I still can’t accept Alvin left us, his guitar is Haunting me, what a giant, rip A.L. We miss you and thank you for all the beautiful music you gave us!!!
"Standing at the Station" is an underrated, undervalued, underappreciated gem. So metaphorical, not about trains in this case, but about Alvin Lee and TYA themselves. I'll never understand why they seemingly (in public perception) didn't reach the stratosphere like the 'Stones, Zep, The Who, etc. TYA is highly deserving to be discussed in the same breath.
They didn't do too bad as far as being known...Alvin said he made more money than he should have. They just weren't a 'radio friendly' band. So if your a fan you can pat yourself on the back for having such excellent musical taste!
+Todd Holman You are correct on every level. I have wondered why, as well, for years. Maybe it's because they just were not managed or promoted as well as the other biggies.......who knows? I know they had just as much heart, soul, and talent as the others, if not more! In my book they had a sound and style that is raw, heartfelt, rockin and EPIC.
I love this song. My best friend and I were stopped at a rural railroad crossing, in a blinding rainstorm, as a coal train rumbled past us at full speed. We were listening to this song. The best part was that the train finally passed by as the song ended.
Musically, this a is a great song. Talkin' to my youngest friend at work the other day. He's into rap and today's music. However, He told me he misses the guitar in music. Sad but true. This song contains a great keyboard solo and also guitar solo by the great Alvin Lee. One of my all time favorites from the 70's! Drums and bass keep your toes tappin'. Takes the concept of train tracks to a musical platform. Classic rock. Under rated... seldom heard. 5 stars
Rap and todays commercial music sucks! Show him todays great music! Introduce him to Samantha and Amanda Fish, Rosalie Cunningham, Davey Knowles, etc..So much great new music!! The corporate whoremega corps dont promote it, but classic rock is back in a huge way!!

People can say what they like, but this song is one of the greatest instrumentals of all time (yes, it has a brief injection of lyrics) the final 4 minutes are virtuoso genius.
I HAD HOPED, For many years, There would be a "Ten Years After" followed by by a "TEN YEARS LATER' followed by a " TEN YEARS AFTER LATER." THANK YOU FOR A LONG ENJOYABLE RIDE, LOVE YOU MAN, R.I.P. Captain Speedfingers R.I.P.
Many times i have found myself Standing at The Station the railroad rolls on many miles i have travelled many roads run, this song always brings on the awesomeness of feeling out there . never will there be another like it ever. Fark its great with great increasing intent takes you on thats journey every time
This song contains a fantastic second set with the solo of Alvin and the irresitible piano progression of Chick. The contamination between blues rock and jazz mood is total.
Sadly this song never received the airplay deserved. It is one great song revealing Ten Years After at their very best ! Great guitar-organ interplay. Great drumming and bass play.

They never got the credit they should of got in my opinion. R.I.P Alvin well deserved but to soon. I listen to your songs all the time. Especially I love to change the world!! That song is timeless. I blast my 200 watt and 18 speakers with my tube amps running NOS 60s 70s tube and I enjoy my own concert.. especially Woodstock..
Lyrics Well, I'm standin' at the station And the rain don't make a sound Got a Bible in my pocket Cause my plane was just shot down My mind is all confusion I believe I'm in a play Throw my Bible out the window As the train goes on it's way Gonna leave my blues behind me Gonna find another town Gonna try and find some people Who this time won't bring me down As I step out of the carriage The station looks the same As the one I left behind me Though it has another name
This was&is still avery good lp.Ten years after&Mountain did the greatest extended boogies ever @ The isle of wight rockfestivals (england).Stormy monday-Mountain,I can'y keep from crying-Ten years after.Awesome 3 album set many more groups also.
After enjoying this great clip a/v ( excellent work roster1421 !) these thoughts hit me : Where the "Town Station" = This Country, The"People" =The Politican, The Carriage = The Political Process and the Train on It's Track, with empty seats, well that would be what Wise Men once named a place United through Freedom, using the three words "WE THE PEOPLE". Peace
I have been looking for this song EVERYWHERE. My turntable busted so I can't play the LP. I couldn't find it anywhere on CD (Rockin' Roll Music to the World). Thanks so much for uploading this classic. I will be practicing now on the piano.
Let me take a moment to recommend the California State Railroad Museum, or at least a visit to their website, the exhibits are comprehensive, and immaculate.

@ Ken King Thanks for that Ken it is beautiful. It is just the way it is for me right now , I am thinking to write that down so I will always remember.

+Todd Holman You're so right. Can't agree more!
Shook the man's hand a few years ago in Llandudno he was playing with Edgar winter and Tony McPhee. Real gent sad loss
I love this song. My best friend and I were stopped at a rural railroad crossing, in a blinding rainstorm, as a coal train rumbled past us at full speed. We were listening to this song. The best part was that the train finally passed by as the song ended.
Very nice experience
A true musical moment!
R.I.P. Alvin Lee. You were always one of my guitar heroes.
A great axeman !!! RIP Alvin Lee.

R.I.P Alvin Lee, you've brought some great songs that had helped me getting over my most shaky teenager years....
OUTSTANDING super jam from 1 of the greatest,had this album in the day--RIP
if it were released today, it would have no problem getting 1,000,000 listens... way ahead of it's time.
Imo,one of the Top 10 most talented bands that ever lived.
RIP ALVIN, YOU THE MAN
This track is pure gold!!!
This song is just a masterpiece.
Seit dem ich den ersten Song von TYA gehört hatte, bin ich verwurzelt mit der Band.
Auch Alvin Lee solo begeistert
Die Musik zwischen Blues...Rock....
Psychedelic ist unerreichbar voller
Swing...Groove...Melancholie...
Romantik und Virtuosität...

Pick it Captain Quickfingers!!
A great song of it's time RIP Alvin
Thanks for the upload, you are the man! Like so many others I've also been looking for this, my favorite Ten Years After tune.
And yet another great video by Alvin Lee and company !!!
Superb, Magisterial, Masterpiece, Unrivaled (as well as all the work of TYA).
Give us a break This is "humble but intense" and I been lovin it for many decades.
A masterpiece.
What a great track 👍🇦🇺🎸
Lyrics
Well, I'm standin' at the station
And the rain don't make a sound
Got a Bible in my pocket
Cause my plane was just shot down
My mind is all confusion
I believe I'm in a play
Throw my Bible out the window
As the train goes on it's way
Gonna leave my blues behind me
Gonna find another town
Gonna try and find some people
Who this time won't bring me down
As I step out of the carriage
The station looks the same
As the one I left behind me
Though it has another name
TYA the BEST nuff said RIP ALVIN!
Most Outstanding, Roster1421! Thank you for posting. This is without parallel. It's unlikely that there are bigger TYA fans than me.
God bless you Alvin---in a class all by yourself---"goin home---RIP
Ich habe noch nie gehört dieses super Stück, mit richtig viel power. Toll!
one of the best nummers of the group
Almost like my life from year to year,the rambling on and changing, wow!!!
Saw these guys “live” several times and they were just awesome 👏 This track, this album, right up there with “Stonedhenge” .
A fitting end to my Playlist, Someday we will all hear our train a - comin. Oui?! Thank you again,roster1421
This was&is still avery good lp.Ten years after&Mountain did the greatest extended boogies ever @ The isle of wight rockfestivals (england).Stormy monday-Mountain,I can'y keep from crying-Ten years after.Awesome 3 album set many more groups also.
Súper banda! Y a Alvin Lee,un virtuoso nato no valorado, que para mí uno de los más rápido de la historia...
Thanks for your visit Alvin. We all had a grand ol' time. See you at the next stop!
♥️TYA forever in my memories and heart. RIP Sir Alvin 😿
i was a Railway employer , i love this song
Ten years after, such a brilliant band. The album Watt, just superb.
That album and Rock and Roll Music to the World are probably my 2 favorites from this band
I forgot all about this tune. Great video as well.
Thanks for commenting on the video, a lot of work for me in editing during the day.

Thank you for posting this, it brings back so many old memories. And it is fantastic!
to: roster1421: Thank you for posting this particular song, also. I have not heard it in over 40 years
Absolutely stunning!
Thank you for your comment. You were the last to remark as You Tube banned this video after 8 years of posting!!
My video of 8 years ago with 140,000 views has been removed by the copyright owner, why now, I don't know, but thanks for watching. Terry

A guitar solo that make afraided "slowhand" Clapton.
This is my favorite home made vid on here, just wish the audio didn't keep dropping out.
Brilliant, one of all time favourites from Alvin.
TYA was better than any over rated band it was good that way so not any idiot listen to these treasures that Alvin Lee left us.
R.Í.P great master
Good song. Great footage of my hometown B&O railroad which later merged into the Chessie System w/ a great TYA tune in the background. Like it.
Thanks, Mark

C'était un excellent groupe, il n'a pas eu le succès mérité.
Le problème était qu'ils étaient souvent dans cette même tonalité... Peu de variantes
