Mark Abrahams is fantastic!

[@ursafan40]

I saw them last night. 12/5/24 Yes Mark was extraordinary. I smiled all night long

Was living in Denver in '73 and a friend said I had to go with him and see this band Wishbone Ash. Never looked back.

[@786itube]

Consummate professionals - so good to see that the fabulous 70’s music is still alive. Far cry from the trash being streamed into young ears these days. Brilliant group and fantastic performance here. A huge thank you from middle-England

[@AllenKerr]

Which ‘trash’ do you mean, exactly…? And if I happen to like that ‘trash’, I’m wrong and you’re right, yeah? Grow up.

What TRASH ? TAYLOR SWIFT TRASH !!!

[@dlorde]

Still got the 1972 gatefold vinyl album I bought as a student - fabulous sound! Unbelievable that 50 years on they still sound great!

[@Bango1959]

When I listen to Live Dates in 1973 I was 13 years old and since that time I become a great fan of Wishbone Ash.

[@SuppersReady8880]

I really appreciate Mark Abrahams' playing, very fluid and emotional, he is certainly a worthy successor to Ted Turner and the other players who have filled those shoes next to Andy. Way to go Andy and friends, you are keeping this flame alive with a lot of class and that touch of real passion that brings me back to the memories of 1973 when I saw the original line-up play in the US Midwest. You should be proud of your amazing creative accomplishments.

Sublime. Used to do covers of Blowin' Free, Sometime World and Jailbait back in the 70's. Still have a play along myself (bass) now and again. Great stuff.

[@sideshowbob]

Heard about & started listening to these guys in 9th grade in 1974/75, also Budgie, Rush, UFO. "Mid '70's Stoner Rock" I would call it nowadays. Not quite heavy metal. I was more of a Deadhead / Allman Bro's fan at the time, but still enjoyed my share of Euro Prog, Zappa, Fusion Jazz over the years . . .

I've often told people my first time seeing Wishbone Ash was at Met Sports center in Bloomington MN opening for the headliner...after seeing these guys walk out in '70s white suits (except Steve, in his denim cutoff bibs and orange and white socks), Flying V, Rickenbacker bass, Orange amps... The first riff from the first song of the first side of the first album...I was a Wishbone Ash fan right there...off to the record store.... Been a fan and have almost all the albums.... I still don't remember who the headliner was...

[@paullast7928]

Clever---I don't remember 'WHO' the headliner was.......I honestly had a moment or two where I thought I might be crushed when that insane crowd of WHO fanatics rushed the stage and swept me {5'3"-125 lbs.) along with it....SCARY!! WA wasn't even mentioned on the ticket (still have the stub)...When we saw those ORANGE amps being placed on stage ---OH, SHIT--could it be? I've seen them many times around the Midwest over the last 53 years and they never disappoint.....😜

I am amazed that this band is still playing together. The voices sound the same as they did when I first heard these songs. How smooth. I like the song of the Warrior and would like to see them sing with Metallica. There is something about their words and their tone that remind me of the other. Can anyone relate?

Andy and Mark sound great harmonizing together. Great tone!

[@sunburn7855]

Saw them play in Largo FL a couple of nights ago , very good show, but maybe a little too loud the size of the venue. I grew up listening to them, Argus was my favorite record.

[@66marlinmike]

I saw them in Exeter UK acouple of weeks ago, the same line up were so much better than this you would think it was a different band. The audience were ten times more receptive this may have made the difference.

[@mudzou812]

Saw them open for the Who in 72

[@sideshowbob]

I like how the instrumental parts in "Phoenix" sound suspiciously like The Grateful Dead's "The Other One" psychedelic tour-de-force. Gotta go back & listen to some older Ash to see if that shows up there too. Coincidence perhaps? Like Miles Davis & Ian Carr existing at the same time doing the same thing but - possibly - never cross pollinating?

[@Labor_Jones]

So right around 1970 or so I was still buying MUNTZ 4 Track Tapes that were knock offs of records. So, the Label didn't have 'Wishbone Ashe's' Label or info. For years I'd ask people my age if they could recognize the group and the day, I made a BET was the Day I lost the BET, but I found out it was 'Wishbone Ash' I became a FAN FOR LIFE... I really like that Pirated Tape, I was already a fan, I just didn't know who the Band was! - m.

I wish I knew why I *always* get this band mixed up with Spooky Tooth. I guess both originated in England and both play mildly prog tinged bluesy rock. Both were bands I was always interested in but never got around to exploring until recently. This sounds REALLY tight.

This gig sounds like an unplugged Wishbone Ash.

[@mellotronman73]

[@DAHW7584]

Patch up Andy and revive the true Wishbone Ash before it's too late 💓

[@mozartsmate6358]

He's too arrogant to do that..

[@keithf_]

I've been a Wishbone Ash for 50 years but sorry, there is something lacking now. Andy's vocals just don't live up to those of ex-vocalist and founder member Martin Turner. And the instrumentation, whilst perfectly fine it lacks dynamism. It's such a shame. I really do think Martin Turner's current band is the one that truly evokes the WA sound and dynamism from all those years ago. 'Throw Down The Sword' and 'Sometime World' are my absolute favourite WA tracks, but this current band just cannot cut it I'm afraid.

[@williamauld4083]

It's pretty obvious Powell has been determined to remove Martin Turner's element that was crucial to what Wishbone Ash music was all about. He has a tight drum and bass backing with the emphasis on him and his sidekick other twin guitarist.

[@keithf_]

​@williamauld4083 yes I don't care much for Powell's WA these days, although I have to say the Coat of Arms album was pleasant enough. I'm content to wallow in WA albums circa 1970-1976, apart from the truly awful Locked In

What can you say this is true music that GOD blessed me to grow up with all the great bands of the 1970. Saw them in Miami at 16 years old. Thanks WBA for a great sound and to more great music Andy.

[@eric_in_florida]

Interesting, I thought they would have a heavier sound. Maybe they tone it down for smaller venues.

[@BackToTheBlues]

I've seen them at The Brook in Southampton many times, which isn't a big venue, and the sound has been heavier than this. I'm wondering if it sounds a little clean and sterile because we're not hearing the 'room'.

[@tomlayman3141]

I agree. I kept feeling the sound wasn't punchy enough. Kind of weak. Great musicianship though and the somewhat new drummer is doing a great job. I hate to say it but they really need to drop their new stuff, too mellow. They have a catalogue of great rockers that they need to tap into. Supposed to be a ROCK concert after all. I think Andy is mellowing with age. Would love to here Mark Abrams jam more to some of their harder stuff.
