A great band. But for all the brilliance of the band without Martin Turners terrific bass it probably would not have worked. First heard this about 78 and no I did not see the change coming at the halfway mark! Seen Martin a few times in recent years and he still has all those skills!
WISHBONE ASH.....a great, greeeeat, greatttttttt underestimated prog-rock band !!.....ARGUS - 1972 - and LIVE DATES - 1973 -.....two true masterpieces !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..... big hugs to the two of you Grey Beard and Harri for this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To be honest I bought this the year it came out. If my memory doesn't betray me it was voted album of the year in Sounds... a UK music paper. Like all classic tracks this one became my favourite from the album. People now, won't understand that. When you bought an album you listened to every song, even if it didn't hit the spot right away. Saw Ash over 6 times in the 70's and 80's. Still my favourite band and the were in august company in their time.
Wishbone Ash weren't on my radar at all until me and my girlfriend went to see them at Portsmouth Guildhall in 1972 or 73 purely on a whim. They were outstanding and Argus still gets a regular listen.
@@kevinmulrooney3353 One other standout I saw there was Leo Sayer (my girlfriend was a fan) with Mud as support, probably '74. Mud were outstanding, one of the funnest performances I've ever seen.
That is a great album and this is a wicked good song but the other side is pure gold and their finest hour: The King Will Come, Leaf and Stream, Warrior and Throw Down the Sword is one of the best sides of music by anyone and just flows perfectly together, I highly recommend it to anyone who loves 70s rock and great twin guitar leads in amazing, melodic but bangers that will surprise anyone who takes a chance. Back when this came out we were constantly playing the side above, Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
You have a diverse and great taste for music, Greybeard, and this one by Wishbone Ash is no different. Great selection and reaction, too. Thanks fellas!
This song brought tears to my 67 year old self, remembering the first time I heard this album and song over at a friends neighbors house when I was a 16 year old kid. Memories I can never forget when they are connected to life changing moments when I heard this album.
i so much enjoyed watching your reaction to this. Wishbone Ash is my 2nd favorite rock band of all time, & this album is possibly their best album. every track on it is fantastic. i got this when it was new, & it has yet to get old. thx for appreciating it. you make an old man feel good
I was in England in the 70's. Took a trip into London to a record store. I bought Wishbone Ash Argus and Pilgrimage. Wishbone Ash is one of the best bands of their time and still to this day. Sometime World is phenomenal and feeds my soul. It's hard to describe how it completely takes me over.
Amazing you picked my very favorite WA song! This song has blown my mind for 50 years! ever since I first heard it when I was 16 years old. Love Wishbone Ash!!
The album Argus won the readers' poll in both Sounds and Melody Maker's albums of the year for 1972 - beating other worthy contenders such as David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust, Deep Purple - Machine Head, Yes - Close to the Edge and Neil Young's Harvest. The rest of the album and the Live Dates album from 1973 are well worth investigating...
Wow, this tune is a rollercoaster thru heaven! That bass player/bass line is genius. What a prelude/intro to start the ride. Don't know what else to stay.
If you open the album all the way, you'll see a flying saucer rising up out of the valley. Argus, loosely translated means sentry. I remember 4 of us, high, playing air guitar (I had a solo one my broom) in our dorm room, on a wintery night in Pullman, WA! Back in the day, there was AM radio, which dominated back then. This was clearly too long for. This song was the Food of FM stations. Who back then were hidden stations with secret songs. The vinyl record was in the stores, and nobody knew what to expect from it There was no clue on the cover. It wasn't till 1974 until I found someone who had a copy of it. Possibly the FM station I worked at in college. Became a staple that very moment. The English blues rock scene morphed into some of the most enjoyable music. These guys, the Original Fleetwood Mac, Jeff Beck, John Mayall and the Blues Breakers, Eric Clapton and Cream and even Jethro Tull, were all folk who bathed in American Blues and came out with something different and fun. I was great on the broomstick! By the way... .
Great to read David. This album has been part of my life since an older brother of a mate handed it to me and said “listen to this”. It’s a magnificent piece of work.
Fabulous reaction to a fabulously talented band. I was fortunate to see them play live several times in the 70s & they were always excellent . Pioneers of the twin guitar sound that would later be imitated by so many. Their guitars always had a beautiful clean crisp tone . So many great songs you could choose by them but I would recommend Errors of my Ways . Lady Jay based on an old English folk tale & the stunning Phoenix .Keep up the great work.
Wow, incredible music! Ive always loved this song and to watch your perceptive and enthusiastic reaction was wonderful. Ironic how the song references feeling underrated..i feel this band always where
One of the best Rock albums I know. I was 16 when I first saw them live heading the Open Air Festival in Offenburg, Germany with War, Alvin Lee, Three Dog Night and...Bob Marley and the Wailers (first gig in Europe).
Please do yourself a favour and try some of the other tracks on the album. In particular I want to give a shoutout to "Throw down the Sword". The twin guitar solo in that is in my personal opinion one of the most beautiful things ever recorded.
Thanks for that. I've been a fan of theirs since seeing them on 'The Old Grey Whistle Test' on BBC 2 as they promoted their first album from 1970! Whisperin' Bob Harris introduced them and that was me gone.... I've seen them at least 40 or 50 times, which given the time they've been going isn't that much really! Last time was earlier this year. You picked a great song to review as it is often overlooked on the Argus album, there being so many other great tracks on there. But Sometime World features one of Andy Powell's best solo's I feel. He can still pull them out when he wants to but for the last 20 years or so he has settled for more quality of notes than quantity. The music of the 'Ash' has been the soundtrack of my life and I never get tired of hearing it. Argus IS a 'timeless masterpiece'
Hi guys, don't you feel like we're listening to some ride of guitars chasing each other such as in "Free Bird" - Lynyrd Skynyrd 1973 or "Green Grass and High Tides" - The Outlaws 1975.....prog-rock vs. southern rock !!!!!.....Those were really incredible years for rock music, guys !!!
Wishbone Ash is becoming the most often band played in these analysis videos it seems to me, deservedly so IMO. The most underrated and appreciated bands of any era.
Glad you found this. In my humble opinion the most complete album ever made , no fillers, no bad tracks, every track on it is as you called it " A Timeless Masterpiece" ............now you need to listen to the rest of it. I bought this when it was 1st released, and still have it on regularly
Love your reaction Harri.............a stellar band- their 70s line-up was comprised of 4 consummate musicians. All in their early 20s when Argus came out. Two versions of WA are still playing today!
This was a must have album, along with “Live Dates.” Absolutely brilliant musicians for that or any time. I know Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) was influenced, as I hear them in his compositions. Still have first pressed vinyl, and will always be a fan. Their live shows were dynamic performances. Regards
I had their first Wishbone Ash LP from 1970, it was really a different sound at the time, and for some reason always enjoyed just having the album cover sitting out where I could see it.
Went to see them in Exeter Phoenix 29/9/23 just as brilliant as ever. Imagine hearing this live, give your ears a treat and listen to the whole of Argus album. This isn't even the best track lol.
They had and have no equals! This band and record is why I became a musician!! Thanks! Listen to the whole record with head phones! You will be easily converted! Peace!
They were a class act Martin Turner’s bass playing was exceptional. Like Chris Squire of Yes they play the bass as a lead instrument. I have seen them many times they are always brilliant.
' Before their time' is a cop out, all music was of it's time and we were there, every week another great album, great days that you weren't a part of because through no fault of your own you came late to the party. Now get into some Be-Bop Deluxe, start with Adventures In A Yorkshire Landscape, then Soundtrack, and Crying To The Sky, a track from their first three albums, magnificent band, second to none.
You probably won't see this comment but there is a band called Aphrodite's Child creating album called 666😢 which is the Book of Revelations put to music it has some awesome music on it one of the main composers was Vangelis papathanasiou Academy award-winning a score for Chariots of Fire I think. The song I would recommend is the Four Horsemen
I bought "Argus" on the recommendation of a musician friend who I worked with. I was hooked! I saw them live every chance I got and bought everything I ever saw by them. There were other bands who used harmony lead guitars, but Wishbone Ash was one of the best, right up there with Derek and the Dominoes.
Man, if you like that check out their first album. Still gigging now (with Andy Powell, one of the original guitarists) and still really well worth seeing.
Your question about "Did we see that change coming?" is easy to answer, Try Time Was, King will Come, Phoenix, Pilgrim, Way of the World et al. The Ash are the masters of it. Great review
Argus was voted Sounds Magazine’s album of the year in 1972. No mean feat considering it was up against Yes’ Close to the Edge, Deep Purple’s Machine Head, Genesis’ Foxtrot and Pink Floyd’s Obscured by Clouds. Argus is a PHENOMONAL album from the first note to the last. I’m glad you liked it.
I want to put in a plug for their first album entitled Wishbone Ash, which I thought was as good as their Argus album. While nearly all the songs are great, the two long ones on the 2nd side of the album, *"Handy" & "Phoenix"* are super special. I've enjoyed listening to them zillions of times because they were both so great. Check them out!
Not eve the best track on the album try The King will come or Warrior or Throw down The Sword all great songs I would recommend. Thanks for this,you are probably the best reaction channel on here.
It's funny because if at the time I could've predicted which songs from Argus that would be most featured on these kind of videos it would have been Blowin' Free and Warrior. Sometime World deserves it though - seen a few other great reactions.
Back in 1973, when I was 16, this was the very first album I ever bought. 51 years later this album is still in my top 10 album list. Martin Turner's bass guitar solo is legendary as are the lead guitars 9f Andy Powell & Ted Turner (no relation). Lynyrd Skynryd's Freebird (released later) has a very similar construction, and great though Freebird is, for me Sometime World is superior. There ... yes ... I've said it !
They were most definitely OF their time, not ahead of it lol. And the bass line is what its all about. (Also the final solo is top 10 rock solos of all time)
That is a great album and this is a wicked good song but the other side is pure gold and their finest hour: The King Will Come, Leaf and Stream, Warrior and Throw Down the Sword is one of the best sides of music by anyone and just flows perfectly together, I highly recommend it to anyone who loves 70s rock and great twin guitar leads in amazing, melodic but bangers that will surprise anyone who takes a chance.

Old time favorite ... crazy bass lines
Still in my top 5 albums after 50 years - got it when I was 17!! Martin Turner without doubt one of the most underrated bass guitarists of all time!!!
Totally agree on MT..............saw him in May and plan to see him in a couple of weeks. He's 75 and still awesome on stage.
Can't praise and celebrate Martin Turner highly enough, in my book. I think Steve Upton is among the best drummers too!
A great band. But for all the brilliance of the band without Martin Turners terrific bass it probably would not have worked.
First heard this about 78 and no I did not see the change coming at the halfway mark!
Seen Martin a few times in recent years and he still has all those skills!
@@ShiddyFinkelstein On this great song, Martin Turner's bass is like a third lead guitar. He just ROCKS!
@@ShiddyFinkelsteintotally agree. His drumming on 'the Pilgrim' or 'Vas Dis' is up there with the best.
WISHBONE ASH.....a great, greeeeat, greatttttttt underestimated prog-rock band !!.....ARGUS - 1972 - and LIVE DATES - 1973 -.....two true masterpieces !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..... big hugs to the two of you Grey Beard and Harri for this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m 57 years old and only discovered this album 2 years ago. Totally missed it. This album is seriously in my top 10 ever. Epically great!
I'm in my late 60's and grew up on this stuff..................the great thing is that "you found it "..........enjoy. Peace and love
The entire album is timeless and excellent.Great Band.

@@peacemaker6662 Hi Peace. It was Melody Maker who voted it best album. Sounds had cloth ears!
Their first two albums are great too, as well as 'There's the Rub'.
Wishbone Ash weren't on my radar at all until me and my girlfriend went to see them at Portsmouth Guildhall in 1972 or 73 purely on a whim. They were outstanding and Argus still gets a regular listen.
Pompey guildhall was, absolutely the best for live music then. So many great bands..
@@kevinmulrooney3353 One other standout I saw there was Leo Sayer (my girlfriend was a fan) with Mud as support, probably '74. Mud were outstanding, one of the funnest performances I've ever seen.
I heard it in 72 and I bought the vinyl record in 72
One of my favorites
Treat yourself and listen to the whole of "Argus", an album of twin guitar mix of prog, and rock, one of the greatest rock albums.
72 was a very good year for music.
That bass guitar goes on its own rollicking journey when the tempo picks up. Incredible song.
That is a great album and this is a wicked good song but the other side is pure gold and their finest hour: The King Will Come, Leaf and Stream, Warrior and Throw Down the Sword is one of the best sides of music by anyone and just flows perfectly together, I highly recommend it to anyone who loves 70s rock and great twin guitar leads in amazing, melodic but bangers that will surprise anyone who takes a chance. Back when this came out we were constantly playing the side above, Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
I totally agree this is a brilliant album. I still return to it today.
Listen to the whole album…no filler…all great!
Saw them live in a big theater in Buffalo NY in the early 70's, great band with excellent musicianship.
It's great, possibly my favourite of theirs. I got this record in 1976.
You have a diverse and great taste for music, Greybeard, and this one by Wishbone Ash is no different. Great selection and reaction, too. Thanks fellas!
👍🙏💥❤
Nice one,GB..now-- get Harri into Neal Morse and his assorted projects. He'll be blown away! :-) Cheers, T
Beautiful song Greybeard. ❤
🥰😇🤩
One of the first bands to use 2 lead guitars
Twin leads of Andy Powell and Ted Turner fuel this album.
Ooos Typo
I saw Wishbone Ash circa '72-'73 in a little 300 seat venue in Houston TX. What a show!!
The excellence of this song brings tears to my eyes!
This song brought tears to my 67 year old self, remembering the first time I heard this album and song over at a friends neighbors house when I was a 16 year old kid. Memories I can never forget when they are connected to life changing moments when I heard this album.

Wow! I forgot about these guys. Probably 50 years ago I last.

God how I love bass, by far my favourite instrument
Wow, this tune is a rollercoaster thru heaven! That bass player/bass line is genius. What a prelude/intro to start the ride. Don't know what else to stay.
Huge Wishbone Ash fan. Original lineup. Love the bass on this one! Saw them twice later, but always sound excellent!
Wishbone Ash is one of my favorite bands. They were known for duel lead guitar work which inspired other bands like Iron Maiden & Judas Priest.
Of course to be honest wishbone ash was inspired by Beck and page when they did dual guitars for a while in 66.
Iron Maiden and Judy's Priest between them never wrote anything as beautiful as Sometime World. Breaking The Law? Do me a favour!
Great band great song.
Spectacular reaction, Harri !!!
Now that's a tune I haven't heard in a long while! Fantastic!
Haven’t even heard of this band in decades. Thank you!
Now you're cookn with gas! Great reaction. Thanks Harri!
The change always blew me away 😊

sorry mate but u cant have twin solos. solo is one but gr8 music bin listening 2 them since 69
Argus is one of the greatest albums in rock - period!
Anyone not moving when this song is playing is made of stone.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about! Glad you came across it
Argus is one of the most perfect albums ever recorded. A timeless masterpiece which is as fresh today as when it came out in 1972.
This was a must have album, along with “Live Dates.” Absolutely brilliant musicians for that or any time. I know Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) was influenced, as I hear them in his compositions. Still have first pressed vinyl, and will always be a fan. Their live shows were dynamic performances. Regards
This album. Top the UK chart in 72 the most underated band of all time
I am so jealous watching your reaction to hearing this the first time! 51 yrs since my first listen!
Top ten cover Art.👍
I had their first Wishbone Ash LP from 1970, it was really a different sound at the time, and for some reason always enjoyed just having the album cover sitting out where I could see it.
This album should be considered one of Prog Rocks best. Fantastic.
I believe it is!
Went to see them in Exeter Phoenix 29/9/23 just as brilliant as ever. Imagine hearing this live, give your ears a treat and listen to the whole of Argus album. This isn't even the best track lol.
I believe Ronnie Van Zant may have heard this in 1972-73. "Hmmm. I got this song in my head called Freebird. OK??? Maybe we'll take it here."
Wishbone Ash!!!!. Now the is a Great reaction. 420!. Try Country Joe and the Fish. 🌄🪴🌴
They had and have no equals! This band and record is why I became a musician!! Thanks! Listen to the whole record with head phones! You will be easily converted! Peace!
They were a class act Martin Turner’s bass playing was exceptional. Like Chris Squire of Yes they play the bass as a lead instrument. I have seen them many times they are always brilliant.
"ARGUS" I've owned this album in vinyl,cass/tape and cd,and they all sound BANG-ON . funny that1.
' Before their time' is a cop out, all music was of it's time and we were there, every week another great album, great days that you weren't a part of because through no fault of your own you came late to the party.

Oh my god, the guitar solo that keeps on giving, and when you think it's done, gives a little bit more. Love it!

Whishbone ash Argus is one of my favorite album from the 70
Argus is a great album, the guitar & vocal harmonies are groundbreaking for 1972! You can hear the blues influence from these fantastic musicians!
This whole album is worth a listen on the channel or your own time
Wonderful! Wonderful! I think I was just turned 14 when I bought this LP just a few months after the album's release in '72.
This album is maybe one of the reasons I started playing bass. I love this band since almost 50 years now…
Man, if you like that check out their first album. Still gigging now (with Andy Powell, one of the original guitarists) and still really well worth seeing.
I got this when I was 18 still have it today beautiful
Your question about "Did we see that change coming?" is easy to answer, Try Time Was, King will Come, Phoenix, Pilgrim, Way of the World et al. The Ash are the masters of it. Great review

this music sets you up for a fantastic day. enjoy !
I remember the change one of the best changes. My favourite by small margins was Phoenix, try that one next if you havn't :)

The king will come was a constant on our party big reel tapes ...
Along with another one I hardly hear anymore, Tobacco Road/The Animals
❤
The album Argus was a huge hit at the time. You should play it!
Try Time Was from Argus. Smoking twin guitar boogie!
It's funny because if at the time I could've predicted which songs from Argus that would be most featured on these kind of videos it would have been Blowin' Free and Warrior. Sometime World deserves it though - seen a few other great reactions.
Try to listen to song Persephony by Wishbone Ash. It`s their best.
Back in 1973, when I was 16, this was the very first album I ever bought. 51 years later this album is still in my top 10 album list.
Martin Turner's bass guitar solo is legendary as are the lead guitars 9f Andy Powell & Ted Turner (no relation).
Lynyrd Skynryd's Freebird (released later) has a very similar construction, and great though Freebird is, for me Sometime World is superior.
There ... yes ... I've said it !
Theyr still ahead of the times, as we know how music is today, sadly
Martin Turner and Time Was Wishbone Ash
They were most definitely OF their time, not ahead of it lol.
And the bass line is what its all about. (Also the final solo is top 10 rock solos of all time)
Sounds a bit like Smokey Robinson to me
there are much better songs of Wishbone Ash than this one, IMHO
That is a great album and this is a wicked good song but the other side is pure gold and their finest hour: The King Will Come, Leaf and Stream, Warrior and Throw Down the Sword is one of the best sides of music by anyone and just flows perfectly together, I highly recommend it to anyone who loves 70s rock and great twin guitar leads in amazing, melodic but bangers that will surprise anyone who takes a chance. Back when this came out we were constantly playing the side above, Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
Agree.
Yes great album. Throw Down The Sword is my favourite track on Argus and is just the most fantastic way to close out an album.
