"As a fan, I was curious about this disc. To my horror, the entire disc is Mono!? Performances are good but not worth raving about. One for the die hard fan. A better choice would be 'Live in Chicago'."
Wishbone Ash - 'BBC Radio One Live' (Griffin)

"'BBC Radio One Live' is an eight tune set that was recorded at the Paris Theater on May 25,1972.During the band's heyday,no doubt.Wishbone Ash has always been noted for their top notch use of their 'double lead guitar' sound.Heck,I think Wishbone may've even invented it.Founding members vocalists/guitarists Andy Powell and Ted Turner really shine through out this seventy-minute performance.I couldn't get enough of the opening track "Blowing Free" and the twenty-minute encore "Phoenix".Wanted to mention that "Jailbait" and "The King Will Come" also hold up quite well.Great classic '70's rock to enjoy.I had seen the band awhile back open for Nazareth and Uriah Heep and they can STILL pump it out.A good disc to own a copy of."
