"Live Dates" is the first live album by the British rock band Wishbone Ash. No surprise – in concert was the best way to hear Wishbone Ash, because the studio was just too sterile an environment, at least for their hardest-rocking stuff to take off. Anyone really into the group should own this record.
Live Dates 2 is the second live album by rock band Wishbone Ash. It remains a sought-after collector's item. The album was recorded on the 1980 tour in support of the album Just Testing. It peaked at No. 40 in the UK Albums Chart. The first 25,000 copies of this album were a double album, with six extra bonus tracks. Subsequent copies of the album contained only tracks 1 to 6. The album was also released as two single LPs with the titles Live Dates 2 and Live Dates 2, Additional Tapes.
This concert album by the long-running British institution is, overall, its best early work, featuring as it does most of the best songs from its first few albums in vastly better sounding versions. This is, clearly, the place to marvel at the band's innovative melange of blues, folk, Yes- style riffs, and endearingly cosmic lyrics, not to mention its centerpiece - the tag team dueling guitars of Andy Powell and Ted Turner.
