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.
Just when you think You've seen it all !!!!!
I was lucky to see Alvin Lee live at the Elmo in Toronto.After he left the stage I reached out to shake his hand and he walked past me .But he came back and shook my hand,I said to him that was a great show,he said I hope you liked it.I will never forget that I shook hands with Alvin Lee a true rock&roll legend.

@@ellywinterquist8086 I would like to shake the hand that shook the hand...
Truly Is, never ever forget the other great members TEA.
Good god Alvin was such a great guitarist wish more ppl would recognize him
I know right?
Still have my A Space In Time record. Every song is great!
They don't get the recognition they deserve,
Ten years after recorded live was one of the top albums of the 70’s.
Alvin lee el mejor
Ten years after demostro desde woostock que fue el mejor
Yes, my favorite for years, loved it, recorded live from The Rolling Stones Mobil unit🤪
Alvin Lee is the king of rock and blues guitar!!! The whole rock industry has made a fortune from him.
Recorded live is th ebest live album for ever! ( for me)
Oh God, these were really the good old days. RIP Alvin Lee
Alvin Lee Was the man!
Alvin Lee, total idol of times when everything was of higher quality than the current one in terms of music. They will always be the best for me.
The very best that no one has ever heard. You and I know though.
Indeed 🙏💪❤️
@@Lynjupiter1 😅😅👏👏❤️Me too on the list
i agree, Best band in the world. ALVIN IS GOD, RIP BRO. Cheer
Bar none. RIP Alvin your music will live on
Still goin down the road in 2023. Thanks T.Y.A.
Lol.. I love how Alvin just sort of goes, 'yeah okay, enough of that' and just flings his harpoon over his shoulder after that solo and gets back to the guitar.. Phenomenal on both instruments as well as his vocal chops. What a band.. all four of em.. Incredible.
Now is 60 years after and the majic still
even 50 years after they are still so great.
Saw them twice in the early to mid 70s. Off the charts fantastic!🎸🎸🥁🎹🎼👍😊
I've seen them LIVE 4 times or so and never got tired of hearing those songs. RIP, Alvin Lee who has been my idol.
I had the privilege of seeing Alvin lee at a small club in Springfield, Virginia in 1986. He did all of his old stuff including the newer music on his solo albums. Absolutely amazing.
One of the most underrated guitarist of all times
Agree
Deafinitely.
Not underrated at all. The most overrated comment on the internet.
I'll keep listening to rock and roll if you keep playing with your cartoons 🤣
EVER sir
72,73,74 years FRIENDS and I in OklahomaCity and DALLASTX we lived in STICKS drove 150 miles at least 5 times. TRULY a Legend,always played his HEART OUT> REMEMBER ALVIN LEE
My friends didn't understand til 10 yrs later.
He was so smooth on that ES335!!!
Iconic and very underrated Band ..Alvin Lee in my opinion the greatest
Tengo cuatro discos otro qué grupo que me motiva🎉🎉🎉 fuerza y libertad
Such a "Stone Fox"(as we used to say). I was 16 when I first became aware of Alvin Lee (I will be 72 July 2nd 2024). No wonder I expected more from rock and roll live. I thought they should put into it, what Mr. Lee did. I could say more, but it might be a little off color. I'll text my sister. Shell know what I mean. Ruff--animal magnetism!! Thank you so very much for filming his live performances!! A++++++!!
In 83 I Witnessed Alvin Lee Gary Moore and Greg Lake as a Mature 15 tr Old Rock n Roll Afacanadio and I Thank God for the Privlige
I had vinyls of the 70's live album, and A Space in Time. Great albums, great times. Also saw them in San Diego, TYA-TYrs Later was the billing of the show. GREAT
Great performance. Leo Lyons likely the best Bassist of the Classic Rock era.
I agree. leo the best. RIP ALVIN.HI.
Ohh yess, Leo Lyons is a beast
Heartily agree!
I remember this show at Winterland we were right up front. It was a great show Alvin Lee was one of the best.. Winterland was my favorite place and I saw many great concerts there. There will never be another place like it either. Bill Graham was the best promoter.
So true
Alvin Lee and Steve Marriott are two blues rock warriors admired by all others
I've seen Ten Years After play many times in many different places. One real class act. His bass player Leo Lyons was also great. One show I saw one of his finger bleedings from beating on his strings and he didn't stop to put a bandaid just continued with the show. He did lick it though. Blood was flying everywhere.
A space in time was an album that you could listen to all the way through without having to skip a song. And it was great on top of that.
The legendary Gibson es 335 .what an amazing performer. Alvin Lee so great.....band was top notch. Underated singer as well.💥
Alvin Lee the best of my life
Brilliant song, i just discovered this
70's saw alot of talent. Some stayed awhile, some passed on. Hope all of its waiting for me when i "break on thru too the otherside."
Way up on my list of favorite Ten Year songs.
I was at this concert. I was a 22 yo young man who was a giant TYA fan. I've seen Alvin 4 times. I love his "blues playing soul."
I was there as well it was one of the best shows. I loved Winterland and saw a lot of great bands there. I was 19 and those were the best and good times ever.
Oh U guys were So lucky to have been there.. I was only 15 then....
Maybe you were that younger guy I passed my joint to! TYA always "gave you your money's worth." Alvin Lee and Johnny Winter were... and still are...my two favorite guitarists. Combined...I saw them 10 times. Alvin 4 times...Johnny 6 times. Both were geniuses!@@rooney2561
without a doubt one of the finest rock performances
Alvin Lee took a part of me with him when he left us.
Same
I've heard a lot of really great guitarists, how many of them can say that they can rip up a harmonica just as well?...rock on Alvin Lee!!!
The Lee brothers absolutely stole every show, but that bassist though. WHOOOO!
It's 1973 and I'm a few bongs in. My friends older brother puts on the album "A Space In Time" and as "One of These Days" creeps from it's silent slumber he declares confidently, "this is the greatest song you're ever gonna hear". That was 43 years ago and every time I hear this song I nod my head and say "Jimmy, you son of a bitch...you're RIGHT!"
Seen him in oaha Hawaii. In 70s was Alsome !
...red dress on...
For sure...similar introduction for me on one of my favorite albums of all time....it was 1975 for me, I was 15
Good story
Alvin Lee was awesome! I got to see him 3 times in the 80's R.I.P. man!
Saw him 3 times in Dallas Texas around 69, 70 & 1971. Aways an awesome experience!
When I'm in heaven I sure hope I can hear TYA. Life isnt the same without their music
Leo Lyons on Fender bass the only man who could even keep up with Alvin Lee even with his fingers bleeding
My God I sure grew up in a great time, when music was great
What a player. Alvin Lee is right up there with Hendrix. I say that because each had a definable original virtuoso guitar style, wrote great songs and were talented, soulful vocalists. TYA just rocks. Churchill is out of his mind good on this track
Such an under rated band!!
Brilliant Simply Brilliant WOW!!!!, ManyThanx From So Cal!!!!,
Alvin Lee's guitar-stink-face was rivalled by no one!!!!!
Saw Ten Years After at the Music hall in Boston in 1972! They did 2 shows. Went the first night and they were so damn good we went the next night! Pure rock n roll at its finest! Who else was at these shows!!?? Opened with One of these days!
Saw them twice in 3 nights at the House of Blues in Chicago!!! With huge double- stacked Marshall's, I couldn't hear for a week-- A heavy case of TONE--ITIS!!!!!!!!!
Love the decals on Alvin's guitar...blues and boogie time!
Alvin could certainly rock and roll - a blizzard of notes delivered with charisma and supercharged energy. A true great, probably under appreciated in history, but in the post Woodstock era he rightfully had top billing.
My future brother in law asked me about this song not long after getting back from Vietnam.i was 13 or so and just started getting into listening to music.never forgot it.he acts like I'm crazy when I mention it.i did go out and get the album.
One of the most under rated guitar players of all time!
Damn, Alvin! you take me there every time.
⚡️♥️🎸⚡️
Alvin Lee is one of the greats. Thanks for posting!
All I can say is with all the great musicians We have lost . They must be one hell of a party going on . On the other side !!
Why did you have to leave so soon!!! Rest In Peace Alvin Lee. I've loved his music since the Woodstock days...
Love songs Alvin Lee style. Those were the days we shared joints, not bullets.
Alvin Lee R.I.P.
One o f these days The best harmonica/ guitar rift of all times!
I saw them at the Shrine in Los Angeles 1974 and it was a great show...what a great time for ROCK AND ROLL...the 70's was not all about lame ass disco
That was a peak tour!
Leo Lyons just KILLING that bass
I saw Ten Years After in a small town in the mid eastern part of The Netherlands, called Didam. It was like '85 or so. The flyer said "It's no joke, it's Ten Years After!". Me and my farmer friend, we must have been 15 or so, tried playing Ten Years After on bass and guitar and listened to it all the time. We had the live album "Recorded live" which is one of the best albums ever. We couldn't believe it, but we went. We didn't trust it till the show really began, because it was sucha small joint. But it was true, it was Alvin Lee! It was a great concert, as I recall the keyboard player was not there but we had the time of our lives!
Saw these guys in the 70s.Was standing front and center.Awesome.
I saw TYA 4 times in the 70s and every show rocked. The 60s and 70s were the best concert years for me and my crew lol.
Wow! Great music. I’m a boomer but didn’t realize what I had missed.
i love this guy and ten years after then later and still today
mrs.ward here . still love them and Alvin Lee. thanks.
David Ward
Sounds as good today as back then (to these old ears!).
John Thomas With head phones on??

Ten Years After Ric Lee one of many inspired my brother to play drums. Great drummer.
One of these days. Alvin Lee is the fastest guitar player I ever seen. At the Pershing Auditorium, Lincoln, Ne. he brought the house down. 12,000 people throwing chairs and by the way my wife was hit in the head. Now since I ain't married to her anymore I do not give a fuck. Going Home was a 15 minute rendition of Helicopter's song and it was fucking awesome. Alvin Lee never a dropped note or chord and never a mistake. Quickwater. The concert was in July 1970.
... posted under a song highlighting a woman. Maybe she needed a red dress.
I saw them when they came out with A Space in Time, around this time, freakin Ten Years After kick ass
fantastic concert on the Hastings pier 1974....can't forget that night
Dude was amazing ....
I enjoyed the intimacy of the small venue in Orlando, Fl. "The Point After" fantastic performance, Blessed !
An Amazing musician! Saw them in Miami sometime ago in early 70’s
From the first moment I heard this band I was hooked
ALVIN Lee was the man!
I am very grateful and lucky to see him
Berkeley California, I play guitar but not as good as this... still of my all-time epitome of
of the all time blues/rock all time greats
superb...where is it now
Ahora está en el cementerio, pues murió aquí en España, concretamente en Marbella que era donde vivía, era un fuera de serie , d e p
Alvin was so underated!
Incomparable. Energía, talento, técnica, espontaneidad y creatividad
ManyThanx!!,!
Alvin Lee, one of the masters. This proves it. Thank you for the recording.
The two best concerts I ever saw were Ten Years After in Tampa, FL 1974 and The Clash in Houston 1979. I hope I got the dates right. What can I say, it was the 70s. Anyway, Alvin Lee was just incredible as was the rest of the band. Amazing show.
did you see them in Tampa or st. Pete that show where they came back out after the house lights were on and and play the third encore
I don't remember. Saw a lot of concerts at Curtis Hixon in Tampa and the Bayfront Center in SP. I do remember taking pics using my dad's camera and high speed tungsten film of the TYA concert. Produced a slide show using a TYA concert album as a soundtrack and played it for my friends and family. That was fun.
Saw TYA in Germany 1974 and BOC in 1977, best two shows ever.
Both British bands
You guys are lucky, didn't get TYA down to little old NZ but vinyl travelled ok What sound they produced, freedom expressed through music, those were the times.Just one of those days!
Saw them at the Musik Halle in Hamburg in Sep '70 just before I returned Stateside. Their live performance was studio quality.
Legends
On ne s'en lasse pas. Je connais ces morceaux par coeur depuis mes 15 ans, en 1970, et je les écoute toujours avec le même plaisir.
Si !
De la famille de Marcel?
I just Love Alvin So much!!🎸🎶🎵🎼🎤🎸🎶Gone Too soon..Its a ROCK N ROLL HEAVEN🎼🎶🎸🎵still listening in 10/2019.
One of the best, got to see ten years after live✌️💯🎶
He was One of most cool People , i ever see in My Live
My idol of guitar
ALVIN IS GOD.RIP.
MAGIC!
I used to cruse around in a 68 Camero back in the early 70's with an 8 track tape player listening to Alvin lee for the coast of California to the Colorado River along with other bands. TYA. Live was my favorite tape. I went through 3 TYA Live 8 tracks tapes, fixing and rewinding them to keep them going before I finally grew out of the party all the time mode.
Got a lot of TYA favourites (like, almost all of their tunes?), but this one's right around the top somewhere.
Awesome
Awesome!
I was at that concert for my birthday present from a very beautiful girl friend.
I believe its been 10 yrs back still here but must run again ...never ending story....close my eyes wish I could❤
What a great band!.
Alvin Lee не просто мастер как то. Page о нем сказал " Это просто здорово невероятная скорость пальцев и гармония игры " ! Он лутший из лучших, жаль что его больше нет но музыка его впери планеты всей 🙏🎸
Alvin Lee un fenomeno del rock
Pleasant memory!!!
