Alvin Lee was a beast on the guitar and Leo Lyon's was killing it on the bass. 🔥🎸 Between 1968 and 1973 the band scored eight Top 40 albums in the UK and 12 albums in the US Billboard 200 perhaps not on the same level as Led Zeppelin, but they have some really good hits, especially if you love the blues, and I love the blues💙 If you enjoy this genre/style of music then I'd like to introduce you to another band. Except this is from Texas because "Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood (Live at the El Mocambo)" SRV is a "Texas Bluesman" and he is mesmerizing. He's insanely talented and has swag. He oozes soul out of every pore, and sadly we lost SRV at the tender age of 35 yrs. old. SRV has a large fan base, if you head down his rabbit hole. Be warned: he has a very loyal fan base.
Alvin Lee was a total badass. But then you got to think about it because the other three guys in the band were total badasses as well and they had already played together for quite a while before even that first Woodstock International exposure. I do think all of their albums are interesting and if you get to some of the early stuff it's like they're in an underground Pub in London that's known for just a hardcore kind of Cutting Edge Jazz seen or something and there's a live recording of them doing I think a Woody Herman cover and oh my God it just slays.
Thanks for the reaction to one of my favorite bands!! These guys are very underrated and so is Alvin Lee's guitar work. Here is another very good TYA song for you, Ten Years After - I Can't Keep From Crying - 8/4/1975 - Winterland (Official). ua-cam.com/video/icWcaP0_L2o/v-deo.html
Thats how your earn a paycheck No matching outfits no need to shake your ass My friend saw him in the early 90s in a bar T shirt and jeans and said he blew him away
I agree that "I'd Love to Change the World" is a masterpiece. It made/makes me sad, however, as it seemed at the time to mark the end of 60s activism and the beginning of the 70s "Me Generation" defeat and apathy.
thanks sir for doing alvin lee and ten years after, my favorite guitarist and band forever.....the larry bird of musicians...the best OVERALL....sheesh, try the bluest blues and ten years LATER im going home....FRANK w. SSG (Ret) US Army
Ten Years After were blues influenced no doubt. I'm Going Home at Woodstock is a banger. Staying with the blues genre, a guitarist named Gary Clark Jr that's keeping blues alive has a song If Trouble Was Money live 9/2/2014. I know your a busy man nowdays, so just keep this in your back pocket. Gary's damn good bro. Cheers.
You just witnessed the grandfather of shredding. Eddie Van Halen put it best without Alvin he would not be. At Woodstock Hendrix confessed that his 0lay8ng scared him, The most underrated band of all time.
One of These Days is the best from album A Space in Time
And people wonder why us old people dont like most of the music today Rock on young brother Peace to you and yours
Fantastic ! I loved Ten Years After 40 years ago ! Just wait until you check out I Can't Keep From Crying , live in 1974 ! Incredible !!
Great band

Indeed, not the same level as Led Zeppelin, way better. :)

Somehow I missed this reaction.
Saw Alvin twice live. So HOT!

Somehow this band and the mighty Alvin Lee are not in the Hall of Fame. Both Jimmy Page and Eddie Van Halen both referred to Alvin as their Rock god
