Asia: The Heat of the Moment Tour at Macon City Auditorium
Overview
The 80’s rock superstars ASIA bring their "Heat of the Moment" Tour to Macon on July 25. The concert also features Focus, Martin Turner (ex Wishbone Ash) and Curved Air. The tour has been masterminded by rock music keyboard legend and original ASIA member Geoff Downes.
Asia was the biggest selling album of 1982, sitting atop Billboard's album chart for nine weeks. Downes's new iteration of ASIA first began to evolve last summer at the concert held in memory of late lead singer, songwriter and bassist John Wetton. Downes invited old friend John Mitchell and newcomer Harry Whitley to join him on stage to celebrate Wetton's life by performing some of the classic ASIA hits. Such was the uproarious reception to their set, that Downes wondered if something magical was beginning to take shape. Thus, the "Heat of the Moment" tour was born.
