Archived Set Lists

Listed below are known set lists through the years for both Wishbone Ash (during the Martin Turner years) and also Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash.

This list should be considered a "work in progress" and does not profess to be "complete". We would be grateful to hear from anyone who has set lists for tours (WA 1969-80, 1988-91, 1995-6 and MTWA 2005-present) which are not yet documented below, especially the early years of WA.

Where a set list varies throughout a particular tour (ie. songs being rotated in and out of the set from show to show, or the running order being reshuffled), the set list given will be an "overview" of the entire tour and, as such, may differ from a show you recall attending.
