Title: Just for fans and completists
Review: Asia-Live in Osaka is part of the John Payne era Asia official bootleg series. Of the three official bootlegs in this series, this is the least I'd recommend because the sound is not that good. It's an audience recording from the 'Aqua' tour recorded during the first leg of that tour and one of the first shows with John Payne as lead singer. The performances are good, especially on "Who Will Stop the Rain" and "A Far Cry". But the sound of the recording is not that good, making this album just for completists and hardcore fans of this band (like myself). Of the three official bootlegs in this series, the better sounding (and your best purchase) is the 'Live in Philadelphia', also from the 'Aqua' tour. And if you need a concert recording from the 'Aria' tour then 'Live in Koln' is the only known concert and the recording is passable. But if you need to have just one then go for "Live in Philadelphia'
Is the review positive or negative?
