This was great. Not easy for anyone to fill dsomeone else's shoes. Great job by Greg Lake here! Miss both Greg & John!!!

I can't say I like Lake's version of this song better than Wetton's... but Greg will always be one of my favorite vocalists. He was amazing with his own songs. Asia was very lucky to get such a high caliber stand-in for this concert tour.

Drums of a dervish, voice of an archangel.

Goddamn it, I'm in tears again. Hits me right in the 80s.

What was great about having Greg Lake join Asia was that John Wetton and him had a similar vocal timbre so the formula worked perfectly.

This is a absolute fan-tastic song I am a Yes and ELP fan what a combination💗 Asia certainly is the best band I wish I could of seen them RIP Greg❤ your memory will always be in all our hearts

I think Greg Lake sang this song WAY BETTER than the original!! Such a talented and lovely man. Greg Lake, you are surely missed. Rest in Peace, Lucky Man! 😢❤

Amazing performance, and more amazing back story of how Greg Lake got up to speed on Asia's numbers in just a couple of weeks to meet the tour's schedule. How he could stand playing that amputee looking stumpy bass is still beyond me. But he did have to stand up holding it, night after night. He's one of my real rock and roll heroes.

I always thought it was amusing that Wetton replaced Lake in King Crimson & Lake replaced Wetton in Asia. They are so similar in many ways. Both great.

Bought this on an album years ago, it still has the power to thrill.Absolutely fantastic rock anthem and performed by such great names, RIP Greg, this will live for ever and great to see this video, thank you for sharing it with us....

complicated times back then, egos flying and Greg Lake takes over for JW and then they bust up until Astra, a tough period early to mid 80s with the changes in music were rampant, nevertheless both Greg and John are musical legends, may they both rest in peace....

Ambos fueron tremendos bajistas-vocalistas. Y da la "casualidad" que tanto Lake como Wetton tuvieron algo en común: que ambos en diversas épocas fueron parte de King Crimson en voz y bajo ("Curiosamente" Wetton reemplazó a Lake en dicho rol dentro de King Crimson y posteriormente Lake hizo lo propio en Asia. Eso explica el hecho de que Greg Lake pudo perfectamente "ponerse en los zapatos" de John Wetton acá).

Oh man, the keytar at the end was just about the most 80s thing in existence. And the mullets 😵‍💫

ELP was a classic group. greg lake is a legend and veteran of progressive rock. I don't think they could have gotten better then. name someone who could have covered it better.

I heard Greg Lake sing during the Works tour in Detroit in 1977 and his voice was incredible. I heard Wetton in Detroit in '82 on the first tour and his voice wasn't great and he could NOT hit all the notes on some of the songs from the album they had just recorded. I've heard him sing live on other videos and Wetton's voice was much better. In any case, two great and similar baritones.

Interesting fact: Wetton replaced Lake in King Crimson. Lake replaced Wetton (briefly) in Asia.
