R.I.P. Alvin Lee. One of the greatest guitarists of all time
Fastest fingers in the west.
Absolutely his sound was incredible so haunting this song.
The master of two guitar solos in every song. Lee was a guitar god. We could sure use his music today. Pax vobiscum, Mr. Lee.
Proud to say that I saw Ten Years After in concert (1973). Alvin Lee was the man.
I agree
Alvin Lee's & Ten Years After's performance at Woodstock is a must listen and video. "I'm Going Home"
Heli-copter!
love that one
YES PLEASE!
Absolutely also "Hey Little School Girl"
Unbelievable speed on the Guitar, Alvin Lee RIP.
Amen. The best live performance I’ve ever seen. Stay for the watermelon 🍉.
This is one of the most iconic rock songs from the Vietnam War era, it’s been used in countless movies and 📺 shows.
Back in the day, this was more of an anthem than just another song for us. God, I miss those days more than ever now.
I know this will provoke an instant "ok boomer" reaction from some, but this is one of those songs it's so hard to believe hasn't been heard before given how pleasantly burned it will forever be in my memory. I'm so pleased that you and others of your generation are discovering how great music used to be especially during the late 60's and early 70s. Rock on.
I hear you brother. Etched in my heart.
don't EVER apologize for being a boomer. we did it all, things these kids only dream of : )
@@deborahpaley21 You are sooo right....even today with computer they would never do as it was back then....the vibes
There's a what certain people would call a homophobic slur in this song. When Alvin says "Dykes and fairies, where is sanity?".
Nah, as a Gen Z, I appreciate all music opinions from older generations. Music is made generationally after all.
Tremendous song. Alvin Lee absolutely wears this song out.
The one and only alvin Lee sleep well dude .ten years after one of the most underrated bands ever.
Rock and Roll Music to the World to me their greatest album. I still have a copy of the album.
My dad passed his record collection to me... This was included... Immaculate condition... Amazing
This is a landmark song. One of my top five faves.
Bluest blue - a MUST. Out of this world.
Ten Years After featuring the great Alvin Lee! I was fortunate enough to see Alvin Lee Band back in 1982 opening for Black Sabbath. Absolutely Incredible Guitarist! Thanks for the reaction.
What a show that must have been! WOW!
@@vicprovost2561 It was AWESOME!
Me too, in '81.
@@kenbarton2920 That's when I saw them...November of '81.
@@mr.mojorisin1616 Cool. I was working the ski lifts at Crystal Mtn, SE of Seattle. while driving into Enumclaw to cash my check when I heard on the radio Alvin Lee was doing a show in Downtown Seattle that evening, so after I cashed my check I kept driving to Seattle & saw the show.
The incredible guitar work by Alvin Lee makes this song instantly recognizable. A couple of movies you may have seen that used this were Tropic Thunder and Suicide Squad. There are probably many others as well as this was a very iconic Viet Nam protest song.
More of an anti-protest song -- saying "We are just the singers in a rock in roll band, don't expect us to have the answers"
@@fewwiggle the message kind of reminds me of “Human”, “Don’t blame me, I’m only human after all”, by Rag and Bone Man.
@fewwiggle
No you just missed the entire point of the song. Its not an anti protest song. The song is saying theres a lot of bad stuff in the world and he would love to change it but doesnt know how. He doesnt have the talent for it. Hes not a world changer. Its pretty obvious in the lyrics.
"Id love to change the world
But i dont know what to do
So ill leave it up to you
Stop the war
Tax the rich
Feed the poor
Til there are no rich no more"
Its a feeling of helplesness as well after all the bad shit in the 60s and the 70s And also how he explained it in an interview with Vintage Rock. By no means does it mean anti-protest
@@kassandrayuen8131 Yes, I got all that. But it is certainly closer to being "anti-protest" (as in "there's no point in me, the singer, protesting") versus being a anti-war/Vietnam protest song.
@@fewwiggle Absolutely not. It IS an anti vietnam and anti war song. And its not nowhere near anti-protest. He would like to fix the shit he mentioned but dont really know how and he cant, but hopes someone will. And good luck to them. Stop twisting their meaning to fit your narrative.

R&F: Great songs here ("I'd love to change the world", "Over The Hill") - Do you realise "I'd love to..." has turned into a peace anthem these days ? The peace sign was on your guitar - were you into that "make love not war thing" ? Had it anything to do you with the fact you were playing the USA a lot at a time when the anti-Vietnam war thing was going on ??
AL: Yes, Yes and yes. I was totally involved in all that and very frustrated that I could not do anything about it hence the words I’d Love to Change The World but I don’t know what to do, so I’ll leave it up to you…… and the best of luck.
ARGENT "HOLD YOUR HEAD UP"..AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC..TRUTH.
Liar, Thunder And Lightning
I agree. Hard to believe these kids have not heard these songs, because we all have heard the tunes in movies, TV ads, etc. Classic rock lives on, however we keep it alive.....
OMG. I love this and I love you guys hearing this. Soooo awesome. Peace, Love, Rock&Roll!
goddamn i wish i could hear music of this caliber for the first time again .
Never tire of this song and I am 63. Iconic.
I am almost 60 yo. I grew up in Norway with this music presented from my 2 older brothers. Ten Years After has always been a part of my childhood and after. Together with Little Feat and Jimi Hendix. True Legends all of those bands 50 years ago. Love from Norway!
This song is ICONIC!
Gen Z listening here to some REAL music, enjoy there youngsters
I grew up in the 60 s and 70 s and this song is one of my all time favorite s. Love your videos
This song has the epitome of what I call the "hippie rock" sound. Love it 😊
There's music made everyday and great music but once in a while we're presented with masterpieces.
Yeah! 10 Years after I’m Going Home would be awesome as well. Take me right back to Woodstock!
Alvin Lee is definitely near the top of my list of best concerts. He does some amazing blues.
The song was inspired by "the concert for Bangladesh", a pair of concerts organized by George Harrison to raise awareness and relief funds for refugees fleeing the Civil War in East Pakistan.
Lyrics aside, that guitar vacillates between begging and crying! These guys spoke to the angst of seeing us misuse our world on a daily basis.
Ten Years After. "Let. The. Sky. Fall" You won't be disappointed! Glad to see that you can appreciate the music I grew up with. It's timeless, for sure! Thank you!
Excellent suggestion!
I've always loved this song. Thanks!
Their Woodstock performance was a highlight of the festival. And a treat for guitar 🎸lovers.
This was from the bands 6th album "A Space In Time", their most commercial and successful to that date. They were primarily a blues oriented band up to this point! The name for the band was in reference to Elvis - They started playing under the name "Ten Years After because it was taht long after Elvis's most successful year 1956. Alvin Lee was a big Elvis fan.
One of the great albums of my youth every song is awesome🥰🥰
Here#s some more TYA~
"I'm Going Home" Woodstock
@One of Thesae Days"
"No Title" (That's the song's name)
"50,000 Miles Beneath my Brain"
This song is simply epic, and like the majority of 70s tunes, it's stood the test of time, and is still relevant or popular today. The mid 1960s through 1970s... hands down the best years, musically.
If you take the 16 year period from 1964 to 1980 and look at the volume of incredible music that was put out it is mind boggling.
Wow... I have this on vinyl from 1971... My dad loved them... Good stuff
A great band, one of my favourites. They have a terrific catalogue which you should delve into.
The Youngbloods and specifically Get Together should definitely be on your list to check out as well as Darkness Darkness.
In 1970, went to a concert to see Ten Years After. As a guitar player, Alvin Lee was a hero. First band, the warm up, was Yes. The J Geils Band was next up and then the Maestro topped off an incredible night of music. Those were the days...like going to see ELP on their first American tour (really loved Keith's band called 'The Nice') at the Hollywood Bowl and the warm up was Edgar Winter with Rick Derringer (Frankenstein) the middle was Humble Pie with Peter Frampton, then Emerson, Lake and Palmer! What an amazing era for music. Keep up the good work. Peace & love, Uncle Brother
Mathew K . Miss those days ! Went to a lot of concerts but I could have gone to a lot more. Kind of took it for granted.
Alvin Lee was known as the "fastest gun" out there. He could play notes extremely fast with great tone & accuracy in perfect time. He also had a pretty good voice. His band was really good & they did a good job in "keeping up with him". The song is in E Minor which is like a first cousin to the key of G.
I’m Going Home, especially the live version from Woodstock.
1971 was an unbelievable year in music, your show could cover this year entirely 😁... what an amazing song, I loved it the first time I heard it, around the same time I got into Yes... and A Space In Time is a classic album... also check out Rock and Roll Music To The World, Standing At The Station in particular, you’ll love it ... well done guys ✌️❤️🇦🇺😎
Rob Currie: 1968 to 1974, 75 was a great time for music. Thank's to you tube I've been checking out albums from bands in that time period that I didn't even know existed. Some are really good !!!
1971 was my touchstone year for music - most of the bands of their time did some of their best work then. Let's look at some of the albums:
Who's Next, Sticky Fingers, Led Zeppelin IV, Fragile AND the Yes Album, Aqualung, Four Way Street, Grateful Dead ("Skull and Roses"), Electric Warrior, Tapestry, Meddle, Thirds, Tupelo Honey, The Cry Of Love AND Rainbow Bridge, The Low Spark Of High-Heeled Boys, Blue, L.A. Woman, Pearl, Rock On AND Performance: Rockin' The Fillmore, Rough And Ready, Nursery Cryme, Free ... Live, Love It To Death AND Killer, Santana III, Blue, Look At Yourself, Every Picture Tells A Story, Imagine, E Pluribus Funk AND Survival, Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, Hunky Dory, Straight Up, Master Of Reality, Fireball, Madman Across The Water AND 17-11-70, What's Going On, At Fillmore East, Moving Waves, American Pie, Teaser And The Firecat, The Thrill Is Gone, Pendulum, . . .
Okay, I cheated - I have all this at my fingertips because I'm currently building a "1971" playlist (my third). But that doesn't make my point any less valid - 1971 was a kick-ass year.
I have been listening to this song/ album since I was 10 years old. I will be 58 this year and still rock out to this awesome album. Glad you guys both liked it you have great taste in music.
So much to love about this song. Great choice. By the way, this is an example of a kind of super band. Great individual artists. Keep up the great work on the channel.
One of the greatest riff tunes ever. Space in Time is one of my favorite albums. Saw 'em in 1972, Bangor, Maine. Alvin Lee was also a master of ledgedermain, he'd be playing his guitar and he'd be pulling flowers from out of nowhere, he'd mess with the mike and pull out all kinds of stuff, just what one needed to deal with whilst tripping one's ass off, goddamn, could he play the guitar, what a show...p.s. you gotta hear them do I'm Going Home at Woodstock. And Soul Sacrifice by Santana!
Saw them in El Paso 1971. What a concert, still in my head-BAM
The acoustic parts also remind me of Greg Lake's playing in ELP.
Yes, they just listed to "from the beginning" by ELP. Very similar on the acoustic.
Like from Lucky Man
From the album A Space In Time. Incredible album.
Very lucky to be young in the best era of rock and all other kinds of music, saw TYA 4 times in Italy
A great classic song , stands even for today even though it's 50 years old
Alvin Lee!!! Became a household name when they debuted at Woodstock.. mind blowing energy and the guitar mastery and epic performer! I had the privilege of seeing him in the early 80’s at a local pub that would feature big names from time to time. Nothing compares to being in such a intimate up close connection witnessing greatness occur! Lol
Do yourself a favor and watch the Woodstock performance!! 🎼👊✌️❤️
This is the first song I’d teach my students when they were ready to advance to
bass runs and chord changes. A Classic among classics. 🎸
I remember hearing this when it first came out. Great Song.
Incredible song that will live on for decades!more!
You need to see this music in a historical perspective. Contrast the music from the late 60's early 70's with music from the 40's and 50's. Early rock music was a dramatic shift from what came before. That's what truly gives it relevance. It all was amazingly new, and changed the course of music.
Alvin Lee was a monster on guitar. One of the best concerts I've ever attended.
I think it was in Good Morning Vietnam !!!!! That whole soundtrack is awesome... Great cut have not heard this in a while!!!
Hey Nick N Lex. Having 5 older brothers and always wanting to do what ever they were I got to hear a lot of 60's and 70's rock growing up. I remember hearing this for the first time. Great song and I knew Nick would like Alvin Lee's guitar work. I'm glad you both enjoyed the song. Keep up the good work. "KEEP MUSIC ALIVE".
Lord!!!! Music was soooo much better in the late 60's and early 70's
Alvin was just tremendous. Passed away not that long ago , and was really a major force in blues -driven ,late sixties rock n roll...Try "One of these Days " or his version of "Good morning little schoolgirl ."
How relevant is this song the way things are now?! Amazing 😎
This was always a treat when it came on the radio in the 80’s
One of the soundtracks of my youth. Saw them live, Alvin Lee is one of the best guitarists of his era.
This album is AMAZING A Space in Time
My favorite song
Heard it on the school bus when I was about 6 years old.
This and space oddity.
Nice guys.
Alvin Lee blew away people at Woodstock. One of the fastest leads you will hear with not a missed or slurred note when he plays. The leads are almost organic for him, a lot like David Gilmore.
Thanks To both of you for the mention. Ten Years After is one of my favorite bands. I think you will like more of their songs.
First stanza may be one of the best ever written!
Great song, still pertinent today. Saw them in the early 70s - the most electrifying concert I've experienced. Alvin Lee was a fantastic blues/rock guitarist, and the band was excellent. Check out some of 10YA's old live videos.
The first concert I ever went to was Ten Years After in Long Beach, California, it was in 1975, the opening act was Gary Wright followed by Slade, and the Ten Years After. I also saw Alvin Lee with his new band Ten Years Later in 1978 in Saarbruken, Germany.
Off the subject... A song that popped into my mind is "Whiskey Train"' by Procol Harem. It features Robin Trower, who was their guitarist.
As others have said, Alvin Lee is great, he was once known as the fastest guitar player, but he also had melody and soul in his playing
The blend of acoustic and electric. Is great.
They were a great band worth checking out their contribution on WOODSTOCK
Fit perfectly in Britannia. Change the world but I don’t know what to do….that song was perfect for the plot. I’ll have to look up the movie don’t know
I was lucky enough to see Alvin Lee twice. The second time was in a bar. THAT was fecking awesome.
Epic song and great band one of my favorites bands of blues Rock great reaction 👍
Such an excellent choice ! A few other reactors have covered it, but I’m always ready for another listen. BTW, I once inquired about that trippy effect on the chorus vocals and a guy left a comment about the “Leslie speaker” - an invention from the 1930’s. They set a mike in front of one of those to get that cool sound. Wikipedia even has a photo of one in a transparent case so you can see the inner parts.
Turns out this song was used as a cell phone commercial in Greece. Hi , enjoyed your reactions.
Ssssh album by Ten Years After,....every song is GOLD!!!!
I soooooo much loved growing up to this music
He was from Nottingham, England. My town.we love everybody.
the 70s had so many songs about and against the Vietnam war. I did a tour and thankfully came home to enjoy the most amazing music that came out of the 70s. the music that changed the world
Great song.
Also, your intro greeting “hi everyone” your voice has such a beautiful welcoming tone to it. Another cool reaction vid you two.
Alvin Lee...great rock & blues guitarist and once known as rock's fastest axeman. Check out the band's killer live performance of "I'm Goin' Home" at Woodstock (1969) and there's a b&w film of them performing "Good Mornin' Little Schoolgirl" that not only highlights Alvin Lee, but you also get a good gander at one of Rock/Blues most manic bassists. Both very worth checking out.
The album this song is on " A Space In Time " is excellent !!!
There once was a guitarist that could shred and write songs! R.I.P Alvin Lee
When this album came out the recording industry was experimenting with Quadraphonic sound. This was one of the few albums recorded with the technique. An older brother of my friend returned from Viet Nam and brought home from Japan the specialist stereo equipment that was needed for the new format. It was absolutely mind blowing to hear and experience. It didnt go over very well because it was very expensive to own the equipment and to record with in the studio. I recommend that you should watch the film Woodstock, a 3 day music festival with aprox 500,000 people in attendance, and you will see Ten Years After playing an epic rock tune called Going Home. The lead guitarist and vocalist Alvin Lee will absolutely blow you away! Check it out.
A song that is very relevant today. Prophetic
Another iconic, wonderful British band :-)
Another childhood favorite 🙏🏽✌🏽🌎🌍🌏♥️
Undead, technically the band's second album, was a live album but contains "Going Home" that would become famous in their Woodstock performance.
I love you guy's showing enthusiasm for a by gone era - the era that I grew up in. The Vietnam War was the backdrop for everything in the 1960s. The Vietnam War was designed to be unwinable from the beginning by our own government. Rich peoples kids were able to evade the draft, but working class and poor people were forced into the draft. This was the meaning of “Fortunate Son”. Creedence gave us a musical backdrop for much about what was wrong with the Vietnam War that you will hear when listening to “Fortunate Son”. The Ed Sullivan Show was a variety show that was still pretty straight laced and conservatively based, as much of America also was in the late 50s through the early 60s. The performers that had early exposure by performing on the Ed Sullivan show was truly remarkable. CCR (Creedence Clearwater Revival) came on and sang “Fortunate Son”, a radical move in those days as it expressed the frustration with the Vietnam War from a working class perspective, delivered to a staid (conservative) audience.
There was a growing divide forming in that era between those who believed in a traditional version of America as a beacon of light, hope, and shining integrity sitting on a hill, with the hippies over on another hill (stoned and wandering in a forest actually), a growing feminist movement on another hill (bitter, angry, anti male and anti heterosexuality, and grousing about in a swamp actually). In the middle were the people that wanted to believe in the American government as something noble, which was beginning to tarnish a bit when President Kennedy was murdered, Dr. Martin Luther King and Presidential candidate Bobby Kennedy were murdered, Walter Cronkite went to Vietnam and reported that the American people were being lied to about the Vietnam war, and racial tensions were high. Things were changing quickly and Watergate, the Pentagon Papers, and spotty, suspiciously disinterested, and highly partisan investigations regarding these three key assassinations were forcing more and more people to choose a side.
The music of the late 60s and early 70s was quite diverse as musicians were exploring pot and acid (marijuana and LSD), eastern religion, and with the advent of birth control, sex was starting to be seen as no big deal. You also had Motown, soul, and more straight laced (Americana) musicians like the Carpenters and Elvis Presley. There is an anti war, pro spirituality theme in a lot of music from that era, as well as increasingly expressed frustrations about wanting to return to a world of hope, peace, and love. Listen to Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On”, Coven’s “One Tin Soldier”, and Three Dog Night’s “Shambhala” to get a better idea.
A list of the other notable bands that benefitted from early exposure on the Ed Sullivan Show included; The Carpenters, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Neil Diamond, Santana, Simon And Garfunkel, Stevie Wonder, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Byrds, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, and many others.
They named themselves "10 Years After" because they formed 10 years after Elvis's emergence as a rock phenomenon.
I am 75 and in my 20s when I was high all the time this was one of my bands. Alvin Lee played at Woodstock and was considered one of the top guitar players in rock and did pass away awhile back.
As the Jaybirds they were the band that took the place of the Beatles in Hamburg. Alvin was friends with George Harrison since then. He played slide on Alvin's Bluest Blues one of the best blues songs ever.
Esto es una pasada ,fantastico, marvilloso , Magico
One of the first tapes recorded in quad. The sounds are distinct and layered. Trippy
Ten Years After!💪🏻💪🏻 RIP Alvin Lee!🥲
Great band and Alvin played guitar! Could sing as well!😎✌🏻
This was the best era of rock period :) imho i love seeing the younger generations experiencing and enjoying!
They called this guy "Captain speed fingers" now you know why.
Good song. Good reaction. Stay peaceful.
This is a epic song that should be listened to all the way through. THEN need I say it, Repeat Repeat Repeat!
TEN YEARS AFTER, "I LOVE TOO CHANGE THE WORLD"... ONE OF THOSE TOP 15 SONGS OF ALL TIME... GUITARIST ALVIN LEE AND LEAD SINGER... RECENTLY PAST... AWAY. CONSIDERED WON OF THE BEST BLUES PLAYER.
