Ambos fueron tremendos bajistas-vocalistas. Y da la "casualidad" que tanto Lake como Wetton tuvieron algo en común: que ambos en diversas épocas fueron parte de King Crimson en voz y bajo ("Curiosamente" Wetton reemplazó a Lake en dicho rol dentro de King Crimson y posteriormente Lake hizo lo propio en Asia. Eso explica el hecho de que Greg Lake pudo perfectamente "ponerse en los zapatos" de John Wetton acá).

I heard Wetton in Detroit in '82 on the first tour and his voice wasn't great and he could NOT hit all the notes on some of the songs from the album they had just recorded. I've heard him sing live on other videos and Wetton's voice was much better. In any case, two great and similar baritones.
