Recorded live at the Capitol Theater on January 19, 1974, this set captures Wishbone Ash in peak form, performing standout tracks like “The King Will Come,” “Warrior,” and a full 22-minute version of “Phoenix.” Available for the first time on vinyl, it’s a powerful document of the band’s early lineup and their signature twin-guitar sound in a full concert setting.

Wishbone Ash are noted for their extensive use of harmony twin lead guitars, which had been attracting electric blues bands since Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page had played together in the Yardbirds in 1966. Their contributions helped Andy Powell and Ted Turner to be voted "Two of the Ten Most Important Guitarists in Rock History" (Traffic magazine 1989). Melody Maker (1972) described Powell and Turner as "the most interesting two-guitar team since the days when Beck and Page graced The Yardbirds". Wishbone Ash formed when Martin Turner and Steve Upton set up auditions for a guitarist and subsequently ended up with two guitarists because they could not decide between the two. So as a result, guitarists/vocalists Andy Powell and Ted Turner completed the original Wishbone Ash line-up.
