I was lucky to be playing piano and organ on this track and also in the studio when George laid down the slide. Alvin was my friend for over 50 years and we loved playing music together. I played on many of his records and co wrote a lot of songs with him. As many have said eat yer heart out Eric😉 Tim Hinkley
My dad took me too see him in MODESTO CALIF. I WAS 16 ,BACK IN 1974. I love too change the world was the song he sang. My first concert. (I JUST LOVE HIM!!!)THANK-YOU✌😛💖
Is that a joke??? He slides for like 25 seconds on 3 cords. Hell check out Ten Years After, Help Me...Alvin Lee rips 7 cord slide using his friggin harmonica for God's sake.
@@david1044 you have to relax. Harrison was never known for his shredding, yes? On the contrary, he was a quite good slide guitarist with a lot of feel. The fact that Alvin Lee invited him to play this solo must tell you something, unless you think that lee was a simpleton to do it.
Found this when seeking consultation after my two sons left to live their own lives. Just expressed how I felt at that time trying to fill the void and silence. A chair is just a chair. When no one's sitting there.🤔
Could I have said it any better? Absolutely not. This music is the binding tie that unites us as brothers and sisters. The universal peacemaker. Amor y Paz. Rock till you drop!!!!
This isn't really even a blues tune- it's a power ballad. Only someone who's never listened to Wolf or Muddy or Buddy Guy or Robert Johnson, or Son House or Little Walter or BB or Elmore James would say something this dumb. This is a great song with wonderful performances, but claiming a white guy from England wrote and performed a better blues song than the guys I mentioned is just ridiculous.
These kids today have no idea the era of true blues and rockin roll us baby boomers grew up with. Dying breed of artist this world will never see again. AI will change it. I was so sad when Alvin Lee perished from this screwed up world. I lived in the best of times and we enjoyed the greatest musicians and music. I'd love to change the world! But I don't know what to do! RIP ALVIN LEE! 😉🙏🙏🕊✌✌
Alvin Lee and Ten Years After are vastly underrated. Alvin belongs in the top 10 guitarists of all time and Ten Years After belongs in the top ten bands of all time.
I hope you all have heard this song before. And it's new to me and I'm 64years old and my father who did not care for rock music Would have been sooooo into this song and I wish I could have been able to let him here and enjoy this song 😢 because I don't have my father anymore 😢 But I'm happy to hear this song and I will never forget the first time I heard those blues.
@WildBill-ur6jp This is an epic blues number. I've been a fan of Alvin Lee, and Ten Years After since 1970 when I bought their LP "Sssh." Alvin is a very underrated guitarist. I like to think he was "shredding" before it was a thing.
My favorite Beatle. For my Father/Daughter dance at my daughters wedding, she picked Here Comes the Sun, it reminds her of happier times! @@maxperry1635
I saw Alvin Lee and Ten Years After as a young man in San Francisco....I was left in awe and knew immediately that he was a cut above and something rare and special. Today I'm left to question why he together with Ten Years After are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.....especially when you consider some who occupy places of prominence there.....this is the man who stole Woodstock among other things.....it boggles my mind that he continues to occupy the hearts of so many, but is unrecognized by his peers.
Can't be anymore new music. With only 12 notes all the combinations of said notes are owned by somebody. So any new music is already owned by someone else or maybe many people. Only way to have new music is to invent new notes
Yes, I agree. I was lucky to see so many great bands at the Fillmore East and Madison S. Garden back in the day. Problem was, we were young and thought that it would never end! Great times they were.
I was fortunate enough to see Alvin Lee play in a small club in Brooklyn, NY, in the 80s. Does anyone remember the club Lamores . I saw many a great bands there. RIP Alvin and George.

Me neither. Alvin Lee to me was always a great player who could shred unbelievably ala Goin' Home.A beautiful song and beautiful solo by Harrison. Alvin's solo is a melodic masterpiece and completely different from what I'd come to expect from him having listened to him over the years. I was shocked when I first heard it.
I always loved this song but assumed Alvin played the slide solo. Great to learn it was Harrison. Alvin was amazing and sadly so under appreciated. Definitely in the pantheon of blues and rock guitarists.
Just epic. Its 52 years on now since he blew Woodstock away with I'm Going Home which I will never forget. His playing still makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck today. RIP Alvin Lee.
I am 74 next January. I was at the Isle of Wight in 1970. Nobody can have the memories today like I have. 5 days of TYA, The WHO, Hendrix, Doors etc..............
@@keithdonnellan5564 : Im also 74 this August 2022, I was in Hyde Park for the Stones and Blind Faith Concerts in 69, tripping on Acid at both as we did some of that way back when. Left the UK in 1970 and never lived there again... thankfully...
Let's not forget Leo Lyons thumbing that bass...)) I wonder if Alvin had ever used an SG as that neck is a bit faster than an ES335. Botched operation took Alvin to heaven, but a little too soon. Same can be said of the always dapper Charlie Watts.
Man.... George layin down some sweet blues slide. Great song with great players makes for great music. Thanks to all involved, but especially Alvin and George.
I was just saying the other day that George Harrison was a great guitar player and my buddy said he didn't think he was. Gotta have him listen to this. Alvin Lee played some great live shows and yes made great records.
Is there a more prefect blues tune? Blues guitar, slide guitar and pitch-perfect blues vocals. Pure blues perfection! Thank God He blessed us all with Alvin Lee! Lee's music will live forever in the hearts of rock and blues fans.
One of the high points of my life was sitting on the side of the stage with Alvin when he played here in Baltimore on September 30, 1972. I was working for the promoter and had a backstage pass. J Geils band was the opening act. So I decided to go up to the side stage to sit there and watch them perform and while I was sitting there waiting for them to start Alvin came up and sat down next to me. We started a conversation which continued off and on through the opening act. It was like sitting there and talking with your best friend and just enjoying the music together. I remember he was very impressed with J Geils. When Alvin took the stage he blew everyone away!
We saw them 2 nights outta 3 standing in front of him at the House of Blues in Chicago in 1997-- Spoke with him in the lounge before one of the shows-- Always one of my favorite guitar players!!!!! We saw them in the early 70s in the Amphitheatre a couple of times too
Ten Years After, Savoy Brown, (the first) Fleetwood Mac, etc....all the bands I grew up with. So glad I was able to enjoy the best years of Rock blues. So many memories.
Incredible, totally awesome, the very essence of soul, brilliance, sensitivity, greatness. Alvin Lee was as great as any guitarist in any genre. I miss him, but will never forget him. RIP, Alvin. bluest blues indeed.. Selah.
Lpmgato1 Alvin was the best guitarist at Woodstock that weekend. He wouldn't compromise his music and become a sell out so Ten Years After never gained the accolades they deserved.
I totally agree, I have been listening to Ten Years After and Alvin Lee since I joined Columbia Music Club in the late 1960’s! It was the only way I could afford a turntable! He is/was fantastic!
Listened to this in the "Nordpol" in Lutjenburg, DB, in '69, and it was a hit for us blues fans then. I hear it today and it still is, this being '19. What is this crap called rap?
My friend's told me that Alvin Lee was at Woodstock and even though Jimi Hendrix was there that it was that young Mr Alvin Lee that made the crowd at Woodstock go crazy and he was the best thing ever and I think he still has the best 😊 stage presence personality on stage of any performance that I've ever seen and then you could find Randy Hansen into the 1980s tell present-day kicking some ass on stage with his guitar 🎸 and I saw Randy Hansen play the Fairfield California bowling alley and a week later the Dead Kennedys on in San Francisco. And when I 🤔 think about it I have been sooooo Lucky and grateful for the rest of my life for the past few years because if I look back in that time of my life 🧬 I would not believe that anyone else could have been sooooo blessed to witness those things😂❤ and now that I'm older and living with a lot of pain and 😊 from generative bone disease I can put on music like this and the pain is not so bad and for another few minutes I feel like I'm only top of the world and that I'm 20years young and my father and mother are both alive in my heart and I will live forever 😅 thank you all soooo much for keeping the music alive and allowing me 🙏 to amazed at your awesome collection of songs that keep me alive with feeling like I can make it One more day 🎉🎉😢 and may God bless you all.
George è come un grande fiume da cui si diramano infiniti corsi d'acqua...Più leggo,conosco, ascolto di lui ,piu scopro cose meravigliose come questa..Tante preziose collaborazioni, una miniera di esperienze,uno sconfinato talento...e tutto senza fare tanto rumore.Grazie per tutto al dolce george, chi lo segue e lo ama è oggi più ricco
Hands down, the finest blues song ever..in my opinion. Alvin and the gang at their most soulful. This masterpiece never fails to make me tear up. I'm 67 years old and listened to 10 Years After on and off since the Woodstock movie, however I only recently discovered this track. Maybe that's a good thing cuz it renewed my interest in Alvin's work.
I have listened to Alvin Lee for as long as he's put out music. This song is daily play lately, my wife passed end of March. The bluest Blues without her. His guitar skills are vastly under rated. I can lose myself while he's playing. I can't ask for more. Thanks for posting
@@sandydority2532 I appreciate your taking the time to express sympathy to someone you'll likely never meet. I've used music to help get through the death of my wife, which followed the death of our daughter and my father all within the space of 15 months. Music was an essential part of our marriage, helping to bring us together and create many important memories to share. Karen, my wife's name but nothing like the stereotype that name has acquired, was a trained contralto voice and a conductor as well. My complete lack of musical talent gave me a sense of awe towards her beautiful vocal skills. For all of the performances she was involved in, I only possess one recording of her singing as a soloist. But that song sung in classical German evokes tears of joy and loss every time I play it. It's a perfect match to her vocal range, and allows her natural talent and love for music to be given it's best possible expression. Obviously I'm not neutral in my review of signing, but I will always take some pride in being her partner in life. Thanks for giving me an opportunity to put down in words what we shared in life and what I've lost when she passed away. If this attempt at writing a comment in reply to you is successful, it will be the fourth time I've tried to put into words how our time together made me a better person. I've been using the comment sections as a kind of personal therapy. Telling others about the grief I feel and the constant fog daily life has become, has kept me from bottling everything inside. Being able to vent has probably stopped me from spiraling down and out. So I thank you and so many others for reminding me that life can still have moments of beauty and hope even though I've lost those who gave it meaning and purpose. When you take the time to express sympathy because you can understand what it might feel like to be in their shoes, it helps to remind me that my life isn't over because of what I've lost. The world is still full of beauty and good people if I can keep going. What I've lived through is preparation for what comes next. Thanks again, hope your day goes well. Also wanted to mention that I love the font you used in your comment. Could you tell me where you found it? Peace
Wow. Just heard this for the first time. What an amazing piece of music. The guitar tone is 11/10 and the notes are sublime. Wish I'd followed Alvin through his career. I feel that I've missed out. And that everyone else has too.
Heard them in Nuremberg Germany. My unit had been sent from Vietnam to the Rhineland. Hallelujah. Great beer and a wonderful experience to hear Ten Years After.
I love guitar playing like this, where every note, every pick, every hammer, every slide is speaking to the song and expressing an emotional truth that grabs you by the heart! Thank you George & Alvin
Alvin Lee...my only inspiration for 55 years and absolute guitar hero. I'm very sad that I never got to see him perform live. This track is beautifully composed and will touch anyone's heart. Thanks Oleg for posting. Wonderful keyboard contribution.
Wow, first time I hear that one....always like Alvin «I'd like to change the world but I don't know what to do so I 'll leave it up to you»...Great Blues and great slide by Harrison.
I often talk about slow guitar, which in many ways is just as difficult to play properly as speed guitar. This track shows that perfectly. Two awesome, but completely different solos. RIP to two sorely missed geniuses.
Thank you so very much Mr. Alvin Lee, and Mr. George Harrison, for such a beautifully produced song. I believe that after 62 years of life, this is by far my favorite song. Peace to you both and yours always.
An absolute rock music fanatic my whole life, I've absolutely loved to death many tracks and never thought I would see a song beat any of them. Started listening to this one last year and this is the greatest. The guitar solos are truly unbelievable. Tears in my eyes every time I listen
Alvin is probably the most underappreciated blues guitarist. He was amazingly talented and his lyrics either lift you up to heaven, make you reflective or fill you with joy. He and Gary Moore leave you breathless with their talent and their ability. A great loss to us all.
very true,how can a great guitar player like Alvin lee,who never use another guitar ,but then uses George to play slide ,and like eric Clapton using duane allman to play slide on his best ever song Layla,the 2 best slide guitars players ever
I was lucky to be playing piano and organ on this track and also in the studio when George laid down the slide. Alvin was my friend for over 50 years and we loved playing music together. I played on many of his records and co wrote a lot of songs with him. As many have said eat yer heart out Eric😉 Tim Hinkley
Brilliant job! Thank you for the comment, Tim. Long creative years to you!

Lpmgato1 Alvin was the best guitarist at Woodstock that weekend. He wouldn't compromise his music and become a sell out so Ten Years After never gained the accolades they deserved.
this is very Cool.. George on Slide!!! ;),,,
Just found this beautiful piece, lucky me.
I just found it as well! I am lucky as well! 👍❤️
Indeed, thank you Yt random recommended.
Alvin Lee never got his due. A true true artist
Yes he certainly blew Woodstock away with the song I'm going home
I totally agree, I have been listening to Ten Years After and Alvin Lee since I joined Columbia Music Club in the late 1960’s! It was the only way I could afford a turntable! He is/was fantastic!
My dad showed me this song when I was just a kid, now I’m 45 and keep listening to this song from time to time, one of my favorites.
Alvin Lee Fantastic
one of the most underrated pieces of music
Listened to this in the "Nordpol" in Lutjenburg, DB, in '69, and it was a hit for us blues fans then. I hear it today and it still is, this being '19. What is this crap called rap?
c'mon.. one of the highly respected white bluesman...wht r u saying about..
Incredible! Especially the last couple minutes. What a wonderful thing to stumble onto.
not to me
I get it now , I'am 67 and got it when I was 16, love his blues and his rock. Coming Home how could you forget.
Just beautiful!!! Brought tears.....hearing George's slide guitar solo. The singing....everything about this song is just perfect!!!!
My friend's told me that Alvin Lee was at Woodstock and even though Jimi Hendrix was there that it was that young Mr Alvin Lee that made the crowd at Woodstock go crazy and he was the best thing ever and I think he still has the best 😊 stage presence personality on stage of any performance that I've ever seen and then you could find Randy Hansen into the 1980s tell present-day kicking some ass on stage with his guitar 🎸 and I saw Randy Hansen play the Fairfield California bowling alley and a week later the Dead Kennedys on in San Francisco. And when I 🤔 think about it I have been sooooo Lucky and grateful for the rest of my life for the past few years because if I look back in that time of my life 🧬 I would not believe that anyone else could have been sooooo blessed to witness those things😂❤ and now that I'm older and living with a lot of pain and 😊 from generative bone disease I can put on music like this and the pain is not so bad and for another few minutes I feel like I'm only top of the world and that I'm 20years young and my father and mother are both alive in my heart and I will live forever 😅 thank you all soooo much for keeping the music alive and allowing me 🙏 to amazed at your awesome collection of songs that keep me alive with feeling like I can make it One more day 🎉🎉😢 and may God bless you all.
George è come un grande fiume da cui si diramano infiniti corsi d'acqua...Più leggo,conosco, ascolto di lui ,piu scopro cose meravigliose come questa..Tante preziose collaborazioni, una miniera di esperienze,uno sconfinato talento...e tutto senza fare tanto rumore.Grazie per tutto al dolce george, chi lo segue e lo ama è oggi più ricco
Sentire questa musica ti fa venire i brividi . Bravo Alvin
I remember the first time I heard this song I thought how could something so beautiful be so sad. I was floored.
Just absolutely INSANE guitar playing and incredible singing! It just penetrates the soul of me.
Astonishing music by virtuosos. Lay your soul out bare
One of the most complete examples of a blues song I've ever heard.
Beginning to End.
I totally agree ..
Thomas Owens indeed
Yessss
Hands down, the finest blues song ever..in my opinion. Alvin and the gang at their most soulful. This masterpiece never fails to make me tear up. I'm 67 years old and listened to 10 Years After on and off since the Woodstock movie, however I only recently discovered this track. Maybe that's a good thing cuz it renewed my interest in Alvin's work.
I have listened to Alvin Lee for as long as he's put out music. This song is daily play lately, my wife passed end of March. The bluest Blues without her. His guitar skills are vastly under rated. I can lose myself while he's playing. I can't ask for more. Thanks for posting
I have not heard anyone come close to playing guitar . It moves you deeply. some will cry.
Sorry for your loss.

@@sandydority2532 I appreciate your taking the time to express sympathy to someone you'll likely never meet. I've used music to help get through the death of my wife, which followed the death of our daughter and my father all within the space of 15 months. Music was an essential part of our marriage, helping to bring us together and create many important memories to share. Karen, my wife's name but nothing like the stereotype that name has acquired, was a trained contralto voice and a conductor as well. My complete lack of musical talent gave me a sense of awe towards her beautiful vocal skills. For all of the performances she was involved in, I only possess one recording of her singing as a soloist. But that song sung in classical German evokes tears of joy and loss every time I play it. It's a perfect match to her vocal range, and allows her natural talent and love for music to be given it's best possible expression. Obviously I'm not neutral in my review of signing, but I will always take some pride in being her partner in life.
Thanks for giving me an opportunity to put down in words what we shared in life and what I've lost when she passed away. If this attempt at writing a comment in reply to you is successful, it will be the fourth time I've tried to put into words how our time together made me a better person. I've been using the comment sections as a kind of personal therapy. Telling others about the grief I feel and the constant fog daily life has become, has kept me from bottling everything inside. Being able to vent has probably stopped me from spiraling down and out. So I thank you and so many others for reminding me that life can still have moments of beauty and hope even though I've lost those who gave it meaning and purpose. When you take the time to express sympathy because you can understand what it might feel like to be in their shoes, it helps to remind me that my life isn't over because of what I've lost. The world is still full of beauty and good people if I can keep going. What I've lived through is preparation for what comes next. Thanks again, hope your day goes well. Also wanted to mention that I love the font you used in your comment. Could you tell me where you found it? Peace

This is it. This is the blues at it's best.
Hence “The Bluest Blues”
From "I'm Going Home" at Woodstock to "The Bluest Blues"...just amazing music from Alvin Lee.
Nuff said.
amen bro
Yep... "fastest guitar in the west"... AMAZING talent, gone... Has to be in Rock Hall of Fame... SOON !
I get such a pain in my stomach about Woodstock. THEY WERE RIGHT!! DAMN IT, THEY WERE ALL RIGHT.
Incredible...His guitar is crying....for me one of the best,the legend...Alvin,R.I.P.
Božidar Mijač 💚
Alvin talking to us through tears of...,..🎶🎸
It is crying!
Two of the Greatest Two of the Best, Thank You
OMG. This track gives me the shivers. Alvin really nails it. And George is pluperfect. Can't stop listening to it.
Man,Alvin put his heart and soul into this song
that's what it sounds like when a guitar cries.
@@garyclark9185 HE SURE COULD SQUSE THOESE STRINGS....
Wow. Just heard this for the first time. What an amazing piece of music. The guitar tone is 11/10 and the notes are sublime. Wish I'd followed Alvin through his career. I feel that I've missed out. And that everyone else has too.
Never heard of him Now i will never forget him....awesome....
really the same !!!!
I tell ya, you missed a really great one..........
Heard them in Nuremberg Germany. My unit had been sent from Vietnam to the Rhineland. Hallelujah. Great beer and a wonderful experience to hear Ten Years After.
Glad you have finally had a rock education.
Ggpu
I love guitar playing like this, where every note, every pick, every hammer, every slide is speaking to the song and expressing an emotional truth that grabs you by the heart!
Thank you George & Alvin
I am 57yo and this is the best most beautiful blues melodies ever heard!
Alvin Lee...my only inspiration for 55 years and absolute guitar hero. I'm very sad that I never got to see him perform live. This track is beautifully composed and will touch anyone's heart. Thanks Oleg for posting. Wonderful keyboard contribution.
Totally agree keyboards are superb too
Loved it then, love it now.
George Harrison's slide guitar made me cry.
Wow, first time I hear that one....always like Alvin «I'd like to change the world but I don't know what to do so I 'll leave it up to you»...Great Blues and great slide by Harrison.
I often talk about slow guitar, which in many ways is just as difficult to play properly as speed guitar. This track shows that perfectly. Two awesome, but completely different solos. RIP to two sorely missed geniuses.
Thank you so very much Mr. Alvin Lee, and Mr. George Harrison, for such a beautifully produced song. I believe that after 62 years of life, this is by far my favorite song. Peace to you both and yours always.
An absolute rock music fanatic my whole life, I've absolutely loved to death many tracks and never thought I would see a song beat any of them. Started listening to this one last year and this is the greatest. The guitar solos are truly unbelievable. Tears in my eyes every time I listen
I turn 60 on the 15th of this month, and I just heard this song! It's by far; ""THE BEST BLUE'S SONG EVER!!""
This is a Great Song and Alvin was A Awesome Person and a Fantastic Musician and This was Just One of His Awesome Songs
This year marks 50 years, was the last time I got to see TEN YEARS AFTER. ALWAYS IN MY HEART!
Two great masters, and humble Heart. God bess both of them!
Such a heart opener.
How to climb up and out of the metaphoric grave and into the grace of meaning.
Sadness, is not the end, its just a new beginning.
Alvin Lee and Gary Moore....both so missed
Simon Greening and Snowy White and Chris Rea
Simon Greening AMEN!
Gary Moore Died of What ?
And Rory imho.
Simon Greening and you can add Rory Gallagher in there
I've always thought Alvin Lee and Gary Moore were the most under appreciated guitarists in rock history. Such incredible talent!
and Roy Buccanhan
@@kozykid And Rory.
you take the words out of my mouth, im 67 and reach to those 2 guys all the time, especially these days when you need to escape for awhile!!
And Santana and Dicky Betts
Gary Moore under appreciated ???? He has legions of fans. Alvin Lee, certainly. He was the shit.
Alvin is probably the most underappreciated blues guitarist. He was amazingly talented and his lyrics either lift you up to heaven, make you reflective or fill you with joy. He and Gary Moore leave you breathless with their talent and their ability. A great loss to us all.
@honestmark102 you an Alvin fan?
@honestmark102 Britain
@honestmark102 am good thanks, you? Its been a glorious day, listening to Alvin, yet again!
Beautiful, I love this! George Harrison's slide guitar makes me weep. And Alvin Lee's solo gives me goosebumps. ☮ ♥ ♫
Beautiful slide solo by George H.
Outstanding playing from George
One of the most beautiful songs ever
Alvin Lee, one of the greatests.
Alvin Lee - mistrz nie tylko rocka, ale także bluesa
I've known 10 years after for a very long time but this video touched me till my d... long live rock n roll!!!
George Harrison played slide guitar on this song, another under rated guitarist.
George mi manchi tantissimo!,,
George also played slide on alvins song real life blues,george was one of the greatest slide guitar players
very true,how can a great guitar player like Alvin lee,who never use another guitar ,but then uses George to play slide ,and like eric Clapton using duane allman to play slide on his best ever song Layla,the 2 best slide guitars players ever
Underrated as a slide guitarist
@@keven11224 I think they just liked collaborating with each other.
