Wishbone Ash will perform their landmark album, “Argus” (1972), in its entirety. The band's third release, “Argus” is interwoven with medieval and spiritual imagery, featuring such classics as “The King Will Come,” “Throw Down the Sword” and “Blowin' Free” – all three are still staples of Wishbone Ash's regular concerts. It is on “Argus” that guitarists Andy Powell and Ted Turner perfected their melodic twin-lead style, which later influenced such bands as Thin Lizzy and Iron Maiden. By all standards, Argus was an extraordinary achievement. In his memoir, “Eyes Wide Open,” Powell says, “In retrospect, nothing else we did would be quite so significant. … It turned out to be an album of powerfully if loosely connected themes: time passing, aspiration, conflict, good and evil." The album's iconic cover design is one of Hipgnosis' legendary works - a sentry surveying a misty landscape - encapsulating the title of the album, which was taken from Greek mythology's one-eyed watcher. “There was this wonderful cinematic imagery of 'The Warrior' on the cover, the artwork bringing a visual dimension to the music within” Released in April 1972, “Argus” reached No. 3 in the UK charts and was named “Best Album” in the Melody Maker's annual poll, selling more than two million copies worldwide.
