  • Alvin Lee- gtr, voc; Richard Newman- drums; Pete Pritchard- bass
    from the album The Last Show (2013)
    The 2012 concert which turned out to become Alvin’s last ever show happened after a nine month break since the band had played together and had to be done without even a sound check. It was recorded on a handheld ‘bootleggers’ device (albeit by the sound engineer). However, when Alvin heard the footage he wanted to make it available for the fans. Buy it here: rainmanrecords....

    After All of My 71 years I finally found My Favorite Blues Guitarist Alvin Lee tonight and I'm enjoying just like when I first heard Alvin play late night on OKC'S FM radio station in 1969 and I've been hooked ever since. Mmm Mmmm! What a way to refresh MYSELF!

    • @timtonner946
      @timtonner946 Рік тому +4

      Agreed. But the irony is that NOT getting accolades seems to, appropriately, fit that which is the blues. He was a phenom that seemingly existed in the background, maybe where he kinda belonged? And those of us who truly appreciate the blues, legit blues, knew where to find him...

    The greatest guitarist of the classic rock era that no one ever talks about. Alvin Lee was pure fireball in his fingertips, and was very much suited by the three different nicknames he sported for nearly his entire career, I.E., Captain Speedfingers, Fastest Guitar In The West, and The Man Who Played Faster Than His Shadow. This cat could flat shred a fret board, and his style was very unique because he did it without the use of wah/wah bars, foot pedals, fuzz boxes, or any of the other gimmicks of the day. Just pure lightning speed and God-given ability. Sure miss you Alvin!

    Lieber Alvin Lee! Einmal erlebte ich Dich an einem Sommernachmittag in einem Freiluft-Stadion in Köln, etwa um 1978,, mit Deinen 'Ten Years Later'. Anschließend spielte John Mc Laughlin's Band 'One Truth Orchestra', Joan Baez und Genesis. Was für ein Tag! Ein paar Jahre vor Deinem Heimgang sah ich Dich im 'Planet Music' in Wien. Unvergessen. Danke.

      Danny Gatton (The Humbler) probably holds that distinction. Roy Buchanan, Terry Kath, and Alvin honorable mention. The idea of being “underrated” probably applies best to the naive kids and ignorant older farts making up lists for Rolling Stone magazine, and those inane rankings seen here on UA-cam.
      That said, Alvin could share a stage respectably, with any blues/rock players.

    Still awesome, right up to the very end. We lost him way too soon. Will always be awed by Alvin Lee. Few, if any, match his virtuosity, intensity, passion, on guitar. In my view, Alvin Lee was the best pure guitarist of his era, better, far more consistent, than Hendrix, Page, or any of the classic rock greats from the 1960s. RIP, Alvin.

    God damn, if you like 'mournful' blues, then this guy is your man. I just cant see how he's above Jimi, Moore, SRV, etc, who had a dynamic style that he breaks out now and then but goes into heartbreak hollow straight away. The blues is about overcoming obstacles not being defined by them.

      I like all the ones you cited way more then Alvin, but he is also great, gotta listen to The Bluest Blues per exemple, that song has legit one of the best solos of all time

    Saw him in Worcester Mass. So long ago i cant remember the year. 81 or 82 maybe ? But I do remember his great guitar playing.
