Asia In Asia - Live At The Budokan Arena, Tokyo, December 1983
In 1983 Asia visited Japan to promote their phenomenally successful debut self-titled album (1982) and Alpha (1983). The second of three shows at the Budokan arena on December 6, 1983, would make history as the first live broadcast between Japan and MTV. Featured are some of Asia's most memorable hits like "Time Again," "Only Time Will Tell," "Sole Survivor," "Wildest Dreams" and "Heat Of The Moment."
Greg Lake stepped in, on short notice, following the sudden departure of Asia’s John Wetton ahead of the Japanese dates. Despite a short period for Lake to learn the songs the Japanese shows were hailed a great success.
