Thank you for making and sharing this great video! These unique harmony based titles from Wishbone Ash were and are only possible in great teamwork - and this is a great stage act! Congratulations to the band! When you play this legendary work it's nice to see you enjoy that playing. And I enjoy each tone, 'cause they are all stored in my brain since the great 1979 concert in Munich. Thank you so much!❤ ... Sorry - the concert was in 1971 - and I paid DM 7,00 😊😊
Wow - quite the flashback for me. I bought "Live Dates" after hearing it ON THE RADIO (I know, weird but that's the product of a time when DJs could play whatever they liked). I grew up listening to WMMR in Philly (before "Classic Rock" was a thing) and I heard so many genres and bands that broadened my appreciation of unfamiliar musics. I'm sure Pandora can come up with something roughly equivalent but this was from the end of the golden age of FM rock.
I saw this lineup March 23 , 2022 in Charlotte NC, U.S.A. . THEY DID THE ENTIRE "ARGUS " ALBUM WITH 3 OTHER TUNES . THIS SONG A YEAR LATER IS THE BETTER VERSION. BOTH WERE GREAT WITH SOUND EFFECTS IN BOTH . THEY'RE GETTING BETTER .
Brill still watch them playing that song on the night of the guitars on CZcams the sound volume and ambience of the concert hall is mind blowing Please watch it
Mit 70 Jahren höre ich immer noch den Sound aus der Hippie Zeit und fahre stets darauf an. Aus dieser Zeit kommen die besten Sounds für die Ewigkeit,wie z.B. von Pink Floyd und vielen anderen Bands... Gott sei Dank für die Gnade das erleben zu dürfen!
I like Andy's band, but prefer Martin's Band. Abrams is KILLER on guitar here. Great tone, clean pure playing (very Wishbone Ash). He is a huge addition to Andys' band. Nice guy too. He reminds me of Laurie Wisefield, another brilliant player. Heck, they all are. Crabtree is too stiff for me, and he lacks the swing that Upton had and Tim Brown (Martin's Band) had too. That said Crabtree is an excellent drummer, but more of the Neil Peart/Gavin Harrison linear style. I prefer the swing and am a jazz fusion player myself. The drum tuning is also different. Upton was from the jazz blues feel and had that open tympanic tone of the whole drum vs the flat "smack" tuning of fashion in later years. Billy Cobham, Lenny White, Curt Cress (Passport), Alphonse Muzon (Bonham's fave) all had that open tympanic melodic tuning. Huge to the sound of the bands they were in. Upton had this, Tim Brown does.
Such a great well informed comment. Well said my friend. Not to be nasty, but Martin's band is far superior to this. I know Martin's voice is fading with age, but Andy Powell is no vocalist. Although Abraham's is very good, this band just seem to be going through the motions. Compared to MTWA here we have inferior drive, energy, enthusiasm plus inferior vocal, bass playing, and drumming. I went to see Martin's band recently and they were far better, both musically and importantly, they were having a good time . I first saw Wishbone Ash in 1969, they were quite something and had a huge influence on me. I'm afraid this is a far cry from that great band.
Saw them at Lincoln last night 4/9/23, magnificent, the best i''ve ever heard them, electrifying. Where did they get that guitarist Mark Abraham from, a genius and perfect compliment to Andy Powell.
Great to see an 'Orange' backline. Saw these guys many many moons ago with complete Orange backline at the Fairfield Halls, Croydon. The sound was superb. Instant fan....
@@BassistPaul Hi Paul. Indeed it was a great venue. Saw some great bands there with Wishbone Ash one of the best. Humble Pie brought back good memories too. Don't forget the Greyhound over the road........quo, new years eve. Amazing
@@philmitchell5061 Indeed they were great times for getting out to see bands. I used to go to Gun pub, to see Major Surgery, Don Weller's jazz/funk outfit. The bassist Bruce bought my Fender Tele bass, but that's another story!
In the late I had an early 70s orange head and cab and was a big WA fan(still am).The Orange had an awesome tone and power and I could get that slightly overdriven clean piercing sound heard here and not the bludgeoning thunder of a Marshall although I had one of those too.Trouble was it kept blowing up every second or third gig and finally I sold it when the third or fourth repairmen suggested a complete rebuild which I couldn’t afford.The best version of TKWC I have heard in ages and it’s not one of my fave WA songs.
I do wish the guitars were just a little more overdriven .maybe they sounded it live. But this lead guitarist is a joy to watch and listen to. And i like the bass melody solo. The special quality of the 70s versions of the band were it's triple lead guitars 😉. So the punch of playing with a pick at the edge of overdrive is something i seek. An arrangement aspect i wondered forever about- even back to original versions: when that great chord sequence kicks off, why isnt it done with more explosive drama? Maybe with a slight pause between sections . Im just a fan .and im not criticizing .but it just seems to take the band a bit by surprise. ( And i mean even to the earlier line-ups.) The king is coming " for god's sake!"🥴 Why not shout it? Anyway- love this performance. Thanks for filming and posting.
Most of todays performers are 3 chord wonders. No thought put into the songs, and what they produce are totally forgettable. Bands like Wishbone Ash were and are pure gold
Why is the sum 3 a magic number? It's the same for such bands, it's basically a law of nature: after the third LP/CD, etc., everything went down musically and qualitatively for everyone. From the genius of the first three albums to normal to embarrassing. The reason is that youthful creativity and inspiration is lost ore exhausted. Or they died at the age of around 30. A natural law that was only withheld from Bach and Bethoven and Hayden. and some jazz musicians and singers.
Can't help wondering how many lineup changes there have been since they let Ted Turner go. That was bad news for me, I really liked him and wish he had stayed. I met with Copeland junior just after he retunred from Vietnam. The father worked for the CIA, Miles Copeland Snr. He was on News at One on ITV when asked about Arms for Iran to assist the Contras, he replied "The hell Reagan didn't know about arms to Iran .... We in real trouble !" That made me lasugh. I knew Twitty Ted's ex, she shared the flat in Wood Green for a while with her Maggy. They were very beautiful. Those were the ..... you know !
Sehr stark gespielt!!! Einfach geniale Jungs seid Ihr von Wishbone Ash! ich habe schon seit etwa 40 Jahre Eure Super Live-Dates Alben. Eine Platte schöner als die andere!

Killer guitarist! So laid back. Really enjoying himself.
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
Ja der Gitarrist richtig klasse wie er spielt!
Morgen sehe ich die Band mit meinem Freund den Hamburger in Barby freue mich sehr da geht einem das ❤auf.
Beautiful finese and sublime expertise of this band is simply outstanding. 👌

This is what rock and Roll is all about !!
Ich denke perfekter kann man diesen Song kaum spielen. Ich liebe dieses Lied …. seit fünfzig Jahren, immerhin. 😊👍
All time high....
@@dirkhoving5130 komm im Januar ins Colos Saal in Aschaffenburg. Dort schauen wir die uns an.
Habe schon den 16 Januar in Dortmund gebucht ... Danke für die Idee ...
@@dirkhoving5130 Auf jeden Fall viel Spaß 😉!!!

Schöne alte Musik
Saw them at the Marquee club in 77 or 78 and wembley a few days later. Great times
One of the best of the 70
The voices might not have the same volume, but it's great listening to the song! The content and the music will never change! Go for it!!!
Really great, WishBone Ash☮️

Nottingham lol
Wow that’s an incredibly crisp performance! I like how the drums aren’t overbearing
Amazing!!!
Takes me right back to 1970’s Wembley - along with Bad Co., best gigs I ever went to 👍🫡👌
Perfection 👌

Beautiful sounds... and my god, that's tasty lead playing. Amazing tone, too.
Thank you 🤘
Some negative comments here but for me it's just great to hear these classic songs being played by a very capable band TODAY !
What a great band !!
Sent chills down my spine in 1973, still pretty darn good.
Simply brilliant performance.
Fantastic love the faces of pure enjoyment
What a great song and very spiritual to me!
awesome
Saw them at the.mauch chunk Opera house this febr
uary fantastic show
Danke
Good God Man!

retornei aos meus 12 ANOS ! maravilhoso som ! obrigado !"
23 april in de Lievekamp in Oss, Wishbone Ash !
Vu en concert, ils sont tous excellent musiciens et le vocal est parfait 👍✌️🥰
That PRS does sound amazing x
Indeed, sounds fantastic! Looking at the vintage tuners I think it’s a McCarty model.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
the guitarist is so insane..................wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saw them in either 80 or 81, fantastic then, fantastic now.
Nice PRS Gold Top !
What a nirvana, the part of Ted Turner is being played perfectly. Why don't such songs are composed today?
Most of todays performers are 3 chord wonders. No thought put into the songs, and what they produce are totally forgettable. Bands like Wishbone Ash were and are pure gold
Thank you! 🤘🎸
Because record companies no longer invest in artists. They invest in quick monetary returns, it’s short termism. Instant financial gratification.
This is not true. There are fine Bands out there that are amazing. Try Hällas or Graveyard for example.
Still going strong - GREAT
Really great, WishBone Ash☮️
Nice, anyone know the type of effect that's being used for the atmospheric parts? Something in the Boss DD-500?
Analog Man Guitar Effects 'King Of Tone'
Fantastic guys, look forward to seeing you again soon Andy
Great to see the Gibson flying vee still going strong. What is the second lead guitar? Is it a Pensa MK? Sounds great, fantastic tone.
That was awesome

Thanks for a great gig at the live room in Chester on Saturday.
wtf is this solo, god DAMN
Good or Bad to You ???
Una vez más ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🙏✔️
Excellent.
Απλά φανταστικοί!!!
They keep turning up on my playlist! It’s not as if they’re that deep. Algorithms.
Madre mia Che orrore
Brilliant :)
Klasse!!!
Mark Abrahams spielt definitiv klasse!! Er ist ein würdiger Nachfolger von Ted Turner.
A fine song.
Those lads on the guitars clearly have issues with each other, mind you.
;)
Take good care of yourself Mr Powell. You're leading up the last of the real classic rock guitar bands.
Gone are the days of Les Pauls and Stratocasters. Now it’s PRS, Ibanez, Dean, Jackson’s……
Danke ❤❤❤❤ich habe mir die letzten zwei Wochen nicht genommen
I covet that bass drum head.
watching them in Wimbourne UK in Spet 2023
Fantastic sound....! Class....
Der ständige Wechsel von Musikern hat die Qualität nicht verändert.
Who's playing lead guitar?
Andy Powell and Mark Abrahams
Still class
Can't hear the words!
That's because Mr Powell can't sing, never could..
einfach nur Geilomat
Great stuff lads!
Skippers Smokehouse
Oct 29th
See you there
Tomorrow night in North Buffalo!🎸
The show Rocked!
Great, how a proper band should sound !
where is laurie wisefield ?
He's gone to see Martin's band..
very precise and lovely, but shite compared to early 70's rendition
It's ok but not Argus. Vocals just aren't there.
No emotion, no guts. Just playing for the money, Sad.
The song itself is good, the band performance is not. Good musicians but the spirit is lessened.
Martin Turner is the real Wishbone Ash
die bespielten einst stadien. Und sind fast vergessen. o tempora....
Crap
Sehr stark gespielt!!! Einfach geniale Jungs seid Ihr von Wishbone Ash! ich habe schon seit etwa 40 Jahre Eure Super Live-Dates Alben. Eine Platte schöner als die andere!
Where’s Laurie?
stood in a dark corner laughing.
Power to Ukraine force's 😁
