1971 I was blowing free in England. Wishbone Ash on the BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test opened up with a drum roll, a thundering bass and a killer hook. The song 'Vas Dis' transitioned into 'Jailbait', an electrifying set from virtual unknowns who had nothing to lose and a lot to say. That night at 17 I became a guitar player. 52 years later and now 69 I still play everyday and dream, perhaps not as blowing free as I was then, but if I had to do it all again, I would'nt do it any other way. 'Time was' indeed. And a magical time it was, I treasure the memories !
Awesome Ash , just found this and its reminded me of my dad , he loved this band .Dont rest too peacefully dad , I know wherever you are , you will be rocking 🤘
Beautifully tight band and a great sound. I saw them at Reading in 1971 and they were the highlight. Interesting to note that there’s a Strat, a Flying V and a Rickenbacker. To each his own. Excellent drumming too - very musical, not just keeping time. First class. It really sounds as good today as it did then, and not everything does.
if its not live , They sure did an Amazing job making it look like it was live ! Why are you people saying it wasn't live , because I saw them live in 1972 and they were this good live . They were incredible live . did some blues too.
...said the blind man! Lead is in the jack, and just because you can't see an amp doesn't mean there aren't any. Not that they are needed . Ever heard of DI?

Great.........
Jailbait is a perfect construction.
Excellent, simply excellent.👍👍✌✌
Vas Dis -- nice choice
Seen Wishbone Ash 2 days before this recording, @ Redcar Jazz Club, absolutely outstanding music for a 17 year old kid , happy days
wELLINGTON, ST JAMES 70!S
Audio from the first album with a take from the OGWT sessions. Dont quite sync.
Andy Powell's. Flying V is not plugged in. No amps in sight. Sounds identical to the original album recording. Miming.

True, artists didn't play "live" on the OGWT, pretty sure only the vocals were live. The music was prerecorded in a studio.
que programa voce usa pra melhorar a qualidade do vídeo?
Ted Turner 😋
Miming. If you don't believe me just watch the drummer.
Are they even plugged in?
Maybe Ted Turner is.
I think they're singing live though
Drums matches man
@@ostapbender4414 Drums are covered with muffling pads. It is miming 100%. Steve Upton did it very well, though.
A Brit Allman Bros but not as good.
You should listen to them more and discover their album. Then you can judge.
I don't think they've got anything to do with the Allman brothers. Two completely different styles
@@Hellyeahray21totally agree.
@@steffanhoffmann you have never seen them in person
