Description
Live Dates is the first live album by the British rock band Wishbone Ash released in 1973. This LP is a 1974 reissue of the original 1973 album.
Following the release of the album, founding member Ted Turner left the band, resulting in a shift of the band's musical approach.
Wishbone Ash are a British rock band who achieved success in the early and mid-1970's. Their popular albums included WIshbone Ash (1970), Pilgrimage (1971), Argus (1972), Wishbone Four (1973), There's the Rub (1974) and New England (1976). Wishbone Ash are noted for their extensive use of harmony twin lead guitars, which had been attracting electric blues bands since Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page had played together in the Yardbirds in 1966. Their contributions helped Andy Powell and Ted Turner to be voted "Two of the Ten Most Important Guitarists in Rock History" (Traffic magazine 1989), and to appear in the "Top 20 Guitarists of All Time" (Rolling Stone). Melody Maker (1972) described Powell and Turner as "the most interesting two guitar team since the days when Beck and Page graced the Yardbirds". They have been cited as an influence by Iron Maiden founder and bassist Steve Harris, as well as other bands like Van Halen, Thin Lizzy and Metallica.Tracklist
