Concentus II - The John Wetton Live Collection Volume Two
The second in the on-going series of three box sets celebrating the life and times of this incredible musician in the concert arena. This 10-CD collection includes the first batch of John’s Live albums each with bonus tracks (where available) which have been fully re-mastered by Andy Pearce. Also included is extremely rare and hard-to-find bonus material which has been especially curated by Rick Nelson, long-time Wetton archivist and John’s close friend. This material is a treasure trove of wonders for the true Wetton fan.
Presented in a compact box, this collection also features an extensive booklet with notes written by Jerry Ewing, and artwork by Michael Inns, long-time friend, and collaborator of John’s.
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 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 entry point to appreciating and understanding the many colourful facets of John Wetton’s musical personality and is the perfect illustration of his extraordinary life.
