  • okay but not great

    by t-dog on 2024-07-08OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino - Niagara FallsRating: 4 out of 5

    First of all I didn't realize there were three different bands playing before Asia came out. The first two were horrible. They were Curved Air and the remnants of Wishbone Ash. Focus was fantastic. It was a pleasant surprise to see them. Very professional and tight. Asia was also very good. I did enjoy them. I don't remember the advertisement for Asia clearly saying that three other bands would perform before Asia.

  • A fitting tribute

    by gcwr on 2024-07-08OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino - Niagara FallsRating: 5 out of 5

    Much has been written about this not being Asia because only Geoffrey Downes appears from the original band. But with John Wetton's widow Lisa's blessing, this extraordinarily talented group of musicians with long connections with Wetton in UK as well as Icon and the John Wetton band is more than up to the task of performing the iconic works of Asia. Harry Whitley's voice is uncannily like Wetton's and carries the emotional weight of the songs. An amazing evening and highly recommended for those who have a chance to book tickets later in the tour.

  • Little more than a cover band

    by Jerry on 2024-07-08OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino - Niagara FallsRating: 4 out of 5

    Bought the ticket last min at a reasonable price, 3 other acts that came on prior to Asia were late 60s - 70s and were entertaining, I had managed to recognized a few songs. Asia came out and sounded great! Played most known radio played songs, two original members remain and held little more than a cover band together.

  • Fabulous

    2 hours consumed by 3 opening acts far too much. Asia was fabulous. Sat back, closed my eyes and sang every song with them word for word. A great experience. Great sound & musicianship. Took me back in time.

  • Great show!!

    Asia was AMAZING!! Would have preferred a longer performance rather than 3 opening bands but good times anyway

  • Refined Excellence

    by Fallguy on 2012-10-15Bears Den At Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel - Niagara FallsRating: 5 out of 5

    Holy Moly!! I went to the Bears Den with high anticipation and was STILL jaw-droppingly impressed!! Carl Palmer and Steve Howe are always expected to be great but John Wetton and Geoff Downes were outstanding in their own right. This is clearly "Palmer's" band and I had forgotten how time-signature oriented Asia were. Watching them iive was a testament to the huge Rhythm influence led by Palmer FIRST, obviously Wetton's bass & the incredible Steve Howe's "Yes" soaked guitar licks. Geoff Downes made me wonder how (with all due respect) Rick Wakeman got SO much of the acclaim for Yes. John Wetton still has the vocal metal of a 25 year old and pumped our intimate house into a mild frenzy. Go get yourself a ticket and be treated to some of the old, the new and check out lyrics you can actually hear and decipher with heart and meaning! I don't need even mention Palmer's drumming as it REMAINS the stuff of Legend. What a great event!

  • Asia is extraordinary!

    by Thegreenwood on 2011-05-13Rating: 5 out of 5

    Incredible play, the band is wow! What a drum solo of Carl, I never sean one like that. Keyboardist Geoff Downes have sign to of my T-shirt, what a gentlemen! John Wetton is amasing singer and great at the bass. The words in these songs are full of meaning. And what the say of the unique guitar player Steve Howe and it fantastic solo. What a great and generous band. Mario B.

  • Asia

    by bramshkoo on 2011-05-12Métropolis - MontrealRating: 4 out of 5

    the real reason i went to see Asia was for Steve Howe and Carl Palmer. they did not dissapoint. Howe makes his guitar sing and there aren't many better drummers today than Palmer. overall, a very entertaining night from professional musicians.

  • Asia...best show ever!!!!!

    by Svensjl on 2011-05-11Métropolis - MontrealRating: 5 out of 5

    I have loved Asia since I was in High School way back in 1982. I was absolutely thrilled when I found out that they were coming to Montreal to do a concert with the original 4 members. I had seen Asia in concert once in the 1990's but it was with John Payne on vocals. That concert paled in comparison with this one. John Wetton is a much better singer than Payne. Steve Howe is a guitar God. I was in awe when I watch him play. Overall this is the best concert I've ever been to. Thank you Asia (John Wetton, Steve Howe, Geoff Downes & Carl Palmer) you guys rock!!!!!!!

  • ASIA show overwhelming!

    by Howie22 on 2011-05-11Métropolis - MontrealRating: 5 out of 5

    Finally after more than 25 years I got to see Asia perform live last night, and I was not disappointed! What a fantastic show, with a great mix of new and classic Asia. Omega stands on its own, but with the tracks from Phoenix and from the 80s the show was brilliant. The band sounded so tight, lively and genuine, and at times I had to close my eyes to keep from being overwhelmed. Great show guys and thank you for your hard work and being back. See you next time you're in Montreal!
