I used to listen to him with King Crimson in the '70s and saw John with Asia during their first tour in the early '80s.

Hey Jeff yeah I know who John wetton is.. check out the Band UK and an album called "danger money". best thing he ever did IMHO... the reason I posted is because this is greg lake but your title says John Wetton

Wanna bet?
Looks like there was a labelling malfunction on the video...

Maybe that's why they were both in King Crimson?

Whetton kind of slurs his words a bit; "s" comes out like "sh." Lake doesn't do that. That's about the only way I can tell them apart by listening.

I saw UK in Boston sometime around 1977(?) Wetton was a great bass player/vocalist, the whole band really impressed me live.
