69 too and seen them many times in England, When I watch on UA-cam brings back great times, times never to come back sadly, now where's my cheesecloth shirt😅
I agree with @rickhensley5963 about the British rock band Wishbone Ash. Their music is a superlative blend of bluesy guitar playing and progressive rock compositions with lyrical content that borders on the mystical. I have seen them perform live, no less than three times in my hometown of Bombay (Mumbai) in India during the 1980s. The lineups then featured Andy Powell and Steve Upton, Turner brothers (once each if I recall correctly) and guitarist Laurie Wisefield as well. Great songs, without any doubt! Argus, There's The Rub, No Smoke Without Fire... all still stand out as fantastic albums along with some of the undocumented live shows (like the ones i mentioned in India).
+Rog Shrubber Myself and friends didn't underrate them. Right up there with the best. They didn't get radio time because the dumbass radio producers couldn't pin a genre on them. How about just kickass music/rock & Roll
Sorry to butt in again folks, but I just can't stay away from this fantastic clip. It is perfection from start to finish. The composition, the vocal, the bass, the drums, the guitar work and the synergy are just utterly faultless. If there is a better recorded live performance from a rock band on YT, I have yet to see it.
Yes, I've commented before on this channel about this performance, too. Stunning guitar work from both Andy and Laurie. Beautiful solos full of soul and feeling. I never tire of it.
Completely agree guys, what a brilliant track, the guitar riffs anazing, but also percussion and base, the whole track is mesmerizing, got to be the most underated band ever😀
This particular performance is somewhat of a reoccuring 'fix' for me... We had a power cut last night and with candles lit all around, there was nothing left to do but play a guitar.... As I was noodling around the fretboard, I drifted into the opening solo of Persephone, which I learned to play - albeit crudely - over 30 years ago (when I had the Flying V...).... When the power returned, I just had to listen to this lovely ballad agian, so I cued -up the studio version [There's The Rub] to listen to through my Senheiser headphones... Something I highly recommend your guys try... After which, I've been humming it all day ! Earworms being what they are... So, I had to return to the best live version I know of. THIS ONE.
Wishbone Ash was one of the best bands that ever lived on the face of the earth. By the way, a common thing in Great Britain, where you have the best of rock for decades! What is to kill in Wishbone Ash, besides a total commitment to the proposal of a simple, clean and wonderful rock, is to do everything with this quality only with the basic instruments, drums, bass, guitars base and solo and nothing else . And the vocalization ... is awesome! I discovered this band by chance in 1974 and since then my life has changed! Worthy of a Pink Floyd, Led, Deep Purple and stuff like that. Even with the Beatles ... I am a passionate about this classic band and the Argus album is undoubtedly one of the best ever performed by these geniuses, as good as the Sargent Peppper's ... Paul Pecchio, from S. Paulo, Brazil.
You can't compare the complexity of wishbone ash with led Zeppelin or pink Floyd, and thanks to Alan parson they found their defying sound on their album dark side of the moon .
Oh man, this takes me back to my youth... I was 19 years old, in the army, and so in love with a girl that didn't care about me... Their music was a baulm that kept me going on...
This has to be my favorite Wishbone Ash tune. It has so much emotion, while it tells a great story. As someone once quoted: "Persephone is like a fine wine, to be sipped gracefully, rather than guzzled down like a stein of beer". I couldn't agree more. Really enjoyed this video and based on the thumbs up responses, 98.2% agree on this.
Persephone - Wishobne Ash - utwór który ma tyle lat, a za każdym razem słucha się jak by była to nowość, ballada jedyna nieosiągnięta miłość muzyczna. Słuchając gitary masz ciarki ... Za każdym razem, w każdej możliwej chwili. Jeden z najlepszych utworów jakie zostały wydane na świat. Perfekcja
Lyrics There's a light that shines on Persephone, Always a fire in her eyes, And the last time that I went to her I could tell things weren't right. I just don't care to see your years go wasting, There's no longer magic in your eyes. In your time, you could outshine everybody else around, But your off-stage ways might be a bore - You take a bow, you take a fall. I just don't care to see your years go wasting, There's no longer magic in your eyes. I came to be here in the footlights, To live with you through every song, And your face displays a peaceful field. I can't believe the curtain has to fall. Now I know your years were never wasted, Tonight I saw the magic in your eyes.
Andy Powell could make that flying Vee sing like no other. What a great double guitar band. Weaving solos in and out of each other. I am so glad I saw them several times. Great live band.
Genau dieses Lied habe ich damals um 1976 im Fernsehen gesehen (WDR=Westdeutscher Rundfunk). Dieser Moment hat mein Leben und meine Einstellung zur Musik verändert. Danke an Wishbone Ash und Dank an stevdr für dieses Video!
I must have played 'There's the Rub' 1000 times. This live version is absolutely awesome! I love when an artist takes a recorded song and gives it artistic flair when playing live! Wishbone Ash is one of the most underrated bands!!
Underrated ???…..They were reckoned to be one of the best live bands of that early seventies era. Where do you people get your ideas from. They were not a singles band which may explain there lack of appearances on TOTP but who gives a shit about that. You obviously are too young to remember. Very highly rated !!!!
I love this band and especially this tune. The albums "There's the rub" and "New England" are fantastic recordings.There is just something about the incredibly complementary sound between Andy Powell and Laurie Wisefield during this span of time. Persephone is such a beautiful and soulful song with exquisite solos and this live version just shines. Thank you stevedr for posting this video.
Yes very true, and complimented by Martins vocals. And listen to Andy Powells guitar at the ending...very very underated band indeed, they are superb Im seeing them live this Friday in Coventry...Andy Powell still belting it out together with Mark Abrahams...superb❤❤❤
Just about my favourite Wishbone Ash song - right up there with "Throw Down the Sword" - I always thought that Laurie did all the main leads on this one - surprising to see Andy in command - anyway, a great ballad, one of the best in rock as far as I'm concerned!
Thumbs up for Martin Turner! Yes, guitar players are awesome (all three of them), but this man is a soul of Wishbone Ash - great singer/bass player. Somehow, he's oftenly left aside and gets the most of "critic" stings...IMHO, that's a shame.
I used to listen to that when I was a little girl in the 80's....my dad would play this on and on...one of the best music ever created....cheers from Poland ;)
I've been listening since ebaut 1975;76 year , from the very beginning, something very beautiful. Nobody has ever created something so beautiful. Great melody and two leading solo guitars. Beautiful sound.
Blinding. What an absolute perfect balance of rhythm, bass, percussian, vocals and lead: total respect and appreciation guys and thanks a million for the share dude :)
Not pioneers but great exponents of twin guitars - Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac were pioneers of this style and Wishbone Ash cite them as a major influence .
Although they had a really had a massive fan base everyone seemed to talk about the twin leads Andy Powell ,Ted Turner initially then Andy an the former Home guitarist.Laurie Wisefield they had a brilliant sound I saw them first at a festival in 72( Buxton ) I always thought that there ability as songwriters was not being celebrated as it should , superbly crafted E.g Time Was , Persephone,Lorelai Leaf and Stream , Sometime World , Phenix and many more For me Argus was so good I played it often and along with there back catalogue any detractors can Kiss my Flying Vee
A song for autumn. Hades gets Persephone as his wife underground for the winter. Her mother, Hera the Goddess of Llife mourns during this time and all growth stops. Persephone returns above once again in spring . And Hera shows her joy in abundant new life. (It's a god thing. Greek mythology.)
Thanks for explaining the myth. I've listened to this song for almost 49 years and never knew the story. By the way, I believe that the song is about Ted Turner. God bless.
Yeah man, those were the days when public German TV was at its best. An entire concert of Wishbone Ash aired during prime time! Still love them in 2014!
argus is one of the great works of rock that will never fade from the minds of all who have even a note of appre. for the talent and sincerity of such a devoted group of musicians. keep music in your head and life will be not so bad .
McDonnell Douglas, you're right, but so is Laurie's solo in the middle of the song. Utterly beautiful. It's a pity that the camera just misses the flurry of the first few notes. Every note in all of these solos comes directly from the heart.
Andy Powell's guitar from 6.0 onwards - sublime. This is what I saw in Birmingham in 1976 and this is what made me love them so much. I still do. If you haven't done it already, check out Elegant Stealth - tracks Invisible Thread, Give It Up, A Man With No Name, Warm Tears... They're still doing it.
Now I can see where Iron Maiden gets there influence from.Genius spreads I guess.These guys are absolutely amazing,majestic,glorious,arcane,strativariuos,DARN IT! I CAN'T FIND A WORD TO FIT THEIR MAGNITUDE OF AWESOMENESS!
Fantastic tune, way ahead of its time in terms of complexity. Just learn't the intro to this, would love to be able to cover the whole thing eventually.
In mijn jonge jaren was Wishbone Ash een geweldige band en weinig bekend in Nederland. Ik heb het over 1978 of vroeger. Inmiddels leven we in 2012 en nog steeds is dit geweldige muziek. Rob Dikkers
always...always can count on Wishbone's gitars to never disappoint, eh. And, then there is this awesome song that I'd stack up against mos of Argus. Prime Wishbone Ash!
Hard to believe, I first saw WA. over 50 years ago. 1973 in Colorado Springs. I was 15. Still listen to them all the time. Home, truck, Fishing, camping. You get the idea. Second time was during the 2nd Bomb Cyclone in 2019. We loaded our truck up with sleeping bags, blankets, food etc. It was about 75 mile trip. Hardly anyone on the road. WA. made the show in a little van and trailer. About a 1/3 of the people didn't make it,so we got to move down close. Great show. Alot of fun.
I first heard Wishbone Ash in 1972 and they are the best. I've since seen them three times , once each in San Antonio, Houston and Dallas. Come back to Texas, Andy.
Saw them in the 70"s when they opened for Chicago in Tampa Fl. I remember the audience was not sure what to make of them. They were ahead of there time.
I've been playing since the age 13 (almost 60 now) Their first five albums are why! (Rory Gallagher & Savoy Brown as well) Not so much under rated as unknown. Really sad Guitarist and the music community don't know and share the GENIUS! I was stationed in Europe for 3+ years in the and late 70's early 80's Followed these three around at any cost! Truly historical! (spread the word)
Cara, V. ouve uma música, como esta MARAVILHOSA PERSEPHONE e a coisa não sai mais da sua cabeça ! GRUDA ! E o mais importante, não sai mais da sua ALMA ! Estas guitarras são um absurdo ! E a vocalização ??? Sem dúvidas, o que há de melhor do rock melódico e bem arranjado que a Ilha já criou ! Demais... Você ouviu uma vez WISHBONE ASH e nunca mais vai parar de ouvir, simples assim. Ouça uma vez o álbum Argus de 1972 e pare de ouvir, se for capaz ! Paul Pecchio - bairro do Campo Belo - SP
Yes even with Laurie who is a great guitar player. These songs where all written with Ted Turner.. That's why Powell covers more of the song. When I saw Ash with Turner they where great. When I saw Ash with Laurie,,,, playing Turner songs he struggled to play the parts. But man can that Lurie Wisefield play .
Live recordings are definitely the way to go with classic Ash. The whole performance is great, but Laurie Wisefield in particular is such an underappreciated player: that first solo is a little gem.
Just brilliant! I saw Wishbone Ash in 76 or 77 (don't remember the date now !!) at Hammersmith Odeon. What a great concert it was. This track rides high along with a few other favorite WA creations.
I am 69-years-old and have been listening to Wishbone Ash since 1973. Fifty-one years later, they're an excellent band with timeless music. Rock on.
I'm 70, took these guys to college with me on 8-track-tape player !! This one and Phoenix 🙂
I'm 65. Saw the original Band in 1973 at Colorado Springs. Second time in Denver a couple years ago. Excellent Live Band.

I doubted between Rest in Peace and Persephone, but as ballad It's definitely Persephone!

very good
One of my favorites.. Golden Era, good vibes..
thanks thousand millions..
For me one of the best bands ever.

Lyrics
There's a light that shines on Persephone,
Always a fire in her eyes,
And the last time that I went to her
I could tell things weren't right.
I just don't care to see your years go wasting,
There's no longer magic in your eyes.
In your time, you could outshine everybody else around,
But your off-stage ways might be a bore -
You take a bow, you take a fall.
I just don't care to see your years go wasting,
There's no longer magic in your eyes.
I came to be here in the footlights,
To live with you through every song,
And your face displays a peaceful field.
I can't believe the curtain has to fall.
Now I know your years were never wasted,
Tonight I saw the magic in your eyes.
And your face displays a peace fulfilled... surely?
from the compositional point of view Andy Powell's solos are one of the greatest in rock history imho
A genius. Fabulous band.

I like Steve Upton's drumming a lot, in the pocket, dynamic and always listening. Not the most powerful drummer, very "eclectic" maybe?
Great drummer........knew his place in the band. Let the lead guitar do the talking. "Time Was",
"Blind Eye" and "Vas Dis" had masterful drumming.
His kit sounded great live. Must have had really good drum mics. Great drummer.

That is truth.
Left my cd with andy i hope he likes it my name is dale.
Moją młodość zapełniał raczej Emerson Lake & Palmer, czy King Crimson, ale... czapki z głów!!!!
Saw them in the 70"s when they opened for Chicago in Tampa Fl. I remember the audience was not sure what to make of them. They were ahead of there time.
Laurie Wisefield on a Strat this time .where is Ted ? .must check and find out why he left the band !
Sublime old Andy there in his prime
I've been playing since the age 13 (almost 60 now) Their first five albums are why! (Rory Gallagher & Savoy Brown as well) Not so much under rated as unknown. Really sad Guitarist and the music community don't know and share the GENIUS! I was stationed in Europe for 3+ years in the and late 70's early 80's Followed these three around at any cost! Truly historical! (spread the word)
3:20-3:55 I could watch that guitar solo on repeat all day. 👏✌️🔥🔥
#whatadoll
Which one?
@@charlesbridges8755 Laurie Wisefield’s
Andy is another that makes it look easy
Banda fantastica , das minhas favoritas , guitarras monstro do Andy Powell e Wisefield, belíssima música , masterpiece
Cara, V. ouve uma música, como esta MARAVILHOSA PERSEPHONE e a coisa não sai mais da sua cabeça ! GRUDA ! E o mais importante, não sai mais da sua ALMA ! Estas guitarras são um absurdo ! E a vocalização ??? Sem dúvidas, o que há de melhor do rock melódico e bem arranjado que a Ilha já criou ! Demais... Você ouviu uma vez WISHBONE ASH e nunca mais vai parar de ouvir, simples assim. Ouça uma vez o álbum Argus de 1972 e pare de ouvir, se for capaz !

Is it just me that thinks martin turner is one of the best bass guitarists ever. Its a shame he doesnt get the legendary status he deserves
Andy's solo at the end of this number... one of the best I ever heard from Ash ...one of my favourites anyway.
Nice, enjoyed that
Indeed
This is the best line up ...Ted Turner ...Andy Powell...Martin Turner...Steve Upton...
Yes even with Laurie who is a great guitar player. These songs where all written with Ted Turner.. That's why Powell covers more of the song. When I saw Ash with Turner they where great. When I saw Ash with Laurie,,,, playing Turner songs he struggled to play the parts. But man can that Lurie Wisefield play .
Dla mnie to jest arcydzieło. Pozdrowienia z Polski.
This is a masterpiece for me. Greetings from Poland.

That's about as good as it gets.
Super Sänger, schade, dass die Band in dieser Formation nicht mehr gibt
Just a kick ass tune
Just amazing... Wishbone ash certainly one of the greats in my book.
Live recordings are definitely the way to go with classic Ash. The whole performance is great, but Laurie Wisefield in particular is such an underappreciated player: that first solo is a little gem.
This has to be the best live performance of any band in the 70s . This is just brilliant ...:)
a happy x mass to
all wishbone ash
fans everywhere
gary
Best band, evah!
Just brilliant! I saw Wishbone Ash in 76 or 77 (don't remember the date now !!) at Hammersmith Odeon. What a great concert it was. This track rides high along with a few other favorite WA creations.
Such an amazing composition and effortlessly executed live in the 1970s 😊
beautiful! the middle of song had kind of a Pink Floyd feel, something off Animals..awesome.
This is before Animals, but you're right anyway - wonderful!
Arguably the best WA tune ever. Achingly melodic with brilliant guitars.
This is just a complete,awesome song.
It is so enjoyable to listen to.
Martin actually wrote this song with Ted Turner in mind. They had been great friends and Martin really missed him when he left the band!
Where did you get that from?? The liner notes state it’s a group composition??
@@hartmutcc63 It’s in Martin’s book.
@@paulhoughton5431 yes indeed
Great twin guitars and Martin Turner s fantastic voice brilliant stuff
Best one they ever done ,used to have the vynil album
