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.
I like how at 3:13 there is a young women in her 20's singing along, She must have had good parents. In 1972 there were LOTS of Great Albums that came out and one of the UK music magazines voted "Argus" Album of the Year. This is one of my all time favorites and performed here 40 years later perfectly.
@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.
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... Paulo Sérgio Pecchio Campo Belo neighborhood - São Paulo - Brazil.
I GREW UP WITH THIS BAND, SINCE I WAS 16 YEARS OLD THANKS TO MY NEIGHBOR, HE WAS A ROCKER, 5 YEARS OLDER AND VERY MUCH INTO MUSIC AND A GREAT COLLECTION OF MUSIC FROM POP, BLUES, ROCK, CLASSICAL MUSIC TOO. I,VE LEARNED A LOT THROUGH HIM.....
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
Amazing band! Was a huge fan as a teenager and still am. Saw them at the Coach House San Juan Capistrano California in my 40's when working on a Movie there. Mind blowing! They should be more well known. Classic track!
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!❣😉😁👍🙏
I remember being 16 when the LP hit. Headphones on and eyes closed I 'plugged in' my Gibson Air Guitar and started to play..........stopping only to flip the record, watch the needle drop......close my eyes and walk out to the stage, my Flying V Air Special strapped and a pick in my hand. ROCK!!!!! I miss those days sigh. Thank you Wishbone.😅
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. God bless!
One of the best live concert mixes ever. Could hear everything..... everything. Oh, it is awesome too. One of the first songs I ever played. Long Ago..
I saw them in Torquay inthe 70&svmust have been the and Gus tour blew meaway bought the album nextday listen to it regularly brilliant still today thnkslafs for a gem .
Saw these guys in Norfolk, Ct at Infinity Hall September 28th, 2017...amazing show! Andy's voice gets better and stronger with age! Hope the 50th anniversary show is in Ct...I will be there for sure!
Legendario Grupo en medio de los tiempos finales, The King Will Come! Gracias por compartir Gran presentacion!!!!

This brings a ton of memories from my primary school ! There was a guy called George a drummer who only played their songs and sang every single lyric from all their albums , he had straight long hair down to his waist .. Wherever he is now.. .I wonder..
Love them from day one, love them today and yet - never seen them live:-( New members in - out…. but still same WA flavour which is just genius feel! Many new/old members - still same GREAT WA ! Thanks to Andy for sure! Thank you!!!
Must be great memory for you.... I have seen many great musicians and at the same missed to see so many:-( Purely because 70's and 80's produced so much talent that one lifetime is not enough to see it all. Great times, the best music ever!
Last month I saw the Argus 50th anniversary tour. I have been following these guys since Argus was released. I’ve seen them live countless times, even met the band on the “You See Red” tour at some long closed record store in Edinburgh. This song will be played at my funeral
David Garrett TH-cam has made it possible to hear my second favourite band in all its many different incarnations...Fucking brilliant!! Long may they keep going...
merci à ma marraine de m'avoir fait découvrir cette musique quand j'avais 12 ans, je n'ai rien oublié et c'est un enchantement d'entendre encore ce titre aujourd'hui
All you critics how many of you are actually professional musicians even though it's kind of a tribute band at least they have Andy it's still good music regardless so many are critical but how many are actually putting it out there like this
QUE BUENOS SON COOOÑOOOO---!!!!!!......Qué temazo por dios,guitarras a duo,ese wah wah bien usado,voces afinadas,bajo gordo y empastado,en fin,,un ORGASMO.!!!
The mighty Ash still kicking ass. Argus still one of my favourite albums.. 66 years young. 😂
Saw them a couple of times in the mid 70's. My first concert was Wishbone Ash with Bob Seger as backup at Aragon Theater in Chicago. Great band.
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.

Nice one Mario Super , I saw the original band a couple of times in early 70s ,with new lineup they still sound great today .....
Shame on you never heard of Wisbone Ash!!

I never tire of this song. Never.
No gimmicks here , just pure musicianship and creativity at it,s finest !
Still one of the best guitar riffs ever after all these years. I get goosebumps.

Lucky is a young person whose parents can pass along to them the finest musical craftsmanship.
My Gawd. How good was Wishbone Ash? They were very good as Argus was so awesome and digged it the day I first heard the album. I salute Wishbone Ash/
@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.
What a great journey they take us on! Old English folk song with killer guitars. I can listen to this song all day.
All the time, remembering live concert in Austria, Graz, ❤ with son's, friends and beautiful party on the city mountain 😊
Still brilliant after 40 years.
Indeed, known since 40 years and it still feels so good again and again...
indeed
But isn't there only one original member?

My brother, you said it 100 times better than i could
you forgot about the most important thing and the characteristics that as one of the few bands in the 70s he played with two solo guitars :)
After 40 years of listening regularly to Wishbone Ash, I'm finally going to see them in concert next Sunday, September 28, 2014. Yay!
Bill St. Clair How was it?
I hope he's still alive !...
Great to listen to the music. Always makes the hair stand up on my neck.
You are so lucky.
@@hhhfff7953 mb
I'm fortunate enough to have seen them live (small venue) in 1973 .I watch this video all the time the Argus album one of the best ever
Amazing band! Was a huge fan as a teenager and still am. Saw them at the Coach House San Juan Capistrano California in my 40's when working on a Movie there. Mind blowing! They should be more well known. Classic track!
I listen to this, one or two times a day.
One of my favorite groups in the early 70's. I wore out some 8 track tapes.
My favorite song by a great band with maybe 2 of the best guitarist's ever
February 19, 2020. Happy Birthday Andy Powell . 70 years old today.
