Wishbone Ash – Entire “Argus” Live & Other Hits

For this special concert, Wishbone Ash will perform their landmark album, “Argus” (1972), in its entirety. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the release of “Argus,” the band’s third album. “Argus” is interwoven with medieval and spiritual imagery, featuring such classics as “The King Will Come,” “Throw Down the Sword” and “Blowin’ Free” – all three are still staples of Wishbone Ash’s regular concerts. It is on “Argus” that guitarists Andy Powell and Ted Turner perfected their melodic twin-lead style, which later influenced such bands as Thin Lizzy and Iron Maiden.

Inspired equally by British folk traditions, American jazz and R&B, the group has played to public and critical acclaim. Celebrating 50 continuous years of touring – up until the pandemic – Wishbone Ash is the quintessential road band, having gained worldwide recognition, based firmly on a regime of relentless touring and recording which has fed and grown their rabid following.
