Live Dates is the first live album by legendary rock band Wishbone Ash. It was a critical and commercial success and is widely considered one of the greatest live albums of all time.^{[citation needed]}

The band's trademark twin-lead guitar harmonies clash with progressive rock, folk, heavy metal, and jam band improvisation to create one of the best selling live albums of the 1970s. Unfortunately, founding member Ted Turner would leave the band shortly after this album was recorded, resulting in a radical shift in future musical approach for Wishbone Ash.
