@jeremy acker yes i liked there first album and argus but then i stopped listening to them! But tbh i couldnt put them up there with deep purple, led zepplin, status quo, the stones, hendrix, queen, those groups have to be on another level? Even when you hear there first albums alone thats enough to make you say "fuck me but they sound brilliant and thats just there first album" i was wasnt born when these groups started but i kind of got into them as you do with music through other people. And i just knew the status quo from about 1978 as a kid and probably from there huge album that year "rocking all over the world" plus the song itself i thought was maybe there best at that time and a few years later. But i was suprised to find out that the quo had been going from 1968 as i looked through a pals record collection, and they had made alot of albums in the early 70s, i think they made 3 albums in 1970 alone? Wich must be a record lol a mean three albums in a year is amazing really and its so hard to do just one album! And they were all brilliant albums. My mate said wait to you hear this and he put on a quo album from mid 1970 and it was the best quo album i think i had heard, strait away i noticed there music wasnt the same as most of it was after 1978 tbh, and its only right i believe to be honest about it, becouse your not kidding any one on except yourself. And going from 1979 into the early 80s there singles to me were just to much alike, infact that much alike when they brought out at least six singles from 79 to 1984 i would always get the names of the songs mixed up and so did so many other people! I think it was an album called "ma kellys greasy spoon" from 1970 i heard and thought it was just brilliant, amazing, it was status quo at there best. And we played it about 5 times as the album went in so fast like every brilliant does. Then i heard another two albums they did in 1971 and i thought they were maybe better than the two or three from 1970, i just cand mind the names of those other albums from 70 to 72, 73, in 74 they had huge success with the brilliant "on the level" album, and from then to 1981 all there albums were brilliant. I remember "if you cant stand the heat" that was also great, from 1976 or 77 i think? I thought there music going into the 80s was alot more disco or like pop music and it wasnt bad it was good music becouse music had changend big time by then and disco was taking over really. It became huge. But pop music was always big since the early 1960s but this was different pop and faster and better plus you got to see it in colour lol and that had a huge impact on it as well. But good band wishbone ash, but i cant put them on this level. To cut a long story short as i could have at the start lol i watched live aid again at wembley from 1985 and if you asked about 3 to 500 fans at live aid "have you ever heard of wishbone ash" how many do you think would say yes? I dont think alot tbh. Maybe 100 out of 500
There's a lot of comments about this lot being underrated but every album from their glory days was a big hit album and they were a really big live draw - if you mean they don't get the credit they deserve nowadays - fair enough - but no one can say they were underrated - they were huge!
Argus was the 3rd album I bought as a teenager. 1st - Deep Purple - Machine Head, 2nd - Neil Young - After The Gold Rush, 3rd - Wishbone Ash - Argus. Still have them today. Took care of them and they still sound great on vinyl.
I saw them at the Shubert Theatre in Philly on May 11th, 1973. Grin(Nils Lofgren) opened the show and they blew us away! Then Wishbone Ash played and they changed my life forever. Argus was their set and their sound was perfect! No great technology then, just four musicians who could harmonize and play their instruments to perfection. Time Was and Sometime World changed how I looked at progressive rock. Caravan ended the show with their set from In The Land of Grey and Pink. Martin Turner, Ted Turner, Steve Upton and Andy Powell are Wishbone Ash and that sound will never be duplicated.
This song is an all time rock classic and this is a very sweet and playful version in the original line up with Ted Turner on the Fender. Very enjoyable for all guitar lovers out there!
I discovered this band about 5 years ago. They are a hidden gem of the '70's. Everybody who likes this should seriously listen to the album Argus, it's amazing.
I love both Powell's and Turner's different ways of playing. I love all the wild licks from Andy, but Ted can play very slowly with so much feeling. 2:17 for example, so much music i that guitar bend. Gotta love them both. Wishbone Ash is truly an inspiration for a young guitarist like me.
I discovered Wishbone Ash in the mid seventies and couldn't stop hear their melodic Guitars for many Years. Now i rediscovered them and im still fascinated. Good Music never dies.
From the brilliant 1972 studio album Argus. I bought the album in 1973. The first album I ever bought ... and STILL one of the best 10 albums I've ever heard. Their first 3 albums plus their 5th and 7th albums - all from the 1970s - are terrific !
I was in to county music in 73 . Was just starting to get into that scene. Now I am getting into stuff more often that I am older. Don't know what I was missing
I saw them warm up in the Chicago area for Jonny Winter, in the early 70’s… great show.. the “live dates” double album came out about the same time . They were so good
I saw wishbone ash at the hollywood paladium on the first couple of tours with my chest right up against the stage getting the full blast sutch a wonderfull band !
WOW! That was one of my favorite albums. I always thought of all the live albums I had or heard, this was the BEST of any live album. WOW! AND I STILL HAVE IT.
@@peterandrews1177 I agree about the line up - and the first 3 albums are amazing - the rest fair to middling, but New England is a fantastic album with Wisefield's playing.
Perhaps underrated in the sense that they never got commercial airplay and recognition. Certainly not underrated by their fans like me. It was their determination not to give in to selling out and remaining true to their art that made them great. They would have been less of a band if they had buckled under to the pressure to comply with commercial cookie cutter music. Commercial radio's loss is our gain. These guys have been faves of mine since 1973.
The first three albums were utterly unique masterpieces. Then they decided to chase the American AOR dollar, and were never quite the same thereafter. Just an opinion.
Argus mnie powalił w tamtym czasie jak była premiera albumu - i do teraz mogę słuchac kilka razy w tygodniu - a jak przypomina kiedy byłem młody ten samak tej muzyki czuję i cofam się w czasie jak przymknę oczy i znowu jestem młody - Rengi from Poland!🤠✌️🎸🌹
I grew up on Long Island listening to this band on commercial & college radio, back when radio was real. This band was a hot item (to me) back in them days early to mid 70's. They weren't as known as other bands but they were still known. 'New England' was one of my favorite albums back in them long gone days! This band and this music brings them days back. You just don't get guitar players like this anymore, whereas back then they came a dime a dozen.....ie, Gary Duncan (Quicksilver Messenger Service), Alvin Lee, Nils Lofgren, David Jenkins (Pablo Cruise...(listen to their song El Varano), Kelvin Holley of The Amazing Rhythm Aces (listen to their song Living in a world unknown)..... The list is long! Henry Paul, Toy Caldwell (Marshall Tucker Band), John Gatto (The Good Rats)........There were so many! Roy Buchanan.
I just heard this song few hours ago in my mom's car on her radio. It's bloody fantastic! To think that I just discovered it. Good music was really diverse in the '70s
....the first time I was hypnotized by this song was 1975. Now it's 2020 and when I hear it again, it feel's like in a time machine back to my youth. Merry Christmas and greetings from Germany
One of the most underrated hard rock bands of the history of rock...and essential for the genre. There wouldn't have been an Iron Maiden or a Judas Priest without Wishbone Ash
@PhillipNicewaner Hey Philip, believe me, as far as technique is concerned Wishbone Ash is second to none. All the four of them have amazing skills. Steve Upton and Martin Turner form an exceptional rhythm section, one of the best ever. And regarding the guitar work, well...I think we can all see and appreciate how incredibly good it is. Rock music doesn't get any better than this
Goin down the rabbit hole is what a friend calls it when you keep clicking on more and more old rick videos on you tube. I call it remembering how great all the bands were from my youth.
The first time I saw W.A. was in Colorado Springs, in 1973, when I was 15. This really brings back memories. They had the same stage setup. Andy and Martin even were wearing the same clothes. Ted's lap steel was about 20 feet away. They were fantastic. Saw them again in 2019 in Denver. They were still pretty good.
OMG, how i love it !!! I can listen it again and again. Where are now at least similar awesome, beautifull sounds of twin guitars. I am happy it was my time of music.
Martin Turner......what a bassist. One of the best of all time and there were some damn great bass players. Chris Squire was my favourite, but this guy could give him a run for his money.
I was never moving on past Wishbone Ash and Humble Pie.they were always in the real mix of what rocking was about.kinda like keepers of the flame .or maybe torch bearers .
Saw them way back in the early 70's in Edinburgh a fantastic concert and sa one of the splinter Wishbone Ash in Lochgelly a couple of years ago still fantastic.
I first heard them when I was stationed in Germany after being drafted in 1970. I was over there from 72 to 73. When I heard them I liked them and I bought their albums . I think it was a while before they got anything going in the states. Lots of competition for them back in those days.
I was so lucky to see Wishbone Ash in the 70's a couple of times. Never disappointed. The cliche "they don't make them like they used to" is so apt when applied to the Mighty Ash !!
Great to see two versions of the group are still touring. Martin Turner's my favourite. Still plays this and all the other fantastic songs from the golden era.
Saw Wishbone Ash in Torquay in 1970. They were support for the Keef Hartley Band. Phoenix was the outstanding moment of the night. Saw them at every opportunity after that. Tightest band I've ever heard. Superb.
The first time I heard this song was in 1975 when Ash was doing a live concert in Leiden, the Netherlands which I listened to on the radio. It is still magnificent, on the other had it is too bad no new bands like this one emerge any more so you HAVE to listen to these old songs..
Loved these guys...& like all bands around this time(late 60's & 70's)Led Zeppelin did overshadow many of these great bands.Uriah Heep,Jethro Tull,The Who,Jefferson Airplane,Black Sabbath,Deep Purple ,Humble Pie ,10 Years After...too many to mention.I play Blowin' Free on my 12 string Epiphone.Truly loved (still do) these & all of OUR generation's bands! Baby Boomers Rock !
just bow your head and remember. how lucky we were to of had all that tight ass music back then. it will stand the test of time. i listen and fill it like it was the first time yee haw
I have been playing this band for a long time. My grandma bought me WB Argus and Atomic Rooster in 1972 or 73. Wishbone Ash and The Climex Blues band played in Fargo North Dakota fall 1973 they were both fresh from over the big pond. They both put on a great night. I have wanted a flying V guitar ever since that night!
This is so awesome. I saw 'Wishbone Ash' with all the original members play a sold out concert in Birmingham,England in 1978. I saw 'Wishbone Ash' peform again in a small venue with 'Andy Powell' as the only original remaining member in Dallas,Tx in 2007. I didn't care cause it still was a wonderful performance. I can't believe you have live video footage of them after all these years. TYVM for posting it. It's simply maginificent.
I saw them in Wisconsin, (La Crosse I believe) back in the early 70s. Became a fan immediately. Their sound was so mysterious and intoxicating! I had never heard a band that sounded anymore unique than they did. Medieval like lyrics and harmonies with melodically driven double lead guitars. Truly underrated!
Ozark Gypsy, that's a wonderful tribute right there. That's what captivated me in '72 when I first heard the Pilgrimage album as a 13 year old, then went out and bought Argus which hadn't long been out. I'm very happy that you got the Englishness of the band. My respects to you and our great friends in the US from England, and I hope that all goes well for you.

The first three Wishbone Ash albums are some of the finest rock ever, especially the twin lead guitars!
Wishbone Ash were one of the best groups around in the early 70s, Argus was voted best album of 1972. All of the early albums were great.
And not only the early😉
Un groupe. Parfait Xavier.
yeah, the twin guitar attack was copied by many later bands. Unfortunately they lacked a strong singer
77's Front Page News was fantastic too. Laurie Wisefield was a great replacement for Ted. He got some great praise from Robin Trower
Disagree Martin Turner was a great vocalist!@@pauljohnston8981
Argus is one of the most important albums ever made. Captures the human condition all too well.

WISHBONE ASH ARE AS GOOD AS ANY OF THE BANDS YOU MENTION! In fact they are a different level to any of them!@@alanmctavish4802
Wishbone Ash 4 me one of the best Bands ever --only GREAT music
The Argus album was CLASS, always been a favourite of mine for the last 50 years
Fantastic band one of the best Britain has produced they are brilliant.

Thanks Neil for pointing that out! I saw these guys a couple of times back then and it's still almost as fresh in my memory as when it happened.
mostly on uk probably thats why
Absolutely, I saw them at a packed out gig in Bradford in 1973. Superb concert.
I can recall seeing a billboard for a concert they were playing in Tempe , Arizona, and Kiss was the opening act . That was sometime in mid- 1975 .
You're right, there's nothing underrated about wishbone Ash. I had all their albums and Simon concert
this band is seriously the most underrated band ever. people should talk about these guys like they do with beatles, rolling stones, jimi hendrix etc.
This is a masterpiece. Argus is one of the best rock albums ever.
Yes indeed
Argus was the 3rd album I bought as a teenager. 1st - Deep Purple - Machine Head, 2nd - Neil Young - After The Gold Rush, 3rd - Wishbone Ash - Argus. Still have them today. Took care of them and they still sound great on vinyl.

one of the most talented and most underated BANDS EVER!
WTF is "underrated" susposta mean ? I saw them in 1973 ... they were Head liners for several years.
@@chipsramek3868 I'm saying they did not get the love they should have....Led Zeppelin USED to warm-up for them!
What a wonderful legacy to upload here. Respect!
Must have listened to this album about 5,000 times or more. Never, ever tire of it. One of THE great rock albums. They were bloody good live, too.
This band at it's absolute Zenith. Ted Turner's subdued Strat playing during this era was beautiful !!! A twin guitar attack like no other !!!
This song is an all time rock classic and this is a very sweet and playful version in the original line up with Ted Turner on the Fender. Very enjoyable for all guitar lovers out there!

A true masterpiece of an Album and I feel fortunate that I saw them live in the early 70’s performing it 🎸🎸🎶👌🎤
Terrific live sound. This original lineup was the best. Dug 'em in the 70s, still do today.
Laurie Wisefield filled Ted's shoes pretty darn good though
I'm old but this is good, hard to explain, you probably had to be there.
It’s still good. I would start a tribute band in SW Florida if I could find some sober musicians.
I was there it was great.
とにかくカッコイイ‼️‼️‼️
この時代に戻って生で聴きたかったぁ✨❤️🥰❤️✨
When Argus came out, in the heyday of rock, it blew everyone away.
I love both Powell's and Turner's different ways of playing. I love all the wild licks from Andy, but Ted can play very slowly with so much feeling. 2:17 for example, so much music i that guitar bend. Gotta love them both. Wishbone Ash is truly an inspiration for a young guitarist like me.

Great song writing, singing, drumming and guitar playing.
Wishbone Ash. Thoroughly British and extremely good.
UK, USA and ANZACS Forever.
one of the best two lead guitar bands of there time
Saw these guys about 4 times between '70 and '71
Always great!
Late 60's up to the 70's is beyond contestation the greatest era of beautiful music and great bands..Wishbone Ash for one🤟
From the brilliant 1972 studio album Argus.
I bought the album in 1973. The first album I ever bought ... and STILL one of the best 10 albums I've ever heard.
Their first 3 albums plus their 5th and 7th albums - all from the 1970s - are terrific !
Even #8 is fantastic to me Front Page News. Especially Surface to Air. ruclips.net/video/BGNxkOJz8bA/видео.htmlsi=EZLr1ZLZCGslIOyi
Argus was one of the greatest albums ever.
I saw Wishbone Ash late 80s and they were brill
boa noite nassao roqueira maravilhosa banda é nós
OMG how i love this sound.
The LEGEND never die.
They was, they are and they will the legend.
Phoenix of of live dates has got to be one of the best rock and roll jamb songs of all time
The 69-74 best line up that produced the legendary masterpiece of an album we have all come to know.
No discredit to Laurie I liked Ash better with Ted
I was in to county music in 73 . Was just starting to get into that scene. Now I am getting into stuff more often that I am older. Don't know what I was missing

Wishbone Ash, you were absolutely superb and your tracks were in a world of there own. Incredible, as good today as they were fifty years ago.
My favorite band. Seen them 5 times live (most recently in 2023).
I saw wishbone ash at the hollywood paladium on the first couple of tours with my chest right up against the stage getting the full blast sutch a wonderfull band !
Now this is great Wishbone ash and Uriah Heep 2 of the best
WOW! That was one of my favorite albums. I always thought of all the live albums I had or heard, this was the BEST of any live album. WOW! AND I STILL HAVE IT.
The best lineup,Turner,Upton,Turner,Powell
ABSOLUTELY!
The ONLY line up as far as I'm concerned, first 4 albums all great , then not the same when Ted left
@@peterandrews1177 I agree about the line up - and the first 3 albums are amazing - the rest fair to middling, but New England is a fantastic album with Wisefield's playing.
Amen.
Makes me feel 21 years old again....
Thank you god for the best classic rock band Wishbone Ash. Perfect concert in 2010 in Poland!
One of the most creative yet underrated bands of their era.

I was 17 when this album came out. Still play it, nothing has come close since.
You only need to say the word, Argus!. Cemented as one of the greatest albums ever released. Ever!!
Great track from the band’s masterpiece Argus.Still listen to this epic.Just love the twin lead guitar , great footage as well😊
Great music...epic era for timeless rock to blossom....we will never see it again
One of the few groups I saw that sounded just as good live as recorded. This lineup was best in my opinion although later versions still rocked.

Saw them way back in the early 70's in Edinburgh a fantastic concert and sa one of the splinter Wishbone Ash in Lochgelly a couple of years ago still fantastic.
Otra de mis bandas favoritas de la historia del rock, buenisimos y este uno de sus grandes temazos que nunca me cansare de escucharlo
Classic song, classic musicianship. Enough said.
Haunting music and such great guitar work. One of my favorite bands.
Happy to say that I saw Wishbone Ash perform this song in concert (circa 1973).
I first heard them when I was stationed in Germany after being drafted in 1970. I was over there from 72 to 73. When I heard them I liked them and I bought their albums . I think it was a while before they got anything going in the states. Lots of competition for them back in those days.
saw them in Columbus about 1974, to this day, still one of the best concerts I have ever seen.
The best band almost everyone never heard of .
They were feckin' huge!
Anyone that knows diddly squat about rock knows this band.
This band was criminally underrated in the rock era.I saw them live many times in the early mid 70's a great live band
This Band still is one of the Best guitarbands ever
When I hear this song, my soul shakes✨🎵✨
The King Will Come🎵✨

I'm 22 and have been a Grand Funk fan since I was 9 or so. My dad grew up with the best music for a reason.
Wow just founf this live stuff this slbum 70$ i played it endlessly the riffs are insane
I was so lucky to see Wishbone Ash in the 70's a couple of times. Never disappointed. The cliche "they don't make them like they used to" is so apt when applied to the Mighty Ash !!
This band are playing my home town in March. I'd forgotten how good they are, I think I might go see them.
The best live Rockband all time..🎸🎸
Great to see two versions of the group are still touring. Martin Turner's my favourite. Still plays this and all the other fantastic songs from the golden era.
Saw Wishbone Ash in Torquay in 1970. They were support for the Keef Hartley Band.
Phoenix was the outstanding moment of the night. Saw them at every opportunity after that. Tightest band I've ever heard. Superb.
Live Dates was always one of my favorite albums.
I came to Japan all the way from Canaduh free with a sofa - believe it, or not. Life can be strange and wonderful. Thanks Frank! R.I.P.
The first time I heard this song was in 1975 when Ash was doing a live concert in Leiden, the Netherlands which I listened to on the radio. It is still magnificent, on the other had it is too bad no new bands like this one emerge any more so you HAVE to listen to these old songs..
Maravilha de música, maravilha de banda, puro ouro 👏
The good old times. I love it so much ! ! !
I saw them in Auckland, New Zealand in 1973. I was right in front of Ted - just blew me away!! Man those were the days..
Wish I WAS THerE with JEFF Fenton
Wishbone Ash 1974 Free Trade Hall my second gig at 15, Argus will always remain a complete work and masterpiece bettered by ?
A child of 92. A big fan of Wishbone Ash
Loved these guys...& like all bands around this time(late 60's & 70's)Led Zeppelin did overshadow many of these great bands.Uriah Heep,Jethro Tull,The Who,Jefferson Airplane,Black Sabbath,Deep Purple ,Humble Pie ,10 Years After...too many to mention.I play Blowin' Free on my 12 string Epiphone.Truly loved (still do) these & all of OUR generation's bands! Baby Boomers Rock !
I don't agree. Zeppelin turned a lot of people OFF me included because they were quite Satanic and occult obsessed.
just bow your head and remember. how lucky we were to of had all that tight ass music back then. it will stand the test of time. i listen and fill it like it was the first time yee haw
I have been playing this band for a long time. My grandma bought me WB Argus and Atomic Rooster in 1972 or 73. Wishbone Ash and The Climex Blues band played in Fargo North Dakota fall 1973 they were both fresh from over the big pond. They both put on a great night. I have wanted a flying V guitar ever since that night!
This is so awesome. I saw 'Wishbone Ash' with all the original members play a sold out concert in Birmingham,England in 1978.
I saw 'Wishbone Ash' peform again in a small venue with 'Andy Powell' as the only original remaining member in Dallas,Tx in 2007.
I didn't care cause it still was a wonderful performance.
I can't believe you have live video footage of them after all these years.
TYVM for posting it. It's simply maginificent.
I was at the Birmingham concert as well, going to see them tomorrow night , looking forward to it 🎸🎸
Mindblowing. Would have loved to see them back then.
One of the best bands of the the great 70's!
I saw them in Wisconsin, (La Crosse I believe) back in the early 70s. Became a fan immediately. Their sound was so mysterious and intoxicating! I had never heard a band that sounded anymore unique than they did. Medieval like lyrics and harmonies with melodically driven double lead guitars. Truly underrated!
Ozark Gypsy, that's a wonderful tribute right there. That's what captivated me in '72 when I first heard the Pilgrimage album as a 13 year old, then went out and bought Argus which hadn't long been out. I'm very happy that you got the Englishness of the band. My respects to you and our great friends in the US from England, and I hope that all goes well for you.
@@tonyanderton3521 Thanks for your kind respects Tony. I hope all goes well for you and yours too, especially during such difficult times.
