Wishbone Ash - The King Will Come (Live At Rockpalast 1976) 

Now 70 years old, isn’t it amazing that the music of our youth is now the music of our twilight. Transports me back every time I hear it.

This time where music was only music, no machines, no auto tune... Just pure talent was doing the job. What a blessing to have been a teen at this time

This is a really great live version of this song. Brilliant.

One of the most underrated bands ever!!

51 years after I first heard the Argus album, it's still one of my all time favorites!

I am 61 and my daughter at 19 says that Wishbone Ash music is intellectual! Do you oldies agree? Gal loves it so much.

This was and always will be what guitar rock should sound like.

Two guitarists swapping lead and rhythm but still displaying their differing styles - Laurie doing the Strat/delay justice with soaring plectrum work and then Andy with his more spikey, fingerstyle approach (reminds me a little of Richard Thompson). It all gels magnificently for a great live recording

Saw them yesterday in Amsterdam....wauw.....still playing as 50 years ago...one the favourite bands of my brother who passed away two years. But I grew up with this music...and happy to be part of that musical time

At 67 I love and still listen to Wishbone Ash...💓

Saw them live twice in the early 70's. Awesome. One of the all time great dual lead guitar bands.

This is the definition of guitar playing.

Still listen to this 2020!

I was on holiday in 1971 to see my Aunt and Uncle in London Ontario Canada, l was 16, was introduced to the album Argus by a son of friends of the family. Wow. Played the king will come tonight in 2024. I hear you my friend. ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

Over the years I have owned a cassette, an LP album, a CD and a High Res download of the original Live Dates release. Loved this group since was 16 years old, and I'm 63 today.

That's one of the best tones from a strat that I've ever heard! Laurie was on FIRE!!!😁

Been a fan of Wishbone Ash since my teens. Very underrated band, wrote great songs and played them beautifully with great energy and fire. Definitely one of my top five favorite bands of all time!

THE guitar band of the 70's.

You won't be seeing any band like this one coming around. They really are a big secret from folks around in the 70's that dug rock music. One of the key signatures of the band was going from all-out guitar jamming to quiet strumming. It brought you up and down in the traditional rock format rather than Pink Floyd type effects for instance. True rockers here. The Argus album had this sort of medieval theme which for me was more subtle in its deliver rather than a time mood piece.

Just recently found my old tickets from their Newcastle City hall gigs! Saw them more than any band back in my 'hairy' days. This footage brings back such fond memories.

Martin Turner, Steve Upton, Andy Powell and Laurie Wisefield were an amazing lineup in Wishbone Ash. I wish I could have seen that lineup of Wishbone Ash in concert!

What a band!!!! Superb

So much good music came from Rockpalast, why we, the US, doesn't have this is shameful. I was in Germany around this time and we used to watch this all weekend, many bands playing 24 hours.

Laurie was the master at sliding into a riff and nailing it everytime .

2021 and I am still listening. Everybody needs a friend or some good testosterone Music.

This song is a great mix of folk and straight out rock. A real masterpiece.

The most under rated band of all time

OMG! Incredible musical talent. None of the crap from these days can challenge the hard and progressive rock music of 70's.

For me the best band of all time. Bought my first Wishbone Ash album in '72 when I was introduced to Wishbone by a colleague. Subsequently bought everything I could lay my hands on. Had the good fortune to watch live both the original lineup with Ted Turner and the lineup with Laurie Wisefield. Time Was, The King Will Come and Throw Down the Sword will be played when they burn me in the box. 72 now so who knows.

Still listening 2023 🎤😍❤️🎵🎶🤩💕💕

Man this song gives me chills, and I just discovered it in 2015, and I'm not a youngster!!!! Such a tight band, and inspiration to many to come.

Saw these loads of times at Liverpool stadium they never disappointed, one of the most underrated bands ever.

2 of the greatest guitar solos of all time in the same song. Done by two totally different guitarists. What does that tell you about the 1970s!! Pure Fun Pure Freedom!!

Most of all I love Wishbone Ash, perfect twin guitar leads and harmonies. True masters, true innovators.

Saw these guys live in Austin circa 1972. Fabulous band way ahead of their time. Still great to listen to.

Pretty amazing song, so underrated

These guys are incredible....and very underrated....i saw them twice in the 70s and still listen to them today....the tours i saw were Wishbone 4 and There's The Rub

How is this song not more famous? One of the best of all time...

This lineup is my favorite. Laurie is a great great guitarist👍

brilliant vocals by martin and andy i saw them live 1976 glasgow apollo

Love this fabulous band.... Takes me back to 75..... Want Cruz ...

One of my most favorite songs from one of my most favorite album by one of my most favorite bands! I’ve dug Wishbone Ash since when their very first album was released up until now and till the day I die.

I still have Wishbone Ash, Argus, Pilgramige, Wishbone Four, Live Dates and There's the Rub, on vinyl. Also a pretty knackered version of Live Dates on a pre-recorded tape. About sixteen years ago. I saw both versions of Wishbone Ash, within weeks of each other.

Saw the band in 73? at Auckland New Zealand's Western Springs venue. Friggin amazing. The lineup was Martin, Ted, Andy Powell and Steve Upton from memory. I was about five metres from the stage with Andy right in front of me and I remember him watching me as I studied his guitar playing.. So cool. Will never forget those two lead guitars going for it. Of course it was a huge sound system - so much better than any stereo! Met a guy a few years ago who had also seen them on the same tour but in Wellington a couple of days later.

I have never heard this band, although I'm listing music since the 70's. What an incredible sound! An incredible to discover such a jewel!

I first saw them in Austin and then in Houston back in the mid70’s. Still listen to them to this day, timeless, fabulous.

I had totally forgot about Wishbone Ash. Thanks

a most underrated Band ..love them

True.been listening to them For over 50 years. Fav album.Pilgrimage.

I rate Argus in the top 10 Albums . I bought this early. Wish I could have seen them live . Privileged to have found them. I pity the kids today.....

First time hearing this. Great guitar tone 👍

In Iraq, in the 70s , we listened to two rock favourites, deep purple and wishbone ash. Wishbone ash first album is a classic.

Saw them within days of this TV performance in Freiburg/Black Forest in December 1976, and the concert blew us, my friend and I, away. They were in exceptional form then, Laurie ruled.

Oh my goodness I have listened to Wishbone Ash since the early 70's...💓

I heard W-Ash as the opening act for Ten Years After at a concert in Stuttgart in 1992. I really, really liked W-Ash. Because of TYA I went to the concert, the fourth already, but I liked Ash the best. Later I heard W-Ash again at Rockpalast TV. Just great. And it's true: I've never seen such a great, powerful strat in the solo of "the king will come" from Laurie. Very, very, very good.I listen to this song with the solo several times a week. Divine. The most under rated band of time!! No wonder Tina Turner and Joe Cocker hired him as their guitarist. Sorry for my (geman) english.

These guys were great with the rhythm and then their vocal and guitar harmonies. Great song!

I Still have 10 of Their Albums🎸♥️

I read somewhere that Phil Lynott and his thin Lizzy bandmates used to go to WA gigs and were once overheard saying ' this is the sound we want'. Go to the wishbone ash distillation album and listen to a live song called 'lookin for a reason' then you will understand.

Laurie Wisefield's joy in performing this is infectious and totally hooked me. Plus, the contrast of Laurie's clean Fender tones versus Andy's Gibson is endlessly fascinating.

Beautiful tones from both guitars...so glad that Spotify randomly put this song on my playlist. I’m looking forward to more.

fantastic band bought all the albums still in my top ten of british rock bands

This song is sacred in my mind.

What a brilliant live sound and so tight😀

One of the best bands of all times...

The best live band. 🎸🎸All time

Love the tone out of that lead Strat. OMG ! perfection.

I saw her in Sankt Wendel Germany in 1984. My god where has the time gone?

1975-76, these guys were the class of rock music.

I saw Ash a few times at the Glasgow Apollo in the 70's, a mate caught one of Stevie Uptons drumsticks at a gig. Great band, loved them since 72 onwards and still play their stuff regularly.

I had forgotten all about these guys. They are incredible! Hadn't heard them since 1976.

I could listen to this song everyday damn i love that strat they are all great! What a band!

Saw these guys in college in '73. Sentimental journey.

Discovering this band for the first time and wondering where they've been my whole life. Their first three albums are pure gold

was a fan back in the 70s. now i found these vids ive watched them 100 times. renewed my faith in real musicians!

❤saw them several times here in Cleveland Ohio fantastic

Incredible, Jam. Wishbone ash, featuring the Turner Brothers, Andy and Ted. Crank this Jam, with your Breakfast in the morning!!!!

Ever so often getting fascinated by Martin’s bass Very distinct and beautifully played

Just loved this band & song in the70's ..... brilliant & thank you from South Frica after all these years still so amazingly awesome .... thank you so much !!!

Amazing group of the 70’s 👍👏♥️♥️♥️🌹🌹🌹🎸🎸🎸

When Wishbone Ash were at their very best with Martin Turner on lead vocals and bass

Masterpiece - It gets me every single time / whole LP is phenomenal

I’m 22 years old and wishbone ash is my favourite band in the world ❤ Stray , UFO , groundhogs and Hawkwind all the way! I travelled from Canada to Uk to see them! So happy I have a great taste in music 🎉

i`ve seen this concert 76,.and began to play guitar. And i love it til this day

fantastic sounds

Laurie Wisefield!!!!!! Great guitarist and vocalist. A great addition to the band at the time.

Always rated this great band , Ah the memories!!!!

So underappreciated! My first live show. Blew me away !

Wonderful sound...! Class ....!!

Saw this line up in ocean city md civic center mid seventies. Argus album a true classic rock album

saw them 6 times till now, hope they will still be playing after covid! :)

Saw them way back put on a grate show

Just superb. Saw them a couple of times at the old Liverpool stadium in the 1970’s.

I still have the vinyl of that album. And to those that think Laurie is coming off as a smarta•• chewy gum. He looks to me like he is enjoying playing the song. Most likely the gum is for dry mouth from smokin the weed! As we did. I really like how he is playing it. Very ethereal. 😁🖖✌️.

I haven't heard this since I was a teenager in the 1970s and I'm very surprised to hear it sounds better than I'd remembered!! Result!!

Wow I feel that window pane all over again

Brings back fond memories of Mr growing up.

I love this song since I was a child

one of the best bands Keep on ROCK'N

Nice piece guitar solo awesome bradder....
