Best 3 dollars i ever spent on a concert in 1973 along with humble pie. Im 70 yrs.old now and get the stoke i got in 1973. Greatest of times and freakin great music came out it.
3 bucks huh? Wow! I saw Humble Pie at the Earth Tavern in Portland, Ore ( here) for 7.50 and 9.00 Besides Queen, its still best if all my concert attendings! We were both blessed!!
No doubt they have chops but their music did not blend well. The phrases were all over the place and didn’t make sense. Lyrics were garbage. This song had potential but was not pieced together very well.
Love “Blowin’ Free”2:17Ted Turners lead is brilliant. Feels like this mystical-magical song is about lil’ ole me; “Her hair was golden brown, she was far away, I found it hard to reach her.” I’m an Enigma…✌️
1973 -- The greatest year ever. 19 yrs. old, Norton Motorcycle, flying high performance airplanes, traveling and listening to THIS kind of live music every day. Yes it was living a dream....
Wishbone Ash is a band you never hear of anymore. You would think you would hear this song on classic rock stations but you never do. That's a shame because this is one of the best rock tunes ever!
Definitely Wishbone Ash, ive been a 5 decades fan of this outfit they were the first rock band to play tradional ""Celtic and historic ""music and they were great
The line up has changed so many times. It all started to go downhill when they got rid of Ted turner, because "He was too slow" appatrently. SAD ! Brilliant music up to that. IMHO.
I'm now 70 ex. Drummer and saw these guys and humble pie together and your right both of those bands deserve props. Should be in the rock hall of fame in Cleveland.
I usually run to bavk in black and we will rock you ( to warm up) 😊. My bf is going to see them tonight at the Arcada in st. Charles. With the only guy that likes them. He plays band sings blues and rock harmonica.
This was a song that I related to in the early 70s. The girl in my case was so beautiful and cool that she would only ever be in my dreams. We've now been married for 44 years, she's still beautiful and cool and I'm still smitten!
Thank you, Robbie McGuire, for introducing me to this band 55 years ago! This band and so many others! You opened my eyes to a lot of what enjoyed to this day. My old friend.
Agree 💯%. So wish they’d been on my radar back then and I’d seen them perform, like the prog rock genre. Thank goodness for these vids, I love this song especially, it feels like it’s about me; Her hair was golden brown, she was far away, I found it hard to reach her; I’m and Enigma…✌️
This is great. At the risk of sounding old: I think rock music had much more spirit in the seventies and eighties of ast century than it has now. Rock groups like Ash, Led Zeppelin, deep Purple etc. seems to be a thing from the past because no new such groups are emerging any more... Too bad, I will just have to listen to thses old songs!
Every member of the band deserve recognition for their contribution to music especially in the early 70s. Their debut album was a portent to their talent.
My debut live concert in 1978..... Sheffield City Hall......ticket cost about 8 quid I seem to remember......hooked for life......so professional and so good.
I'm sad and happy at the same time if that was possible. I absolutely loved Wishbone Ash and saw them live at Birmingham Town Hall, that famous venue that was so much part of my musical education back in the early 70s. I had all their early albums and had forgotten all about them hence the mixed emotions. I miss those days so badly when we had all our lives in front of us and everything seemed possible. Such a great time to be alive and in your teens and early 20s.
Schön wie die Menschen abgefahren sind zu den Songs von Whisborn Ash damals in den siebziger Jahren. Schön daß ich auch diese Zeit damals mit 16 Jahren miterlebt habe. Klasse Band und damals eine meiner Lieblingsband. Geile Songs haben die herausgebracht. Danke 🌅
1973 senior year. I was awakened every morning by Scoot in the Morning, 99.5 fm out of New Orleans, WRNO . Sweet memories. Young people today have no idea, but I guess every generation says that about their young folks. Enjoy it while you can. Your youth is fleeting.
Roger: WRNO; the Rock of New Orleans! Long live Mike & J. Mark Costello, Weird Wayne, Your Pal Al... Concert trips to Baton Rouge & Gulfport on the WRNO Magic Bus... Back when AOR ruled the air waves. Album Hour... King Biscuit on Sunday nights... WRNO was the soundtrack to my teenage years, and my 20's.
Agree with you 100% I'm proud to say that I am of the few who listen to wishbone Ash and I'm only 20. I saw Matin turners wishbone in Shepherds bush almost a month ago. Must have been 1 out of 4 of the youngest there. This band rocks big time. Wish my generation had music like this now. But we dont. Anyway Rock on!
I’m 32 now. I have never heard of this band before, my family friend Tom took me to see this band for the first time in my life until that night. That was 7 years ago. What an amazing night of my life, I got to meet mr Powell for like a minute. My father was in line. I guess from my memory mr Powell what did you think of the show? I guess I said it was BRILLIANT*. He laughed his ass off. My dad and Tom told me he is Scottish and that is why he laughed, he enjoyed it.
This is definitely a great feel-good rockin' classic! Full of great riffs, superb tempo-changes, the opening is excellent ... Wishbone Ash is one of the most underrated and generally unknown bands of all time. My brother turned me on to these guys when he took his stero and record collection to college, and left me virtually tune-less. Ash, Yes, Todd Rundgren, Alice Cooper, Grand Funk and Dave Mason were the five albums he left me. Been a HUGE fan of five of the six ever since ...
Back when bands had talent, wrote their own songs and played all the instruments themselves. Argus is one of the best albums ever done. Top 100 easy out of tens of thousands.
Saw them in the 70s in colo spgs Colorado. Argus made me want to march into battle with the king. .im 63 now and still listen to argus a couple times a month.
And I am 66 with a similar story. My high school and college days were so full of the explosion of great talent and great music exploring many directions. Today's "music?" Ack!
Ah yes... but how about the Deluxe Edition of Argus with a live BBC set from the Paris Theatre in 1972? A good way to end a hard day at work, I'd say...
@@stankatic8182 Yeah probably right but it’s hardly been out of one of my CD players in years. UFO double is also fab and some of the Whitesnake also good. But as I’m very much stuck in Classic Rock territory. Was in Glasgow to see AC/DC doing the Blood live and I can’t forget the mighty Quo who I also saw do the live album there. Sadly that venue no longer exists. But those were the days of Man and Guitar and a Marshall Plexi or Superlead. No big fancy stadiums and flashing lights and pedalboards the size of suitcases. Just hard rock at its best.
I always liked AC/DC live from Donnington Castle. It’s basically a greatest hits with more lively sped up versions of everything. Whole Lotta Rosie really cooks. After hearing those versions so many times, when I hear Back in Black come on the radio it just seems slow and really laid back lol
Saw them perform about 3 years ago. Only original member is Andy Powell and he was absolutely amazing! Hubby saw them in the 70’s in their prime! ❤❤❤🎶✌️🎸
Whenever I can I turn my son on to some of the old music that I grew up listening to and he always tells me that he has already heard that! He is soon to be 39 years old! And he knows more about the music I grew up with than I do! Amazing! A very musically inclined young man!😊❤❤❤
You got that right !!..Argus possibly one of the best English rock albums ever ..certainly ever track perfect ..seen em in 82 in Lisdoonvarna..line up had Laurie Wiseman Andy Powell and Trevor Boulder from Bowies band on bass ..brilliant
They were a great band. I saw them 3 times in a club in New Orleans called The Warehouse.I was 14 and 15 & 16. Still have all my ticket stubs. What a great time it was for music. Lisa
The Warehouse was one of the best venues for live music in the 70's; saw so many great shows there- Joe Cocker, Ten Years After, Blue Oyster Cult, ELO, Dave Mason, Eric Burton, Alvin Lee, Allman Bros., Peter Frampton, Rush, Brian Auger, etc., etc.
Some of the most beautiful melodies ever played are on this Album. Still playing the vinyl after all these years and it still sound magic. Saw them live at Lancaster University in 76 or 77 (too old to remember which) but I’ll never forget the gig.
My first concert Head East, Aerosmith and Wishbone Ash at Mississippi River Festival Edwardsville Illinois.....the two leads were amazingly powerful for me.....this is the line up that I like the best ....but the newer ones are quite good as well....am 60 now still a fan....
I so loved this band. Had a hard time finding others that liked em' too. At times it was difficult to find their albums. They rocked big time. I particularly loved the harmony guitars. These guys and the Allman Bros.
I can't believe this concert is 51 years old, such a great rock band. I saw them live in Waikiki back in 1974 when I was 18 and there was Kona Gold being passed all around and we were all tripping on blotter acid. Good times if you were a Head...
I loved seeing Wishbone Ash live. I remember the guitarists standing back to back and walking each other back and forth across the stage jamming out killer riffs. Very cool!
Love these guys and this song. Way back, when I was 18, 1971, a couple of friends and I would drive up to Kenosha WI to go drinking from the burbs of Chicago. IL still was 21 and WI was 18. We found one of those college stations way at the end of the dial that played progressive rock songs and when we heard Phoenix we went wild. I had to run out and find that album and bought it as soon as I could. Loved all the songs on it. Love their work.
LOVE Wishbone Ash, I saw them during the (US) Live Dates Tour, the middle band was Camel and the opening band making their first tour was a band a had never heard of, but when on to be sorta big..........KISS (really)...!
Happy Birthday to Steve Upton, drummer with the great blues rockers Wishbone Ash. It's a very rare story in the hectic, unpredictable world of music that a guy, especially a drummer, would stay with a band for 2 decades. That alone should win an award of some kind. He was born today in 1946.
There was a harmonious richness to their sound, it seemed to be laced with inherent beauty bound up in myth and legend. Argus was a rock album of seminal importance, these guys played with control and passion which rendered them more like a warm desert wind than a rock juggernaut.
Excellent post ROSS!! You summed up the parts that truly made the unique "wishbone" sound. They are quintessentially british as humble pie, zepp, mott the hoople and uriah heep and iron maiden after them. Even though those bands sound nothing alike their english blood and unique phrasing are the ever present but suttle voicing of these bands. Long live the (brian may) Queen!!
Being a Wishbone fanatic followed and saw this band live all over the world.....they are the best ever at what they do.......twin lead guitars still sounds so fresh.....roll on November Edinburgh, Glasgow then Lochgelly what a week for me that will be good times coming back.....remember never ‘ Throw Down the Sword’....
Best 3 dollars i ever spent on a concert in 1973 along with humble pie. Im 70 yrs.old now and get the stoke i got in 1973. Greatest of times and freakin great music came out it.
3 bucks huh? Wow!
I saw Humble Pie at the Earth Tavern in Portland, Ore ( here) for 7.50 and 9.00 Besides Queen, its still best if all my concert attendings!
We were both blessed!!
@@ltodd6184 In the immortal word of Eric Cartman : I really, really, really hate you guys ! ;
I saw them in 73 too. I was a senior in HS. They played with Blue Oyster Cult. It was fantastic.
Cool mon...Cool memory !
Some ways it's so nice to be old. But the whole music scene is completely fake now. At least was real back then. I'm 63.
This was a fabulous band that never received the recognition they deserved !
Argus was a very popular album in '72. WA sort of fizzled out shortly afterwards. One of my favorite Rock albums. :)
They had some amazing guitar solos/jams within many tunes. love um.
I'm sporting a wide stance
Everybody at my school had at least 1 Ash LP (usually _Argus)_
No doubt they have chops but their music did not blend well. The phrases were all over the place and didn’t make sense. Lyrics were garbage. This song had potential but was not pieced together very well.
It was a lot cooler being 20 in the 70’s than 70 in the 20’s
Brother ain't that gospel. I wouldn't change a freaking thing.k kanoa.

A very underated band . what a time for music ! glad i survived the seventies to talk about it .
In 73' I was 16. The song, the audience. What a time. Take me back.
I saw them 4 times live, they were always excellent. Very underrated.
Unexpected thing is how these videos are giving me particular appreciation for that twin lead vocal attack. Great singers, not just players.
YESSS! You are so right ! Great singers and musicians!!!
Saw this band in Winterland (San Francisco) what a treat for guitar lovers
Wonderful song when I heard it as a kid. I’m 62 now and it’s still a wonderful song. The Ash was a great band!!
Music like this will never be made again, Please help and preserve it to share with our children and grandchildren
Hope you did.
I was fortunate enough to see these guys back in 1973 and 72. They are way under appreciated.
I had the 8 track
I'm now 70 ex. Drummer and saw these guys and humble pie together and your right both of those bands deserve props. Should be in the rock hall of fame in Cleveland.
Now 69 years old, but still rocking, doing half marathon still, music like wishbone ash keep me moving mile for mile, one of the greatest bands ever
Am 72 and still walking 20 odd miles a week and saw the band in Lochgelly a year or so ago.

Unsung heroes are Wishbone Ash. Their albums from the early 1970s have stood the test of time.
Going to see them next week
WISHBONE ASH WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITAR BANDS EVER, THEY WROTE GREAT MUSIC ,THEY WERE ONE OF A KIND, GREAT MUSICIANS. Bob.

What a pleasure to watch this great band in Belfast back in the day. Fabulous concert.
A superb 70's live Rock Band. Saw them a couple of times with this line up. Blowing Free was always a highlight
Saw them in London in 73 Brilliant what an Album 💿 Argus 👌🎶🎤🎸🎸
Just another piece of magic music as a teenager growing up with this.🏴
Takes me back - still playing all these nearly every day, nothing like a talent to last 'til the end of time!
Every member of the band deserve recognition for their contribution to music especially in the early 70s. Their debut album was a portent to their talent.
High respect to all four members. High quality music like this is (unfortunatly) no made anymore. Thanks to all members of Wishbone Ash. Much respect.
They are still going but in separate bands, the first 3 Wishbone albums are brilliant rock albums and vastly underrated. 🎸🎸🏴🏴☮️☮️👍👍😎😎
Great Song by these guys. And great guitar picking
I was 12 when my brother played me this band and i have loved them ever since and now I'm 60
My debut live concert in 1978..... Sheffield City Hall......ticket cost about 8 quid I seem to remember......hooked for life......so professional and so good.

The Warehouse was one of the best venues for live music in the 70's; saw so many great shows there- Joe Cocker, Ten Years After, Blue Oyster Cult, ELO, Dave Mason, Eric Burton, Alvin Lee, Allman Bros., Peter Frampton, Rush, Brian Auger, etc., etc.
They were one of my favorite bands of the 70's and even now. Wishbone ash 4 was one of the all time albums for me and still is.
The Warehouse booked a lot of the same bands as the Armadillo in Austin. 2 of the best concert venues in the country
The Warehouse, New Orleans in March 1976, with Styx opening.
Some of the most beautiful melodies ever played are on this Album. Still playing the vinyl after all these years and it still sound magic. Saw them live at Lancaster University in 76 or 77 (too old to remember which) but I’ll never forget the gig.
I first heard WA in '73. Have always loved their music. Just saw Andy Powell in Lake Worth, FL and he can still play it!

LOVE Wishbone Ash, I saw them during the (US) Live Dates Tour, the middle band was Camel and the opening band making their first tour was a band a had never heard of, but when on to be sorta big..........KISS (really)...!
Happy Birthday to Steve Upton, drummer with the great blues rockers Wishbone Ash. It's a very rare story in the hectic, unpredictable world of music that a guy, especially a drummer, would stay with a band for 2 decades. That alone should win an award of some kind. He was born today in 1946.
Should have posted the date! That makes him 11 years older than me . . .
One of the first concerts I went to in Louisville Kentucky. Great times where did all the years go.
The very excellent Wishbone Ash...great footage.
There was a harmonious richness to their sound, it seemed to be laced with inherent beauty bound up in myth and legend. Argus was a rock album of seminal importance, these guys played with control and passion which rendered them more like a warm desert wind than a rock juggernaut.
Excellent post ROSS!! You summed up the parts that truly made the unique "wishbone" sound. They are quintessentially british as humble pie, zepp, mott the hoople and uriah heep and iron maiden after them. Even though those bands sound nothing alike their english blood and unique phrasing are the ever present but suttle voicing of these bands. Long live the (brian may) Queen!!
Being a Wishbone fanatic followed and saw this band live all over the world.....they are the best ever at what they do.......twin lead guitars still sounds so fresh.....roll on November Edinburgh, Glasgow then Lochgelly what a week for me that will be good times coming back.....remember never ‘ Throw Down the Sword’....
Saw Martin Turner in Bristol the night before Dartmouth and the band were superb. Played all the Ash classics and nailed them.
I saw Wishbone Ash 2 or 3 times in concert in the seventies. They were one of my favorite bands. Never hear them on the radio.
Saw Wishbone in the early 70s. Loved them all this time,x
