Nice look at the inlays at about 1:35.
Cool song! I never listened to them before. Great Rick tone too - no over-the-top twang.

Dig those hippies man...
Ric basses, flying V's and the tartan trousers (pants) as well.
Now, about those lyrics....

The first (self titled) record is one of my all time faves!

It looks like the switch is in the middle position but the sound is like the neck toaster solo'ed, right? I guess he rolled off the treble pickup's volume.

Cool song! It was posted on here about a year ago, IIRC. I either forgot or didn't notice the 21 fretter last time!
I don't know about anyone else, but I would have a hard time playing that line and singing like that at the same time.
Anyone know the bass player name?

That is apparently the original bassist, Martin Turner.

Don't expect to see Martin Turner playing, he left Wishbone Ash after being demoted to bass playing duties only (i.e. no vocals). He is now touring with 'Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash' a completely different band.Very Cool..
Were going to Rosfest to see Circa:
Wishbone is in the Show!!!!

Ah the sweet sound of flats! Funny to see the drummer up front, though. Reminds me of my favourite joke:
Q. What do you call a guy who hangs out with musicians?
A. A drummer.
(Now, now any drummers reading this, it's just a joke!... and that guy is actually pretty darned good)
