This album, together with the previously-released New Live Dates Volume 1, represents the set list played by Martin Turner's band (at the time called Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash) in their early days following the band's formation in 2005. It includes a guest appearance by original Wishbone Ash guitarist Ted Turner, who on this disc plays guitar and lead vocals on two songs. The first is a song which he wrote, Why Don't We, and the ten minute version here is a real tour-de-force. The other song featuring Ted is the crowd-pleasing encore number "Jailbait."

The selection of songs on the album represents a good spread of material from the Wishbone Ash back catalogue (or at least the times when Martin Turner was in the band), and for me the most appealing tracks are the live rarities, including Diamond Jack and Say Goodbye. The latter is one of the band's most underated songs, having the misfortune of being the final track on the awful "Locked In" album. Being freed from the rest of that album here, it has had new life breathed into it. Keith Buck's guitar solo is a highlight.

Martin Turner and his band have managed to recreate the original sound of the classic Wishbone Ash era and put together a fine pair of live albums in New Live Dates 1 and 2.
