Asia's Fantasia Live in Tokyo is one of the best live prog-rock concerts so far released on DVD (it's WS anamorphic, and I suspect that this will probably be released in HD and/or Blu-ray eventually). If you like Steve Howe's guitar, you'll find that his form here is superb and he's given plenty of room to stretch out; in fact all four musicians are in tip-top form.

Note: You'll come to the full realization that these four guys can play just about anything thrown at them when they perform a live version of Geoff Downe's one-Buggle-hit wonder Video Killed the Radio Star and manage to pull it off as well as the original studio recording!

Heck, I'll go so far as to say that this DVD is a keeper if you even marginally like Asia's music. Highly recommended (****1/2 stars on a five star scale; only docking 1/2 star for wanting even more, and this isn't a short concert)!

Cheers,
AuPh
