Think Iron Maiden listened to them much? They couldn't hold a candle to these guys. They made rock and roll respectable. Finest guitar team this side of the galaxy! This concert is amazing!!!!
I saw this formation, the original, in 1974 with my brother on an open air concert in Ludwigsburg. Andy Powell, Martin and Ted Turner, Steve Upton. It was so great and my first concert or open air.
Thank you for the upload. What an incredible band indeed. Then and still now (and let's not forget to buy their work and/or see them on stage as much as we can).
I hear great song writing as well as harmonizing twin lead. It makes me think maybe Iron Maiden or Thin Lizzie may have taken this influence and put their stamp on it. Very musical harmonies by the singers. Really love this.
I really like the original lineup and have all their albums. The older classic ones and from the reunion years. Some excellent stuff. The 80's drumming is the only drawback on the latter stuff.
First time i've seen the original band in concert. This is exceptional playing and would have been superb to have been there. The modern incarnations are good,but....
There weren't any Music Man?Peavey HP sig type guitars(such as Andy is playing)-or Paul Reed Smiths (which is what Ted is using) about back in '74, I'm afraid. Also the clothes and hair give this away as a later 80's concert, I believe-20th anniversary Ted says.

Why go back? Since 10 years we have two Wishbone Ash bands. Show us another band with this spirit. You can see them both evry year, at least in Europe they are touring regularly.
Much as I love John Wetton, and Laurie Wisefield- THIS is Wishbone Ash....the only lineup that sounds right to me. Although the first couple with Laurie in the late 70's were close....but Ted and Andy just clicked together. And of course Martin makes it final. They are well past their prime here-but still sound great.The other 90's and 2000's on iterations are just excellent bar bands, imho.
The original Satsop happened in '69, I went into service @ the 70's. I was there. Something doesn't make scenes. I know Joe Cocker showed up for one song. It was great and he left..poof, like so many did. Trying to make a name for themselves.
Great show but very low sound volume and not their best sound mix. Great live band what shines with a lot of tasty live stuff out there on RU-vid and CD. Thanks for the upload!!!
