This Rockpalast was recorded on 1st December 1976 in the Sporthalle Cologne and shows the inventors of the legendary “dual lead-guitar/twin guitar sound” with the classical line-up of the band from Andy Powell (guit., voc.), Martin Turner (bass, voc.), Steve Upton (dr.) and Laurie Wisefield (guit.) in captivating form and mood. In 1976 Wishbone Ash were at the zenith of their career. Their albums, from “Pilgrimage” to “New England”, reached worldwide top positions in the album charts, were refined with silver and gold, the band was constantly on tour around the globe and tracks like “The King Will Come”, “Warrior” or “Blowing Free” achieved cult status among fans of guitar-oriented progressive rock and are milestones in rock history. Characteristic of Wishbone Ash is their melodic, guitar-oriented rock, which is dominated by two electric guitars played in duet. In addition there is an almost ballad-like vocal style. This Rockpalast edition is a must for every Wishbone Ash fan!

After every song, I was like "gotta click like", and then realized that I can't click like for more than once in the same video...
Hard to find that type of guitar playing anywhere today. Great Great band!!!! Really miss those days of my life. Just great music and fans. Everyone was so cool. Saw them live incredible show!!!!
There are two versions of the band these days. Andy Powell’s Wishbone Ash and Martin Turner’s Wishbone Ash. Martin’s version has the trademark good vocals and great bass guitar.
Only current band today with a great 2 guitar attack is Umphrees McGhee.
I have observed that musical genres tend to go through phases, 1.) raw and primitive stage, 2.) teenybopper stage, 3.) artful and insightful stage, 4.) legacy stage, 5.) blatantly commercial stage, 6.) decline. In 1976 Wishbone Ash were definitely in that artful and insightful stream of rock music.
Agree, greetings from Germany!
I've been a fan of theirs since the early days. I last saw them at a blues club in Phoenix Arizona around 5 or 6 years ago. Always great guitar playing. Not much like this anymore these days. I've been a drummer since 1964. So many great memories.
I absolutely love Wishbone Ash! I have eight of their albums and I wish I had more! The King Will Come,The Warrior, Ballad of the Beacon! Blowing Free are some of my favorite songs! I just love the twang of their duel guitars!
Get them all.
I agree. I've seen them multiple times, starting g in the mid seventies.
Definitely one of the greatest/tightest bands I've ever seen.👌
Superb. I loved both the original line up and that with Laurie Wisefield.
I saw this tour and their sound system was the best I've ever heard.
Laurie and the original Ted are both superb players.
Really good guitar players. Just another fantastic British band in the 70's Invasion. Best time in the world for a teenage rock fan. The talented bands were endless. My fav was Blowin' Free!! Crank it up!!!
Fantastic guitar sounds!
I find myself watching this every other day. Rock and roll perfected.
First learned of Wishbone Ash when they opened for The Who in Edwardsville, Illinois - c.1972. With-in the week, I had the debut album. I've seen them 9 or 10 times since then. St. Louis, Memphis and Germany.😊
I love this! Been a Wishbone fan since 1971. But that "inventors of the dual guitar" sound, if I can mention the Allman Brothers for a moment....
Or triple guitar Fleetwood Mac!
Quicksilver Messengers? Grateful Dead?
How's about the Rolling Stones.
One of the greatest,and tightest bands I've ever seen.👏👏👏👏👏
Wishbone Ash eine meiner allerliebsten Rockbands die ich je kannte! Diese Jungs habe ich schon 4 mal in den 70er und 80er Jahren gesehen. Wahnsinnig gute Musik!
Das war immer ein unglaublicher Genuß vom allerfeinsten mit großartigen Musikern wie Martin Turner, Andy Powell, Steve Upton und Laurie Wisefield. Und 2 mal war auch der Bruder Ted Turner als Gittarist dabei.
kann ich nur bestätigen, die Band gehört auch zu meinen absoluten Favoriten. Wenn Andy Powell das Video sieht, speziell seine Gibson Korina Flying V (bei Blowin Free) , die er Rudolf Schenker für ein Butterbrot verkauft hatte und heute zahlen Sammler über eine Million Euro für das Modell. Die ander Flying V hatte er gegen eine Lederjacke von Schenker getauscht. Selbst diese 67er Gibson kostet heute locker 50.000 Euro. Ich durfte einmal Martin Turner kennen lernen und er war sensationell nett, Andy Powell hingegen war leider das genaue Gegenteil.
Ted ist nicht der Bruder von Martin.
gell 😃
Excellent performance, that we are so lucky to enjoy!
Argus is still One Of The Finest Rock Albums of All Time.
Rockpalast was a seriously great music education back then !!! Thank you, Alan Bangs & Co. 💚🤘
This!
Awesome music and show!!!
Cheers from southern Brazil!!!
An era gone with the wind 💨
Forever in memory, recorded in camera and in audio... So...
Saw them 3 times in the 70s….once with Ted and 2 times with Laurie….just great!!
Saw this line up in the UK same year - magic
Andy and Laurie played well together
Long time rock n roller here. First time listening to the Ash. Won't be the last. Cool sounds. Thanks for posting.
Welcome to an amazing and talented group of musicians! My favorite album is "Wishbone Ash, Argus", you've got to listen to the entire album! I got turned on to these guys way back in '73 (8th grade), and have listened to this album over and over until the album had been way over-used. Now I just listen to their music online like this awesome live recoding! Thank you MIG Music for sharing
Sorry to say, as a long time Rock n Roller you should know this Band.... ;)
Anyways, better late, than never... :)
at 7th grade I picked them as my fave "live dates!" n at 63 I still love what they do!
Lead guitar player... Awesome!!! Wicked smooth! Looks so chill while rippin' it up!😮
Great live performance! Sounds superb I really dig it!
Classic
This is Music
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It's hard to find this kind of guitar playing anywhere nowadays. these guitar riffs and very simple tricks, great band!!!! They have been playing for almost 40 years, I listened to them in the 80s and today, after more than 30 years, I miss them for their songs and those guitar riffs until you want to listen to them I miss their sound and for this album Live at rockplast maybe you can get it Simply great music.Thank you very much and greetings from beautiful Poland.Leks Bedney Bednarek.
Check out Mike Zito if you want riffing the guy is superb.
🗣 My *Favorite group* from the 70s. I bought the *VHS* concert in London in the mid-eighties 😎

Thank you for posting this recently released rarity. I think that WA's kind of music went over most American's heads. Maybe a bit to intricate, plus no "macho" lead singer out front strutting around. Following them for 50 years now, since Argus. Plus I've been playing guitar since 71. Major influence for me. Bless em all.
I saw them in Hornsea, East Yorkshire circa 1970
What a great concert. The one band/ half band which I saw as early as 1973 at PinkPop in Geleen and recently in 2019 in Afrika and sometimes in between.
All the time they were just tight and wonderful. And, while learning to play Snooker in Germany's Kneipen, there was ever so often Phoenix blaring from the speakers. Lovely stuff.
Amazing band...
Laurie Wisefield. I still remember him when he came to Japan.
Excellent!!!
I love these guys, I still have a BBC radio broadcast from 78 I think recorded at Hammersmith, on the No Smoke Without Fire tour and I saw them a year or two later at the same venue touring for Just Testing.
By the time this happened a was a few years too young to really take it in and appreciate it. Getting to hear and see this today again is such a great gift!
Thank you, MIG Music!
Excellent guitar players with primo guitar tones, in fact they;re all great musicians and I'm not that familiar with their material but they come across live very strongly!
1971, I was blowing free in England. Wishbone Ash on BBC Old Grey Whistle Test opened up with a drum roll, a thundering bass & a killer hook intro. The song was 'Vas Dis' then transitioned into 'Jailbait'. A spellbinding set from virtual unknowns that still wows today. At 17 I decided that night I was a guitar player. That was 52 years ago, now 69 I'm still playing perhaps not as blowing free as I was then but I really wouldn't have any other way. 'Time was' indeed, thank you Wishbone Ash !
Same age as me.
I also remember being knocked out with this bunch in '71. Still have the first 4 albums in the attic...
@@BassistPaul👍🏼only 65yrs dun here but 10 WA albums🙏🏼 Front Page News🎸
I would have been 15 during this concert, where in the heck was I, how did such a cool band pass me by? I was into Prog Rock bands like ELP & Yes, oh well, better late than never, as they say. What fantastic musicians! Their song “Blowin’ Free” feels so magical & mystical like it was written about lil’ ole me;
“Her hair was golden brown,
She was far away, I found it hard to reach her, She told me “you can try”
But it’s impossible to find her”;
I’m an Enigma …✌️❤️
Mesmerised by this
I have never heard of these guys! How did I miss this for 40 years?
You missed a lot! I saw them first in 1978... Seen them three more times since then. Very excellent band. They even stayed after the show once to chat with fans and sign autographs!! I got to say hi to Andy and the other guys, what a great evening!
A lot of people missed out on such a great band. I’m 65 and ask people my same age who were into good bands and music if they have ever heard of WA and many never have. I still pull out my Live Dates CD and listen to it now and again.
Incredible, saw them the first time when I was 17 and always followed.... (60 now) :D
You need to kick your own ass, at least you found them before it's too late.
Am 06.02.24 in Basel Live gesehen und immer noch Superband.
Those Matamp stacks behind Andy Powell are epic!
For reals - quick glance I thought cigarette machine ?! 🤣
Andy Powell 🌟🌟🌟
I love Warrior. They used to play this song on WMMS and WNCR in Cleveland when I was 17. Where has the time gone?
\m/ from the 216
Gracias por subir. Whisbone Ash y Camel son mis grupos favoritos. Saludos!
Suono limpido ma poca inventiva
Great Rockpalast..Konzert..🎸
Rich melodic speech, harmonies breathtaking orchestration constantly renewed in the use of the stamps of the instruments, in short a babylonian sound architecture erected by humbles and impetuous interpretes-composers🌺
Saw the Original line up in New Orleans at a venue called the Warehouse, 72, Front Row, Ted Tuner and Andy Powell were playing Telecasters. Argus one of the
great Rock Albums.
Andy Powell plays a Gibson Flying V and Ted Turner Plays A Les Paul Or Fender Stratocaster
I saw them at the Warehouse in New Orleans in 1976 with Styx opening.
@@tori250 They were playing tele's that night.
Live dates is the ultimate WA. That album got played until even people I didn't know knew every word of every song. Now that is somethin'. Saw them twice and both were great shows. Blowing Free was always a get up and move your ass cut.
Winterland early 70z never forget opened for Humble Pie. Thank you I almost forgot.
This is great.
I saw them in 1976, the best concert I ever saw!
Melhor banda com twin guitars dos anos 70 e um mix de hard rock,blues e progressivo! Indispensável para os aficionados da guitarra.
I was wondering about this band without Ted Turner, but wow, Laurie is awesome.
Coole Mucke…hab ich vor über 30 Jahren mal live in der Zeche Carl gesehen
I love their work, and wish there were more like them. Good band, I was too late to see them here in the US. seems like they do not tour here anymore. Rock on Wishbone Ash
Visit germany, they are touring here year for year, in smaller venues, they are here though... :)
What an asset Laurie Wisefield was.
understatement of the century......🖤♠
Die Gitarren Arbeit ist unschlagbar !!! Great!!! 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
first year I saw them live on the New England tour
Brilliant band.
There's a touch of Ronnie Montrose now and then, a time capsule indeed 👍
Saw that tour in mcr I was 17 and they were superb. A big deal then. Powell's tone!!!! Wisefield was superb in that line up. Look at the wear on that Strat neck. Collectors item now but a tool for the job. Hamer bass. First time we had seen their stuff in Europe. Rick Nielsen was still unheard of
Actually, it's Wisefield. But the Hamer bass ... I think you're right about that. However, I remember having found an interview with Martin in which he explains why he didn't use the Hamer much (basically because he couldn't get used to the way the controls were wired). So this must be one of rather few gigs in which this instrument can be seen.
He used Thunderbird basses but thought the Hamer was their version.
He moved to them from thunderbirds. Hammer prob started up around them
Листья дуба падают с Ясеня! 😮Не хрена себе, -сказал я себе! 😊❤Спасиба-а-а-о-у!
Bravo !!
Отличная группа. Для меня Открытие👍
One of the best concerts I ever attended
Браво за качественный звук!
Здорово 👍 рок 🎸 навсегда здорово 👍
Their melodic music really influenced a lot of the modern fusion and trippy bands of the 80s and so on.
Был на их концерте в Питере в 1987м. Замечательная и необычная группа.
Я тоже был там, год не помню, но точно- это было в "Юбилейном". До этого только слышал об этой группе, то-ли на "толпе", то-ли в "Клубе", после этого начал собирать их пласты...
what a performance....
The best line up of 'the Ash'. Albums 'There's the rub' and 'New England' were more than great.
wishbone four mon ami ..
o.c. convention center, almost unsung heroes...still jamming I think.
Veri good!
Best группа....не все его понимают...соло гитарист чего стоит..!!!!!!!
Debería haber cómo en el deporte un premio a la regularidad y éstos se lo llevarían de largo: la de rodajas que han editado,la de años que llevan sin ser grupo de arena,lo increíble que suenen hoy día aún con las bajas del núcleo original y por supuesto ese distintivo que es doblar las guitarras.Levan desde 1970 pero si los ves en 2024 te hacen saber que el R N R tiene para largo.Son excepcionales.
Coooooollll❤❤❤❤❤
Trop bien, souvenirs
depuis 1974 je suis wishbone concert et autres magnifique !
It's terribly sad how the best hard rock band in the world began to fall in this way..
I saw them in 1972 (original lineup), set list from the 1st three albums. As good as advertised. 🎸
Отличный концертник! Звук и исполнение все на высоте!
❤Gooooöd äääänd Greath!
Круто.😊
Saw them in South Africal in the eighies, they opened for Nazareth and I liked them a little more - great show at Sun City
I gotta get to Fur Peace Ranch in Nov.✌🏼AND Ft.Wayne🎸2024
thanks!
Hear the Elizabethan twang in King will come ? Warrior ?
This is a band for ppl who really know music! Not sure but I think, first band to ever have duel lead players!???
Just fantastic, better than the official Live album before.
The True Real Wishbone Ash ⚡️🔥💪👊😎🤘
❤❤❤ Ich liebe diese Band über alles. 😊😊😊😂😂😂🎉🎉😂

Man do hear Bonham influences in those drum fills
Yes he has a lot of dynamics
Some great short leads and closing beats
I didn’t listen to them much. We had a band in the early 70’s. We played the pilgrim and blind eye. I thought they were great.
👌🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🎸🎶🎶🎶👏👏👏👏👏❤
Wonderfully well recorded and mixed. Wonder who mixed it?
