WISHBONE ASH - LIVE IN COPENHAGEN 2019

[@mikeschmelzer9733]

Could we just stop whining about last members and celebrate 50 years of great music by WA.People change, circumstances change, it's a tribute to Andy that he has kept the quality of the live sound more of less constant through the years. Many great guitarists have played along side him. Bob Skeat is a great bass player. Joe Crabtree is probably the most talented drummer they have ever had. All the past members have done their part to keep this sound alive and rocking for 50 years. It's their songs that stand the test of time, not necessarily who is playing them. Along with UFO, their music has been a source of pleasure to me for most of my life.. God bless them for that.

[@daze1945]

Don't forget Mark Abrahams. Superb guitarist and a really nice guy too. As are all the band. If only all bands were so accommodating to their fans to actually meet and shake hands and sign merch.

[@DonAlderOfficial]

All shapes and forms of WA i love . the music is next to none.

[@bluedream9668]

Marty's band has WA spirit. Andy has a stiff group and is uptight. There! Marty has the soul.

[@ClatoTom]

I'm from Germany. I was born in 1963 and heard this music as a teenager in 1979/1980. Once I recorded a tape and heard it at school. The other students looked at me strangely and I was a freak for them. They weren't ready yet.

[@SuperPassionflower]

I was born 1957, I'm from Netherlands (Amsterdam) and Ash were one of the select group of bands I LOVED in the early and later 70's and I do remember I was the only one (and a semi asian girl at that too) during my high school years, into Ash music

[@kurthochmann8666]

I am still loving them so much. This is the best band ever. What about today?There is nothing to be compared with this music.

[@syk1278]

40～50年前にアルバム"Live Dates"を買ってツインギターを聞き、衝撃を受けて自分も弾けるように一生懸命ギターを練習した思い出があります。 なかでも”Throw Down the Sword”と"Phoenix"が大好きです。こんなに年月が経っていても、今でも車やウォークマンで聴いています。 音楽は本当に良いですね。

[@KsiazeIgor]

Great to see the band, who are bearing the name and playing their fantastic music even though they got hated for constant line-up changes. I don't care what others think in this matter, some of the current members are with WA for longer than the original ones. Their craftsmanship is outstanding, so is their input to the band's progress. Time to move on, whinge bags, Andy is the only person being constantly in the band and he keeps up providing us some mean rock and roll for no matter what. Enjoy it and be grateful!

[@bluedream9668]

It is not "hate". Andy is a ruthless dude (self described - that means he is Nasty) and pushed Marty to court and won. Andy runs a decent group but if you LISTEN to both bands you will see. Tim Brown swings and Crabtree is about as stiff and uptight as Andy Powell. I see Andy's band as I like Mark. For those that have Ears.....use em! WA soul is in Marty's band. Andy can only approximate Martin, and Martin's guitarists and vocals and drummer make mish mash out of Andy's sterile pile. If they toured the States you would see. It is plain. I know how fans want to defend Andy but he is a self described asshole and his music reflects this energy. Simple.

[@Pedro2706]

@@bluedream9668 Mmmmm...Andy Powell has always been an exceptional guitar player and remains so..not sure anyone would make mish mash out of his playing.

IMO Wishbone Ash are...with the dual melodic lines and breaks, The English Allman Brothers. Always a treat no matter who is playing their music. Many bands could take a clue about lead and rhythm guitar from these tunes and players. Great job Andy.

[@brianokeefe1100]

My wife and I were lucky enough to catch this lineup of WA in 2018 and again in 2020 when they were playing in Phoenix, Arizona. I first heard them back in 1970 and they are as good today as the original lineup was then. May there be many years more to come.

After all these years, and the many ups and downs within' the band, Andy, Bob, Joe & Mark never cease to amaze. Those sweet locked in harmony guitars still send a rush up and down my spine. Love it and this video. Thanks for posting.

[@hairlessx11]

...but to this day, Martin Turner's band sound like the original incarnation (and Mk2) of the band. Same spirit, vocals, bass playing etc. The twin guitars can be reimagined, the rest? no. As an example, Front Page News here is shockingly bad.

ive heard both variants of WA and they all sound great, Andy's band is a bit more progressive and creating new product as well which is awesome, its not about good or bad its just getting to hear both bands carrying on this fantastic music.

I'm planning to see Wishbone Ash for the 3rd time this year!! They are coming to Ohio where I live now. Saw them in 1978 in London (Powell, Upton, Turner, Wisefield) and in 2016 in Indiana (Powell, Manninen, Skeat, Crabtree) . Yes, different line-ups but both concerts were great!

I saw them play Bath University in 1971. They weren’t playing well that night and the audience was not impressed, especially when we were criticised by the band for not being enthusiastic! They walked off stage after half an hour to a chorus of boos and derision, one of my most memorable nights out.

I saw that very lineup in 1975 at Long Beach Arena, CA. when they headlined over KISS. A very honorable mention must go out to Camel, who opened the show!

[@kmaher4980]

I agree that the lineup with Laurie Wisefield was the best.

[@user-fi7ju4nj9b]

Me too, and it's not even close. Those albums were amazing -- their most consistent albums, best songs, and impressive solos. Good to see them giving some rare respect to that era with tracks 4-6 on this. (They start at 15:45)

[@maxb9315]

Have to put in a word for Ted Turner here. He was in the band when they turned out their most accomplished albums.

[@Rowenband]

I agree with the best line-up, but the best album remains Argus. And ted Turner was one of the composer, so. But Laurie Wisefield was the main act of Home, and The Alchemist is one the finest prog albums…

I guess their song Rock N Roll Widow is all but forgotten by now. I was in England in '73 and I've always loved the version from Live Dates. The song could be beefed up with more to the story an extra verse. The guitars in the live dates version sent shivers up my backbone aka as a thrilling rush. I'm working on a version for open mics.

[@jf8961]

[@tfairhurst1499]

Ahh Wishbone Ash. I've loved you since I was 14, now I am 35. Argus is a druidic triumph. Your debut album is hippy brilliance. Lady Whisky and Errors of my Ways are just perfection, they still want to make me drop acid and dance around churchyards. As previously mentioned your inter -band relationships are a total let down, but then I was in bands and I know how it feels.. Every time I get drunk I divert to you because underneath the tripe and cobwebs, you are just SUCH a great band. I must agree with others that Ted Turners gift of melody and playing cannot be equalled by any (you only have to listen to hear it), that is why all the WA session players always follow his structure. Anyways my theory is that Martin and Andy likely came to blows - they strike me as big characters who struggle to compromise. Nonetheless: Underrated . Underappreciated. Relentless. Wishbone Ash forever... Just please get rid of your current bassist and get me in the band.

thanks to andy powell for always holding up wishbone ash, because they were a really exceptionally good band back then, and they are still today, thanks to andy powell and the constantly changing musical talents. I just miss that he never talks about Mark Birch. The concert in Shepherd's Bush in April 2000 was one of the best performances for me and a delight for all the senses, also through and with Mark Birch. You could feel the joy of the game in everyone, and that made it a really great evening for everyone, including the audience. Alongside Andy Powell, Mark Birch is a very great musical personality, with far too little attention. And actually andy regretted this lack of attention from his band in the 70s. rightly.

As much as I wish there could be a mending of fences between Martin Turner and Andy Powell I would much rather hear this band perform these tunes. Powell's playing is iconic and much more evocative,lyrical,and memorable as far as the songs are concerned. The vocals are much improved since Turner cant hit the notes on pitch anymore in his version and Powell's group plays with the right volume,tone,and attitude of the early band in its heyday. Love that they have gone back to the Orange amps which have THE Wishbone Ash tone!!!

All this discussion about Andy and Martin and who's right and wrong and whIch bands the best will no doubt split opinions. I give credit to Andy for keeping the band going and releasing so much new material over the years. Both Elegant Stealth and Blue Horizon are excellent albums. However personally I think Coat Of Arms is disappointing with weak lyrics overall. Still love both bands though and Martin Turner has excellent musicians playing with him. Kept me entertained for 50 years and long may it continue!

Ok, your opinion and my opinion. I really never liked his guitar, I always found him more interested in looking like a heartthrob than exercising his creativity .. of course this is just my vision. Martin and Steve Upton are forever in the band's history and in the heart of their fans ... us.

[@oscarwilde-fan880]

I second +Seventysounds. I discovered Argus et al. in the early 1980s which impressed me deeply. In 1988 and 1989, I was able to see the reunion line-up live, opening for Rush in a grand arena in 1988 and as the sole act in a 1989 pub setting. They blew me away. For some reason, the amazing, almost magic power of their live sound never made it through to any of their live recordings. Conserning Wiseman, I came across his work quite recently (talking decades here...), when I was starting to complete my record collection of Wishbone Ash studio albums. To be honest, I like Andy Powell's bluesy modern takes more than 'There's the rub' and their ilk. But that's just me, I'm not going to tell you what you should like or not. Certainly, though, the Wiseman albums are very much not up my alley.

[@Seventysongs]

OscarWilde-Fan, my first time was just with a live album of them. In 1973 was released the magnificent "Live Dates" and was the year that I met them. I don't know if you ever heard this album, if not, listen because all the power you mention is there ... I don't believe you do not notice this on this album. I never had problems with Andy, my problem was only with Laurie who never told me much about his guitar .. but as I said, this is me, my taste. I think most WA fans like Laurie's guitar.

[@oscarwilde-fan880]

@@Seventysongs : I agree. Everybody of course is free to like whatever they fancy!
