Asia are a multi-platinum-selling, global-superstar English rock band formed in London in 1981. The band features some of the most important figures of the prog-rock scene, including Geoffrey Downes (Yes & The Buggles), Steve Howe (Yes), Greg Lake (ELP) & Carl Palmer (ELP).
This incredible performance was the first live broadcast between Japan and MTV and has only ever been released on VHS.

The set includes a 2LP of the live performance, 2CD of both the Japanese & U.S versions and a Blu-Ray Road To Budokan documentary, as well as nine re-created pieces of memorabilia from the tour.
