Alvin Lee - Slow Blues in ‘C’
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- 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!
One of the best blues guitarists ever and some say the fastest hands in rock. Alvin gave me much pleasure
Miss you enjoy your music since I first heard Ten Years After and solo albums I'm 64 now still enjoy your music RIP Alvin Lee
Got the blues bad when I heard Alvin passed.I miss ya brother
alvin Lee très grand musicien de grande classe !
My God, Alvin Lee died less than a year after this performance in Holland. R.I.P. Alvin Lee. May that Gibson Guitar , that very Few could come close to playing like you did with lightning quickness, be saved and adored for the ages.
The truly greats, as was Alvin, are all too often not realized to the extent of their talent til they b gone. -a die hard fan for 60 yrs.
Lee the most underrated guitar slinger, no fancy tecko pure genius it was in his fingers in the raw one of thee gods, of the blues a world apart stood alone 2021 still brilliant🎸🎸🎸🎸
Yes Sir, I'm 66 and his music is gonna Rock my old ass right into my dirt bed. 🎸🍺
What makes you believe he's underrated?
Him & Stevie Ray, they strapped on, plugged in & the muse poured out of them like sweat. The only player I know can evoke more emotion with less notes is D. Gilmour.
Love Alvin Lee (and Ten Years After) - ALWAYS! His legacy will live on FOREVER! R.I.P. ✌
👍 . ✌↩
He went home 🎸
One of the Greats RIP Alvin.
One of the best and the most underrated of all time. He is just now getting accolades he should have had years ago.
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...
CIERTO, HACE AÑOS. 🎼🎵👍
Greatest blues. At 74 and being nocturnal listening Alvin in the wee small hours while reading the news, cool.
Yeah.....at night doing my hobbies....me and Alvin....his music...
People keep asking why the thumbs down, well thats like asking why are some people mute to great performances, no one will ever know why they have no feelings for good jams. Its sad but the lovers of the blues keeps growing brother. Hang in there because we win. RIP Alvin.
Are you trying to say there's other kinds of music besides the blues?🤔
Makes me sad, he is gone. Love ALL of his music. Rest In Peace Alvin Lee...
All the great ones are gone.
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!
You nailed it. Sooooo underrated. In my opinion thee best bluest blues player, guitarist and singer in all of r&b history. Thank you Mr. Lee
ALVIN. LEE IS BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST GUITAR PLAYERS. DID HE GET EVER PUT IN THE ROCK HALL OF FAME ? TEN YEARS AFTER WAS A FUCKING GREAT BAND. WOW. I LOVE LUSTENING TO HIM PLAY RIP
Andy, NO TYA is NOT in the RHOF - That's Incredible, yet they vote in ridiculous other bands or performers. Are YOU KIDDING Me!! Just based on their performance at Woodstock 1969 - the real Woodstock- they should be inducted bc , It was awe Inspiring, culture enhancing performance of one of the Greatest Rock/ Blues Guitarists that ever Lived.TYA Fans Should UNITE and Protest to the RHOF NOW !!

Been a fan since 1973. He is one of the best, right up there with jimmy page jimmy H. ERIC C. Dewayne A. Dickey Betts, BB K. TOP 10 4 SURE. HE WENT HOME, R.I.P. MR. GUITARIST.
Alvin Lee and his musical style will live forever

Fortunate to see Alvin Lee and Ten Years After in Atlanta in the late 60's or early 70's.
Up there with the best blues men. So much feeling in every note.
This is real brilliant the way he played this we keep his music alive he was so good.

This one was done on my birthday.... Happy birthday to me... Love you and your music Alvin!!!!
here at 71 I am....knew blues captured most artists from the home country for the English and blues, not saying we don't have a roobost blues community all doing just fine. This offshot of the Mississippi when blues were born and deep. finding blues players from my formerly Rock royally and see Mr. Lee is justly one of the cleanest sounds blues I've heard, and like how time is kept. thought I was gonna break something inside with glee...you had me at hello
Fantastic . I miss you friend . 🌷 .
One of my favorite song from Mr. Lee
Alvin Lee my Guitarhero for Ever. See you in heaven.
Love this guy... makes my day! Every time I listen to Alvin! I wish I had played guitar instead of Bass!
From Leon Wilkerson's favorite bass player... still wish I had learned Alvin's guitar licks! Cause Leon kind of blew me away as a Bass player. I remember thinking I need to practice
Always his own distinctive and free-wheeling style of great playing! Not afraid to step outside the "norms" of electric guitar playing and go all in. A great virtuoso guitarist.
One of the greats so underrated I'm 7o love him since I was young
Always love listenin to Alvin Lee! Miss ya brother.
Alvin !!!! the world may change, but not your blues ... we miss you, bro ... we miss you.
The Bluest. Blues.!!!!!......
Love Alvin since day one! Beautiful blues baby! Miss ya like crazy!
I'm listening almost every day to Alvin Lee, but I'm always mourning too, because of his passing away a few years ago.
one of the best
Great add. Always been one of my favorites.
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.
So damn funky you can smell it!❤
The most underrated guitarist of all time
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.
What makes you believe he's underrated? Did you travel the globe taking a survey from every citizen of the world? Please explain.
He was awesome.A+ Became part of the guitar doing the blues!!!!!
One of the greatest.RIP my friend
brings tears to my eyes. 🥲❤️⚡️
Truly one of th best blues guitarist for sure!
Sheer Brilliance!!! Im swept away by the crest of a wave!
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.
Lpmgato1. Is ALVIN LEE IN THE THE ROCK HALL OF FAME.? TEN YEARS AFTER ?
Lpmgato1. I so agree! Yes there alot of good guitarist. But he is top. Ten years after I had several albums.
NAME DROPPER, It's not a contest!
I buy music, don't really CARE what their names are.
GROW UP!
It’s not a contest I agree but there’s good music and bad music. Good Blues and not so good blues. No harm appreciation the best.
your so right bro.
13 years old 1979 watching Woodstock on public access channel and ten years after came on and did I'm comin home just WOW blew my little mind
Woooonderfullll! Faaaantastic!!!
So great his wonderfull play with his Gibson Hollowbody sound!!!
Marc Ludemann Yea, great sound. He used a 1959 Gibson ES335.
En estos tiempos de tanta maldad que vivimos, Alvin Lee, calma mi malestar, lo sigo hace 52 años (desde mis 15). Grande Alvin, espero conocerte en la vida después de esta, que hoy no es vida.🙏
Incrivel Bluesman Alvin Lee!! Varginha, MG - Brasil

Awesome
Alvin's LAST SHOW was on my birthday in 2012.
And a great show it was.
I'm Going Home" from live Woodstock 1969 was Alvin Lees greatest performance
THE ISLE OF WIGHT
His famous audition! But every song he played was „The Greatest“!
No it wasn’t.
I agree, I believe as one of the greatest performances of all time
what a musician!
ONE WORD LEGEND!!!
Greatest Blues guy ever! Stole his bass player's lickes ....every time I jammed on some Blues TURNAROUNDS!
It’s hurt me deep in side..RIP mr Alvin
Han sido muchos los temas que he escuchado de Alvin Lee pero este es Fenomenal, que bestial ese solo de guitarra, es impresionante el derroche de artista de este señor. A mi entender él está en los mejore 5 de la guitarra del Rock, que me perdonen los demás. Este tema: SLOW BLUES IN "C" entrega el alma en su ejecución. Luis B. Caracas, 24.02.2021.
Le Corde dell' Universo...ciao Jaume Amico mio
absolutli de hit...
zom mitspile...
That gorgeous Gibson sings in Alvin's hands; more clearly than many of the best blues singers.
In 2004 I saw Alvin lay in Aberdeen ( that's in Scotland, folks) along with two other acts, Tony TS McPhee of the Groundhogs, and the Edgar Winter Group... all other guitarists did the twisted face thing, but not Alvin, while melting the faces off the the crowd with blistering guitar licks, he was scoping the the first three row out for chicks..
... and he got them!
K:)
Grande Alvin...
the best!!!
I had his poster over my bunk, watching over me. RIP
The black and white from cripplwood green?
@@chrisarensdorf19 it was a black light of him andnjis guitar
Brilliance!!
So damn good, true blues, rip 🎶🎶🎶
Slow blues in C è il miglior blues di ogni tempo. Tutti abbiamo iniziato a suonare il blues con un giro in tonalità Do. Nessuno è riuscito a tirar fuori una melodia così bella con un crescendo dal estremamente lento (slow) fino al finale tirato.
rock n roll music &blues 2 the world
Love you
Thank you Lord, this is one of my greatest blessing
I saw him play in Belgium 🇧🇪 he is good 👍 1:05
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.
