Unfortunately I found the performance really lacking. I understand this is of bootleg quality in production, but the energy seems low, sometimes the performance sounds awkward (such as timing issues), and many times some of the instruments are drowned out by others. I can't imagine I would have enjoyed being there in person at all and would have left the concert disappointed.
Of course the main issue with this release is that it is an official bootleg, thus the quality is substandard. To put it frankly, I've heard better unofficial bootlegs than this one. I'm not sure if the performances in Osaka or Philadelphia were better as I haven't listened to them (nor do I wish to even buy them), but if you're a die-hard Asia fan, you probably will be disappointed with this one.
I considered giving this two stars because it was an official bootleg, thus collectors and fans might appreciate it. The quality is just too substandard for me, so I have to regretfully give this one star. Only for completionists.

So, we have a bunch of AOR numbers, supposedly the best by Asia, but really leaning more heavily on the Payne era, which really means NOT the best of Asia. So there you have it. Crappy production of a bunch of crappy songs.
I still have this album. I don't know why. Perhaps I have hoarding instincts?
