Found And Not Lost - Chapter 16. "The Only Thing She Needs"

Upon launching the "Nothing To Loose" post I've found these materials from Kawasaki, 2013 - when Wetton and Jobson backed up by the amazing Marco Minneman and Alex Macachek did a UK tour over Japan.
This version of "The Only Thing That She Needs" is truly great, the band is on a superb roll playing it. Marco Minneman is simply having a blast drumming this, lively and almost out of himself and bursting bunches of smiles and cheers. Ain't this the way to do it! John and Eddie - flawless, with Jobson's improvisations fiery and bitting. Quite a treat is being added at the end, when Alex takes on to the guitar solo in Alan Holdsworth's style, that obvoiusly never was a part of the original song. Great to see them playing it so well and having this much of a blast over the performance. Wetton in such a great voice is a bliss that brings a tear to the eye, seriously does (maybe bar the strange appearance of the moustache). Miss him so very much. I'm glad I saw them both in 2012 and 2015, when it was the last time to see John alive and on stage in Poland.
