[arnoudgitaar]

Tnx! Forgot the title a long time ago although playing it many times. Great song at that time.

[MrRobbo53]

i saw wishbone ash at manchester uni in 1971 when i was 15 and boy what a concert that was

[Bronzecaster67]

Awesome version of this tune by Jack McDuff . Nice to see Steve Upton up front - a place he deserves . A real good drummer with a jazzy feel here.

[giankka]

Damn,great song!!

[setmenue]

playing bass since 35 years still dont know how martin does it by the way this is the studio version

[tazosborne]

i thought so too but there are differences.. maybe they play it so good live that it sounds like the studio version...

[crimus01]

@setmenue

seems like live at BBC '71 - same setup as: watch?v=wsdXh8eBcts&feature=re­lated

[avfcluke89]

[dandeexxxx]

[stewfike]

I bought the albums then the cassettes, then the CD's now have them ripped to mp3. One of my all time favorite bands!

[fezzappa]

[dandeexxxx]

you are so correct.we missed the boat- not all Americans-Iv seen em live 6 times

[bibby5000]

playing that bassline while singing that

[patroc58]

spectacularly rare version ...i can't believe i'm watching it... one smokin' track by one of the masters of the twin harmony guitars. i recommend you search out the original and headphone it

[RossMedia2007]

For English viewers, this performance was on BBC4 on Friday, (In excellent quality, might I add.) I recommend you try the Iplayer to watch it if you are keen.

[RossMedia2007]

In addition, it's on again tonight (6th jan) on BBC4 at 11.15pm

[bibby5000]

i saw... twaz an awesome night :)

then i came searching for it on here cos i wanted to watch it again, so here i am

[arzachel79]

VAS DIS!

[kingofthedeep]

I'm no Ash pro, but whatever this is, it's amazing!

[StuttgartWolf]

Ogeecheeman you´re spot on regards live performance as I saw them often at Newcastle City Hall in England during the 70's!

Great live band!

Talking of great live bands see you mentioned Jacksonville so obviously i´d have to mention Skynyrd as one of the best live bands ever!

Caught them at the same venue,March 77 the same year as the plane crash!

Whilst i'm on the southern rock subject also saw The Outlaws supporting Little Feat in the 70's there!

Great time for live music!

[OGEECHEEMAN]

You are correct Stuttgart but you know, I was lucky enough to have seen the original band in "72" on the Argus tour in Jacksonville Florida.I also had the pleasure of seeing them absolutely nail this tune on that evening.

[StuttgartWolf]

Sorry to dissapoint anyone but this not LIVE!

It´s from the Old Grey Whistle Test along with the clip of Jailbait!

The reason both songs sound exactly like the versions on Pilgrimage is because they were miming!

Check out Steve Upton´s drumkit,it's not miked up!

Sorry guy's but it ain't a live performance.The Musician's Union probably wouldn't allow it etc.etc.

Roger Daltry said the Who had similar problems regards their performance on the OGWT as well!

Wishbone were a class act in the 70's!

[samuel498]

never knew this was ever on film!!! pretty rare i think

[Mysheep123]

Someone tell me why these guys were so underrated! And so ahead of their time!

[5dyzio75]

It is fantastic. It took me 40 years to find it.

russha717 you are great.

Thanks

5dyzio75

[elviss]

Absolutely classic. Sounds like the album version. Perfection

[RICOBLAB]

IT'S NOT UNLIKE THE FOLLYFOOT THEME.

[gustavosarmento]

There is a limited edition DVD with the full-quality vid of this performance. Now, if someone could get his hands on it and post here...

[zepoe]

wonderful hear again, and see for the first time, thanks for posting this!

[redmach3]

Saw them many times but it,s doing my head in trying to remember the film that vas dis was used in . Anyone help.?

[leenyburghers]

I seem to remember it being used in the seventies on the BBC when there was a technical breakdown - as there often was - as an alternative to the test card. You might remember it from there. I do hope you are not that old - I was a kid you understand

[minihats]

Haha! I'd love to have actually heard that when that happened

[festbock]

glad this vid is back.. really missed it

[sheffbhoy]

They opened with this a few years ago at Sheffield Corporation. Awesome band!

[stevenwest20002000]

This takes me back to when I saw them at the Whiskey and they open up with Vas Dis!I'll never forget those Orange Amps Flying V Guitars of Andy's and Rickenbacker 4001 Bass of Martin Turner.

[ImprobusVisio]

This song got me into Wishbone, although i only like this album Pilgrimage. This one and the song "The pilgrim" are classics.

[hoiguy79]

mmmm really reminds me mars volta to this

[Mathelito]

One of my favs of the band ."Pilgrimage" album included, sombody please got better quality than this, anyway great post. Thxs russha.

[russha717]

Sorry about the poor vid quality. I remember quite clearly, the concert I went to see them at a place called: "Satsop Music Festival" in Washington State, Labor Day weekend in 1971. I have never heard of "Ash" until then, the peformance was memorable. Especially Vas Dis.

Peace

[WimGrundy]

@russha717 they must have liked Washington as they returned to HUGE rave in 1973!

[spockbella]

@russha717 Thank you for uploading ... Anything from WA classic is priceless! Fortunate to have this.

[GlukuNR]
