Thoroughly enjoyed hearing this - a long time since I've heard from JP. I remember going to see the 'Silent Nation' tour at Wolverhampton Civic and being blown away, my only regret was there was no live material released from this tour. As I've been unable to find any material from the Asia feat, JP since the split and I will definitely be looking out for this release. I, for one, will remember the JP period as well as the JW period wth equal delight and am more than happy to see that both versions are flourishing (even though SH has departed once again!)

Me too I saw the band on the Silent Nation tour. It was in Copenhagen, and it was a mini-festival with three bands: Asia, Uriah Heep, and Dio. I actually came primarily to see Uriah Heep, but while I was somewhat disappointed with Heep's performance (some technical problems), both Asia and Dio were excellent!  

If you are not already familiar with GPS, you should check them. It's Guthrie Govan, John Payne, and Jay Schellen, with Ryo Okumoto on keyboards. Like a bit more progressive Asia.
