John Wetton and Geoff Downes playing in an intimate acoustic setting, how can you go wrong? From what I can tell, you can’t. These two guys are incredible musicians and the material (including a lot of Asia stuff) is top notch. Then when you add in Hugh McDowell (ELO) on cello the picture is truly complete. This is a great DVD offering and includes an interview segment and behind the scenes footage, among other things. I suppose I’d have to say that the interview is a bit hard to hear. Beyond that, though, I had no complaints with this release. Fans of Asia, Yes and King Crimson should eat this up.
