

Great selection of Asia's first 2 albums, but only 1 from XXX (Face on the Bridge). They only played for 90 minutes, which was disappointing...no Whetton solo stuff, no ELP, no Buggles. Howe had a great solo. The venue was small enough to be close to the band.
