Asia,Yes Asia,Yes/MA,USA 2009

The latest sound source has arrived from the coupling tour of Asia and Yes, which ended on August 2nd amidst good reviews. On July 25, 2009, the performance in Cohasset, Massachusetts was recorded in full with the highest level of audience recording with plenty of sound pressure for both bands. What is surprising is the wonderful sound quality, and the performance of both bands, which is the 19th performance of the tour, is recorded with the ultimate highest sound quality. The hot venue is also recorded realistically, but the musical sounds are recorded in ultra-clear anyway, so you can immerse yourself in this wonderful recording with almost no stress. The attention is on the drum and bass sounds recorded with a lively, loud and lively sound that can’t be beat, and as for Asia, you can enjoy the amazing rhythm section of Carl & Wetton, which is more attractive than ever before throughout the whole story. The loud applause of the audience, such as Asia’s Fanfare For The Common Man, combines with the powerful performance to create a dramatic sound image. Wetton’s roaring bass and Howe’s eccentric playing are both very powerful, and you can enjoy a wonderful take that is full of charm different from ELP because it is not conventional. The wonderful sound of the ultimate microphone recording, which is impossible with line recording, is overwhelming, and even the classic Heat Of The Moment is so fun and fresh that you can listen to it. It is great that the sound is good, and you can see that the following Yes is recorded with a magnificent sound quality from the opening SE “Firebird”. Compared to Asia, the sound universe of Yes, which has a more delicate and complex symphonic sound, is reproduced with the best sound image. All the musical tones are captured with a transparent and crystal clear sound, and the way Alan and Chris’ rhythm section play resonates vividly with a rich presence is a masterpiece. The psychedelic sound image of Astral Traveler is also the best and a must-listen for fans. Owner Of A Lonely Heart is recorded with the highest sound quality as its name suggests, and the following Machine Messiah can also be enjoyed with a powerful performance. Roundabout has the best bass from Chris recorded loudly. The performance is also stable. Heart Of The Sunrise is a bit of an unusual performance. At the beginning, the whole performance goes into a speedy performance, and it becomes difficult to judge the start, and it becomes difficult to know where it is, and the timing is also messed up, but it can be said that the band does not seem to be disturbed at all. Benoit’s singing in this song is poetic and sounds quite good, but at the 6-minute mark, Benoit seems confused by the backing band’s self-taught ensemble play. The last song, Starship Trooper, is a solid performance on the other hand. This is a must-listen 3-disc title that captures the performance of the final stage of Asia and Yes’ dream joint tour, which will remain in the history of progressive rock, with the highest sound quality.
