Hi all,
Last night ASIA (fJP) put a fantastic show filled with lots of energy
both from the crowd in attendance and the band. I've got to commend
the Denver fans: they know their rock'n'roll and they were into it.
The show started half an hour late because there was rain and
lightning in the area, but that didn't stop the crowd's enthusiasm who
began shouting "ASIA, ASIA, ASIA". When the band took the stage, it
was with a take no prisoners attitute, ready to impress and rock the
Denver audience which, judging by what I saw, they succeeded mightily.
With a few shows now under his belt, new guitarist Bruce Bouillet put
his stamp and personality into the songs. He was outstanding all night
long, playing some fiery solos in some of the songs. John Payne stole
the show, I really liked his sitar playing (yes, he played the sitar!)
at the beginning of "Desire", and he had an acoustic guitar set in
which he played the 'ARIA' songs "Sad Situation", and "Don't Cut the
Wire", the latter dedicated to former 10cc member Andrew Gold who
passed away earlier this year (Andrew co-wrote the ASIA songs
"Wherever You Are", and "Ready to Go Home"). Because of the late
start, some songs could not be played from their usual setlist, they
being "Don't Cry", Different Worlds", and "Time Again".
Afterwards, at the meet 'n' greet I had the chance to buy two Bruce
Bouillet's solo cds and had the chance to meet in person and talk to
Jeri Unselt (ASIA's #1 fan), and Erik Nielsen (the web guy). Also I
brought along with me my sister and niece, and I took pictures of them
with John Payne and Erik Norlander. The fact that my niece said to me
that "John Payne is awesome and the coolest guy she's ever met" pretty
much summed up what a cool night last night was. Long live ASIA Feat.
John Payne!

Glad everyone had a good time. Just wish I were there to share in the magic. Thats OK if some OA songs had to be dropped. Then there'd be more room for AFJP ones. I asked if this one promoter would bring them to my area in Upstate NY. It would have to be in a club or something as festival season is ending now. If I had the money, I would have flown to Denver. I know the new album still needs to be done.
