One of the best bands ever! They never received the recognition they deserve! And "Handy" is one of the most brilliant rock compositions ever!
I’m not a musician and I’m not an expert at anything in music , but just like your good self I know that they are very very exceptional , could I say brilliant ? Well I couldn’t argue they are not 😊👍😎
My first LP I was 16 ,now I'm 70 still got the LP it's a gem ❤🕊👍🎧
James 😊😎👍
Never a Wishbone Ash fan but just for a moment (only a moment mind) I could hear that magic when you're 16 listening to fine rock music. I'm only 67 so for me it's Atomic Rooster.
For me i was 19
Wow never heard a bass solo like that ever! It's as if the bass was telling a story in its own musical language. Who does that? What an innovator! so inspiring... I'm at a loss for words really.
I was exactly like you 😊👍
Chris Squire does that. 😊
@@ryanr5319yeah, but everyone else spoils it 😜
Named after jazz/blues musician John Handy. They covered Jack McDuff on Pilgrimage ‘Vas Dis’. Wishbone had so many different influences blues and jazz as well as folk. It’s what makes their music so varied and different.
Thank you , so informative ☺️😎👍
Still my favourite Wishbone Ash song by a country mile.
What an honest and unpretentious reaction. So refreshing in today's ego gobbling maniac's. Subscribed. 👍
Very kind words😊 and I hope that I just keep doing what I’m doing for a long time to come , with my ego in check ✔️ really am grateful for your support and sub 😊
Saw Martin Turner play about a month ago , such talent.
I’m going to try catch him 😊😉👍
@@alan-reacts65 Well worth it, I have seen Wishbone Ash a number of times as well as Martin Turner, he is doing the Live Dates 2 album tour at present . He is on the Heat of the Moment Tour with Asia, Curved Air and Focus at some point this year in the States.
@@classiccars1994 if he hits the uk im in
If you saw them play this live it was a real privilage as they rarely did it. When they did do it Steve Upton was let loose with a drum solo and the other 3 took a 5 minute break, oh happy days.
I hear you 😊👍😎
Jammin' at it's best.
This song would've been so much better if it had ended at 15:15. The dual lead guitars by Wishbone Ash is their calling-card which distinguished them from so many other bands in the terrific 1970s. i always loved whenever Wishbone Ash went into their instrumental sections, but I never really cared for their vocals, except for Phoenix, which is another gem. Their first 4 albums are very good, but after that not so much!
Ending the song with a Beatle quote! Phoenix from the same album, as lenghty is the next one to listen to!
Sounds like a plan 😊👍
Memories! I started listening to this reaction while watching a livestream of the volcano erupting in Iceland. The combination of the two really brought back memories of multimedia concerts, early laser shows, and late night parties...Good catch Alan!
Morning Julie 😊 before I reply , check your email today ( apologies for delay ) and I can visualise what your message is about 😊👍
@@alan-reacts65 Hey Alan...no email yet.
I like your analyse of the mood about this intro. Yes, it's really a conversation, you are right, I like what you tell us. I listen to this song anew thanks to you. They took time to develop such great moods on their first album. What a risky but wonderful thing to try.
I was and always am both a little excited and nervous when I’m approaching new songs that are clearly important 👍 thank you for your very kind words 😊 I learn so much from everyone who shares 😎😊👍
One of my favourite bands back in the 1970's. Glad to see new people discovering them.
Another forgotten band from the same era I would recommend giving listen is Uriah Heep. I saw both live several times back in the day.
Tony , good shout , I don’t have Uriah Heep on my playlist or on the channel ! Recommendations? To start up ?
Hi Alan, I was tempted to recommend Salisbury, from the album of the same name, but at 16 minutes I thought it might be a touch on the long side 😄 Instead, from the same album, give 'Lady in Black' a try. This was one of their more 'popular' numbers from the time that got some air time on the radio.
I tried to post a link but YT deleted my comment, re posted without.
I've only found your channel today, but looking at your play list I see lots of stuff that is right up my street as an old rocker from back in the day. You've got a sub from me. Two newer bands that I don't think I saw in the list that might appeal, Mexican Rock trio (3 sisters) The Warning, give 'Evolve' or their cover of the Metallica song 'Enter Sandman' a listen, try the live version from 2022, and from Japan, Lovebites. Almost anything from them is so good, but as a starter, Holy War seems a popular choice with reacters. They have 2 of the best guitar players I have ever heard, anywhere, lots of old metal influence with more than an echo of bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Garry Moore guitar on several of their songs.
@tonym480 Tony 😊 at the risk of sounding a little cheeky 😂 thier are 12 reactions to the Alejandro sisters and I’d say 8 or 9 to Lovebites .. @ Swansong included 😊and other Japanese bands “ band maid “ wagaki band “ unlucky Morpheus 👍 welcome to our little channel bud .. one old rocker to another 😎👍
@@alan-reacts65 Yea, sorry, I didn't look closely enough before putting the comment above, We do seem very much on the same page though 😄 Glad to be on board
@tonym480 welcome 😊👍
Thanks for doing this one. I appreciate. Gonna watch it now and hope you liked it.
Think you will see 😊👍👍👍
Have heard of Wishbone Ash way back when, and never really gave them a proper listen.... .as they weren't very mainstream and they kind of slipped under my radar, definitely
need to do a bit of digging to check them out more...... ,they sound like a band to put yer headphones on and sit back..... great musicians........
Trust me I’m doing the same as you want to , and I strongly suspect you won’t be disappointed 😊👍
You should listen to all their stuff grossly underated a brilliant band
@garydorrington2925 I am 😊👍
Alan I know this isn't a Billy Strings reaction but did you know he played heavy metal and just played a reunion show March 22nd with his friends band "Flesh And Blood Robot" Apparently Billy was in a metal/hardcore band in high school before he switched to playing the music that is father taught him, bluegrass. But when he heard his friends band was getting back together for a reunion show for the first time in 18 years Billy asked he could be the 2nd guitarist. It was sick seeing him up there for almost 40 minutes headbanging and killing it on guitar.
If you search RUclips for "Flesh And Blood Robot with Billy Strings" a bunch of videos will pop but the best one is a RUclips page called "Been There Scene That Records" They filmed the whole set and they're front row right in front of Billy.
