Asia-My Own Time (I'll Do What I Want)

Brilliant Live performance by Asia in 2009. Originally off of the Alpha Album. "My Own Time" (I'll Do What I Want). Taken from their Spirit of the Night CD. John Wetton, Steve Howe, Carl Palmer, and Geoff Downes.

I close my eyes and I'm back in my high scool time! Stunning! I love all the Alpha LP songs ! Next in line is "Last to know" Awesome music!

[@DiverBand]

I'm part of a John wetton Asia tribute band called the Aurora project here on KZbin. Please check out our version of the alpha track never in a million years, the last to know, and the icons song in the end. You can find us here on KZbin. Thanks!

Comparto el mismo sentimiento Gabriel. Asia me transporta a tiempos felices de mi adolescencia. ¡Que excelente música! Saludos desde la Patagonia, en Argentina.

[@pachacutecyupanqui3336]

Great band.

[@aldorubindecelis377]

An eternal song, an eternal VOICE in my mind, your VOICE my dear and missing Jhon Wetton, forever and ever sing in my head

[@olhole]

Man, I really enjoyed that live version. "My Own Time" has always been one of my faves. Thanks.

[@JohnnyBoy1969]

Thank you for posting this great song some of their best songs was never released has singles or radio play one of the best tight playing bands live, There live music sounds just as good as their Studio versions it's a Pity that John wetton is gone I know he had a lot more music and lyrics within him.

[@Jelperman]

I've always loved this song.

[@tigertank88m]

Asia is so so much more that heat of the moment and only time will tell. I love the tunes that never came close to radio play,Thank You Nickcobra and ASIA. P.S. I just seen them a month ago.

[@GAJ0003]

I never saw any video of these guys until youtube. When I was a teenager I would always be flipping through radio station to see who was playing a song I wanted to listen to. If they ever come nearby where I live I would go see them in concert. They don't need any fancy light shows or crazy stage antics. The music speaks for itself. I like the live version better than the studio version.

[@johnpolizzano1586]

Perfect live performance of one of my favorites!!

[@matthewtoddadcock8151]

Yes, #ASIA has always had great 👍🏾 Music! Thank you for everything guys!

[@slowemm]

Top 3 Asia song for me. Love this.

[@jordiandreu2283]

Sweet guitar work by Steve Howe.

[@jordiandreu2283]

Grreat Howe!

Legend

[@BrianBuckalew]

RIP, John

[@whitishblackbird369]

This is good old music. Carl Palmer seems to tend to become slightly fast, and to become late at fill-In without changing with old days. I also feel nostalgic for it.

スティーブハウ、上手いわぁ！

[@stevenelson379]

I would love to see Alpha remixed. This song is SOOOOO under rated. I would love to see a guitar cover of this song.

[@NoelleTheTeacher]

NO one knows about this song--they're stuck on "Heat of the Moment". This is my absolute favorite Asia song. Close seconds for me are "Here Comes the Feeling" and "Smile has left your eyes"

[@irinanavrapescu2009]

You are right. ASIA does not mean only HEAT OF THE MOMENT or MY OWN TIME. Please listen to ALL their albums. Listen to HOLY WAR , THERE WAS A TIME ( both on the OMEGA album), or MIDNIGHT SUN , LIGHT THE WAY , BURY ME IN WILLOW , HEROINE , IN THE END . And of course , you will certainly love FALLEN ANGEL, and STARLESS ( when JOHN WETTON was part of the KING CRIMSON band ) . Do this and you will not regret it.

[@matthewtoddadcock8151]

Based on their talent, Ticket 🎫 Sales, Fanbase Appreciation and Album sales, can anyone find time to Induct the British Rock Band #ASIA into the #HOF? Please? RIP #JohnWetton!

[@fenderstratocastertelecast8479]

I would love to support your proposition... Huge fan here!!! Kind regards from México

[@rafaelbraga7687]

Grande musica tocada por excelentes músicos!

[@manoelfernandodemelo5196]

Uma das melhores bandas do mundo,muita competência e criatividade musical.

[@Padarack1]

John's voice was not having a great night this night, period. Surprised they put a CD out, from such a night. Still have to kind of love it because it's a unique song, this one.

[@manuelpedrosd]

Padarack1 voice seems to be fine for me :)

[@rogeramadeolazarollica9875]

La recuerdo de mis años universitarios.

[@christinamccann876]

This is the real Asia. Someone needs to tell the band that's pretending to be them now. Sorry, no one sounds like John Wetton.

[@SPECTRE1961]

Please, If possible, Could you ... Upload Midnight Sun/track bonus from Spirit of Night ... Thanks !

[@marcosgammer]

Vem pro Brasil Asia!!!!!! kkkkkkkkkkkk

[@reegaderegan]

Awesome song from the MASTER MUSICIANS.Try not to Compare"live"versions to Originals=They r a separate entity.Try putting on Original album w Good H-Phones,sit back&allow Them to give u a tour of Musically Mastery.The Original Asia freak=RenegadeRegan™

[@nuckythompson6149]

Steve Howe great great musician.BUt for my ear,they need musician with more modern style of playing,like Guthrie was ....Steve sounds very light,and dry,not much reverb and distortion.THis music fit better with more distorted guitar i think.ANyway,they are great.And i saw em in 2009 in Russia,and Yes in 2001 in Kremlin,a lot great memories.

[@martindebrois1472]

From in the first two or three stanzas, John's voice sounds pretty worse for wear. = No way should they have done *this* song, on this night. ... He's still great 🙌
