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.
Among the many things I LOVE about Alvin Lee, even beyond his amazing artistry, was his integrity, and the fact that he shunned the fame and the big money, and walked away from TYA when the record labels started to demand more "commercially" acceptable material from him. So, he said later days, if I can't make the music I want to make with the big record labels, I'll just do my own thing without them...and started his own record label and recording studio. My favorite song in the entire world, ever since I first heard it in 1972 when I was 13 year old boy, , was and is and always will be: "Convention Prevention"!!! I have always tried to be true, authentic and true, and still strive to be that today, all these years later... I was devoted to that idea prior to hearing this amazing song, but the fact the Alvin wrote this, after his own heart's desire to be authentic and true, made me love this guy so much! I wept when he died...and still can't believe he is gone! Godspeed, Alvin!
ALVIN was a gift from god. NO1. /R.I.P./ Cheers.
I was blessed to have 3 older sisters with great taste in music!! Tons of great music Albums. I was 11 or 12 when this album came out.
I was 13 year old in 1972 also...The man was a Guitar God!...Acknowledging his contemporary's of that time is inspiring...Who listens to 20 minute songs these days?...Feel bad for today's generation they will never understand true guitar wizardry...Boy, were we lucky!
I'm 70 and was so spoiled. Saw tya about 6 or 7 times. Never boring brother. Alvin and Leo!!! Always made my way to the front of the stage to watch the fastest hands in the business
a h o l e.........sorry sheer jealousy talking.
69 here...
71 here
Ok i am 65 years old now, never heard of this band. I am very proud to have heard him tonight and am gona finish listening to this. He is really on top of his game!
Dude! Never heard love to change the world on the radio? They wore that song out.
@@georgeboise5311 no , I am from south east Alabama. Never heard it played on any of our radio stations. thanks for the reply. Hope all is well with you and your friends and family. ☮️❤️
You missed out, bro, but it's never too late!!
The only guitarist that could talk to and with his guitar. What a fantastic musician. What a magical set of fingers. He made love to his guitar. REST IN PEACE.
He played ONE guitar and not one petal.
Those were the days …. A 3 minute song turns into a 20 minute masterpiece. I really miss the days of the great guitarist. Alvin was one of the very best.
Heard of jam bands?
He was an incredible guitarist, one of my favorites
I'm always completely blown away how truly great musicians make it look easy! Alvin Lee was a true master! Watch carefully people this man was truly gifted! R.I.P. MR LEE!
Alven lee wax a betters player gitars and rock blues
Alvin Lee was, without a doubt, one of the most sophisticated guitarists to ever step on a stage! Just witness his playing in this video...incredible! Oh yeah, his singing wasn’t too bad, either.
Good way to pass Time in these Crazy Times Were Living 👊
As Ginger Baker would say "He had TIME." It is wired in great musicians.
its the chords no doubt
It's been 2 years since Alvin Lee passed away. I lost my father on the same day, March 6 of 1985. He was also 68... God Bless Them
i saw him in the early 80's i didnt know he died in 1985 , i saw him in Louisiana in the early 80's ,that must have been his last tour? do you know what happened to him ..any one ? ...
he died in 2013 at age 68
thanx for the info other guy said 1985 ,so he died in 2013 ...
he must have meant, the same day, March 6, not the same year.
I'm 64 and saw him in 72 in Dayton Ohio. Being a guitarist he blew my young mind and to this day have never been more entertained, excited , and lucky to witness that level of talent. What a beautiful day.
Everything about this is class, the soul and musicality, it’s so grounded in knowledge and experience of blues and jazz... flamboyant yet tasteful. Beautiful guitar tone, great vocals. This was the product of immense personal talent and a totally unique era, the like of which never to be seen again.
I think no one really can match thus virtuoso I seen him once in 79 April in a collage autatoriu. Was seed first on lime se never got a chance go use our tickets wad got pusded threw the old wooden French food antiques by the roady cross that's whoa excited kids weird for this legend his music wAd unco.parrble and he could lie anyo Dunaway oroblelt eve only nlackmird and Hendricks maybe lsdlue on a good day depending how many knidhd and burgers he ate at coney isle it Rees he park be h o l y kidding I love mountain too as my h as Alvin and ten jommmt winter could ho all nite too
@@tonyischotter3360 i nearly had a heart attack trying to make sense of this comment. Has the acid worn off yet?
That's Alvin Lee and I was blessed to have seen Alvin Lee and Ten Years After June 16, 1974. I've seen a LOT of great bands, the management announced it was going to be too late for the headliner Ten Years After to play. Blue Oyster Cult was tearing it up with Don't Fear The Reaper. Everyone booed them off the stage and I have always felt kinda bad about it. We would have LOVED to have seen them too but it was Alvin Lee we bought tickets to see. He was rated the fastest guitar player on the planet. I don't know why I remember the date, maybe because we were mean to BCO.
@@tonyischotter3360 Yes ma'am,you hit it right on the nail head, for certain-as ever was(to be sure).
@@izasana47 I would rather see early BOC than TYA.
A CLASSIC MASTERPIECE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'VE HAD THE FULL TEN YEARS AFTER COLLECTION SINCE I WAS 14 YEARS OLD, BEFORE THAT FLEETWOOD MAC FULL COLLECTION. AND SO ON AND SO ON.
He is putting on a clinic on how to play the guitar.
in these days of isolation I listen to ten jears after that keep me in high spirits especially alvin lee i saw him many years ago in milan where they represented WATT they were veterans of woodstock nice themes with the course students i said that alvi was the best rock blues guitarist better by clapton jymmy page i still support it viva italia battered by covid 19
I saw him Paris May 1974.
Lo vidi a Bolzano nel ...lontano 73 o 74 ,per l'occasione mi ero stinto i jeans con la candeggina (così si usava...) ma si aprirono letteralmente in un punto,,,,strategico: così passai il concerto con le mani giunte! Comunque incredibile prestazione.Ero a 5 6 metri dal palco a fotografare ma poi rimasi parecchi giorni con un fischio terribile alle orecchie...Peccato che in questa performance gli cali sempre il mi cantino.Comunque un ricordo indelebile.
U can beat zis pLayer
I was there. One of my favorite of many Winterland concerts that I attended.
Just an awesome display of techniques including octaves, atonal tapping, sweep picking, violin style lines, use of dynamics, otherworldly speed, double stops, vicious slides and pulls again at break neck speed, string lowering and all done with a great deal of showmanship not to mention soulful vocals. Folks this is 1975. Hard to believe as it foreshadows a lot of what became modern guitar technique and shredding. The tempi of tunes like Woodchopper's Ball and Going Home played live predates much of the technically driven stuff we today hear people playing against backing tracks here on RUclips. And not even included in Rollingstone ragazine top 100 guitar players. Great post. Rest my case. R.I.P. Alvin.
Amen brother! I was fortunate to T.Y.A. in Chicago in the eighties!
I always had three favorites, Rory Gallagher, Peter Green and Alvin Lee.
Two are dead and one is out of his mind.
never did give that mag-rag much credence any way...
@@lesterpaul9657 very sad isn't it
@@lesterpaul9657 My three favorites of all time too!!! Now Peter is gone too.☹️
I've said before,the way that guy played that guitar,he was unique man😂
No runs, no hits, and NO ERRORS! The man who played faster than his own shadow!
Can't help watching this
Leo Lyons...Unndoutably one the best bass players EVER... Amazing solo...kept up with Alvin all the way...
Leo and Angus Young would have to be related somewhere along the line I think.
If anyone ever had more fun playing bass than Leo Lyons I've never seen em.
One of the best
Einfach nur großartig. Ein Genuss für die Sinne🙂☀
Leo!!! The King of
Bass!!! Bad+Ass=Bass
He’s actually adjusting the tuning of his guitar while playing. Respect
Much more diverse in his sound I love it ❤
Saw him many many times!!! It really is crazy how good he was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eff you!!! Just my sheer jealousy getting the best of me. Please understand this.
great guitar - Alvin for ever
Alvin Lee, 1944-2013, The World's Most Underrated Guitarist!
Here are twenty minutes telling why ...
He was a guitar savant.
Disagreed - Alvin Lee was NOT underrated - no way...!
Whoever the camera man is on this concert should be given an award, finally we can see what the artist is doing on the frets of the guitar instead of just seeing their face - those who work the cameras at concert should take lessons from this person!
most off them are shitty
Amen!
I got to see him once.
What a bass player
When Alvin Lee passed on the only mention that I heard or read on any news source was a brief clip on the BBC. That made me a little sad that one of the greatest rock and roll guitarists of all time did not seem to rate being recognized by the news.
Same with gary moore
That is really SAD...😢 He was the best
He was awesome!
I heard it here in Michigan. Sad day.
I saw Alvin in the 60's. at Eel pie island Twickenham with many of the best bands of the time and he was a knockout player, he greatly impressed me and many others, an all time great musician.
A. Cotterell
The summary of this video is crap. "The band still tours today." TYA without Alvin Lee is like the Jimi Hendrix Experience without Jimi.
I have read many of the comments and tributes to TYA the only thing there is for me to say is Thank you to TYA for such amazing tracks, my youngling is now the new generation of TYA fans. This is one of the greatest bands that is largely forgotten sadly.
Great music-even 100 years after!! RIP,Alvin Lee.
Just listen to this guy he is remarkable he is one of the best guitarist I ever heard there will never be another Alvin why don’t we hear more of him now so sad this genius is no longer with us😥❤️✌🏼
Never. Ever gets "Old" Listening to The Master of His Pride and Joy..RIP Mr. Lee. You Always Bring Joy to Me, ALWAYS. Thomas.
I agree, ALVIN IS GOD. R.I.P 🍉
Amazing era
WOW!!!! Who is the bass player??? He sure can rock that bass!!! Alvin Lee was just the BEST!!!! This video is just fantastic!!!!! Don't know why he isn't acknowledged for his Great playing... He was THAT GOOD!!!!!
Thats Leo Lyons smokin that Fender bass
Wow! A 20 minute clinic on what is possible with a guitar. No pedals, just plug the guitar into the amp and play. Alvin is just the best.
AMEN !!!!Where the heck have I been????
Alvin was amazing but The Master was and always will be Jimi.
There are plenty of bends and slides, though, not to mention the heavy and light touches.
@@saltoncityhobo we listened to the recorded live album weeks, because we not buy too much records when we 14 or 15, so we listened one album intensively, like deep purple made in japan, frank zappa roxy and elsewhere, pink floyd ummagumma, yessongs, and black sabbath, james gang, king crimson, Hawkwind, and so on. The good old days, thx for uploading. I have all this records on Vinyl. And a few hundreds more....
Love his skill but like all Rock Gods they think everyone is a musician and want to
Thanks for taking me back to high school!!!!
played guitar myself 40years never quite knew why my dad who played himself and was a contender when i was in nappies,said alvin lee was the best guitarist he ever saw,or was it from any,,,,this video shows what a performance alvin puts in,and like a comment below says, without effects,just raw talent and that old saying"making the guitar talk"
so yer RIP alvin your made your mark
10:40 hardest working bass player. Inspired to do more, because Alvin was so good, I sense.
Alvin my all time fav guitar player.
One of the Best players ever I Miss you My Friend
For me he's up there with the 2 Jimm'is & Gary & Richie & Tony
Recorded live is the 2nd album i bought when i was 12 and still love it Thnks for upload
Fantastic alvin
2:00 I love how Churchill gives Alvin the E so that he can tune his first string (without stopping the song). REAL musicians doing it Raw and Fresh.
Kapitalny Alvin Lee i jego speed finger !!!
He made that guitar🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸 talk...🤘💥🤘💥🤘
I am 52 years old and a lifelong student of great rock music. My jaw is on the freaking ground. I thought I heard it all.... NOPE. This is amazing
feel privileged
More hidden gems than you might think 😊
Haha. Cool comment. Alvin was really great.
My feeling exactly. An amazing trip.
Sir, try this one: ruclips.net/video/56NEMGvF2KA/видео.html
This performance exists but people still barely know about Alvin Lee
I was lucky as kid in 60s all this was background my brothers had a bad . Chicks dig this stuff
Thank God he tuned that string on time!! Long live Alvin Lee
There are a lot of bands I am glad I got to see back in the 70s especially the early 70s.
Two of them with all original members were The Allman Brothers.
AND I SAW TEN YEARS AFTER HALF A DOZEN TIMES. Fucking blew me away everytime. Watching that band especially Alvin was pure greatness.
One of the best live tunes ever soft yet powerful blues jazz rock takes you up then settles you down hittin the note 🍄
Best guitarist for his time
I am 61 now. I love Ten Years After and Alvin Lee since 1969....What a great musician..
I'm 68 and from a piece of dirt in the Midwest and the very best band this boy ever saw (at least four times) was this group of guys that never stopped entertaining for 3 hours at show. Those were fun shows!!!!!!!
I saw Ten Years After when I was in high school in the mid seventies. I didn`t realize at the time what a talent I was watching. Too busy partying and acting like an ass to pay attention. I`m 60 yrs. old now, and I`ll say to all the young people-- Have a fun life but don`t waste time with your mind being in a place where it doesn`t belong.
Alvin Lee is a legend.
"A visionary;" perhaps "an inventor beneath his day."
The BEST…
One of the Greatest Blues Rock bands ever constructed. Alvin Lee was a True master of his form. We met one rainy night in Chicago at my home club. The Checkerboard Lounge. He just walked into the club. He called no attention to himself. I was on the bandstand. With Magic Slim. Alvin came up and sat in with us. A real gentleman. We made him feel so welcome he said. The great pleasure of my life to meet and jam with my hero. God bless his eternal soul....
I thought Alvin Lee's performance at Woodstock 1969 was great they were only able to record one song because they were having problems with their equipment because of the rain but who ever filmed it did a damn good job of it
What an experience! Thank you for that. 💓
this should have a zillion views.
maybe someday
Esta es musica del año 2050
Tocada setenta años antes.
I am lucky enough to have the Isle of Wigh/Atlanta 1970 festival double album; and this song, a 20 minute far superior version is there. Get it if you can. Ten Years After was a super band of gifted musicians. They are far more than "I am Going Home", the song included on the Woodstock film and record. This version is also really great; the quality of the performance is fantastic.
Sublime performance from the band here, the solo section with Alvin and Leo is simply brilliant pure musical genius,.
Just think Alvin didn't make Rolling Stone rag's best 100 guitarists of all-time. Just let that sink in.
@@Lynjupiter1 usually the case with mainstream publications, Alvin Lee, Rory Gallagher, Mike Bloomfield, Alan Wilson, I'm sure there's many more, players players I'd personally have Rory Gallagher Infront of Jimmy page as an all round musician. Alvin is an aquared taste, I guess he was one the first shredders before anyone knew what shredding was.
If I'd ever had the chance to see'm live, I'd have paid just to watch leo. Guy's gotta be one of the most entertaining musicians to ever hit the stage.
I saw them in 1974 with King Crimson and Robin Trower. Amazing show ...
I love the way he incorporates Cats Squirrel into Sunshine of your Love and then Smokestack Lightening and Foxey Lady. Alvin Lee Forever!!! RIP
Nice nod to Mick Abrahms
Fue un músico adelantado a su época ... Increíble...
NOTE HOW HE TUNED THE LITTLE e CORD WITHOUT PROBLEM ... REAL MASTER!! (2')
Thank goodness this was taped for future generations to enjoy.
I love Beatles. I love Led Zeppelin. I love Pink Floyd. But this sound I have missing. I love Ten Years After now too. The band as good as Beatles, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Why they aren´t so popular like the other? I don´t understand. I have listened to all discography and they have all songs great, wonderful, genius, great....the words are so weak to discribe that great band, obviously and especially Alvin Lee. Love Love Love.
Truly fantastic but not as versatile as the aforementionned bands. "Undead" and "Cricklewood Green" are my favorite LPs from them!
Ten Years After just recently came to be one of my favorite bands of all time right behind Led Zeppelin
This songs versión from the columbia double album Atlanta/Isle of Wight concert is their very best. Almost 20 minutes long !
Sorry folks forget all the rest. Noone put it all out like Alvin Lee. Noone ever did and noone ever will. The undisputed uncrowned king of blues rock.
✨⚡️🎸👑✨
I would put Jimi Hendrix in there with Alvin Lee.
Gracias Alvin Lee, mucho talento para que el Rock viva para siempre,
SH*T Eddie VanHalen had nothing on Alvin Lee....
67 and still love this stuff, my favorite Alvin Lee is bluest blues with George Harrison 🎶🎸👊
Unfortunately we won’t see another musician that comes close to his talent.
Isn't that SAD 😢 I don't know if you come from this generation of music but I do, and I'm bummed out on how music has changed. He was a legend...
@@ellywinterquist8086 so am I L E and I'm 66
Jeff beck , Pete Townsend , alto more
He is what he is and never gave a damn i don't think, just like that song he does about it.
Would I have liked him to be "bigger" in the media world, yes. Because I would like everyone to know how great Alvin was. A lot of people know though. He was just as great as any of them who were heavily promoted by the industry for decades even still being promoted right now.
Alvin Lee he seems to breath through and with the guitar!
he's fkn it.
and it's sexy!
sex on stage.
He puts Peter Frampton to shame
@@jillthedoorgirl It does something to me. 💓
Man if I only had a bit of the talent damn
this 8 track stayed in my car's player for a long long time. one of the best live recordings in rock history.
Excelente
Awesome, love the sunshine of your love riff in here too!
The older I get the better I like!
no retreat no surrender
How is this not considered the same as Purple or Zep or so many others? Even the same as SRV?
I am so happy this recording and many other recordings are in the world.
I hope one day, people will see and know what is compared to what they think or wish and they will really see the facts and the truth
@@gillan5 FZ did´t steal a shit either - just saying
He’s a talk box without the talk box
Was the out of tune guitar at the beginning just an accident. And if so , or not, what a gifted genius. The KING OF ROCK & BLUES GUITAR! !!! Hello Alvin Lee. Just listen to classic rock radio and you can hear all that has been plagiarize from him!!! And still nobody does it better! !!!😎
If you use a guitar in so many ways, I can imagine it goes out of tune from time to time.
Alvin Lee 😂🎉😢😮😅❤
No kidding...This is my favorite among Alvin's.... RIP A.L.
Sickest kick ass live version of this song I've listened so far!!
stupid fuck
What does your "constructive" comment makes you?
mine too ,fuck that other guy, i saw him in the early 80's i'll look for my ticket stub ...
WHAT!!!!
(dmetl) #65 - it almost gives me mild heart attacks to just watch these guitarists strain their strings!
People forget what a badass Alvin Lee was!
+William “WECO” Cost Hard to deny the influence he had on the late 70s, early 80s Hard Rock and Hair Bands. All the tapping/harmonics, detuning on the fly, in a single 20 minute song. And unless I missed it, didn't swap out guitars.
44 years after, ...I'm a believer now, of his BA ness....how did this escape my attention? My bad!
I say George Benson been a fan of Alvin I dunno but I reckon he'd be be a darn good Jazz Guitarist So sad he had gone home
Couldn't tune his bloody guitar though 😉 only kidding.
I didn't... Rest In Peace Alvin Lee✌❤
One of the best rock songs of sixties , possesed by Rock Genius.
Too bad this virtuoso blues video is butchered by commercials. Today, even the most pure things are corrupted by the corporation.
He never got the credit he deserved
Brilliant
To those who love shred...

I was 14 years old and was really just getting into knowing and following rock bands black sabboth,alice cooper,deep purple and Neil young were my first that I liked then I heard ten years after their music to me seems to be unique and listening to it was like a person finding an oasis in the desert that you could always find again once you experienced the feeling inside like a great Spirit has desended down from the heavens and has marked you as one of the chosen ones who has the right chemistry to appreciate life and have the finest attribute one can have and that is loyalty.When I listen to ten years after I feel so undescribably stimulated that it's not possible that it's just music but is a gift from the heavens that not everybody shall receive who listens to it but I was one of the lucky people who won the greatest lottery ever and that is I know my spirit will always love on because I got Alvin Lee and ten years after in my blood and nothing can kill me
👍✌👏
When Alvin Lee picked up that battered Gibson ES-335, whoa...STAND BACK!!!
Listen here's yet another kick as guitarist who never got a lot of recognision.Love ten years after!
Nice Cream reference at 9:57. :)
And a Peter Gunn Theme reference at 13:47.
