I saw Asia on their 25th anniversary tour. When they played this, neither Steve nor Geoff sang backup on the chorus. On the second chorus, I cupped my hands around my mouth and sang/shouted the high harmony part. I was in the 2nd row but wasn't sure if John Wetton could hear me, but by the end of the song everyone was singing it, and I could see John smiling. A nice memory I will always have as I say goodbye to John, a prog-rock legend. RIP.

Sounds of my youth which I will always remember!!! God Bless and play your talent for GOD, John Wetton!!!! Amen.

Huge asia fan here. here is the story behind the video. This was Asia's "B Movie Tribute" to Raiders of the Lost Ark. JJ Jackson said this when he premiered the video on Friday night late in July of 1983. It's just pure fun....sure it's a little hokey....but the band didn't take it too seriously. It's a great song and actually tells a story. Remember when videos used to do that! Enjoy!

I would argue that there's music that comes out today, which is widely agreed to be one of the worst time periods for music, that's waaay better than some 80's music. It just comes down to personal taste and knowledge of what's going on during a specific time period, I bet if you looked a bit more you could find some really good music that's coming out right now.

@@ANT96-x8d Maybe for you it was techno years but for others it's plenty of good rock works, some of them are still the best ones, the rise of death, black, prog metal, sympho metal in late 90s, the time of true alternative bands. It was time when many music albums were good from start to finish where bad songs just didn't exist. I think a plenty of greatest songs of all time were made exactly in 90s. Many new styles ans substyles emerged then too. More then other decades.
