Wishbone Ash, the beauty of simplicity and competence: lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass and drums, NOTHING ELSE. Perfect vocalization, wonderful songs. The best of great English rock! His album Argus, from the early 70s, is a landmark in world music, like Sargent Peppers of the B|EATLES. His song "Persephone", is very sensitive and beautiful: you listens to it twice and it never leaves his head. I met Wishbone Ash by chance in the 70s when I was in my early 20s. I'm 73, he's with me to this day. It's impossible to listen to a W.A. song and not like it. As I said, the best of great English rock...

I'm 32. My whole life I've been a rock enthusiast and musician. Must've lived under a rock because I never heard of the mighty ash. My uncle took me to a concert last year and it was like someone opened the door to a beautiful, alternate universe 😄 Going to see them again in a few weeks. Can't wait.

Mario Super the test of a band is if they make you feel like you’re 17 again. It doesn’t matter if you’ve heard them before or not - do they appeal to the youth within? They do? Love them. They will be with you forever. Forever.

We had a Rock Station called KRST in 1977-9 (now country) and they played music from midnight to 2am that no one ever heard before. I kept hearing Wishbone Ash and thought I really like this. We had a used record store and I bought every Ash album up. FUBB.

And this is only one of them...the flying V player. The rest are hired guns. The original line up was so amazing you lost your mind at their shows.These guys are amazing, too, but like Chris clark hiring some guns and touring as the Byrds. It sounded great, but was like a polished copy band. Better than nothing, however. The 1970 era was so intense you had a hard time picking an album to buy at the store. So many totally excellent bands. Music really mattered back then. We would actually just sit and listen to an album doing little else. Music is the last refuge and reboubt against the slings and arrows.

@Slots 3000. Yes. my girlfriends dad gave me a cassette of Argus he had in his car when I was 15. I was practicing 6 hours every day to finish Classical Guitar Degree, but I was just given a cheap electric and literally used those 6 hours daily for 3 weeks learning every note from it. I love that album so much. and i was HORRIFIED when they RE-RECORDED it... that was just BAD and soulless.

Wow! It’s been such a Very Long time (decades!) since hearing music by Wishbone Ash! I’m from Victoria BC 🇨🇦 whom at 67 yrs. old remembers distinctly first hearing them on the radio (of course!) Lol! in the early 70’s (when I was in my early teens) I absolutely e came a fan, immediately! I’m so happy to have had my memory jogged while reading a comment which mentioned/ recommended them to one of the numerous younger ‘reactors today’.. whom are enjoying ‘discovering’ the wide range of amazing music, those in my general age group had pretty much come to ‘expect as the norm’ .. not realizing just how very lucky we truly were! I started doing some research on the group, and am happy to have found this video clip from their 40th anniversary! (both for my own enjoyment, as well as to be able to it share with my hubby whom although, he’s only a couple of years younger than me.. I’m not sure whether or not he quite, remembers them? irregardless I’m happily getting reacquainted wth their catalogue of music!❣😉😁👍🙏

This is one of my all time favorites and performed here 40 years later perfectly.

Got turned onto this band decades ago by a friend in school. My vinyl is long gone, but I have a lot of this great old music on CD. I wish the original lineup was still out there rocking these old classics, but time marches on, people change, evolve, and have their differences. I realize that bands break up all the time, it’s just a fact of life. I’m just happy that Andy Powell is still rocking out on his trademark Flying V. Thanks for sharing this live performance.

Wishbone Ash, one of the most sensational groups of great English rock of all time! And the reason for this is the extraordinary beauty of the instrumental simplicity capable of generating harmonic exuberance, together with perfect vocalization. Only basic and essential instruments: solo guitar, base guitar, bass and drums, not even a synthesizer, and they produced this sound quality! How ? TALENT ! I don't know if WISHBONE ASH is among the best known in history, but it will certainly be forever among the BEST! Perhaps only "Sargent Peppers" by the Beatles, "Pet Sounds" by the Beach Boys and "Machine Head" by Deep Purple can equal the album ARGUS ... Paul Pecchio Campo Belo Neighborhood Sao Paulo, Brazil
