Product description

Legendary English rock supergroup Asia is pleased to announce the release of their live album "Asia – Live In England". Asia are back and rock the stage in their new, rousing line-up! Recorded on the first of three unforgettable evenings at Trading Boundaries in Sussex in April 2025, this release presents the band with their iconic 1982 debut album "ASIA" in its entirety, as well as a selection of their greatest hits. Featuring Geoff Downes (keyboards), Virgil Donati (drums – ex-Planet X), John Mitchell (guitar – Arena, It Bites etc.) and the outstanding Harry Whitley (bass and vocals), this new incarnation of Asia brings both respect for the classics and a rousing new energy to the stage. The setlist includes fan favorites such as "Heat Of The Moment", "Only Time Will Tell", "Sole Survivor", "One Step Closer" and "Time Again" as well as songs from the video era and bonus tracks such as "Ride Easy", "Video Killed The Radio Star", "The Heat Goes On" and "Daylight" (exclusively in the video). Geoff Downes said: "Replaying the first ASIA album in its entirety has brought back all the great memories from 43 years ago. In the studio with John, Steve, Carl and of course the great Mike Stone as producer. I think we knew then that we had made a good album, but we couldn't have foreseen the enormous success that followed and made the band known worldwide, especially in America. This was the result of hard work and a lot of effort from everyone involved. So when I got the opportunity to put together the live album with the current and fantastic line-up of ASIA and in collaboration with Frontiers Music, the decision was actually clear." "I became aware again of the great songs and performances that make up the album – diversity and musical dynamics are in the foreground. When we re-recorded it earlier this year, some of the lesser-known pieces stood out to me in particular, and I realised how important they are to the work as a whole, alongside of course the classics like 'Heat Of The Moment', 'Only Time Will Tell' etc.," he continued. "We did this for you, the fans, and we hope you enjoy listening to these songs live in full length as much as we enjoyed composing and performing." With Asia's 40-plus year history – from million-selling albums like "ASIA", "Alpha" and "Astra" to its formative role in the sound of the MTV era – this new line-up proves that the Year of the Dragon is bringing the legendary songs to life for a whole new generation of fans.
