  • Another day, another Woodstock video. Thank you to our patron Bruce D for this AWESOME pick. If the Santana video was meant for drummers, this one was meant for guitarists. My god. That was so ahead of it's time, it's not even funny. It felt Who-ish at points but not at others. Absolute shred fest.

      I am the asshole, the idiot, and the hater. I watch alot of reaction videos and there are certain videos that are the chopped versions and they get passed around to all the reactors which drives me mad and I finally snapped and took it out on this poor kid. The 2 most common videos is Ram Jams Black Betty which cuts out the whole guitar lead and Santana's Soul Sacrifice at Wood stock which cuts out MIcheal Shrives amazing drum solo. I also said in the same comment that this kid is doing a good job but he got offended and told me to pound sand. I still think he is a good kid and does a good job or should I say a better job after this full length video.🙂

      God had nothing to do with it. Hell, the hippies were hardly religious. No, Woodstock was filmed because it was a good business decision to do so.
      They certainly didn't earn any money from the festival itself, so making a film was a potential way of earning back their investments.

    Alvin Lee's adrenaline-fueled vintage blues and Fifties rock and roll, featuring lightning-fast fretwork and a full-on blues-rocking experience, is old-school jammin' at its best. Songs like
    Good morning, Little School Girl", "The Bluest Blues," "Turn Off The TV Blues', "Choo Choo Mama,' and "Rock and Roll Music To The World" are all amazing. He was one of the fastest
    guitarists in the world. RIP ALVIN - Thanks for playing Ten Years After; we old Dawgs in our mid-70s were all fans of the band.

    That is the ONE that many people don't play. They end up with the shorter edited version and miss all this. When Alvin Lee was introducing the song many people think that the song was written by "helicopter". That was an inside joke because the roads were blocked by thousands of abandoned cars and the only way groups were getting to the event was by helicopter. I was on the west coast and working after 4 years in the Navy when Woodstock happened. Good to hear this I'm now 78 years old and this takes me back. This is pure Rock 'n Roll!

It might be around 3-5°C, which is actually cooler than my fridge and my beer! :) Great performance as most of the Woodstock Festival!

    ALVIN LEE is one of the great guitar players of the 70s. The band kick-ass. Alvin Lee is a blues - soul - rock guirtist. LEO LYONS on bass,RIC LEE on drums, and CHICK CHURCHILL on keyboards.

    You're right about live performances not being like that anymore, Lee. This was on the edge, taking chances, with total commitment to the moment. I haven't seen anything like this since the 70s.

    I got turned on to Ten Years After by a slightly older friend when I would hang out at their place sometimes in junior high. And ultimately, within a year or so I became obsessed with them, I was so in love with it.
    I initially bought their A Space In Time album, which became iconic. How many times have I seen them sitting in a field of tall green grass on the cover of a record album in somebody's place; everybody seemed to have it. And yet by then it was already 6 years old I think.
    Then I worked my way forward and backward from there, and I just loved everything I heard.
    I think you would really really dig their massive hit from the early seventies, I'd Love to Change the World. It's just one of those amazing gems that just cuts across all boundaries. It was so incredibly popular and on the radio constantly and we always played it on records whenever we could. I bet you would really have a great reaction, and I would definitely go for the audio track, since that's what we all heard and that's what we all played on the records, and for the time, the production on that thing is fantastic and it was mostly Alvin Lee and another guy. And by the way all four of those guys had played together for years and years including almost more jazz type stuff early and they've always been so good. And it seems like on some of the older stuff, you actually get more of a sense of the chops of the drums and bass and piano, but they are always evident all the time. Those guys were so amazingly tight together.

    Corky Laing -- best known as drummer for MOUNTAIN and WEST, BRUCE AND LAING -- received a gold record for this song, even though he wasn't at Woodstock. The story is that the drum mics on Ric Lee's drums malfunctioned and the producers of the film, WOODSTOCK, approached Corky to dub in drums onto the soundtrack. Laing wasn't even aware he was eligible for a gold record for his work until it arrived at his door. Even odder, he also received a gold record for the song FOR YASGER'S FARM performed by Leslie West/Mountain (prior to Corky joining MOUNTAIN). Seems Felix Pappalardi took a song Corky has co-written, tweaked it into FOR YASGER'S FARM, and Corky received a second unexpected gold record as co-writer of the song.

      @Joeh1154 6 месяцев назад

      Mountain (and Corky) did indeed play a set at Woodstock. Though they weren't on the first album, there is a second Woodstock album that has Mountain on it. "For Yasgur's Farm" is on the first "Mountain" album (as is Corky), not Leslie's solo album named "Mountain."

      @@Joeh1154 Yes, MOUNTAIN that appeared at Woodstock is an uncertain version of the band because N. D. SMART III was playing drums, Laing had not joined yet. The original version of FOR YASGUR'S FARM was from Corky's previous band, ENERGY: "Energy consisted of George Gardos (bass and vocals), Gary Ship (lead vocals, organ and electronic piano), and Corky (drums and vocals). By this time, the guys were writing a lot of their own material and Energy was starting to get recognized in the NYC music scene also. They recorded an album with Felix Pappalardi producing, but in the turmoil of Corky leaving the band to join Mountain, those tracks were lost.* The search for them goes on to this day. The only recording of Energy is from a live show in Nantucket at the end of the summer of 1969. The gig was recorded on a reel-to-reel tape.** While the quality of these recordings is not great, they have considerable historical value as they include versions of “Mississippi Queen” and “For Yasgur’s Farm” before those became Mountain songs***. “For Yasgur’s Farm” was originally called “Who Am I But You and the Sun”, but to honor the farmer who allowed his land to be used for the Woodstock Festival, Felix changed the name of the song."

    Very cool to see a young Man listening to TYA. I was 13 in 1969 and although I didn't get to Woodstock, My older Sister took me to the premiere of the movie and it just blew my mind. A slight correction though...While Alvin Lee was playing some killer riffs here, the guitar video from Woodstock would be Jimi Hendrix playing the Star Spangled Banner which is shown toward the end of this movie, IMO. Keep it going my friend. Best to all.

    16yr old me went to see Alvin Lee in Chicago.
    Came out with same guitar.
    Base player had a wild double neck bass.
    This song was great.
    But later the bass solo was so memorable that I can still remember it.
