Live Dates Live - Digipak CD

Almost 50 years ago to the month, the British rock band Wishbone Ash released 'Live Dates', the most commercially successful album of their career. A milestone, not only for the band itself, but for the history of rock music in general. "At that time we had been touring continuously for three years, had released 'Argus', our - from today's point of view - most important studio album, and were perfectly recorded," remembers founder Andy Powell, head of the group to this day. "We were firmly established as a vital live band, so it made sense to capture the energy and vibrancy of our shows on a live album. Fortunately, the record company financed us the expensive 'Rolling Stones Mobile Recording Truck,' so we were able to record several shows on our U.K. tour at once and use the strongest moments for 'Live Dates.'" Time jump, half a century later, we are in the summer of 2023 and Wishbone Ash is celebrating the anniversary of their 1973 concert classic with a reissue. New means: the same songs in the same order, played by the current line up and recorded at 'Daryl's House Club' in Pawling, New York.
