Summary:
Extraordinary blues/rock guitarist Alvin Lee had already begun pursuing his solo career in earnest by the time he returned for the 28th and final U.S. tour of the original Ten Years After. Upon completion of the 1975 tour, TYA would split up and not return until a reunion was staged in 1989.
Although a cult fave, the band burst onto the world music scene after it appeared in the documentary film, Woodstock, one of whose highlights was the performance of "I'm Goin' Home" by Lee and the band. This show, recorded at Bill Graham's Winterland ballroom, opens with a rockin' (but incomplete) version of the band's radio hit, "Rock & Roll Music To The World." They follow it with one their classics, "Love Like A Man." Muddy Water's "Good Morning Little School Girl," is next, and leads to long and tasty slow blues.
A 20-minute version of "I Can't Keep From Crying Sometimes" is followed by a 12- minute but incomplete "I'm Going Home." After a souped-up version of Chuck Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen," Lee and the band close with two of their own hits: "Choo Choo Mama" and "Baby, Won't You Let Me Rock 'n' Roll You."
One of the biggest blues/rock acts on the planet between 1969 and 1974, Ten Years After could attribute their far reaching success to two things: Promoter Bill Graham and their appearance in the landmark music documentary Woodstock. Graham was among the earliest U.S. promoters to book the band, and he made them a staple act at both the Fillmore East and West, and of course, Winterland.
By the time this show was recorded. TYA had become primarily a vehicle for Alvin Lee's blistering guitar work, its songs comprised of equal parts rock, blues, and jazz. In 1972, the band would leave Decca Records (the label that signed them in 1967), and move to Columbia's corporate home. Columbia would take the band in a more radio friendly/pop driven direction (hence, the hit single "I'd Love To Change The World"). Frustrated with the popular music trend, Alvin Lee left the band, which disbanded soon after the second Columbia release in 1975.
The original lineup made one reunion LP and did one more tour in 1988/89 before disbanding again. In 2003, Ric Lee assembled the group again, although Alvin would not participate. He was replaced by guitarist Joe Gooch, and the band is still recording and touring today.

Bless the dude who recorded this.
Ten Years After was the real deal!

Thanks
Thank Bill Wolfgang Graham for Having the Insight to Record with Multicamera setup at Winterland...& releasing his Vault...
Just a few months after having played the 69' Woodstock Festival in upstate New York, Jimi Hendrix sat down for an interview with Cream Magazine and talked candidly about having played there. Hendrix said, "I felt like I played a good set at Woodstock considering I was playing with all new musicians almost." "I thought Carlos(Santana) & Johnny(Winter) guitars sounded strong during their sets too." "But of the 3 days worth of music that was played at Woodstock, no one outplayed Alvin Lee." "Alvin put on a guitar clinic during Ten Years After's set at Woodstock, and I really have a lot of respect for his ability and how easily he can pick up a guitar and play anything, be it rock, blues, jazz, or whatever." "They don't come any better than Alvin on a guitar." Those are the words of Jimi Hendrix himself taken from that interview with Cream Magazine published in January, 1970.
Thanks for sharing this. If you ever read this, please sent me a copy/picture of that interview. Searched the net, but cannot find it anywhere, would love to read it!
Awesome! Some of the best music/artists came out of UK.
Right on brother he should be right next to Hendricks and beck FR Stone and Guitar rankings no credibility
The rest is great to see, but I can't believe Hendrix said "Alvin put on a guitar clinic for the ages during Ten Years After's set at Woodstock" lol, sounds very modern like something a nerdy music critic trying to make their way up in the company would compose for an article.
It's a shame there weren't Ted Talks back then 🤓
Amazing. ❤😊
One of the greatest Ten Years After performances on film. Absolutely stunning. The entire band is on fire!
Give some links on other from your top pls)
the assholes of Rolling Stone rag left him off of the 100 greatest guitarists
Definitely, happily surprised; but not surprised Alvin’s still turning music lovers on to his and the bands greatness!!❤
You should have seen them perform at the "Marquee Club" 67!...my fav band back then,
Alvin Lee was the real deal. I was ten feet from him at this show. One of my first SF Winterland Shows. And it was less than 10 dollars.
Alvin Lee in my humble opinion is the greàtest guitarist there ever was! RIP!
I would tend to agree to that… I saw them five times live!
Your humble opinion is about right Alvin was the first Shredder cheers
certainly one of the most underated guitarist of ALL TITME !!!
From one who has seen them all, Alvin Lee was second to one...Frank Zappa
I agree but let’s not forget Rory too.🇬🇧
Wow! This is the first time I sat down and looked at Ten Years After. I remember them as a teenager in the 70s, but never had the opportunity to see them live or see them on video. I’m supper glad this performance was captured on video. Elvin Lee doesn’t get the credit he deserves.
Leo Lyons slays on bass.
Alvin Lee was MEZMERISING. No WaWa pedals, no wammy bars, no sustain, no special guitar effects and he ROCKED HIS ASS OFF like no other. Not just one of the best guitar players ever, but also a most excellent entertainer, ONE-OF-A-KIND MUSIC MAN and that's for DAM SURE. "Ten Years After" was a GREAT BAND, RAW SOUND, HIGH POWERED without all the FAKE COMPUTERIZED TECHNOLIGY CRAP!!!!!!!
I agree 100 percent
Yes indeed, I was at this show ,still get goosebumps every time I hear it!! Peace ✌ out my friend
The way Alvin played the guitar was amazing. In my opinion, he was one of the best guitarist of all time.
He is definitely one of the best I'm goin home at Woodstock tells it all.
Jimi who??
@@Lynjupiter1 Please you know the word "One of..." ??
@@inri2940 Alvin was a lot better at playing MUSIC. Jimi created a noise most of the time from his guitar.
Alvin Lee is definitely one of The 5 GOAT Guitarists!! Very few could cook that Gibson like he did ... R.I.P Alvin Lee.
I had never seen a bass player ever play like he does.This guy jams.
Leo Lyons

Leo could really jam huh?
You know it; fire fingers too, like Alvin.
Alvin Lee stole the show at Woodstock with 'I'm Goin Home.' He woke the entire audience up with that number, akin to the scene in 'Back to the Future' where Michael J. Fox plays the guitar like Hendrix while writhing on the stage; that left the audience speechless! The Woodstock audience had never heard anyone play the guitar like that before! Alvin Lee is definitely one of the most underrated guitar players of all time. He's definitely right up there with Jimmy Page in my book! I envy the lucky few that got to see him play live! RIP Alvin Lee
Agree! Loved when someone from audience gave them a huge watermelon; after performance Alvin put in on his shoulder and walked offstage. He said “We’re going home, by helicopter” in his cool English accent; handsome talented man, whole band was so epic.
He did. Everybody talks about the Hwy and Jimi Hendrix’s Star-Spangled Banner. But in my opinion, it was Alvin Lee, and also Canned Heat who stole the show.
Better than poser Page, for shure! More natural and thruthfull!
I was fortunate to see Ten Years After live 4 times and agreed that he is the real deal when it comes to guitar playing. There will never be another like him. RIP.
You are absolutely correct I was at this show and a few other TYA Shows in SF. Two shows I was ten feet from him standing in front. He was my favorite artist along with Joe Waish, The Games Gang.
johnny winter, rory gallagher, alvin lee and so many more
the 70s, a whole era, that of my youth with what pleasure to go we went to their concerts....
forward for rock'n'roll....
You are absolutely right. None of them have got the recognition they deserved.
The most underrated in my book. Especially for guitar player and singer him and Steve Marriot. Should be in everybody’s at least top 50. Top 10 in my book. Kinda happy they’re underrated I’d probably be tired of them like Stones,Zep,Floyd all them Europe bands. Rory Gallagher too. Another underrated that’s at least in my top 20. Happy my dad Raised me on good tunes. I’m now 40 and love schooling old folks on their favorites. RIP Alvin really wish I got to enjoy you live.
They played Southern Blues with an unmistakable rock-n-roll style. Ten Years after was one of the best bands of all time best guitarist and drummer.
I'm goin home....his falsetto was on another planet! Always my favorite song by them. Look up the def. of hard rock and there should be a pic of Ten Years after! Such a great band!
Love that attitude in his face when he plays!!
Alvin has a great Guitar Face
this wonderful black&white concert is ssooooooo COLOURFUL !!!!!!!!!!!
Alvin’s music was from the inside of him and he masters passing the guitar and voice to us and we are all fortunate for having this talent to bring joy to our lives.
Thank you Alvin. Been with you since before Woodstock.
RIP
#too soon.
This brings back memories. I saw this tour when they were on Long Island at the Commack Arena. The show totally rocked. By far one of the best guitarists around. R.I.P. Alvin (2013). You will never be forgotten.
These guys were the best. Serious skill way beyond anyone at the time.. Very underrated!
This concert should be mandatory for young people to watch and learn what rock n roll really is. Rock on Alvin!
If you want something to be mandatory for kids, you don't know anything about what rock and roll really is.

Blessings to everyone - that is all I can say.
Saw Alvin in Hawaii mid 70's...went into a 30+ minute ripping solo...blazing...no words can describe his spectacular talent. Thanks Alvin...
Awesome!
I think this is the most undervalued group. For me they are the best
one of the best bands ever
The guitar and bass attack at 10 mins give or take is sensational . Just pure rock n roll . The bass is soooooo fat yay
GREAT performance!
Alvin Lee, was a guitarist ,s , guitarist, the man played to live, and lived to play!
Yes the greatest rocker and blues guitarest ever. How did the world miss this? His soul, speed and naturalness and fluidity in my opinion are unequalled.
The world don' t miss this.
The world with good taste for great bluesrock.
And only this counts.
really 🎸
‘How did the world miss this’. What the f are you talking about?
@@toreckman8899 Who exactly are you speaking to me this way?

Pure raw talent at its best and improvizer ! Best concert I've ever seen . Alvin was in a class of his own ...
Always been one of my favorite bands! Still is. SEXY Alvin Lee you rocked my world!
In a word, EPIC!
Saw them twice in the 70's. Good stuff. Will never forget Leo Lyons during 'Good Morning Little Schoolgirl', and of course Alvin Lee. Yeah, he could play. One of those bands that kind of got overlooked. So much good music in the 70s.
Only one Alvin, truly amazing!
One of the most intense performers of all time!
Gracias totales....por ver a ten yeaars after for ever...alvin lee y cia....
A fantastic show with Ten Years After at their best, each and every one of them, brilliant guitar work from one of the best ever 💛💙
Thanks to ever posted such underrated band Alvin Lee is an amazing guitarist put right with all the greats.And that bass player is a mad man he rocks it.
This show is a true blues rock class!
No words to describe this Rockin Band,always LOVE them!
GREAT concert! alvin Lee is timeless
the unforghettable Alvin Lee and his Band!
Back in the 70"s driving down the highway, we couldn't play Rockin Roll Music To The World, loud enough. loved Alvin Lee
Alvin can walk all over that fretboad effortlessly Amazing talent.
Hello dear Friends, after so many may years I still love to listen dearest Alvin!!! He's unforgettable. Like the Stones, I watch so many concerts/clips on my desktop or phone but I am so F afraid 'cause I know there will come a final end in this world! Oh God no no no, but I know that means for all of us! I' m 70 so. I do hope there will be something like Music and Memories in our afterlife!!! Lots of love and music from Willy from beautiful AMSTERDAM😂😂❤
Hey you ik ben Niels Anderson ook uit Amsterdam en ik maak nog steeds regelmatig dubs van Alvin Lee zowel met als zonder Ten years after
@@nielsanderson4926 HeeGabber van me, Leuk, heb het net pas gelezen!
Verdamme ben al 70, alles is zo lang geleden, maar fyn dat er nog mensen zijn zoals wij, Liefs Willy uit the Bijlmer ( woonn bij de Arena, en kom uit Rotterdam) Leve Feijenoord
The best EVER band in live concerts!
this is the most incredible group of musical genius i have ever seen...
Hunky, handsome Alvin Lee with
“Big Red” 🎸. Love his guitar face; he becomes one with his guitar, an extension of his genius. Phenomenal band, so wish I’d seen them live.
A 14 anni,sono del '64,ascoltai 'adventures of a young organ' e 'i can't keep from crying'. Da allora non li ho mai più mollati!
The one that got away. Phenomenal group that never got the spotlight except for us very few that know about them.
Well, Everybody My Age (born 1949) who remembers Woodstock KNEW Alvin Lee, it was Managers, Record Companeys Etc who Undertook to Ruin his carrier. Recorded Live: I LIVED IN SAN FRANCISCO in 1975 - Winterland (San Francisco, CA)
Yes left off of Rolling Stone's greatest 100 guitarists" Fucking pathetic.
Tore it up at Woodstock ‘69, “by helicopter”.😎
Perhaps my favorite guitar slinger of all time. This is how I like my Rock'n'Roll: Loud, fast and bluesy.
I think we can all conclude Ten Years After is the coolest band of all time.
I totally agree with you John 👍👍
I do agree as well for 10 yes.after is a far 2 proficient but underestimated hard rock white blues " high octane " ace acre band, ye' know ?
Definitely one of the best Alvin Lee 🎸
That is a fact
well i would and im just discovering them,love em but theres a little matter of Grand Funk Railroad??? sorry mate my love for Mark and the boys is just tooooooo deep!! lol TYA close tho????
Alvin Lee a rock legend..... he is sorely missed....
Un gran rockera. !!!!
Totally underrated!! One of the best!
Not underrated,evry Oldschool knows him...🍻✌
I'll be back :)
Yeah saw ten years after in usher hall Edinburgh
Ten years after with Alvin Lee was greatest brittish rocknroll on that time!
“Alvin Lee and Ten Years After” truly a show to remember both musically and the art of EXPRESSION….absolutely mesmerizing……every instrument in the band clutches it’s full potential and sends it to the stars
Watching this performance has left me WET with a sprig of orgasmic tears

Ricardo's Chips California Highway Patrol//What If They Were Chasing Ghosts And Thought You Were One?
How the hell are these guys not in the R&R HOF? Alvin Lee is one or the top 5 guitarists of all time. And if anyone ever had more fun playing (excellent) bass than Leo Lyons, I've never seen em. The most underrated band. Ever.
RRHOF is a joke now, better to not be in it✌️
@@KittyGrizGriz I have actually chatted online with Leo Lyons and he doesn't seem to care...but...I do god damnit. Wish I knew how to get a big movement started.
To many Brits in there already...
@@hawklord100 😂😂😂🫵🏼😂😂 that was funny
Yup! There it is, the inevitable 'underrated' comment. 😂😂. He's good, but nowhere near the top 5. He sure can play blues rock guitar, but 5 million other guitarists, including me, play that same style too. I've been a guitarist for over 40 years and it doesn't matter if you believe me or not, but I wouldn't have any problem at playing everything he did in this video just as well as he did. Tossing in a few fast 16th or 32nd note triplet licks or arpeggios doesn't make a guitarist Hall of Fame material. Innovation does.
RIP Alvin Lee, one of the greatest musicians ever! His facial expressions are worthy as he literally becomes one with his guitar!
I saw this show was an senior in high school. Long lives English rocknrool
Man, this dude sang lead vocals and played lead guitar at the same time...what a fucking awesome talent he was!
and a harmonica too boot.
@@ronallen2603 "A Space In Time" album, had so many good songs!
Queeeee?, no se puede cantar y tocar la guitarra al mismo tiempo, será difícil?
Been diggin' Alvin Lee and TYA since '67!
Not very many can rival that guitar playing combined with that subconscious soul singing.
Saw these guys play a year or so after Woodstock. Thought they were the best individual performers I had heard. Best guitar, best bass, best drums, best organ. They were so talented.
Sweet Little Sixteen's version is simply sensational. Alvin Lee had a lot of charisma!
Live they were one of the best bands I ever had the privilege to see. Alvin Lee just had a sound that made you get up and move. A great band
Excellent concert, they don't get any better than this concert period. Love the way Alvin Lee commands that big Gibson 335 the entire concert, he's getting a wonderful tone out of it and his classic Marshall amp stacks. The closing of Going Home is a work of blues guitar art, then we get not one but three songs during one encore... now that's the real deal, the entire band has a passion for performing live in concert!
Bill Graham was the man, guess I'm fortunate he enjoyed live rock music, based on the rock bands he recruited to play at his venues he would have made one heck of a professional sports recruiter. After this, I'm going over to watch the Allman Brothers at another Bill Grahm venue, the Fillmore East to get a late-night fix of Duane Allman & Dicky Betts playing the lead guitar parts to Whipping Post off each other, that would be unheard of back in the day, now it's not even a stretch!
Yes! Alvin playing “Big Red”, he’s so awesome 😎
Their was No curfew at SF Winterland, groups played as many encores as they wanted. I was at this show, one of my first SF Winterland Shows. Bill Graham never cut anyone off if they wanted to play longer. Some groups played an extra half hour. Allman Brothers were one of those groups, along with TYA.
NO ONE plays like Alvin Lee. He simply was the best . Rock On.
THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD. R.I.P. ALVIN
What a great concert!
Was extremely fortunate to see them in November of 1970 in San Diego. Was like seeing the Woodstock show. Mind numbing and left you speechless.
What venue in san diego?
@@justinbordwell9282 I believe it was at the SD Sports Aroma 29Nov70.
We’re you there to?
@@justinbordwell9282 saw them prior at the Old Community Concourse with Eric Burton in March of 70.
@EmeraldᚠᛁᚱᛖᚺᛟᚱᛊᛖRider Indeed I was. I made it a point to see every group that came yo San Diego and LA.
To say I was concert “poor” is an understatement.
But I did see everyone, many more than once.
I saw them in Houston, maybe ‘74. I’d say he was electrifying. Completely agree, I stumbled out speechless. I believe (it was a LONG time ago) I’m Going Home was his last song. I’d never seen anything like it, and, I’ve seen a few! Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Albert King, ZZ, Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray, all great, all my faves, lol I could go on… I’m no guitarist, but his and their performance was incredible.
Alvin has been propably the biggest inspiration for my own, modest guitarplaying. I started playing in 1980 and still I know, there is no way to become as good or fast as he was! I saw him live in 1986 in my hometown Mannheim in Germany. And it wasn't his best time. Nevertheless he will ever be one of my "Lifetime Heroes".
Such a pity he died so young! One of my heroes
Was so sad hearing he passed and he shouldn't have.
Still kick ass after all these years! Like wine gets better with age!
Super!!!
The more I listen to TYA, the more I feel Leo Lyons is a greatly underrated bass player. Watching him do that hammerstroke is impressive.
Yeah, right! Once I had a thought that he's kind of a second person in the band compared to Alvin Lee... let's say without Leo Lyons TYA wouldn't be that special. The same could be said about Ric Lee and Chick Churchill though.
Leo slaps davie504
@@robostomp19Dinosaur jr`s Lou Barlow Has the same weird, outta their heaz techniquee. Though the music of TYA & Dinosaur isnt the same time, and not comparable, the Bass playin is at least as crazy as the howling whahwhah guitar infernos de James Mascis. The most creative Drums, bass guitar & guitar trinity i ever heard is Led Zeppelin´s John Paul Jones, John Bonham & Jimmy Page . Also incredible blues players, but with more different vocal styles. so, cause i still feel like an 80´s flower punk brat i prefer the straighter, powefull mood, the sound of Alvin & the TYA gives me( mostottatime- when i´m cycling through my breathing lyquid sonic room, both are wallpainting sound genius...)
Leo is like the energizer bunny that battery stays fully charged!
@@maxvaldez6987 Yeah, I wonder what a shity mess, the bass guitar has done, to be treatened like that
One of the greatest. under rated, and forgotten guitarist of all time. R.I.P Alvin Lee. You will forever live in my heart!
thank u
Looks like a great list of the classic era white blues players (except for Jimi of course). Nice of you to include Kossoff and Gallagher, probably the best British blues players. I would also add Roy Buchanan to the list, master of the slide. Someone mentioned Jeff Beck; I love Jeff Beck's work but to me he's not really a blues player (only some of his work with The Yardbirds and the first two Jeff Beck Group albums), and neither is Ritchie, they're much more than strictly blues players.
And SRV - not exactly classic era, and if we're talking 'bout 80s and 90s, you can't leave out the amazing talents of Jeff Healy. But lets' not forget the pioneers: Muddy Waters, BB King, Freddie King, Abert King, Albert Collins, and the amazing Buddy Guy, and a few others I forgot.
liar
Far from being forgotten!
Saw Alvin Lee in Stuttgart Germany in 1972 then again in 1975 in Las Vegas Nothing Compares to Alvin and I'm only 25 LOL Lee
saw then in Chicago at Soldier's Field around 1969 or so and fell in love with them!! How sad that Alvin Lee is gone...
Sooooo many great bands in the day...soooo many. Alvin played with such attitude.
It’s 2021 and Alvin is one of the greatest Rest In Peace
My first guitar hero! RIP
Okay. I've been around since 1956 and admittedly I've seen many a guitar player use his mic stand as a slide "affect" but Lee is the only guitarist I've ever seen actually play an effective and precise slide solo using his mic stand. What an under rated and under celebrated guitar player he was. Lee was not just a guitarist but was a technician.
George Penwell. Saw this show my senior year. my best guitarist ever. he broke us off !!!
I so agree with ya! He did many things, we are just able to understand afterwards now. Thanks goes to YT and people who uploads these live performances here! Whole band was back then tight, flexible and creative. I can't think much better music than this!
And he couldn't read or write music.
George Penwell : You did not remember or seen Alvin Lee in the mid - seventies , when he appeared at least a half a dozen times on Don Kirchner's Rock Concert ! Alvin Lee was invited back to play so many times , that he was basically the house band on the Rock Concert program !
Etant né en 50 , je suis de la génération fin 60' et 70'... Je ne suis ni chanteur ni joueur de quelque instrument que ce soit . j'ai un penchant pour le classique et une extraordinaire attirance pour tous ces groupes issus + ou - de la guerre du Vietnam et de Woodstock ... Parmi eux des groupes et au sein de ces groupes , des exceptions qui crèvent le "plafond" Je les ressent au fond de mes tripes...Jim Morrison , Alvin Lee.... From Paris with love...
At age 15, I have heard them first, then I started to play guitar because of them. Same style. How can you better? Thank you Alvin Lee
Real Musicians. 👍💪
Just so good, will still be watched thousands of years after.
Possibly the 4 best musicians ever in one band!
A young Jack Bruce played bass and sang lead vocals for Cream. But Leo Lyons is certainly better than anyone else.
Historic - another classic band
They should be put in the RockN Roll Hall Of Fame❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such a pleasure watching him play the songs live.
This is my Sunday Concert...really good!!!
Never realized Leo Lyons was such a beast on bass.
I´ve seen him as "HUNDRED SEVENTY SPLIT" feat. Leo Lyons & Joe Gooch in an old, small Berlin Blues/Jazz Club (Quasimodo) in Oct 2014... and I can tell you he was still a BEAST On BASS! ----- "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl"...
psytranscience you can say the same for Churchill and Ricky Lee.
Yes he is
@@gsixties absolutely right!!! Saw him 2019 in a little town near Stuttgart Germany. Unbelievable!!! So good after all this time!!
@@martinkramer9574 I had never really listened to ten years after until recently. It looks like he attacks the strings even harder than geddy lee plays. awsome playing here
Timeless memories
Probably the best live performances by any band I saw at the time. Every time I saw them they were at the top of their game!
so glad i discovered this video thanks to Rick Beato's reference to Alvin Lee. I think I may watch it every day for the rest of my life. it is pure happiness. What a tremendous band.
We were at this show-went to every time they played anywhere in the Bay Area. First time we saw them was at the Fillmore in the Fillmore District in SF. Played lead in band for Canned Heat. When Big Bear came on stage, he said-I don't know who those guys are but they should be where we are. The next weekend they were. Long time ago. Great that shows were recorded back then I remember the two cameras on the floor. Sad story is that a fire in Grahams office destroyed a lot of the videos. We would go to the Fillmore West, Winterland, Avalon Ballroom and venues all over the Bay Area to see any band lay. A buddy of mine would meet every Thursday after work and go to the Fillmore regardless of who played. Still have posters from the time. Thursdays an Sundays were the only days they handed out the large posters. Other days you would get the small handbills. Those were some fun times.
Very cool,thank you for sharing.
My first concert in at the old Denver Coliseum back in the 70's. I was blown away by this hard core rock band. Awesome. R.I.P. Alvin Lee. One of the all time best groups😢
This is yet another band that is underrated, and they are amazing!
Underrated? Not in europe.
They sold out sports arenas.
@@lesterpaul9657 But nowadays, they're sadly overlooked by the vast majority blues rock enthusiasts. I think that even back in the 70s they weren't as popular/recognisable as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and even Grand Funk Railroad! TYA were popular back in the day, but through the years they have got less and less recognisable just like Rory Gallagher or Groundhogs (both bands charted really high in early 70s.)
@@jajcasz6648 yes; I’m a rock ‘n’ roller from wayyy back and just discovered Rory 2 years ago. He’s phenomenal; totally loved his audience and gave them his all. Read he went to Belfast to perform during the “Troubles”, very cool.
Чистый восторг и восхищение!!!
I bought cricklewood green on mono! I was twelve. It certainly woke me up to music and its power. I still play it about once a month..... always lifts my spirit.
Hey i still have all my USA TYA albums-some unopened-i bought 2 one to play and one to save. Listen to TYA a lot- LOUD in my car. Have a good one Ron- Also just posted some of my TYA history
Cricklewood Green was a masterpiece. PS - I went to Colombia after high school in 1972. One night, I (stupidly!) slept on a park bench in downtown Barranquilla and when I awoke, I saw another kid my age waking up from another bench across the park. I didn't speak a lick of Spanish and he didn't speak a lick of English - but we communicated on a deeper level - through rock and roll! When he emulated Alvin Lee playing and singing, "I'm Going Home", we both knew we were kindred souls! We remained friends and co-adventurers during my 6-month stay (most of that time in and around Santa Marta). Hope you're doing well, Raphael Mejia of Bogota!
My God, I ve seen them live in Amsterdam!!! In the 70ties. Alvin was so great (and sexy). Will never forget it!
In these days I've seen almost all of the real musicians!!!
I still keep thinking about those great times. Those memories are burning in my heart and soul, will never go away. Stay faithful to our times and MUSIC! LOVE WILLY FROM AMSTERDAM
That is just plain lucky.

Rock n roll music to the world ROCKS!
