As a quintessential late Boomer myself, I can assure you all, Wishbone Ash was and still is, the greatest secret every classic rock connoisseur needs to discover in order for their musical palate to be complete - Wishbone Ash was their own musical genre! They were delicious!

If one was a rock connoisseur, they would already be aware of this great band! I knew people who had listened to status quo. But had not heard wishbone ash. I would say, you could compare them in terms of the two guitar front. I was lucky. As a kid, there was a local band who were obviously influenced by wishbone ash. And would play their stuff. Very well actually! Mid seventies was a good time to be a kid and discover great music!

Great doc... I fell off the plate after 'There's The Rub' tho Powell went went on to do great things. As a bass player myself, Martin Turner is up there with McCartney. He was a huge influence on everything to do with my playing, jazz to rock and all in between. Going back after the years, I remember playing 'Argus' until my copy was worn out - Lol! Having played with lots of drummers over the years I can honestly say Mr Upton has the amazing feel and accuracy to inspire, what a drummer, what a band! Thanks for posting! I am 66!

I'll never forget the first album, when the needle hit the vinyl and "Blind Eye" came on, we were never the same. What's rarely mentioned is the infectious jazz/rock shuffle feel of Turner/Upton, on songs like "Blind Eye," "Blowin' Free" and "Jail Bait." To me they weren't the same after "Pilgrimage" when they were still young, hungry and full of inspiration.

An amazing live band who never really got the recognition they really deserved . It was a great shame that their internal squabbles caused a split that never really got resolved. Nevertheless there is no other band who managed to create their sound/style and that is something that they can be very proud of. They are right up there with the best of their generation.

Videos can be found here on RU-vid. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-56zByocEO64.html This is a terrific documentary.

The first three wonderful albums were breathtaking. A unique intertwining twin melodic guitar sound and unforgettable songs. And then they ran out of tunes. You can have the best guitar players in the world, but if there are no memorable melodies to hook the listener and excite them, then it's not memorable. I still listen to the classics from the early days, now and again. And they still sound as uplifting as then, the guitars and tunes soaring into the skies. The King Will Come, yes!

Echo your sentiments completely. Saw them a few times early on and they were as good as any band I have ever seen. Argus is their Masterpiece, ''There's the Rub'' is a worthy runner up. 'Live Dates'' is also great but doesn't count really, being live. They did produce solid albums thereafter, but never really replicated the best early works. Finally, for me it's either ''Sometime World'' or ''Throw Down the Sword'' from Argus and ''F.U.B.B.'' from Rub. Keep the Ashes burning.

Oh hell! These guys beating up on Pilgrimage? Between Vas Dis and the title track, it takes down the first album. The song Pilgrimage is outstanding and tells a story. Put on some headphones and let it rock. Argus (along with 12 dreams of Dr. Sardonicus were the albums in my high school crowd. Saw Wishbone just after 4 came out in 1973 with Flash as the opener. pdg

Shame that I finally bothered to look into this band at the geezer age of 41. Too bad - if I knew them as a teenager would have been right up my alley, since I started off from British hard rock. What a band. Early Judas Priest makes a lot more sense now. I haven't even listened Argus yet, though it is coming in the mail. There's The Rub is fantastic album. Wishbone Four too. Number The Brave and Just Testing, Front Page News - all great. And so is their latest, Coat of Arms.

@@WishboneAshSavatage I find the debut and Pilgrimage a bit too bluesy for my taste. I think they hit the best stride when they play their signature folky-hard rock, or some later guitarwork eccentricities.

I actually prefer Pilgrimage to the debut. Then they went on to produce Argus, which is one of the best albums ever recorded. I also think that No Smoke Without Fire is brilliant and Just Testing is very good. But I can't listen to Locked in or Twin Barrels Burning: not Trevor Bolder's fault - Laurie Wisefield took over the band and played almost all lead - which he was very good at - but it relegated Andy Powell to a rhythm player, and he's far too good for that. And Raw to the Bone is just awful. I saw them on the Nouveau Calls tour and it was brilliant, as was the follow up Here to Hear. If Why Don't We had been written by Sting and released by The Police, it would have been a no1 hit.

New England is my favorite studio album of WA. Every song is so beautiful, the sound of the band is marvelous. I don't mean that the songs are the best, but they sound so well in a studio album. This is what always puzzled me: since their songs are so much better in the live albums, why didn't they record their albums as they would record the songs live?

I will say I was shocked that this "documentary" did not contain massive drug use, fights among band members, trashed hotel rooms, no shows by members for concerts, etc. Quite remarkable if that's the real case.

Interesting, but I wouldn't call this a full documentary. For god sake you didn't even delve into Martin's departure...I'd call it an overview...for me, couldn't buy an album after Live Dates. Nothing after that comes close to that bar. I think I could listen to one song on each album twice after that. It seemed like they wanted to advance their identity...but never found it. Everything seemed like they where searching, striving for commercial success and always fell short...That's why if you listen to this day with Andy Powell's Wishbone ash tour dates/videos that least half of it is form the first three albums recorded. Basically, half is live dates revisited and the second half is a cherry pick of all the remaining albums....so one half cover their first 3 years of song writing and the second half, the remaining 30-40 yrs....that says it all.

They were a much more interesting band when they had the jazz and folk influences of their early albums. Laurie Wisefield was a good replacement for Ted Turner. His guitar work in his previous band, Home, was excellent. I don't know why the critics label him as previously a rhythm player. As their sound became more americanised, they're sound was less distinctive, they sounded like other bands. They were never as good without Martin Turner's bass guitar and vocals. I can't get interested in the Andy Powell-led Wisbone Ash.

Great band history. But I do not agree with the supposed inferiority of Pilgrimage to the first album. That shows that some music journalists don’t know a lot about music. Why then Jailbait became one of their standards through the years? And the singing skills definitely improved in this short time. Errors of my Ways is a wonderful ballad. But the vocals….. 😂 . Compare that to Valediction! Way better vocals already. And Argus finally IS their masterpiece. Everybody agrees on that. For me there was a steep rise in the quality of the band till Argus. And then came a drop. The fourth is in no way better then Argus. Which was the peak.
