In 1972 they released a masterpiece called Argus

@hendrikdebruin4012 3 года назад

I bought it immediately - I was 15 years old

@geejaybee 3 года назад

Still listen to WA regularly after 40+ years. Andy Powell has been one of the most underrated guitarists playing in one of the most underrated bands in Rock.

@classiccars1994 Год назад

One of the best British bands from the 1970's . All top notch musicians and Steve Upton a brilliant drummer.

@roberthorn333 5 лет назад

Andy Powell is still with the band. Man, they play with a nice big sound. "Argus" was a great album, back in the early days of the band. Great pic!

These Pommies seriously Rock On. Maybe the very best UK 1970's under appreciated Band in Rock History. Long Live Wishbone Ash !

I saw Wishbone Ash at Buxton rock festival over 50 years ago in the days of there Pilgrimage album, we sat out on the moors till the early hours of a cold day listening to every note played, what an experience...

@jackoshaw 2 года назад

Saw these guys back in 1975, Hammond Civic Center, Hammond, Indiana.... Great show, for sure....One thing about all the shows I have seen through the years, THEY WERE LOUD! The only other that excelled Loudness was Nugent... ... Wishbone Ash was and is still a very credible band...

@robpowers5427 Год назад

I always loved the way they fashioned their leads. Not just blind jamming (which I also like), but leads with a "story."

@33neptun Год назад

Band of my teenage years, who pointed me right to where i am today. My musical idols and my music "school". One of the greatest ever. Argus is definitely one of the top 5 masterpieces of all times.

Wow, Wishbone Ash I have not heard them since I was a young girl. I loved them. My parents played great music in our home everything but country yuk. I love the grunts and ooh. Real men, real style, real music, sexy singing, great raw guitar playing. They emote great emotions.

@lawrenceterwilliger6787 5 лет назад

Martin Turner is a great bass player! He influenced me to play bass in bands! Loved his melodic and jazz runs. Wishbone Ash was one of the best boogie bonds in the early seventies! They had the perfect musical chemistry!

@stevenwelk1901 4 года назад

Andy Powell Steve Upton Ted Turner Martin Turner. They played well together I like the way that Upton cued the rest of the band and kept them in time. I seen them live at the swing Auditorium at the Long Beach Amphitheater and one other place I can't remember now I once felt sorry for Bachman-Turner Overdrive because Wishbone Ash open for them and played one hell of a set. But I think I started listening to them in 71. On The Velvet Underground.

Nice to see you analyze Wishbone Ash, the first Liveconcert I ever went to in 1974 in Amsterdam,at the age of 16. Next day went to the recordstore and bought Argus, listed in the UK as album of the year in 1972, a legendary rock album.They were one of the first rockbands with twinlead guitar lines and Andy was the star with that flying v gibson. Saw them again in the later eighties at the Paradiso in Amsterdam in the original lineup and they where still rocking the stage.

@relax-max Год назад

The most underrated rock band ever! (With Jeff Healey Band) For me, Argus is one of the best albums ever made.

@carllange3950 5 лет назад

I first saw Wishbone Ash in 1972 opening for Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Second row seats. I had not heard of Wishbone Ash before that night. An incredible concert. The next morning I went out and bought all three of their albums. For me, the original lineup with Ted Turner had the most memorable songs with the Argus album being the high point. I have a younger friend that was more familiar with the Laurie Wisefield lineup. I think there tends to be periods in your life when the current music has a more lasting impact on your musical preferences.

@elmolewis9123 5 лет назад

I saw WA in 1974 at university, playing to a crowd of less than 50! Hard to believe considering Argus was named album of the year in 1972, by the UK Sounds mag and that Yes and Zappa having had played there the same year to packed crowds. Yet they still put on a great show with everybody there having front row seats (actually standing - no seats). Terribly under-rated band (in Canada anyway). Argus still holds up today. Nice review.

@pylgrym 4 года назад

Their prophetic lyricism was conscience -piercing and thus off-putting to the run-of-the-mill fans of common Rock and Roll. I calls WA a Prog Blues band.

Saw Wishbone Ash back in 1971 at the Edwardsville Illinois River Festival, they opened for The Who. They had Orange amp stacks. Andy Powell had his Gibson Flying V, Ted Turner his Strat, Martin Turner had a Rick bass. It was a Great show! And of course the Who was good too! This was before Wishbone Ash- Argus and "Who's Next" came out.

Every guitar player of my generation learned the main lick from Jailbait. They sounded like Johnny Winter meets Hank Marvin - great sound.

It would be cool to see something of this somewhat unsung performer.

@kennybrown1315 3 года назад

Martin Turner often gets left out of the conversation as to how good Wishbone Ash were. The dual guitars were their usp at the time but Turner played some wonderfully complementary melodic bass to accompany and underpin their sound. Vocally he was the best of the three on that stage. They’ve never replaced his vocals and although Bob Skeat is an excellent bass player he doesnt play in the same style as Turner. Still good live though as is Martin Turner too

@geraldjohnson7937 2 года назад

I saw Wishbone Ash live for the first time in Germany 1976 (Offenburg Sunrise Festival) and they absolutely blew me away. The twin guitars were on fire on the fast tracks, played perfect harmony on their slow songs...they blended and sounded just fantastic. Steve Upton was an absolute beast on drums. However, it was Martin Turner, out front who (imo) personified Wishbone Ash. His stage presence, vocals, and how he simultaneously played those fantastic melodic riffs on bass (and made it look effortless) was incredible. Have to admit with no disrespect to Andy, Laurie or Steve, but imo WA was Martin's band. Last but not least, after that concert, i made a point to see them whenever they came to town (was living in Frankfurt am Main back then). In short, Martin Turner gave me a new perspective about bass guitar. Like the guitar, it can be an "upfront" instrument that profoundly impacts the dynamic of a band. Especially in the hands of a musician like Martin Turner...fantastic front man!
