  • Thank you to our patron Arnie for this awesome pick! Man, did this get the brain juices flowing or what... they have such a cool, unique sound. Alvin is just an absolute monster on that axe. That outro was blistering. This was such a great track. I already added it to my pandora LOL

    Alvin Lee had a close friendship with George Harrison and George played slide guitar on Lee's "The Bluest Blues". It's considered one of George's best solos.

    In1969 I was a hotel maid in Salt Lake Utah. Went into a room to clean and this entire band was in the room. These guys, Talk about nervous, They talked to me a bit while I was trying to clean the room. Asking them if they needed any towels and such. They could tell I was nervous.. Upon leaving they gave me 5 tickets to the show that night. Me and 4 friends went and watched these gorgeous long haired men. Those were the best of days..The music,, well you know.

    Alvin had some of the fastest fingers, According to very many of his contemporaries back in the day, and the thing that stands out most among all of them is Hendrix made some admiring statements about how great Alvin was.

    Everyday we saw the burnt bleeding bodies of our kids. As a kid I lived in a working class neighborhood and we lost so many, my brothers were coming to that age. I can’t tell you what it felt like to be a small child seeing the war on tv every night, along with the social unrest ,the southern people screaming at little kids trying to go to scroll, police openly beating everyone,using water cannons on people protesting. Rage at injustice is burned into my soul . The pain of the tyranny overtaking the country right now . I wish the young the best , it’s your hot mess now .

Such a great song to chill out too. Still have this vinyl in our old collection. We’ve been together for 54 years, married for 49….. still rocking😎

    Thanks for the Alvin Lee from my day. Also kudos for the Two Wolves mention. For those who may not be familiar:
    One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
    He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.
    One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
    The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
    The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
    The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

    My uncle worked on helicopters in Viet Nam during the early days of the war (1966). He had just returned, we were all at Gramdma's house, I looked at his scrapbook from the war. A few photos showed South Vietnamese soldiers with necklaces of human ears and other horrors.
    When I turned 18 a few years later, I knew I wanted nothing to do with that war.

    Alvin was phenomenal. I saw him five times, twice with Ten Years After, once with Ten Years Later, and twice solo. Incredible shows every time. He never played this song at any of those shows. Go back and listen to the drums and bass. The lyrics, melody and guitar bring you in, but the bass and drums are right up there with everything else. Lots of great TYA songs you could do - Rock and Roll Music To The World, Slow Blues in C, I Woke Up This Morning, Good Morning Little Schoolgirl, No TItle, Baby Won't You Let Me Rock and Roll You,....

    Great song!
    The Vietnam War ended the year before I turned 18 and my age group of males were getting a bit worried we'd be called up for the draft. My mom later told me she was ready to take me and my younger brother to Canada, if it came down to that, and I had to tell her I probably wouldn't have left with her. No matter how opposed to the war I was, I'm not a coward. However, it was a tense time back then, which was undercut by a pervasive, growing numbness to the war, due to the "Body Count." Every evening on the Nightly News, the networks would update the viewers on the progress (or lack thereof) of the war and then would show the damned Body Count, which ranged from 35 - 235 deaths every single day. It was a horror show, and eventually people began to grow numb to the death and destruction, just to cope with the trauma caused by seeing that damned Body Count, along with the horrific visuals coming out of 'Nam.
    A lot of people wanted to change the world back then, and much got done, but "the man," like a Vegas casino, always wins.

    Hi Lee. 'A Space in Time' (1970), one of the greatest and most beautiful Albums of all time from one of the greatest Bands of all Time with one of the greatest Guitarists, Singer and Composers in the Hisrory of Rock, Mr. Alvin Lee - Ten Years After! This Album from 1970 is One of the most outstanding Albums ever recorded. A Record of beguiling beauty. Hence my tip - is simple: listen, marvel, enjoy, kneel down and cry! ☺ Kind Regards Heinz (from Munich/Germany). 🌳❤🥀✨

    This will still sound great decades into the future. Very 70s-rooted and yet kind of timeless. Fun to play too. When I play this at 'gigs' the smiles on people's faces makes all the work I did learning to play guitar well worth it.

    1971 is the year the Who released WHO’s NEXT 1965 to 1975 song and groups that are heavy, hard and loud that has something to say and don’t care if it’s not what the establishment would like. Nor commercial a.m. top 40 stations advertisers would like because if you really say it, the radio won’t play it so you have to lay it……..

    The most epic song they ever did was Standing at the Station. It builds to a frenzied finish. I know you'd love it because your musical tastes closely align with mine.

    My recollection is hearing or reading that Alvin Lee really didn't like this song. I saw them 3 or 4 times when they were still pretty big, and they never played it. I saw Alvin flying kick over one of his Marshall stacks when their encore was interrupted twice by power loss. He then turned to the audience, smiled and waved, and that was the end of the show. Oddly satisfying ending.

    I'm going home . . . by helicopter - That's another great listen, Alvin's set at Woodstock, he's in a groove a mile deep. I had friends who briefly argued this was a George Harrison song. Ah, the days of the DJ not mentioning the name at the end, missing the start where they talked over the opening was a crime too.

      @@L33Reacts Alvin Lee’s guitar was crying to us today. And Lou Reed? I remember being on a subway in NYC as a teenager and a cross dresser came on the train with fishnet stockings and short shorts and a tank top. I was from Illinois and never saw someone different. It was an educational experience and I still remember it. I love that song and have played it multiple times today.

    1965 Barry McGuire Eve of Destruction. Similar lyric.”handful of senators, don’t pass legislation” 1971 senators, stop the war. The war in Vietnam started 1955 the US sided with the south Vietnamese government. It’s not simple getting involved in a civil war. It had been going on for 9 years before the US GOT INVOLVED IN 1964

    The title reminded me of the old series of commercials and the jingle, "I'd love to buy the world a Coke".
    Though I quit drinking Coke, they had classic commercials, e.g., polar bears.
