Wishbone Ash - "The King Will Come" (Live At Rockpalast 1976)

In the fire, the king will come.
Thunder rolls, piper and drum.
Evil sons, overrun,
Count their sins - judgment comes.

The checkerboard of nights and days -
Man will die, man be saved.
The sky will fall, the earth will pray,
When judgment comes to claim its day.

See the word of the prophet
On a stone in his hand.
Poison pen revelation,
Or just a sign in the sand?

The checkerboard of nights and days -
Man will die, man be saved.
The sky will fall, the earth will pray,
When judgment comes to claim its day.

See the word of the prophet
On a stone in his hand.
Poison pen revelation,
Or just a sign in the sand?


Wishbone Ash - 'Live At Rockpalast 1976'
"The King Will Come": ένα από τα ωραιότερα επικολυρικά τραγούδια της δεκαετίας του εβδομήντα. Μέρος του θρυλικού δίσκου "Argus" της ιδιαίτερης και ξεχωριστής μπάντας Wishbone Ash. Η Βρετανική μπάντα εμφανίστηκε το 1976 στην Γερμανική τηλεοπτική εκπομπή Rockpalast. Η εμφάνισή της ηχογραφήθηκε - βιντεοσκοπήθηκε και θα κυκλοφορήσει 43 χρόνια μετά! "Live At Rockpalast 1976" ο τίτλος, η 13η Σεπτεμβρίου η ημερομηνία κυκλοφορίας...

Δελτίο τύπου: «This Wishbone Ash Rockpalast show from 1976 captures the band at their prime, offering a blistering live performance. The live at Rockpalast show presented here was recorded at Sporthalle, Cologne, Germany on 1st December 1976 when the band still included the core original line-up of Andy Powell on guitar and vocals, Martin Turner on bass and vocals, Steve Upton on drums and Laurie Wisefield on guitar and vocals.

It captures the band at their prime, offering a blistering live performance for over an hour and a half. They look young, lean and hungry and generate an onstage charismatic cool that as well as weirdly predating their punk/new wave detractors also displays the theatrical playfulness of a band who instinctively know they're on form.

Andy Powell exudes a cocky confidence hidden behind sunglasses, wielding his trademark Gibson Flying V, resplendent in dark waistcoat with shirt sleeves rolled up ready for the job, while lead vocalist and bassist Martin Turner displays a flamboyance in delivery and his striped shirted and nautical look, neckerchief, single earring and bare feet all add to the effect.

Featuring a set made up of four tracks from their breakthrough album Argus, and a selection of back catalog favorites, and opting for only one track, 'It Started In Heaven', from their then forthcoming album of March 1976, Locked In, it's obvious from the audience's cheer that greets the opening riff to 'The King Will Come' from Argus that they are performing to Wishbone Ash devotees, and testament to the staying power and popularity on the continent of their breakthrough album.»
