Asia have confirmed the launch of a live set recorded in the US in 2012, before Steve Howe bowed out of the band.
And they’ve released a clip in which they perform their track Face On The Bridge – view it below.
Axis XXX Live In San Francisco MMXII will be available in DVD/2CD and Blu-ray editions on June 22 via Frontier Records, after its original broadcast by AXS TV in the States.
Frontman John Wetton says: “It’s a journey through Asia’s history, from Alpha to Omega and more, in the beautiful setting of the Regency Ballroom, San Francisco, California.
“Much newer material is aired, plus the band’s vintage hit songs, performed by all four original members of Asia. It’s an unmissable treat for any fan, new or old.”
Frontiers Music add: “This is a historical document of where the band was at the time – a snapshot of their musicianship, camaraderie and passion.
“This is one of the very last shows featuring the original lineup of Geoff Downes, Steve Howe, Carl Palmer and John Wetton, in your face and for your viewing pleasure.”
Guitarist Howe left Asia two months after Axis XXX was filmed to focus on Yes and solo work. He was replaced by Sam Coulson, who debuted on 14th album Gravitas.
