Always liked Asia. When they first came out I thought they had some pretty innovative sounds. Wish I could have made the show here in Philly last week but other issues kept me away. Glad to know they are still rocking their asses off.

How is John Wetton sounding these days? I always did like his voice. Then there's Steve Howe, who looks older than dirt. The guy can play but he looks like one of those guys on "Raiders of the Lost Ark" after their skin was melted off.

Palmer is an amazing drummer. I've always loved his work, especially with Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

:lol: :lol: Too funny....and TRUE, unfortunately....:oops: He looks like that Lead Guy that had the Medallion burned into his hand. :shock:

Dude....he was BEYOND PHENOMENAL.

Almost didn't recognize him.....he's got a buzz-cut now.

Another great review it is to Jimmy!
I am pumped, really thinking Hubby and I will see this
show in the heart of Mowtown July 6th.
All I need now is to sucker my Mom into taking our
Little Lords for the night.
I can almost taste this show, thanks again for the heads up RockInDetroit!

You want to see some amazing drumming. Check this out. It's Palmer playing only a snare drum. Beyond belief. Check out the last 30 seconds or so :shock: :shock:
