[News] Wishbone Ash announce new live album “Live Dates Live” and tour dates

Almost fifty years ago to the month, British Rock band  Wishbone Ash  brought out “ Live Dates ,” their most commercially successful album. A milestone, not only for the band, but also in the history of Rock music.  

“At the time, we had been on tour non-stop for three years, had released ‘ Argus’  – from today’s point of view our most important studio album – and were like a well-oiled machine,”  remembers founder  Andy Powell , who continues to helm the group.  “We had made a name for ourselves as a dynamic live act, so it only made sense to capture the energy and vibrancy of our shows on a live album. Fortunately, the record company funded the costly  Rolling Stones Mobile Recording Truck , so we were able to record several shows during our UK tour and compile the most powerful moments on  ‘Live Dates’ .”

Fast forward half a century and we find ourselves in the summer of 2023, with  Wishbone Ash celebrating the anniversary of their 1973 concert classic with a new edition. “ New ” meaning: the same material in exactly the same sequence, performed by the current line-up and recorded at  Daryl’s House Club  in  Pawling, New York . The new release is entitled “ Live Dates Live ” and will be available on CD, vinyl double LP and for digital download on  Steamhammer/SPV  from  September 29, 2023 . 

Andy Powell :  “‘ Live Dates Live ’ is our tribute to the original and our thank-you to all those fans who have been instrumental in making  WISHBONE ASH  one of the few bands from the early seventies who are still active today, who still record new albums and tour on a regular basis.”

Wishbone Ash  in 2023 probably seems to have little in common with the 1973 version but on closer look, there are many parallels. For one, guitarist/vocalist  Andy Powell  still keeps a tight hold of the musical reins, maintaining a sound that is known and loved.

First-rate musicians  Mark Abrahams (guitar) ,  Bob Skeat (guitar)  and  Mike Truscott (drummer),  some of whom are of a younger generation, ooze the original spirit and philosophy of the original line-up, making for a 2023 band that is still 100%  Wishbone Ash .

• The King Will Come
• Throw Down The Sword
• Rock n Roll Widow
• Ballad Of The Beacon
• Baby What You Want Me To Do
• The Pilgrim
• Blowin’ Free
• Lady Whiskey

The new live album “ Live Dates Live ” will be released on September 29, 2023 worldwide through SPV/Steamhammer in the following formats:

=> CD Digipak

=> 2LP Gatefold

Recent tour reviews

Wishbone Ash at the Jahrhunderthalle, Frankfurt put on a superb show including a mix of old and new tracks. The quality of the musicianship was fantastic and the acoustics in the concert hall were excellent. It’s great to experience a band that can still produce a high level of entertainment and belt out songs that originated fifty years ago. It was an exhilarating performance from the group and it appeared they really enjoyed putting on the show. There was great interaction with the audience, all of whom responded with enthusiastic applause. What a night! Well done Wishbone Ash!

Newcastle and the northeast has historically been a Wishbone Ash stronghold for nearly half a century with a sizable following of loyal fans who have turned out annually to see them ever since their heydays back in the early 1970's when Newcastle City Hall was a regular venue on their tour sheet and of course where tracks from their best selling live album, Live Date were recorded.

During recent years, however, Wishbone Ash have been playing venues in and around Newcastle that were far below the bands'status of being one of the most influential guitar bands in the world.

However, agents and promotors pulled their collective stops out for the bands 50th anniversary tour to book them into the Sage, Hall 2. Back in a venue more fitting to their music and in the hub of the Newcastle/Gateshead music scene unsurprisingly the show sold out in record time.

Andy Powell, the bands only remaining original member, who has kept the bands'unique twin lead trademark sound alive by recording and touring tirelessly for 50 years commented on how lucky we were to have such a nice venue with such a great sound. Now joined by his 9th "twin", Mark Abrahams, more than half Mr Powells' age, the equally youthful Joe Crabtree on drums and long-serving member of the quartet, Bob Skeat on bass, the band treated their spell-bound audience to a blistering two hour musical tour highlighting the 5 decades of their career, from the first album through to a track recorded for their new album, Coat of Arms, due for release in January. Although the twin lead trademark sound underpinned the set, not one song sounded like another. The well-chosen set selected from their 24 studio and live albums not only demonstrated the diversity and variety in mood, colour, tone and texture of their music but of course their musical craftmanship and abilities both in writing and performing. It may be true to say that many bands from the late sixties/early seventies still performing are past their peak but the general vibe amongst the audience after the show was that they had witnessed something fresh and new in music from the past 50 years. That may be the secret to Wishbone Ash's longevity. They have never stood still forever evolving, never allowing themselves to be pigeon holed.

Due to the demand for this show Wishbone Ash return to the Sage in January 2021 but this time in the larger hall 1. No surprise.

The guys were on it from the moment they came on stage. A great set list from across the decades really helped the night go well.

Probably one of the best performances I’ve seen in a long while, if not ever. Sound mix was good as you could clearly pick out each of the band, and boy what a band. Andy, Bob, Mark and Joe really worked as one and it was a pleasure to witness it.

Happy 50th chaps and here’s to many more. See you again next year . . .

Wishbone Ash to tour UK

Andy Powell and co release limited-edition straight-to-vinyl live album

Wishbone Ash have confirmed a UK tour for October and November.

And Andy Powell and co have launched a straight-to-vinyl live album, recorded as it was played, with just 750 copies available.

Powell – who won a legal battle with Martin Turner over the band’s name last year – says: “We’re looking forward to reconnecting with fans from the past who are just catching on that we’ve been touring non-stop for 46 years.

“And for our faithful fans who’ve walked with us consistently, we have some special things in store.”

The vinyl record, Live At Metropolis , was recorded at the London venue in May. The band explain: “As soon as the cutting needle hit the acetate, we started performing side A –and didn’t stop until the needle was lifted. The process meant that even the gaps between songs were live.”

It’s available now , and no further releases are planned in any format. A live DVD, recorded in Paris following the Metropolis show, is to be launched next month.

Almost fifty years ago to the month, British rock band Wishbone Ash brought out ‘Live Dates’, their most commercially successful album.

A milestone, not only for the band, but also in the history of rock music. “At the time, we had been on tour non-stop for three years, had released ‘Argus’ – from today’s point of view our most important studio album – and were like a well-oiled machine,” remembers founder Andy Powell, who continues to helm the group.

We had made a name for ourselves as a dynamic live act, so it only made sense to capture the energy and vibrancy of our shows on a live album. Fortunately, the record company funded the costly Rolling Stones Mobile Recording Truck, so we were able to record several shows during our UK tour and compile the most powerful moments on ‘Live Dates’.”   Fast forward half a century and we find ourselves in the summer of 2023, with Wishbone Ash celebrating the anniversary of their 1973 concert classic with a new edition.

New” meaning: the same material in exactly the same sequence, performed by the current line-up and recorded at Daryl’s House Club in Pawling, New York. The new release is entitled ‘Live Dates Live’ and will be available on CD, vinyl double LP and for digital download on Steamhammer/SPV from September 29, 2023.   Andy Powell: “‘Live Dates Live’ is our tribute to the original and our thank-you to all those fans who have been instrumental in making Wishbone Ash one of the few bands from the early seventies who are still active today, who still record new albums and tour on a regular basis.”   Of course, Wishbone Ash mark 2023 has little in common with the 1973 line-up. Or do they? After all, guitarist/vocalist Andy Powell still keeps a tight hold of the musical reins. In addition, guitarist Mark Abrahams, bassist Bob Skeat and drummer Mike Truscott are first-rate musicians, some of whom may be a lot younger, but ooze the original spirit and philosophy of this outstanding band.

Tracklisting: 1. The King Will Come 2. Warrior 3. Throw Down The Sword 4. Rock n Roll Widow 5. Ballad Of The Beacon 6. Baby What You Want Me To Do 7. The Pilgrim 8. Blowin’ Free 9. Jailbait 10. Lady Whiskey 11. Phoenix   The new live album “Live Dates Live” will be released on September 29, 2023 worldwide through SPV/Steamhammer as CD digipak, 2LP gatefold, download and stream:  https://WishboneAsh.lnk.to/LiveDatesLive
