4.0 out of 5 stars This CD is so honest, you'll feel like you are right there!, April 8, 2000

This CD has all the fun of a soundcheck and has the quality of a bootleg. If you can get past the yappy woman in the audience (who comes in clearer than Wetton at times) you're all set. That's the only reason it got only 4 stars! It's an all acoustic display of music from Asia, UK, and King Crimson, played to a very intimate audience. It is honest, real, and very powerful. John Wetton does a blusy rendition of Easy Money that will bring you to your knees. If you have never seen John Wetton live, this is as close as you will come to it. His interaction with the audience between songs, alone, is worth the price of the CD. He does versions of The Smile has Left Your Eyes, Hold Me Now, Arkangel, and Starless that are just incredible. You will also love this CD because there is nobody in the band smothering his songs with heavy pounding, loud guitars, or anything else. It's just John and his band having a good time with a very happy audience. It's the best concert I never saw!

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST SOLO WETTON- ACCOUSTIC SET WITH IAN MCDONALD, October 26, 2003

This review is from: Live in New York (Audio CD)

MANY REVIEWERS HAVE POINTED OUT THE SUB PAR PRODUCTION VALUES OF THIS CD, IT IS A LIVE AUDIENCE RECORDING, SO WHAT, THE MUSIC IS BRILLIANT. WETTON FOCUSES ESPECIALLY ON KING CRIMSON MATERIAL, AND UK MATERIAL. HIS OWN SOLO SONGS AND THE ASIA SONGS SOUND MUCH BETTER HERE, WITH THE FOCUS ON THE SONGWRITING INSTEAD OF STUDIO SLICKNESS. IAN MCDONALD'S PRESENCE ON STARLESS AS WELL AS THE REST OF THE CD MAKE THIS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY CRIMSON FAN.

This review is from: Live in New York (Audio CD)

Conociendo de la calidad y los antecedentes de este señor, creo que este album pudo haber dado mas, se trata de un concierto acustico, en un club e la gran manzana que resume toda la historia musical de este señor que es uno de los grandes y que ha tocado solo en grandes bandas y que ha escrito y producido grandes clasicos, sin embargo el audio y la calidad musical del disco no es la ideal, lo que hace que el album pierda valor, sin embargo es innegable que John Wetton canta y toca con el corazon, y eso lo hace que sea grande como siempre lo ha sido, aparte de eso los musicos que lo acompañan como Ian Macdonald y Martin Orford son musicos de cinco estrellas.
