This was one of the best live shows I have ever been to.Period. My husband came along kicking and screaming but at the end of the night was buying merch. Brought another WA friend in from Toronto and he loved it too. They still have it. New additions were chosen well as they blend right in. Singer still has his voice. It was an amazing show. We will now fly up to Oakland to see them this weekend. They still rock!!!
Wishbone Ash is incredible, Andy and the band were fabulous! Not only are they great artist but they hung around until the very last person got an autograph or a photo, wonderful guys
The band was fantastic! Andy still sounds absolutely great - The other lead guitar player is out of this world as is the bassist and drummer This line-up has been together for years
It was an amazing band. Would I see them again, yes.
This was a show I did not want to miss. I first and last saw them was with 15,000 or so others, at the Spectrum in Philadelphia in 1972. They were the first band of three to play that evening and absolutely blew everyone away with their high energy dueling guitar mastery. I almost went alone, as much to my disappointment, most of my friends did not know who they were, or did not recall their music. With a promise of restaurant with good Indian food beforehand, I got my wife, not being a concert fan, particularly guitar oriented rock, to go with me. The band did not disappoint. The musicianship from the four players was top notch. Andy Powell communicated nicely with the audience, and remains a top notch lead singer and guitarist. All players contributed to the vocals, and were able to capture the sound of the band from the heyday. Bob Skeat, upbeat with a constant smile, was perfection on bass, an important component of the original Wishbone Ash sound, and offering a couple of awesome solo's, Muddy, also on lead and slide added an edge that complimented the more melodic Powell. Crabtree on drums, even my wife noted, stood out with clarity and precision, and a backbone to allow the bad the freedom to layer the melodic adventures that is Wishbone Ash. The only disappointment of the evening is that there was not more than 200 or so fans attending. The band played as well or better than when I fist saw them almost 45 years ago. Glad I made it to the show.
The band is super tight and is as good as they were when I saw them in the early 1970's! Their current lineup, led by Andy Powell, with his signature Flying V guitar, has a firm grasp on their playlist from "way back when". The dual lead guitars were in sequence when they were supposed to be and complemented each other nicely when on solos. Their "newer" music, including "Way Down South", is equally well written and adheres to their high standards of quality. You could tell the guys worked really hard to do a great performance and they certaintly achieved it. If I am ever offered the opportunity to see them again, I will surely go.
I have been a fan of hard rock/blues since the late 60's. This show was some of the best live guitar I have heard. These guys still have it (realize it is not original lineup), and seemed better now than 5 years ago.
Went to see Wishbone Ash at the new Ringside Cafe, in downtown St. Pete. Great place to see a show like this. These guys were so tight and crisp, it was well worth the years I have waited to see them. I couldn't believe it when I heard they were coming to St. Pete. The new CD is clean and refreshing. The band is so solid all the way through. One of my favorite new songs from the CD, is "Way down south". Cool lyrics, and the instrumental finish on the song is melodic and very tasteful. These guys really play. By the way, the band stuck around after the show and signed shirts and CD's. Thanks, Andy and Muddy for signing my shirt., and got the whole band to sign the CD cover. Would love to see these great musicians again.
This was just an incredible show! The interplay between the two guitarists was fantastic and seamless the audience and the band was enthusiastic an amazing show overall best show I've seen in a a while!
Loved to see that Andy Powell is sticking with his flying V guitar. No better sound! New guy on base really good and sings well with Andy. Ben Granfelt is the best second guitar for this band since the beginning. I don't know what happened but I can't see real growth with their new slide bar player. Just my opinion. Seen them 5 times over the years.
Great trip down memory lane. Excellant show. Andy kicked ass.
Although Wishbone Ash has had many band line up changes over a long period of time, with the exception of original band member Andy Powell, they always seem to impress me, and I have seen them many times over the last 35yrs. and this show in Atlanta was way cool, they played well, the sound was good, and they did two sets, some old material was played as well as the new stuff, and the new stuff is very cool blues rock, very nice job guys, look forward to seeing them again in the future, always a good show to go see.
This is my first time ever seeing Wishbone Ash. It had always been a goal of mine to see them. I have been a big fan of them since about 1974, and never thought I would have the opportunity to catch one of their shows. I had been told, that they were a great live band and this concert proved that to me. I went to the meet and greet before the show started and met with Andy Powell. He is very friendly and easy to talk with. He signed autographs for everyone that wanted one or many. Andy took pictures with anyone who asked. I asked Andy if I could get a picture with him, with me holding his signature Flying V guitar, and he was more than happy to let me do that. Two thumbs up for Andy Powell. Wishbone Ash did two sets this night, with the first set being the Album "ARGUS " ( My Favorite of the Ash). They played it in it's entirety, in the order as the songs are on the album. After a 20 minute break, they came back and played a variety of songs, mostly from their early works, but also a couple from their new release "Blue Horizon". They ended the show with IMO the best rendition of the song "PHOENIX" I have ever heard. They came back and played two more songs, Persephone and Deep Blues (from their new release) to a very appreciative crowd. I was standing Stage Front the whole show and wish I would have had earplugs, because my ears are still ringing from this amazing show. If you ever get the chance to see Wishbone Ash Live, see them by all means, you will not be disappointed. GREAT BAND< GREAT SHOW.
GREAT VENUE. COZY. UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL. FOLLOWING ASH SINCE 1971. THIS WAS THE ULTIMATE. ANDY POWELL SO PERSONALABLE. Muddy, Joe and Bob were wonderful. Hoping they come back to Atlanta.
Third time I've seen them at this venue, and the best of the three. "Argus" in its entirety to stop, then a set of all the other favorites. Sound was incredible, lighting was awesome, and the entire band was energized and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Wonderful, wonderful show.
Great show! My husband is a fan, so I surprised him with tickets. We hadn't been to the venue before and were pleasantly surprised. It is intimate and has a friendly pub atmosphere with good acoustics for live music. Wishbone Ash rocked and everyone there enjoyed the show.
The best guitar band on the planet. That's not an exaggeration. The twin leads of Andy Powell and Muddy Manninen blend and soar like no other, flying through 40-plus years of classic back-catalogue yet featuring tracks from a new studio album. Fresh from dates all over Europe and now headed for gigs in Texas and the far West. Playing small halls at a bargain price. Don't miss the chance to see these legendary road warriors rip it up the way other bands can only dream of playing.
Absolutely amazing!!! If you miss Wishbone Ash while they are in the USA you will regret it!! They put on a fabulous show!! Unforgettable as always!!! I think this one was their BEST Show I have seen to date!! And I have seen them many times!! Wish we could have made it to all the Florida shows!! Please keep coming back - Andy Powell!! WE LOVE YOU!!
Andy Powell, who is overlooked in guitar world...and company...played the Argus album in its entirety and did not disappoint. Sooo.....glad i was finally able to see this music performed live! Do not miss the opportunity to see these guys while you have a chance..!
The guys are still playing very well. They are a legend in progressive rock and I`m glad to see them playing the tunes from 70`s and 60`s and composing new stuffs. Wishbones rules!
