Celebrating 30 Years, ASIA Plays Atlanta

Taken individually, John Wetton, Geoff Downes, Steve Howe and Carl Palmer are some of the best musicians in the world.  Put them together in Asia, and it's an unbelievable show.

As I witnessed Monday night in Atlanta, Asia is celebrating 30 years by touring and a new album.

Order Don Felder's 'Road to Forever'

I get to talk with musicians and bands all the time, it's not often I get to talk with a musician the level of Don Felder.

Felder is the former guitarist for the Eagles and co-wrote "Hotel California."

I had a chance to talk to him as he has a new solo album out.

The "Original" ASIA Coming to Atlanta Nov. 19

Known for hits like "Heat of the Moment" and "Only Time Will Tell," the original line-up of the super group Asia returns to the stage to celebrate its 30th Anniversary with a world tour this fall and they will be in Atlanta, at the Variety Playhouse of Nov. 19.  They also have a new album out.

Hope to talk with the guys for an advance piece before this show, that I'm looking forward to.

Why is There Even Debate About Rush in the R&R HOF

Kind of weird read.

They need to save their debate for some of the other nominees.
