Live Dates 2 is the second live album by rock band Wishbone Ash. It remains a sought-after collector's item.[citation needed] The album was recorded partly on dates between 1976 and 1980, including the tour in support of the album Just Testing.[1] It peaked at No. 40 in the UK Albums Chart.[2]
The first 25,000 copies of this album were a double album, with six extra bonus tracks. Subsequent copies of the album contained only tracks 1 to 6. The sleeve only lists the tracks on the first album along with their recording locations:

The tracks on side 1 were recorded in 1980 and those on side 2 in 1978. Dates for the bonus LP are not listed.
