5.0 out of 5 stars A treasure of a band, a gem of a CD, May 16, 2004

Yes, recorded in 1992-January 24 & 25 to be exact. Both original guitarists Andy Powell and Ted Turner perform their usual high quality harmony leads. Drummer Ray Weston was in the band from 1991-1994 and returned in 1998 to the present time. Andy Pyle was in the band 1986-1987 then from 1991-1994. I actually found this CD in an over stocked store along with Live in Geneva with another fine line-up headed by the perrenial Andy Powell. Any chance to see them live, as they are continuously touring, should be immediately seized upon. I just saw them 2 months ago. 71 minutes and 20 seconds of pure musicianship

5.0 out of 5 stars Prime Ash!, August 8, 2001

This is one of the best live concerts this band has ever produced. Another would be 'Hot Ash', which is still unavailable on cd. Every track is great and the band is in perfect sync throughout. Check out 'Strange Affair', brilliant.

How good is this album? I picked it up several months ago on a whim, and more or less unheard. I have not stopped playing it yet, and I can't really see that happening any time soon! It is a great document of the early 90's incarnation of this great band and sees a good combination of all time classics and a little more recent (as of then) tracks. There have been a great many live releases from Wishbone over the years. They are clearly under pressure to play standards like "The King Will Come", "Throw Down the Sword" etc every time they play, but regardless of the number of versions of those particular songs I have heard, the renditions on this album still sound fresh and exciting to my ear. This release sees the ever present Any Powell again teamed with Ted Turner and that sweet dual guitar sound is as good on this as it was on the original "Live Dates" back in the 70's. In conclusion, do yourself a big favour and listen to this album.
