It's so sad when we keep losing those who helped define and shape our lives and vocation!

Went on an ASIA kick today! Me too. I didn't realize there was a version that didn't include Howe, Palmer and Wetton. I ended up watching a live MTV broadcast concert from 1983 in which Greg Lake subbed for Wetton. He did an amazing job on short notice and the entire show was very good. I never knew Lake played with Carl Palmer outside of ELP. A bit sad to watch knowing both Lake and Wetton are now gone. |

Greg Lake was a lower baritone almost bass, singing high bari, bari-tenor stuff. Not one key change, no detuning. Hit every note perfectly without any strain. That really impressed me. A fitting tribute to both singing bass players. |

So last night I watched Asia Fantasia Live In Tokyo DVD, from their 25th reunion tour. Wonderful. Wetton was having so much fun, you could see it in the smile on his face. Great concert, such talent in all four members.

I met John when he was playing with Uriah Heep on the "Return To Fantasy" tour. Nice guy. Loved his singing voice. We connected on LinkedIn, one of the few things LinkedIn is good for. RIP, DFTR.
