Maverick Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 The opening suite on their first album is amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 A super band on the first album. The concept of replacing Allan Holdsworth on album number two with no guitarist at all still baffles me somewhat. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean who would they have got in 1978 who could play Allan's guitar parts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chemistry1973 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 A super band on the first album. The concept of replacing Allan Holdsworth on album number two with no guitarist at all still baffles me somewhat. I saw this lineup abut 10 years ago - Jobson, Wetton and Bozzio. It was killer - though of course I would've preferred Holdsworth and Bruford to be there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checking out a record he did with Gary Husband (who played with Holdsworth). So far so good. Edited December 11, 2020 by chemistry1973 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only claim to fame with Wetton is seeing the last ASIA performance in SF when they did the first album all the way through before bolting to Japan. Never saw UK. Bummed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurabw Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 I was lucky enough to see them once, they opened for Jethro Tull in like 1980, it was one of my first if not first concerts. I'd seen them on MTV. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
