I totally agree🎸 RIP Alvin Lee! His Woodstock performance of Going Home is a fantastic performance of his band & his solo+ vocals! Too Damn Mean For ever🎸
@herbertvonzinderneuf8547 I don't, for sure. And evidently you don't either. But many people are unfamiliar with Alvin Lee and Ten Years After. When I talk to someone about music and they tell me that they have never heard of TYA, I immediately know that they aren't very knowledgeable about Blues Rock!
The late, extremely great Alvin Lee! The man who played faster than his shadow. There's a reason that Alvin Lee for years sported the two nicknames "Captain Speedfingers" and "Fastest Guitar In The West."
I got to see him around '90. It was a small club in Baltimore. He brought it 100%. Getting to see Alvin in an intimate setting was an amazing previlage for me. I'm pretty sure I smiled through every moment of his show. Great guitar tone from his trademark 335 into his Marshall stacks. Awesome!
Saw him two times at The Stone on Broadway in S.F. Maybe 600 people . A guy who played a long career in stadiums . And comes out to just play , for had to be way lower dollars .And kicked the shit out of things.
Was that HammerJacks? if so, I thought it was in 89 and they opened up with Rock n Roll Music to the World. That was the best TYA show I ever saw. They sounded just like the Recorded Live record in 72 that night.
@@dickgoesinya9419 No, it was actually an intimate setting which was awesome. Stage was only about a foot high (low ceiling) that was just a few doors down from a club I was bartending at in Fell's Point. I'd recognize the name if I heard it (on the tip of my tongue). It was on the corner of S. Broadway and Aliceana . I'm sure it's long gone, but it was sure great. Great time in my life. I really enjoyed Baltimore. They had a great music scene and I was in the thick of it. I loved Hammerjacks and saw some great shows there. Probably my favorite, was one that caught me off guard at how strongly they rocked - The Smithereens. Epic live show! My respect for them went off the charts after that one show.
Ten Years After - recorded live is an AWESOME album. Definitely a top ten in my album collection. Alvin Lee was one of the best guitarists 🎸 ever. R.I.P.
I saw Ten Years After in about 1973. They blew the roof off the Memorial Coliseum in Portland. By the way, Bassist Leo Lyons now has a UA-cam channel. It's free and if you're like me and still living in the 70s you'll love it.
Went to see Alvin at Toad's Place in New Haven, CT at some point in the 90's. Not only was it a great show, but I got to meet him because he was standing in the middle of the crowd right next to me watching the opening band.
Always loved 😍 that cherry red Gibson of his. Alvin's one of my influences. This month l finally got my cherry 335 gibson. If l could only play it like Mr. LEE!😁
Seen him at the T party club in Boston 1970 oh 1971 causeway Street cross Fenway park now the House off blues arrows Smith would also Play there a few Times Great show comforting memories. RIP Alvin
Got to see TYA 4 or 5 times in the early to mid 70's....always just damn awsome...Looks like Alvin didnt miss a step through the 90's either...RIP one of the all time greats
@Jimmy Warburton, for the same reason he never even gets mentioned among Rolling Stone Magazine's top 100 guitarists of all time, POLITICS! He makes my top 5 all-time greatest guitarists from the classic rock era all day long and twice on Sunday along with (in no particular order) Stevie Ray Vaughan, Duane Allman, Jimi Hendrix, & Johnny Winter.
I served in Nuremburg Germany in 1971-'72. Went to one of his concerts nearby. Standing room only so we sat in the large hollow boxes on which the loud speakers were on the stage. I looked over at Alvin and was he pissed! He didn't tell us to get out of the boxes but he was not happy. He was probably afraid we'd knock over the equipment. We behaved and the concert was great.
Jimmy Page said it best, ( if I had yo pay to see a guitarist it would be Alvin Lee ) he influenced everyone around him. He be on ever greatest guitar players list. RIP Alvin and thanks for all the great music.
Lo mejor de woodstock 69 , por lejos Alvin Lee con su fuerza interpretativa y su calidad como guitarrista , le dio un plus a ese recordado festival. Junto a Jimmy Hendrix , los dos mas grandes guitarristas de todos los tiempos , descansa en paz Alvin Lee.
El virtuoso Alvin Lee, de la banda Ten Years After, el hombre que le dió vida a Woodstoock, USA, esa noche en 1969, ante más de medio millón de personas, con I´m going home, 25 años después con su misma guitarra Gibson, Excelente , SIN PALABRAS..!!!
Loved Alvin Lee, “One these days boy”.., “Love to change the World” we’re some of the greatest songs ever, absolutely terrible he had to pass, You we’re one of the badest guitarist ever..,!!!!🥲👍
Alvin Lee was a god to me. His albums were fairly diverse. But every video I find is just basic blues rock. I can't watch this. It's so sad he couldn't put a show together, and not more 50's reruns.
ALVIN LEE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARIST EVER. HIMSELF AND TEN YEARS AFTER SHOULD BE IN THE ROCK HALL OF FAME. RIP ALVIN.
I agree! He and Johnny Winter both should be in. That is why the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is nothing more than a bad joke!
Yeah ! Himself!
RE Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame inductions: AGREED 💯% for BOTH Alvin Lee and Johnny Winter!!!

Don't understand why this man isn't in the hall and other's are who doesn't deserve to be nothing but respect 🕊️ and lots of 🎶💕💙
Blues Rock done the right way!!!!!. Alvin Lee is one of,.. IF not the most underrated guitarist ever. 🎸
playing techniques were way ahead of everyone from that era,
NOBODY EVER UNDERRATED ALVIN !!!!

🧩⚔️⭕⚔️👍🖐️
🎉one of the best bands, ever!!
HIs performance of Goin' Home at Woodstock is unforgettable!
Yes it was great music.
Nothing comes close.
I'm 68 yrs.old,fan since I was 14, best guitarist around then and still would be if he was alive.
Smoked lots of weed spinning vinyl and listening to 10 Years After. Still one of my guitar heros!
In my humble opinion Alvin Lee is one of the giants of Rock n' Roll whether he was solo or with his great band Ten Years After. PEACE!
After this show, this particular show back in April 94, Alvin Lee signed my copy of Recorded Live by Ten Years After. He was a nice guy, what a loss.
Wow great story thanks for sharing
He arrived on the scene right about when I started to play professionally. Every guitarist I knew was in awe of his his skill.
Alvin Lee, I’m going Home, Woodstock. He’s a beast!!!
Alvin Lee ocuupies the place of honor in the pantheon of the Best guitarists ( harmonic) of all time , Rest in Peace 🎸🎸🥁🎹
My first concert was Ten Years After at Winterland SF. I was 14. Been a fan all my life. The GOAT
R.I.P you were so ahead of your time.
Rock it in heaven.
I like how he just stepped in,and started playing, drowning out the show hosts,he was there to rock,as always
Yeah, the clueless hosts. I’m surprised they didn’t try to stop him.

ALVIN LEE a true blues and Rock n Roll Maestro! Another huge miss by the pathetic Rock Hall of Fame 😞
It was a tragedy when you passed away.the greatest of all.

Yes Mate . I'm stuck in the 70s too. NOTHING BEATS 70s ROCK 🎸🎸🔊
Thanks
60's and 70's rock is THE BEST 👌
@@stevemann3080 I agree. rip ALVIN. Happy new year.

Authentic, real and a true consummate musician. You blew me away at Woodstock and each time you played. RIP..
I saw Alvin 11 times over the course of 30 some years and always rock hard and never did a bad show!
Imagine Alvin Lee Gary Moore Rory Gallagher jamming together wouldn't that have been a show
Yes it would be three of the best guitarplayers of all tme : )
they do it in heaven , -)

Great guitarist
True musician and a legend!
Glad I saw him perform in Boston MA in '82. Great show!
Why the hell aren't Alvin Lee and Ten Years After in the R&R HOF???
@Jimmy Warburton, for the same reason he never even gets mentioned among Rolling Stone Magazine's top 100 guitarists of all time, POLITICS! He makes my top 5 all-time greatest guitarists from the classic rock era all day long and twice on Sunday along with (in no particular order) Stevie Ray Vaughan, Duane Allman, Jimi Hendrix, & Johnny Winter.
Cuz it's run by people that don't have a clue about great classic rock
Because it's all BS!
@@musicmike1960 perhaps because he played good old rock`n roll.
They are in much better places.
Alvin basically told the host to shut the ef up with his guitar....love it 🙂
TEN YEARS AFTER 4xLIVE IN FRANKFURT/GERMANY 💃🎸🎊👈🎶🎶🎸💃🌀🎆🔙🎇✳️🔝💥♨️🎉🌟🍺🍻
GREAT CONCERTS.. WOW.. 🔙🎆💃🎸💃🎸

Mr. Speed Fingers. Alvin was the best.
