Concentus: The John Wetton Live Collection Vol 1 CD

Limited 10 CD set. From his beginnings in the genre defining King Crimson, to the inventive, early prog supergroup UK, to the all-conquering prog-pop behemoth that was Asia and the many projects in-between, John Wetton was revered as a colossus of the progressive rock world. Not only did he front three of the most successful progressive rock bands of all-time, John also enjoyed stints with Roxy Music, Family, Uriah Heep and Wishbone Ash. His list of collaborators is a veritable Who's Who of the rock music world. In addition John released no fewer than six solo albums! Thus he is rightly seen as a true song writing visionary and one of the greatest bass players that ever lived. This 10CD collection includes the first selection of John's live albums, which have been newly mastered by Andy Pearce. Where available, bonus material is featured, including hard-to-find cuts which has been especially curated by Rick Nelson, long-time Wetton archivist and John's close friend. Presented in a compact box, this collection also features extensive booklet notes written by Jerry Ewing, editor of PROG Magazine and artwork by Michael Inns, long-time friend and collaborator of John's. This box set has been carefully curated with the blessing of John's wife Lisa and son Dylan and is released with the full support of the Wetton estate. From the committed prog connoisseur to the prog-pop fan of Asia, Wetton's appeal is broad and deep. This extensive collection is the perfect way to begin exploring John Wetton's live performances.
