Asia/MA,USA 1983

In memory of John Wetton. From the summer North American tour after the release of the second album “ALPHA” in 1983, the August 19th Worcester performance was recorded in 102 minutes from the audience master, which was considered A-rank at the time. Wetton left the band in October of that year, and the performance in Japan with Greg Lake is well known to fans, so this is one of the few precious live recordings from the end of the original ASIA. And except for the bass cracking at the beginning of the opening “Wildest Dreams”, the rest of the performance was recorded with miraculous quality, especially from around “The Heat Goes On” at soundboard level. In addition to the standard set, the super rare number “The Last To Know” was set in, and it was probably only played a few times, and this was the last performance on that day, and it was replaced by “Daylight” from the next show, so fans should check it out.
