"This is a truly great "live" Wishbone Ash cd. The sound quality and the vocals are perfect and of course, the guitars sing beautifully. The sound quality rivals the best live cd's I have ever heard, great mix and very clear. The performance isn't quite as raucous as some of the older live performances, but it's very tight, professional and has plenty of passion. Just get it and you will love it."

Andy Powell + 3 = Wishbone Ash

"I almost didn't buy Live in Geneva as I only recognized founding member Andy Powell and was stuck on only wanting the original line-up from the 70s. What I've discovered over the last few years is that Wishbone Ash is always evolving in its personnel. The performances are clear, crisp, exciting, beautifully sung and tight.



A great complement to Live in Geneva is Live in Chicago which also has second guitarist Ted Turner from the original group recorded 3 years earlier. The performances are well played, the singing not as tight but still deserving 5 stars though."

The essence of Wishbone Ash captured...

"No one can dispute the technical prowess of Wishbone Ash. Accomplished musicians, good songs, good arrangements... all of that going for them, and they still tended to come up short in the studio when it came to serious passion driving their music. What their live albums proved over and over again was that Wishbone Ash were in their element when they had an audience to appreciate their work. Live in Geneva is a shining monument to that fact, and a great live album by any standard. Although it was recorded in 1997, its focus is on the earlier, stronger material. They play all of it with typical precision but with excitement that virtually flies out of the speakers. The recording quality is superb, enhancing the listening experience even further. If you're fortunate enough to find a copy of this, consider it not only a great live performance, but a distilled compilation that outdoes just about any studio equivalent."
