    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.

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.

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.🙂

    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!

    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.

    If someone ever asks to hear a jam from the end of the 1960s, this will do nicely! 😊

    I traveled around the country on business for years and I never failed to sing this chorus over the phone to my wife on my way home. She's 10 year younger then me. When I finally showed her the video she was more than a little shocked. 🙂This song is full of memories.

    Great to see that you love it as well. I'm old but it's one of my favorite songs, if not my favorite. Nice comment at the end of the song. Very professional. Greetings from Germany

    This performance turned me on to him and TYA. Saw him solo in NYC 1979. Tremendous.

    Alvin Lee on guitar. I saw The Alvin Lee Band open for Black Sabbath in 1981 & Alvin was still playing that same guitar, & he ended the show with this song & it was as great as ever.

    They were amazing in concert! I was lucky enough to have seen them in person. And, yes, the bass is insane. "Good Morning, Little Schoolgirl" is another good one.

    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!!! ❤🎉😊

    Ten Hears After were absolutely brilliant live but they could never quite recreate that excitement in their studio albums.

    Glad to see you chose the long version for us; the slobbering, foaming and flying sweat only adds to it. 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.
