  • Another day, another Woodstock video. Thank you to our patron Bruce D for this AWESOME pick. If the Santana video was meant for drummers, this one was meant for guitarists. My god. That was so ahead of it's time, it's not even funny. It felt Who-ish at points but not at others. Absolute shred fest.

      I am the asshole, the idiot, and the hater. I watch alot of reaction videos and there are certain videos that are the chopped versions and they get passed around to all the reactors which drives me mad and I finally snapped and took it out on this poor kid. The 2 most common videos is Ram Jams Black Betty which cuts out the whole guitar lead and Santana's Soul Sacrifice at Wood stock which cuts out MIcheal Shrives amazing drum solo. I also said in the same comment that this kid is doing a good job but he got offended and told me to pound sand. I still think he is a good kid and does a good job or should I say a better job after this full length video.🙂

    They called themselves Ten Years After because they formed then years after Elvis Presley came on the scene. This is what you call rock'n'roll.

    Alvin Lee's adrenaline-fueled vintage blues and Fifties rock and roll, featuring lightning-fast fretwork and a full-on blues-rocking experience, is old-school jammin' at its best. Songs like
    Good morning, Little School Girl", "The Bluest Blues," "Turn Off The TV Blues', "Choo Choo Mama,' and "Rock and Roll Music To The World" are all amazing. He was one of the fastest
    guitarists in the world. RIP ALVIN - Thanks for playing Ten Years After; we old Dawgs in our mid-70s were all fans of the band.

      God had nothing to do with it. Hell, the hippies were hardly religious. No, Woodstock was filmed because it was a good business decision to do so.
      They certainly didn't earn any money from the festival itself, so making a film was a potential way of earning back their investments.

    Pete Townshend once said "it's hard for kids today musically, because everything's been done before" Having pioneered so much himself, he knew what he was talking about. Alvin set the bar few could imitate and that era will never be repeated. I'm a 79 year old who is bloody privileged to have been a young man then.

    That is the ONE that many people don't play. They end up with the shorter edited version and miss all this. When Alvin Lee was introducing the song many people think that the song was written by "helicopter". That was an inside joke because the roads were blocked by thousands of abandoned cars and the only way groups were getting to the event was by helicopter. I was on the west coast and working after 4 years in the Navy when Woodstock happened. Good to hear this I'm now 78 years old and this takes me back. This is pure Rock 'n Roll!

    Actually it was quite warm that day they played - around 30°C ... but the heavy rain cooled it down a lot and TYA performed this around 10 pm, when it was already dark. It might be around 3-5°C, which is actually cooler than my fridge and my beer! :) Great performance as most of the Woodstock Festival! My mom was there and has only good memories (< not that much, because of ...), but ... yeah! *luv&peas! The entire festival was legendary! ♥ There is so much more to explore from Woodstock'69.

Quite a transformation he goes through over the course of a few minutes; from "normal" rocker at the start to Raging Demon at the end. Legend has it the only reason he stopped is bc his machine was catching fire (and the pianist had passed out). I need a toke.

    He played every blues musician and songs in one. He went Link Ray for a moment. He also seemed to have broke a few strings by the end! 😅 what a performance ALVIN LEE!!! ❤🎉😊

    I've been lucky to meet Alvin Lee in a bar in Brussels in the early nineties, after a concert in town - totally down-to-earth guy, no star syndrom at all. Lovely fellow 👍

    I had the pleasure of seeing Ten Years After at the Legendary Marquee Club on Wardour Street when I was seventeen. We had so many great bands to see around then I was blessed. I still have and listen to Stonedhenge I hear you calling is still my favourite TYA song.

    I was there about 50 yards from the stage getting off on acid. The lighting made it surreal as 10 Years After took me to another dimension.

    Alvin Lee, one of the greatest guitarists of the Golden Era of Rock ... when the best guitarists of all time ruled the stages of the world. Sadly his name is seldom among those listed as being a true great, but he was without question one of the greatest of the greats.

    I got turned on to Ten Years After by a slightly older friend when I would hang out at their place sometimes in junior high. And ultimately, within a year or so I became obsessed with them, I was so in love with it.
    I initially bought their A Space In Time album, which became iconic. How many times have I seen them sitting in a field of tall green grass on the cover of a record album in somebody's place; everybody seemed to have it. And yet by then it was already 6 years old I think.
    Then I worked my way forward and backward from there, and I just loved everything I heard.
    I think you would really really dig their massive hit from the early seventies, I'd Love to Change the World. It's just one of those amazing gems that just cuts across all boundaries. It was so incredibly popular and on the radio constantly and we always played it on records whenever we could. I bet you would really have a great reaction, and I would definitely go for the audio track, since that's what we all heard and that's what we all played on the records, and for the time, the production on that thing is fantastic and it was mostly Alvin Lee and another guy. And by the way all four of those guys had played together for years and years including almost more jazz type stuff early and they've always been so good. And it seems like on some of the older stuff, you actually get more of a sense of the chops of the drums and bass and piano, but they are always evident all the time. Those guys were so amazingly tight together.

    Actually an odd twist to Woodstock was Sha Na Na, who did an early rock n roll retro act. A decade later, they had a tv show at the height of the Disco era, another odd twist. Fun times.

    I certainly enjoy your openness and honesty. The youth of that generation had a wonderful bond with each other. There was a trust that was rarely broken. You appear to grasp a bit of what we experienced. The music was so varied and we all enjoyed the jazz, blues, rock and even symphonic pieces! Concerts were affordable ($2.50/ticket)!
    We trusted and relied on each other.
    This song and production is truly a good example of a search for talent and thought expansion we all felt. Oh, and fun!

    ALL of their music is great, but "Cricklewood Green", "A Space In Time", and "Rock and Roll Music To The World" are the quintessential TYA albums to listen to.

    One of my absolute favorites from Woodstock, I listen to this often, because it’s 🔥 🔥🔥makes my day and takes me back to the 60’s & 70’s & the best music there has ever been!! Alvin Lee & Ten Years After gave everything in this performance & the huge crowd loved it at the end someone handed Alvin a cold whole watermelon to help him cool down ❤️‍🔥!! Some more Ten Years performances I’d Love To Change The World’ ,as well as the album A Space In Time 👍🔥😻. Another famous favorite ❤️ from Woodstock is Santana, ❤️‍🔥🧨🥁🎸🪘💥this is when they became famous & their biggest gig (at that time) 🥰
