I have always loved Laurie's playing with Wishbone Ash. This is a nice treat. I have to say about as 'close' to Jeff Beck as I have ever heard anyone sound while not trying to actually cover something he has done.
He played for one of the very best bands to grace the early 70s...HOME.....Along with Mick Stubbs ...singer songwriter, guitarist...The whole band criminally passed by for the major league...Their 2nd album, titled "HOME"...a masterpiece......
I spent a couple of years in the early seventies chasing Home around the West Country while I was at Plymouth Polytechnic. I couldn't get enough of them - just incredible live. John Peel tried hard to increase their exposure by championing them on radio too.
There are about 4-5 albums that l have played consistently over the years and 'Home' is one of them. Missed them when they played Newcastle City Hall...great band
@bobvickers3267 Incredible...that might of been the gig i went to....Rainbow venue !....had a couple of mates that were big Mott fans...Two things I remember, someone threw a manikin from a platform above the stage (part of the MTH show ! ) and being blown away by this new band. HOME...
@@brianwoods2395 My gig was Manchester Free Trade Hall - but obviously same tour. Followed Laurie (and Cliff of course with AC/DC) ever since most recently seeing him perform We Will Rock You as part of orchestra in London a few years ago.
I’ve seen him talk about that particular Fender Strat guitar, an original 1954. Saw him live in 1975 during his first tour with Wishbone Ash. Great guitarist.
I wasn't prepared for this after Robin Trower's intro. He said, "Laurie always gets the place rockin", then Laurie comes out with this beautiful tearjerker of a song. Almost had me cryin.
Since 2002 Laurie had been a permanent member of the band in the hugely successful Queen musical We Will Rock You at the Dominion Theatre in London, playing to audiences totaling over 2.5 million. He also performed with Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen, together with the cast of We Will Rock You and Phil Collins at Queen Elizabeth's Royal Jubilee concert at Buckingham Palace in 2002, and was part of the band for Jeff Wayne's The War Of The Worlds live tour in 2005.
does anyone know the name of this number? And where the version is when Laurie was with Monsters of British Rock? I have seen and heard it on youtube but it is gone now. Anyone??
@@lauriewisefield6232 Laurie dear! Thank you. I really love this number, especially the version you played with the Monsters in the Boerderij in Holland a few years ago. Remember I told you it brought tears to my eyes? Could you send me that version one way or the other? Please? Thank you dear. Hope to see you soon!
@@Yoke Hello Joke! Good to hear from you. So...this tune I wrote to play on the Night Of The Guitars Tour back in the early 90's it's called Dim Sum (which means for the heart). I never recorded a studio version and don't have a recording of the Monsters playing it in Boerderij Holland unfortunately so this is the only version I'm aware of. Sorry it brought tears to your eyes it wasn't that bad was it? Love to All x
@@lauriewisefield6232 Play it again Sam.....uh Laurie! Record it and send it to me! My tears back then were happy tears straight from the heart and I would love to have them again. X
Laurie is one of the very best!
Saw him play as a member of "Home" back in 1972, great band, terribly underrated
One of my favorite players! Very melodic.

Home was the first band I ever saw live in the early seventies - supporting Mott The Hoople. Followed them thereafter.......

No disrespect to Ted Turner, but Laurie was a great replacement for him in Wishbone Ash.
awesome lead guitar player!
Nice video, great music. :-)
What a compliment! If Robin Trower thinks he is great then so do I
I first saw laurie at the students Union in Dundee early 80s never forgot that night

Gymnastics are not necessary to speak through music. in fact it's just the opposite.
