Summary:
Extraordinary blues/rock guitarist Alvin Lee had already begun pursuing his solo career in earnest by the time he returned for the 28th and final U.S. tour of the original Ten Years After. Upon completion of the 1975 tour, TYA would split up and not return until a reunion was staged in 1989.
Although a cult fave, the band burst onto the world music scene after it appeared in the documentary film, Woodstock, one of whose highlights was the performance of "I'm Goin' Home" by Lee and the band. This show, recorded at Bill Graham's Winterland ballroom, opens with a rockin' (but incomplete) version of the band's radio hit, "Rock & Roll Music To The World." They follow it with one their classics, "Love Like A Man." Muddy Water's "Good Morning Little School Girl," is next, and leads to long and tasty slow blues.
A 20-minute version of "I Can't Keep From Crying Sometimes" is followed by a 12- minute but incomplete "I'm Going Home." After a souped-up version of Chuck Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen," Lee and the band close with two of their own hits: "Choo Choo Mama" and "Baby, Won't You Let Me Rock 'n' Roll You."
One of the biggest blues/rock acts on the planet between 1969 and 1974, Ten Years After could attribute their far reaching success to two things: Promoter Bill Graham and their appearance in the landmark music documentary Woodstock. Graham was among the earliest U.S. promoters to book the band, and he made them a staple act at both the Fillmore East and West, and of course, Winterland.
By the time this show was recorded. TYA had become primarily a vehicle for Alvin Lee's blistering guitar work, its songs comprised of equal parts rock, blues, and jazz. In 1972, the band would leave Decca Records (the label that signed them in 1967), and move to Columbia's corporate home. Columbia would take the band in a more radio friendly/pop driven direction (hence, the hit single "I'd Love To Change The World"). Frustrated with the popular music trend, Alvin Lee left the band, which disbanded soon after the second Columbia release in 1975.
The original lineup made one reunion LP and did one more tour in 1988/89 before disbanding again. In 2003, Ric Lee assembled the group again, although Alvin would not participate. He was replaced by guitarist Joe Gooch, and the band is still recording and touring today.
Alvin Lee gets a lot of credit for Ten Years After....and absolutely rightfully so....but Leo Lyons is a madman on the bass and deserves a lot of recognition too.
Agree!
they rocked, man did they rock, old times are far gone never forgotten
Rock and roll; the language of our youth. What a beautiful thing.
Always at the top of his game! second to absolutely no one ! You are missed Alvin!
HE S A REAL LEGEND OF ROCK N ROLL, PROBABLY MY BEST
He could hang with any one out there. No Grammy's no rock and roll hall of bull; crap
ALVIN FREAKIN lEE so good,, put this man and TYA in the hall of fame
One of the greatest freaking rocking blues player we ever had the pleasure to hear. i saw them play a bunch of times and never tired of hearing them. Not once. Alvin and Co had the place jumpin' from the first note to the last and left them begging for more.
Taken from us far too soon. I can see there would have been a resurgence for them in the last 10 years or so along with all the other great bands of the 70s. Damn I miss Alvin. Thank the gods for all the music he left behind.
One of the best guitarists ever,but for sure had the greatest guitar face ever!!!
and his mouth an mimik moved and showed his inner reflections
The one and only Alvin Lee - absolutely unstoppable.

Fantastique démonstration du talent de musicien d'AlVIN LEE et ses musiciens hors normes bravo messieurs
How are these guys not in the R&R HOF?????
My Mother gave me the album,"Rock and Roll Music To The World", for my fifteenth birthday in 1972. 'Choo-choo Mama' was one of my favorite songs. Amazing, how all of those albums and songs are like mile markers in life!
God I loved this band...no holds barred ROCK!!
Alvin Lee would have been 75 today.They recorded this on 1972's Rock and Roll Music to the World.They formed the band in 1966,10 years after Elvis released Heartbreak Hotel.
...
great guitar player...great band
Alvin was so far ahead of every on when it came to rocking this world..
Jeff Beck is there also. 2 different styles
Ck. out his solo album Alvin Lee In Tennessee. Sweet...
Saw these guys three times they were absolutely phenomenal
Two of the best - Alvin Lee and Jeff Beck.... 🎸🎵🎶🇬🇧
You gotta be shittin' me! Some of the best blues based rock and only 123 views!
+shcaskey It's gone up a little but not enough. When that idiot Boober get hundreds of millions of hits you know you are seeing the decline of western civilization.
some of us would rather hear the studio version. :)
And some of us wouldn't.
Not very good sound quality due to whatever. The video made years later with 9-inch Nails has much better sound quality.
MR ALVIN LEE THE BEST GUITARIST FROM MY 14 YEARS OLD ......THIS IS A LONG TIME...R.I.P. M'Y IDOL ALVIN.JACKYFAN 👍THANKS TEN YEARS AFTER THIS LONG LIFE YOUR SUCCÈS ARE INTACT.. .....
One of the best. Jeff Beck is definitely top. Two different styles

I'm 62 and it's always been a hard hit every time one of my Rock heroes has died(Gary Thain, Terry Kath, Ronnie Van Want, ect). But the ones that seem so much harder to grasp, for me, have been Lonesome Dave of Foghat, Peter Steele of Type O Negative and Alvin Lee. Especially, Alvin Lee. I'm still floored by that one.
Join IN! '64
Join IN 64
Rest In peace , Alvin - rock-n-roll guitarist extraordinaire
Alvin Lee--Pure EN-ER-GEE. RIP brother...
☀
All millenials should be required to watch this
Sadly I know millennial who plays 🎸 & doesn't know who Jeff Beck is ❗ I said to him " you play 🎸 and don't know who Jeff Beck is ❓ you are missing out on a lot ❗
I agree Sam Galicia from San Jose
Alvin was incredible....

30 mai 2022💐
Alvin!!!!
thanx !
Love!!! Love!!! Love!!!
First song of the day and does it get any better than Choo Choo Mama ❤
Lets just take yer heads off. Rock and roll music to the world indeed RIP Alvin lee.
The Rock and Roll Music to the World album is absolutely incredible. Such a shame the band split up after this.
Positive Vibrations was the last album before the split, not R&R Music to the World.
@@rockrecordreport7136 I know that. . It was done in1974. My poorly stated point was that the 1972 R&R Music to the World album was...in my opinion... the best one the band made
There is no one can play guitar as good then and now period.
I say say Rory would give him a go...but perfect can't beat perfect :)
Your right.
Alvin Lee was good but Jeff Beck is beyond on 🎸. Don't get me wrong the 2 best 🎸 🎵🎶 is Jeff Beck and Alvin Lee
Larry Carlton, Jay Graydon, John Scofield, Martin Taylor ? Come on, be serious.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
You’re my rock and roll hero Alvin baby!!✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼😘😘😘😘
💚💙💥💥💥
Love this band and song
bad ass
Love the guitar riff, especially at the beginning of the song. Got me thinking about some of Angus Young riffs.
Hall of. Fame is a crock , check out some of the untalented acts in the hall thus far, If I was T.Y.A. I would not bother to go even if they were going to be inducted .
Im 59 years old and i saw him in montreal in 1984 witn blackfoot on first part , great moment
Long Live Rocn, Roll
What a band!
The Best !
NICE AGAIN
Bela banda ficou na história
He often looked like he was being electrocuted by a short in the amps.
Alvin and Joe Walsh, best "guitar faces"...
Flying fingers

Saw him at spectrum in Philadelphia 1973 ....cold outside, hot in the arena
I'll be 69 soon
ALVIN LEE CAPT QUICK RIP YOU FUCKING ROCKED AND ALWAYS WILL
