The man can play. One of my favorite guitarists and bands. Very underrated Imo. It's a wonderful song. I could tell you both were enjoying that guitar playing. Great choice and reaction!
I'm glad you finally got to Ten Years After. Alvin Lee is one of my favorite guitarist and the rest of the band is great as well. They did some solid albums in the late 60:s and early 70:s. There's lots of good songs in their discography. Off the top of my head I'd like to recommend "I Woke up This Morning" and "50.000 Miles Beneath My Brain".
It is a nice way to look at it, but the skies are sunny, bees make honey part refers to the hippie movement of that time. Just as he refers to the conservatives, socialists and capitalists. As for the guitar work, the lead guitarist was seen as one of the best of his era, one of the guitar gods of the late 60s and early 70s.
Agree, if you want to change the world, take care of yourself, your family, friends, neighbors and the people you encounter each day, rebuild from the grassroots up.
Alvin Lee was known for his speedy playing, but he was underrated for his deep soulfulness. The comparison to Carlos Santana is something I'd never thought of but is right on the money. RIP Alvin Lee - you changed the world more than you know. Truly one of the classic rock guitar solos of all time in this song.
this song is excellent but i always questioned the lyrics. with the lyric "i don't know what to do" its obviously about frustration. but the line "so i leave it up to you" is a pass-the-buck sentiment i don't agree with. but the overall impact of the song has an epic feel to it; a timeless even emotional quality. its inspirational depite its rather "who cares" lyrics. the entire album this song appears on, "a space in time," is one of the best r&r albums ever. its a wonderful blend of "space" effects, hook filled ballads and great rock and roll. their appearence at woodstock is great too. "i'm going home (by helicopter)" just kicks major butt. thanks for the upload.
great song. guitar work is incredible. had not heard this song for some time, so happy to find it again. please do a reaction to "Get Together" by the Youngbloods. A song similar in vein to this one for messaging.
Since nobody else mentioned this, I feel I must: The first line is, "Everywhere is freaks and harries, dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity?" ... This line is written as if spoken by a presumably older, conservative, and crassly bigoted generation-- as the younger generation suffered under it in the 1960s. If you were gay or part of the hippie movement, or just had long hair, you were an automatic target for oppression from most older people, parents, employers, landlords, police, the government, even the president himself- Richard Nixon at that time. Unfortunately, we are moving back in a similar direction today in much of the world.
The great Alvin Lee - - we miss him so much!
Priceless reaction to one of the greatest songs of all time! It made me so happy to see how much you two enjoyed it.

Goooood choice
Great song and the narrators are so cute. I loved when they would start clapping when the song came to a point that they particularly enjoyed.
I enjoyed your heartfelt reaction. I saw Alvin Lee in concert in early 80s in South Florida. He was an excellent guitarist. God bless. Robert.
Love your reaction awesome thankyou 👍👍❤️❤️
Alvin Lee is regarded as the fastest guitarist ever.
I do believe humans are good in heart but are trained into waring hateful mind sets. It starts in the home with family. Super Great song btw.

An enless classic

Great reaction. I must say though I think the point was we are being fooled about the world issues. Same as it ever was.
leo lyons class bass player
TYA was pure FIRE live. Saw 'em 9 times. Yup, I'm old. :)
He’s saying “monopoly” he’s not saying “no, not poor me”. Great reaction btw:)
The guitarist, Alvin Lee, also shows out on "The Bluest Blues" from 1994 (in collaboration with George Harrison).
👍👍👍👍👍
I'm in my later stages of life now and unfortunately the world is not going to change
Do what you can but don't expect much
I like that you guys let the song play and you pick good ones.glad I found your channel
