Wishbone Ash - F.U.B.B. (Live Dates 2) 1980

Wishbone Ash - F.U.B.B. (from LP: Live Dates 2) 1980.


FUBB - Eins der für mich bedeutensten Instrumentalstücke der Rockmusik.

Dieses Video ist eine Kombination von Bildern aus meinem letzten Urlaub in Masuren
und dem Soundtrack der 1980er Wishbone Ash FUBB-Version (LP "Live Dates 2 -1980").
Es ist möglich, daß "Niemen" dort als "Vorgruppe" spielte, aber dafür ist mein Polnisch
zu schlecht, um dies zu verstehen...

FUBB (for me) is one of the most important instrumental-tracks in Rock.

This videotrack is a combination from the Wishbone Ash (Live Dates 2) FUBB-track and some pictures from my last holiday in Poland (Ermland/Warmia, Allenstein/Olsztyn).
Wishbone Ash played there two days before i made this pictures!
It`s possible to, that Polish group "Niemen" played there too, but i don`t know (my Polish is too
bad...)

Some notes from progarchives.com and wishboneash.co.uk about "Live Dates 2" album:

Seven years after their brilliant 1973 "Live Dates" double album comes this 1980 collection, six tracks made at Hull, Bristol, Wolverhampton and London. The same sparkling sound quality, the same amazing cover art, but a different set of songs and a different line-up, Laurie Wisefield replacing Ted Turner on guitar and vocals, but not at all to the band's detriment, "Live Dates 2" traces the Wishbone saga from Wishbone Four to Just Testing.

Side one of the first LP represents the biggest Ash cross-section. Doctor from Wishbone Four album kicks the album off nicely. Living Proof delivered on a windy night at Bristol Colston Hall has beefy chords and dirty words sweetened by a long solo at the end. Runaway and Helpless culled from Wolverhampton Civic Hall are perennial Ashtwo roustabout tracks where the warmth of the audience begins to kindle.

Second side contains two longer, 9-minute prog-rock inclined jamming suites, "FUBB" (from "There's the Rub") and "Way of the World" (from "No Smoke Without Fire"). Both are very good compositions with extended twin guitar solos, convincing bass and strong drums with frequent change of themes and rhythmic structure.

The second LP features much lilting Ash with Lorelei, Persephone and You Rescue Me, all very smooth and magnificently paced especially the delicacy of Persephone. Time Was which opens the second side has mellowed greatly over the years and the handling this time around is particularly soft.

Wisefield gets his vocal solo glory on "Goodbye Baby". His usual rendition is helped by a strong chorus line. And so we close with No Easy Road again considerably reworked with some particularly swaggering vocals from Turner. Its so good you wont even miss the blasting brass section of the original. Ash live and rampant.

Line-up :
- Andy Powell / guitars & vocals
- Laurie Wisefield / guitars & vocals
- Martin Turner / bass & vocals
- Steve Upton / drums

The two versions of WIshbone are a bit like Dave Gilmour being billed as the guitar and voice of Pink Floyd, and Roger Waters being the creative genius. Both play Floyd songs but neither sound the same without the other one, Comfortably Numb being a good example of this. Really the only Wishbone Ash was the original consisting of Ted Turner, Andy Powell, Martin Turner and Steve Upton. They were untouchable in their day, and both versions of the band are pale imitations of a once great force.

There are two versions of Wishbone Ash doing the rounds - Martin Turner's version and Andy Powell's. A pity a once great band has splintered like this - much prefer Andy Powell's version though

Seen Ash in various lineups about 25 times over 30+ years. Not sure about the whole mk 1 v mk 2 debate. They are just great in all guises, although LW was my favourite guitar player. Best gig ever in my life was Ash at Bath Pavillion on the Just Testing tour (1979?) with LW. That was awesome. Like so much Ash, it sounds better live. "Doctor" the opener was fantastic & LW was incredible & Steve Upton was jaw dropping.

Just wish they would re-release live dates vol 2 on cd! I met AP outside t

Slight Correction: F.U.B.B. = Fucked Up Beyond Belief. Ted Turner told me.
