Honestly I've been an Asia fan since the early 80's, grew up loving their stuff then grew to not care for them so much thru the 90's and beyond as they went through various members (Asia is not the same without Wetton's unique voice). But nonetheless I am one of the diehards that will buy it if it has the Asia logo on it (CDs/LPs/PicLPs/Quadra/etc). I was totally thrilled when I found this as it had the original 4 members performing live - their Live CD's are good, though they are a bit lackluster in live DVD's (never actually saw them in concert back in the day). The Asia tracks are actually really good. I was just disappointed to find so much non-Asia stuff on the 2 discs - stuff from the bands they were wth prior to Asia. I would ahve rather had more of them with their own tracks than the mix of their predecessor band songs. That's really the only reason for the mediocre rating. Were it 2 discs of their stuff as Asia, which I'm sure they had enough of from the tour, I'd have probably slapped the other 2 stars on :-)

I have been an Asia original lineup fan for several years and both of their new recordings were quite a surprise. Songs are somewhat slower than original versions. Steve does a splendid job; guitar in 'Roundabout' sounds better than Yes 70's versions. Carl takes a step forward and is more audible than he used to be. Seems time has not affected Geoff in the least. Although John sings fine his voice denotes he may be tired at times. Artwork is beautiful. Recording and sound are good, not flawless.

I purchased Fantsia Live in Tokyo double CD cause have LP's Viny of King Krimsom & Yes and Steve Howe has a reputation for being an excellent guitarist so bought Asia's first CD in Years Phoenix and wasn't disappointed and as for the double CD Live in Tokyo Good if you're a fan 3 and a half out of 5 .

This is an excellent live album and captures the reformed group in stellar form. Asia were always about brilliant virtuoso playing and there's plenty of that on display here. Highly recommended.

This is a good live album, coming from someone who doesn't really like live albums. They sound great and can tell they are enjoying the ride. Hope they stick around a while
