Asia 2, Glasgow 0...

Playlist
Mozart – Complete String Quartets
Pet Shop Boys – Concrete

Classical Jukebox today and Herr Mozart was featured...

Mid afternoon, a call from Dr Prog enticing me along to Asia’s gig in Glasgow tonight...



Consequently, we left Crispycat Towers just after six and, after some welcome sustenance on the streets of the mean city, we arrived at the Carling Academy around five minutes before the performance started...

Two fifty minute sets ensued, packed full of Asia classics along with pieces made famous by Yes, ELP, King Crimson and Buggles...

Just two songs from the forthcoming album “Phoenix” were played though which was disappointing...

I would have liked a bit more bravery from the boys along the lines of the first set being the new album played in its entirety with a couple of “hits” at the end followed by a second set of the crème de la crème of their classic repertoire...

An enjoyable, rocking evening none the less...

Elsewhere, Partick Thistle managed a draw with Rangers at Ibrox and forced a replay, so the line up for the semi-finals of this year's scottish Cup still aren't settled...

Highlight of the Day : Asia with Dr Prog
