Martin Turner ex Wishbone Ash perform Argus live, 100 Club, London, 15 April 2022 

OMG Ive loved WA music for 50 years. Oh how I wish I'd been in the club for this show. It's so great to hear Argus played so near to perfection. Keep rocking Martin and the band, we need your greatness. Thank you.❤

Outstanding work by all the members. Martin still sounds great and the lead guitar work sounds so close to the original that its really amazing!! The harmonies are also spot on. For me it checks all the boxes ~ excellent job.

So, my name really is Andy Powell. I heard Pilgrimage when I was 12, then the iconic Argus. I still have the first four albums in vinyl. Since then, I've listened to the two halves of WA and for sheer accuracy and enjoyment, you guys win hands down. Terrific. Wish I'd been there.

Mmmmm. Read the comments here. Seen both bands. Both good. These guys are note perfect. They live the music, they don't just play the music. The fact Martin is the main writer of the songs, the original vocalist and a very distinctive bass player is a big factor in the live experience.

Bloody hell Martin has still got it - what a class act. Makes it all look effortless.

Martin and his band sounds really amazing!!! 🔥

From a guy in a Cornfield in the US.....I've been a fan since Jr High School. I still enjoy WA tunes and Martin as much as when I was a kid. Band does a nice job on the music. It's pretty amazing these songs have held up so well over the decades. I do credit the whole band, every member was very important. I do however personally prefer Martins vocals. I listen to WA when I mow my several acres every week. Makes the time fly and puts a smile on my face, Thanks for the music.

Martin Turner is the world's greatest living bass player.

I ve seen both ex Wishbone Ash bands Andy and Martin and I love both😁 I was such a big fan in 1970 when they brought the excellent first album out.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🎸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

All Hail from Tehran IRAN IRAN LOVES ASH

Oh my goodness ... I've not heard these classic Argus songs sound so good for ages. This band reproduces the classic sound so much better than Andy Powell's current incarnation. Bloody well done, Mart and the boys !

Gibt es denn keinen deutschen Kommentator der diese wunderschöne Musik mal huldigt oder überhaupt noch kennt ?!? Solche Musik ist einzigartig ! Danke fürs hochladen !

Love this! I used to listen to this and other Wishbone albums when I was in my teens. Miss this music.

Lets see here... Martin hired Andy.. Teddy and Martin taught andy about how to play more than a shuffle and 12 bar blues and how to evolve the playing within a song and how to arrange parts and vocals..

Good Old Leicester Lad Danny playing some great Geetar work. Fantastic. :-)

The first W.B.A. album I ever heard ‘Argus’s. My elder brother had a huge collection of albums, vinyl as it was in those days. I used to play his stuff when he was out, put Argus on, and I was hooked. I borrowed that album so much, my brother let me keep it. I do agree with many of the comments, over the years I have seen both bands live. Yes, the contractual problems are what they are, but these things happen. Andy Powell (credit where it is due) is an extremely talented guitarist, and I would agree with a comment I saw elsewhere, he does appear to have a limited personality. Martin Turners ex Wishbone Ash does it for me, met these guys on several occasions and they have great personalities. The gigs they perform these days are a far cry from there early years, now they are much smaller and intimate gigs, but I personally prefer it. Looking forward to their next gig, which is local to us. As Martin says, all the time people want to come and hear us play, we shall continue to come out and play. Long will they continue to play.

I have had the pleasure of hearing/seeing Danny Wilson play many times over the years (Pokey Hole and elsewhere in the MIdlands) and what a great guitar player and all around good bloke he is. Thanks for posting this. Great sound from Martin and the rest of the band.

Guitarist nearest to the camera stole the show,Bravo sir!

Saw Martin in the mid 2000s when he played support for Golden Earring at the Shepherds Bush Empire, great gig, tight band... 👍👏😻

Talk about a ‘70 sound, I just need the Moonshine and my wrecked bicycle. Excellent

Loved the WISHBONE ASH SOUND!! GREAT JOB!!!

That Japanese girl calling out Martin's name at the back of the Portland Paramount was my wife, may she rest in peace.

Superb.

I was just listening to Argus the other day for the first time in ages and thinking how good it is. This was lovely. Cheers.

Very, very, very good! Thank you Kumiai Cho! Great to hear these songs again played and sung so very well.

素晴らしいベースシスト♪︎大好きです♪︎

It's astounding guitar playing.

Sublime. Incomparable. I'm a big Runrig fan, the best of Scottish folk-rock. This is the best of English fol-rock, IMHO.

so much thanx for uploading kumiai cho ! cho !!

Brilliant !!!!!!!!! Great tones. Very authentic.

Absolutely amazing😯 and a perfect guitar master class👍

Thanks for posting this. Great memories of my trip to the UK. Had a great time at the gig.

Loved it it's fabulous track memories 😌

Awesome guys....go Danny :)

Thanks for that … fab !

Seen Martin around thirty times since Wishbone Ash Played Reading Festival in 1975, never failed to put on a great show.

stupendous!

Argus is my fav WA album but my fav song is Persephone

Saw Wishbone Ash Play Mansion House Bar Waterford Great gig Joss O Brien Waterford Ireland

Incroyable !!!!!!!!

Great!

deff best WH out there

Love it even if Martin voice is not as clear as it was. Great

Great, hope they world tour soon

Awesome playing

Great!! I am happy, I will see them in one week on their German tour. I will give you more information.

BTW my fav track off Argus is Warrior. Just thought I'd mention it

Both bands are great. Just the singing that lets them down. But given their age it's not surprising. Brilliant musicians though.❤

I've seen one of the Wishbone Ash groups but I couldn't tell you which one. The guitar work here is as good as if not better than the original. As they say,"there's people out there playing Hendrix better than Hendrix could wish to play. This album influenced loads of bands in the 70s,great stuff for it's time.

Forget Powell’Far superior Ash 🎼🇬🇧

❤

😊❤❤❤❤

Saw AP's Wishbone Ash 3 weeks ago on the live dates tour. It was awsom. Couldn't use the same words for this performance by MT's band.

they sound great...,need me on drums though

Ya mon

Martin Turner's WA is good. I only know Andy Powell's WA. I am surprised of the sound.

The chick at the ramp - is that a groupie? Man Martin?!

Makes Mr Powell's WA look like a wet lettuce. This is so much more authentic.

Des deux Ash qu,il existe je pense que celui de Martin est le mieux

I think Martins Band is far superior to Mr Powells bunch . Andy is a good guitar player but He is no singer . Saw Martins band at Poole in Dorset. Excellent show .

unfortunately they won't be coming to Germany this Year

Needs a little work on the vocal harmonies...but hey ARGUS IS ARGUS..BRILLIANT stuff

懐かしいと感じがするが 時を経て 斬新なアレンジ とも いえるのでは ないか?

46:50 Chat, chat, chatter. Shut up and listen, you clods.

Interesting comments here for and against Powell and Turner's versions of W. Ash. I've seen Powell's W.A. twice over the years, admittedly about 15 years ago when I thought he had it spot on. Why do some people think he's not so good now, especially as he knows all the guitar work/tones inside out and was, I thought then, a decent higher harmony singer?

LMAO !!!

Not a patch on the real WA that’s Andy Powell and crew

They sound great but anyone who compares this to the original band is overlooking the fact it’s basically only one original member, so a cover band. My favorite band of all time is Pink Floyd but it’s sad in that most bands from then are fractured into different pieces. In fact Nazareth was still playing without one original member, seriously how can they be called Nazareth.

Martin ex wishbone Ash band are not a patch on Andys real Wishbone Ash

Beautiful guitarwork, but the singing is unfortunately not so good

ouch ...

Vocals are flat. Do you really think you are going to play the guitar licks better than the original guitarist? I’ve seen APs versions with 3 different lead players. The best best version was with Ben Granfelt.

Not a patch on the original and best. His ego is the size of a small planet

Sorry guys. It's probably the filming and sound but they sound like an average pub band (except the guitarist) Martins voice too weak on this. I was and still am a big WA fan but this disappoints.

Very amateurish compared to Andy’s band

Mark Abrahams is a better guitar player than these dudes. And Andy Powell is one of the best. I will stick with the band that comes down here to Florida. Too bad the guys couldn't figure out how to get along through the years.

Vocals aren't very good
