Wishbone Ash - Phoenix

[@Malcolm-p4r]

It's 2023 and I will never tire of Andy Powell and wishbone Ashes music. The first album in 1971 in my opinion is one of the greatest debut in albums of all time. This track along with Handy took up a full side of the vynal LP and is a masterpiece.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿☮️😎🎸👍😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤓

This song..takes me back. Listening to it on vinyl, mind expanded as wide as the universe, the world swirling around you mixed in with the guitar riffs, then suddenly his voice breaks through the surface dancing around and bouncing off the walls. You roll your eyes back and explore the universe in your mind, fused with Wishbone Ash. Good times.

[@jan-paulcharteris5752]

Wishbone Ash were a beautiful band. Seen them live several times with Andy and Martin. Think a couple since illuminations. Always take me back to my youth.

[@dragonslayertootoo]

Heard this band in Stroud (UK) in 73 and became an immeadiate accolite .... Fabulous at Bardsney later that year unbelieveable ........... Throw down the sword the best twin lead guitar riff solo still. A master class for those wanting to lead. Still love the all the old staff upto four ......... May their Pheonix always rise .... The ASHhhhhhh .

[@bluegoose555]

Stunning!...Absolutely stunning!...such an underrated band..what talent!..its so great to see these guys are still such creative musicians...and they have been doing it since ..well ..long before Brittney was even a twinkle in her cousins eye!

[@megcorten]

Who's still listening to this Awesome band in 2021 !! Pure talent 👌

[@lindabateman-beckmann6410]

Yes 2023

[@alantord]

followed this band from the 70s,the flying V still rocks.fantastic track!!!!!

[@billbrislain]

Saw WBA in 73' at a small (5000 person) gig in Hammond, In... That was one of the best shows I have ever seen... Sounds like they haven't lost anything since either..... Great post, Thanks

[@mi1964amigo]

I saw Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash in October - they were unbelievably brilliant, couldn't possibly have been better. I went to see them as someone who just liked them a lot and came out as a complete fanatic. The most underrated band ever in the UK. They're in my top ten bands of all time.

[@jesusmorales7371]

Demasiado bueno para olvidar, lo que fue una época genial

[@mark22160]

My uncle also introduced me to this band when I was a teenage kid back in the mid seventies - Live Dates on a super high quality hi fi system, my mind was truly opened and I still play that CD once a week or so to this day and I'm 51 now.

[@DionisioAviles-t5v]

Una de las mejores de esta extraordinaria banda.!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@steveh111]

I used to ride home from school, stick this on the record deck and grab the headphones before sinking into a few minutes of sheer bliss... God I love this song!

[@kwieciak112]

My father had listened Wishbone Ash and i liked it. Now, they are my favourite band ;) I was 3 times at their concerts and all were great!

[@CONDOMSENSE]

I saw them at Cardi's, a local bar on Westheimer in Houston in '80, Stood about 30 feet from the band. Awesome! Live Dates CD is the bomb.

[@ctjbush]

Welcome, you are priviledged to be watching the best rock and roll band ever. Great song, great band.

[@111chazz]

One of thee most underated bands, ever. Their early stuff (70's) is timeless. Memories, He He He!

[@martianshoes]

Andy is a trooper, keeping Ash alive...in fine voice too. We have a nice little bastion of WA fans here in NW Ga, some even make it to AshFest every time...It was cool when Laurie, Trevor,Steve and Andy were the band, they partied with my friends after the ATL show in 1981....cool guys.

[@nickelback1955]

Allways loved them since i was 16 years old . im 55 now .. Still brilliant.

[@Ennodebruyn]

a very good song for a sad moment in life leting them go and go on is hard but The Wishbone is getting me there all the way ! Thanks mates

[@zedheadful]

no body knew wishbone back in the day more than i did. these guys although not the original band do the material justice. these guys are rockin the place out! God love ya boys - fogman, - ZED HEAD.

[@Leander_]

My older brother used to play this song alot, so I got to like it too!

[@WimGrundy]

... every bit as awsome LIVE and LOUD after all these years - and they give yet MORE!

[@alkymyst1]

yea one of my most favourite tracks of all time.. thanks for loading it.. bird, rise high from the cinders. Leave it all behind, All the ruins and the fire...

[@rickydlayaute5387]

[@neferahmore]

What a great group, fantastic musicians!

[@1234tla]

TeddehSpaghetti, YOU ARE SO RIGHT, Use to set in my room in GERMANY, while in the Army and let the MUSIC.get into my head. LOVE THIS BAND!

[@TheNight-Rider]

guitar skills, vocals,elegance, a class of their own, everlasting

[@ProgBartleby]

Saw them in RI two nights ago. Best 20 bucks I ever spent. Different guitarist and drummer...both great. They ended with Phoenix. It was truer to the original than this performance. It was as intense a song I've seen performed live in years. See this band! Great performance rock! Fabulous!

[@megcorten]

Who's still loving this in 2020 👌

[@rickydlayaute5387]

[@steadysteve54]

Great Video..Wishbone Ash in on tour in the US this spring and summer 2008.I'll be at ROSfest on May 4th.Wishbone Ash and Crack The Sky are the headliners..

[@daviemcf]

One of my favourite bands from the '70's,excellent!!!

[@fierrote]

This band never seems to amaze me. I first heard them back in 1972 (with their albums Argus and W.A. Live) and they became one of my favorite bands. I hope they still tour and come to So. CaL.

[@dlamb2840]

Absolutely LOVE that introductory solo. Relatively simple and nice n slow but ultra melodic. Just lovely.

[@davytheravy]

What can I say that hasn't already been said? One of the best tracks of all time - amazing!

[@LedHed65]

This is the first time ive heard this...Im numb! Awesome!

[@CatrionasRidiculousChannel]

This just leaves me speechless... and that's saying a lot for me!!!

[@QFEguy]

Somebody turned me on to WA right after I got out of the army in '72 and I've never tired of them. I used to have a big ten inch ... reel-to-reel tape with nothing but these guts on it. Put it on and I was good for the next 4(?) hours.

[@MrHankiepankie]

Ben "Grande Maestro" Granfelt - Just amazing !!!

[@singler1]

This is some of the best guitar work I have heard in rock music

[@suzangreenier3351]

Omg. I forgot all bout I had they'd album in 73..i was 15 or 16... God I forgot! Until heard them wen turn in to hair nation on my xm in truck..gosh I wanna go back

[@megcorten]

Awesome !! Still my favourite band live

[@badchris69]

Ben Granfelt has rarely been so good: truly amazing! And one of the greatest line-ups they had..

[@dlamb2840]

Love that intro solo!

[@VTOLmad]

First time I have heard this 'version', really loved the innovation with more emphasis on the guitars, great guys, thanks :)

[@schenker4]

Saw Wishbone Ash last night and what a awesome band. The not so new guitar player was perfect as was the band not a wasted note all night.

[@MacDisel1]

Live Dates is a great album with awesome artwork for the cover. One of my favorite album covers.

[@josbots]

een van de weinige nummers, die tijdloos zijn !

[@robinloving81]

I absolutely bow to these artists!

[@gustavorafaelcasarotticons670]

one of the best song of WA ever!

[@jafad65]

As a Led Zep and Yes devotee. I think this rates over anything and everything. God bless Beaconsfield, UEA and Oman..

[@BozCobra]

Good song. And very good playing.

[@deckvent]

Exactly how i felt when i saw them at Slough Community Centre in 1970 and have been ever since

[@hcmafaka]

best song!

[@Sherlock88]

they are absolutely amazing...saw them live yesterday night :)

[@amyleigh02]

allways have been a favourite band of mine but i feel that they never recieved the recognition that they deserved.

[@MetalHealing]

the best job i've ever seen

[@989Mojo]

love it, love them ... fantastic

[@scottdietzel2341]

my first concert ever. 1972-Allen theater, Cleveland.

[@LukasFin]

I looove this! More pls!

[@THX1948]

The music is as good now as it was in the 70's.

[@LifeOfBryan8]

Exactly, I'm 24 and I guess that's considered young still for these guys, but my dad got me into them when I was like 12.

[@magnusbruce4051]

oh wow - best version I've heard yet!

[@dimitriprovocov]

great sound,great band,what a music

[@ploermel56490]

very good version. thx !!!

[@stevelubbock]

I believe that sometime around 1970 Deep Purple were preparing for a gig and Ash were support before they had a record deal. Ritchie Blackmore was jamming and then Andy Powell plugged himself in and the two started jamming together. If they shared the riff then, then they both took advantage of it. Great one guys! PS You will also find it on Genesis - The Knife.

[@c0rr1x]

What a genius badass song !!

[@CONDOMSENSE]

Saw them at Cardi's night club on Westheimer in Houston in 1980. 50 feet from the stage. Awesome!

[@Bibu231060]

Whouaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ! From France :-)))))))))))

[@zzsandyN]

This was a GREAT album.!

[@ichbinzehn]

Still good since over 30 years!!

[@sportsportsport]

[@sewnrose2]

@daven58100 guarantee live versions are their very best started with them in 70's live dates the double album still have it. No turn table tho. bummer. rock and roll widow used to blow my speakers out everytime i played it. had good pioneer receiver amped out to hell and b/o speakers, still couldn't take it... throw down the sword, the king will come, phoenix and persephone are incredible in my 60's and still love em.

[@ashbone626]

[@Mskickdesk]

[@sammysouth8372]

First concert I ever went to Apollo theatre Manchester England 1980 or 81

[@TheNight-Rider]

awsome song.

[@BozCobra]

Cool guitar, the goldtop. I want it!

[@zorazen2]

Music Was Better in the 70's! Backyard or Weekend Parties! Amazing Guitars Synchronizing together in harmonious patterns, recurring in Sequences and Successions of soaring spectrums of stupendous streams of marvellous muzik! Raise your Head to the Sky!

[@62porcupine]

I initially looked these guys up when I found out they had been an influence on Iron Maiden. Glad I did.

[@old-guyyes958]

in 1972 +- these guys opened for Steve Miller in KC, Missouri at a place called cowtown ballroom (?) They were great and Steve Miller was a jerk. He stated he was better than that last band before he set up!! He never had a chance to play.. We all left!! WA super group!!

[@robinmackintosh5764]

Any chance you saw them in Lawrence 1972?

[@ronwrightjr505]

Amen brother! I love them.

[@alanfisher4399]

Old -guy yes blow steven miller band away any time any day my friend

[@mi1964amigo]

Current line-up is : Martin Turner ~ vocals, bass. Ray Hatfield ~ guitar, harmony vocals. Danny Willson ~ guitar, harmony vocals. Dave Wagstaffe ~ drums, percussion, harmony vocals.

[@CatrionasRidiculousChannel]

@daven58100 They are. The studio never does them justice, but live they are second to none. Fantastic band, and great people too (:

[@tessman3]

my favourite one! *.*

[@CONDOMSENSE]

What a beautiful voice. Still sounds like 1970.

[@ichbinzehn]

The best!

[@riric666]

Great moment seems like Deep Purple a moment,or Deep Purple seems like... From France !!!

[@BGoldtone]

Great kick ass playing from the "Strat man"!

[@illilifilirx]

Hell yeah man!!!!

[@PrimusRodd]

arguably one of the pioneers of the synchornized lead guitars concept...later perfected by iron maiden...i agree..these guys never got the credit they deserved...SALUTE!!!

[@dolau12]

Saw them last night- this was their finale number
