ASIA LIVE: 09-XI-90 MOCквA

This is the best album by this band that I yet have heard. The time and place possibly sets the crowd to quite enthusiastic mood, certainly affecting the band's feeling to perform also. There's good selection of songs from the two first Asia albums. Sadly Steve Howe is not anymore on the guitar, I guess the Yes reunion and his solo recordings felt more interesting. From the classic line-up John, Carl and Geoff are present, and there are also few covers of King Crimson ballads on the set list. I don't think they were essential for listening at home, but can imagine how important it was for the listeners at Moscow in 1990. If one would like to have one album by ASIA, I would recommend getting this. There is also a video been shot from this concert, if seeing the musicians and the event would intrigue in addition of hearing.
