From the album ‘Keep On Rockin’ (originally ‘NINETEENNINETYFOUR’, 1993)
Alvin says… one of my favourite tracks from my album ‘1994’. It has George Harrison on slide guitar and is one of the best solos he ever played. It’s a masterpiece, so sensitive. Hearing George made me play more sensitive too!
I’m very proud of this one. It was recently voted one of the best blues songs ever recorded. I’m sure B.B”King wouldn’t agree with that! It’s got a classical style piano played by Steve Grant, and George Harrison plays a slide guitar solo that is one of my all time favourites. He created such a tender, melodic solo and I had been playing kind of angry solos, y’know? After hearing George I had to change my whole approach and started to play much more melodically. As a result, I played a great solo too. George may not have been the most clever and nimble of guitarists, but he didn’t just wiggle his fingers and play a succession of notes, he actually I wrote a tune while doing a solo. He was so eloquent on guitar that he inspired me to play something eloquent too.

I'm now 71 years old, and ""My arm hair is standing on end listening to this music."
Guitar playing at its finest.
RIP Alvin & George.
Harrison was without a doubt something that the rolling stones did not know, quiet, calm and explosive on the guitar. The humility of a musician.
George Harrison’s slide guitar is beautiful. Such an underrated player.
Very true beautiful
Really a masterpiece !
Beautiful tones.
That's George !?!
No
I miss my little girl SO much. She died two years ago at age 12 and I cry EVERY DAY! Daddy loves you Roxie!
James Ryan damn I’m sorry bro
May light be with her... I understand your pain.. we will all go to the same place one day. 🙏 I send you warm wishes
She's here. You can hear her in this music, can't you?
Jimmy brother I lost my wife and my son - all you can do is keep walkin with your head down - God keep you in his hand my brother.
So sorry for your lost, theres no words...try to carry on. Bless you
This is the very last song me and my dad listened too before he passed away in 2021 it’s a variable of emotions that hit me when I hear it. As I sat there listening to it with him I began to ball he turned to me and said it’s ok son I understand know I am proud of you thank you for being my son “he was my stepdad” the next morning he was gone RIP old man
So sorry for your loss. It's a great tune to remind you of your dad.
Very sorry, but there are streets of gold for him now. Take good care of yourself, dad would want that and live😊to do the right thing daily.
Such a beautiful song and what true words. Just wow !!! Bluest Blue 😢

It's one piece, from a Guitar Master
This is the greatest song ive ever heard! Im 23 and my generation unfortunately dont know REAL music, but this right here.. i dont see how anyone couldnt enjoy this, i feel this song deep in my soul. Alvin Lee is so talented, i would have loved to see this live.
Playing Live at the Drunken Poet Melbourne Nov 21st this song what a gem.
Madison, Thank you for recognizing true artistry.He is a guitar virtuoso.
🤘❤️
Madison, is this a gal or guy?😊
@@thomaspercival7702 who me? I'm a girl, if you're asking me who alvin is a male.
I'm 77 and still listening to the blues. This guy was great. Saw him with Clapton in Houston
Soon to be 73 here. Saw him at the Second Atlanta Pop Festival in Byron, Ga.
@john WALSH I just love to listen to this. 🧝♂🤰
Lucky man !!
WOW
Lucky u. Bet it was great
dieser blaueste Blues wirkt absolut harmonisch und melancholich schwebend in Sehnsucht, den song noch einmal zu fühlen
No one plays music like this anymore. I am pleased to see so many positive comments. I am not alone. You are all amazing, kindred spirits.

I'm 65 and in my opinion Alvin was one of the greatest guitar players of all time.
I miss this dude and his music. Like so many others we’ve lost. I’m 70. Still hanging and rocking. FOREVER
Him and Jimi are two of the best
He and Gary Moore
I'm 52 . Seen many of the greats. Stevie Ray Vaughn , Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page ect. Alvin is right there with them.
What about Joe Bonamassa?
Amazing!!! Every single time I hear it. One of my all time favorite blues songs. Alvin Lee and George Harrison created a masterpiece with this recording.
My lord how music has changed over the years Think I will stay right back here with these guys✌️👌😎
I do think so. Maybe we would be on the same platform by chance some other day.
Great sad but the best
Ditto
Know it!
Gives me chills
I thought I was the only person in this world who stille loved that great old music from the great days!
I'm 67 now but still playing the old musiciens, RORY GALLAGHER, Roy Buchanan,Alvin Lee, led Zep, JJ Cale and so many, many more! Stille makes

no u r not
Hey, I totally understand what you are feeling. This is coming from Northern Ontario Canada. I hate to say this but I turned 68. Just wondering where the years disappeared. Worked my whole life since I was 18 on the railroad. Raised 3 children, they have their own lives now and here I am, sitting in the dark listening to music that I grew up on from the '60's and early 70's. Oh well, if the answers not at the bottom of this bottle, maybe the next one.
Rory is one of the best.
Now I am 67 and I am laying in bed with headphones ! Such memories !!
From the first time I heard it a week ago, I was addicted to it like a drug. It's music without any mistakes, really. This is an icon of the blues world. ❤❤❤❤
Yes I just heard it recently too.
It's definitely one of the best blues ballads I have ever heard. Harrison's slide guitar is perfection. It was nice to see Alvin Lee tone it down a bit, but I do love his fast fingers.
I have listened it for the first time about 3 months ago, and became one of my favorite guitar solos and every time I put it on, I hear something new
Indeed it is.
Every Alvin concert I went to was great, the Honolulu show was OUTSTANDING. The next day he was walking down the beach in Makaha with his girlfriend, and I told him he rocked my world....One of the best ever!
Really
The slide guitar blows me away!!
Damn it sounds So Good. This slide is weeping!!? So powerful!! Harrison was the BEST!!
Still get goosebumps when his solo starts. Miss you Alvin
One of the greatest blues riffs I have ever had the pleasure to listen to thanks Alvin
George Harrison slide guitar is the best I’ve ever heard from him! Thanks Alvin for letting him play on this track! Alvin’s guitar playing was never appreciated back in the day and present! Rest In peace Alvin and George 🎸
Every time I hear this (just about daily) George's slide solo brings five words to mind - "while my guitar gently weeps" - and with that short piece of playing he hit the pinnacle of his long career.
it was Clapton.
@davidroberttaylor57 Yes it was but Harrison knew Clapton would get him that sound.
Yes, I can't believe I've heard this song just a couple of weeks ago. I rushed and ordered this album online and it is a masterpiece of good songs by Alvin Lee.
Alvin Lee is one of the most underrated great guitarist
Oh no, Brother! Carlos Santana, Jimi Hendrix and he where the winner of Woodstock! They started their career.
Only underrated by the uninitiated.
Yep
I'm 64 years old and I've never had the pleasure of hearing this? Amazing and yeah it's great.
I'm 78 and always been a fan of Alvin's.Love this number.Play along regularly with it.Stil singing and playing lead guitar in a band.
@@peterwebb2542 ......, You GO Peter! 😁
@@peterwebb2542 Good on ya Peter..I'm 64 and just over cancer...picked up the guitar a month before being diagnosed...just learning this song...struggling on the barre chords..working on it.
The same happened to me. I never heard this beautiful song.
Yeh, first time for me….brilliant piece of music👍🇦🇺🎸
😢very emotional song 🎵 ❤
No matter how many times I hear this song it always brings a tear to my eye 😢 this has to be one of my all time favourite songs ❤️ ♥️
Agree
Who knew George could shred like that?❤
"It's the bluest blues..when you can't find your way home"....The lyrics say it all...a heart broken by love...that's why this song tears me up inside. Growing old alone...

As am I. I lost my husband of 43 years in 2019. So now I’m an old lady with a chihuahua living on a 60 acre farm 😊
:yep! actually I want to be played on my funeral ;-) but I will never to be able to get it :-(
I never get tired of hearing this great Song !! 😊😊😊😊
Can't believe i just heard this for the first time today. Fantastic. What a beautiful song with some of the most beautiful guitar playing ive ever heard.
Me too..just moving thru..think will stay awhile..🇨🇦
The absolute Blues guitar king!
With a great assist from slide guitar Master George Harrison.
This IS the BLUEST BLUES!
RIP ALVIN LEE!
First time I've heard this song and Alvin Lee and it hit me hard...I will add this song and Alvin Lee to my collection of Joe B., Robin T., Eric Clapton, Stevie R, B B King just to mention a few. I'm 70 and I've felt this Bluest Blue...more than once, for many reasons. Vietnam,
Lost loves gone bad, younger brothers and parents gone to soon.
Still...I'm going to listen to it again, wipe my tears away and enjoy the purity of the lyrics, the music and cleanse my heart. Live, Love, Laugh life goes on.
Never, never quit or give up.
Love to all..❤
Right on Marvin I'm right there with you
Marvin, I really share your sentiments. Robin Trower, Clapton, J.J.Cale, and of course the greatest S.R.V. (who shares my b-day, but left us too soon) are some of my idols. Yes, never give up! And that's hard sometimes. Love to you all!
I’m 71 and can relate to you. We have to just keeping on. Love you
God bless you brother for protecting our America ! Alvin Lee was definitely one of the greats and I was saddened by finding out about his passing. I used to have lots of Ten Years After, and many others who will go down in history as awesome musicians and I will continue to listen to and admire them all the days I have left on this earth. I am 66 and Thank You for your service !
Tears
This not just a music, this a soul therapy
YES...
I think everybody has said more than enough
Amen brother
fking bingo!
Well put.
This song painting a colours of soul....🎼❤️
RIP Alvin and RIP our beloved Beatle George for his divine slide playing on this.
So divine
Yes that was very special
George's slide on here is pretty as guitar can get, but Alvin's 3 1/2 min blues ride to carry the song out is just epic. Some of the nicest guitar blues ever recorded. Timeless.
That's what thought, great slide played so well, and a smokin hot outro solo 👍 😁
So agree
Don't you have a watch/clock?
Agree
Alvin was a fast repetitious blues/rock guitarist. George Harrison was a great musician and song writer. Just to make a point here. Harrison added to the song greatly.
I saw Alvin live once. He opened for ZZ Top and Journey. I could have went home after his performance. No one else came close.
I've seen him several times an never disappoints. Smoked a bud with him at the LA Forum...He lit the place on fire that night! Another great show was in Honolulu at the HIC...So many shows! Can we go back now?
@@bluestriad I was living in Indiana working on a neighboring farm and they had a college age son. It was probably around 70-71. I was 14 and we'd smoke pot together and he played Ten Years After Crickelwood Green album. First time I'd really gotten into Alvin. I'd heard the Woodstock performance earlier and was hooked.
I had that experience once, though different artists. Went to see Eric Clapton, Graham Parker opened. Having seen EC before, I knew he couldn't touch that, so I left before he came on.
No one comes close.
I'm in 20's & recently discovered Alvin Lee. Was awestruck. Another listener recommended this masterpiece. I'm mesmerized. ❤

BTW , George Harrison does the slide guitar solo, and Alvin does the outro solo.

Honestly, I think this is one of the best songs ever made
Me too

❤💯 I was hooked on Alvin's playing the first time I heard him in 1968, there will never be another Alvin Lee!
Wish I had known him back in 68. Man what a "VERY FINE " Dude.
Not know when I got to listen to Alwyn. But it was like an accident. Since then, it keeps coming and I love to listen.
@Julie The Fillmore in San Francisco TYA sold out 4 nights,
@@vwccrline Was blessed to see TYA in 1971. Unforgettable.
Speechless, this song still gives me goosebumps. Graham Alvin Barnes was one of the mostrar underrated singers to be gone so soon, just like Gary Moore.
agree
Right on both counts.
Indeed
Outstanding groove! Remindes me of a mix of Warren Haynes and Stevie ray Vaughn with A hint of bb king. Love this tune. Makes me relax with a glass of bourbon 🥃.....
Fully agree. But at the risk of being a pedant, Alvin's real middle name was Anthony.
The best blues song ever written for me.He is telling a story with his guitar!Fabulous!
I AGREE STILL 🎶LISTENING 5/25/22 IM A LONG TIME ALVIN LEE PLAYING// JUST AWESOME EPIC STORY/ 🎵🎶
Damn straight👍👊💯🎶
He makes it cry, astonishing guitar skills.

Absolutely!!!!
On the days where I'm at my lowest, those 7½ minutes offer me a temporary escape from reality like no other song will. God bless Alvin Lee for this masterpiece
First heard of Alvin Lee in grade 7 mid 70s touted as the fastest guitarist alive. I've heard numerous pcs of his work and every single one rips thru me as this one does... goose bumps shivers ND a warming to the soul ❤
I am 28 and Listen to the Blues, the new generation doesn't know what they're missing out on.
Somebody on Facebook posted this song recently. The song blew me away. I ran out and bought the CD, Alvin Lee's greatest hits. It's a two CD set and it's fantastic.
Oh, this is so beautiful it makes me cry. Alvin & George, Rest In Peace.
This song is a song of profound PAIN
Makes me cry too.

How have I managed to get thus far in life without hearing this. Beautiful.
All that matters is you have heard it now!!
Agreed
its just so good right ? the feelings it washes over me are just delicious welcome to the eargasms lol
The same happened to me ,heard it when i was 56 now its a regular must !!!
I've always loved Alvin Lee for his guitar playing and his voice! George Harrison is also very good, here on slide!
You can hear the gut wrenching in every note, the depth of the blues in this song is unfathomable. Just like the great void of a broken heart
This is such a deep song. It is Heartfelt. RIP The greatest blues song Ever..
Still gives me goosebumps 50 years later !
To me too!
Alvin one and Only I love the Guy Quigg Heke
I don't listen to the radio anymore,I search the internet,and find awesome music like this, really touches the soul.

One of the best blues songs I have ever heard. Listen to it just about every time I bring my music up.
One of the bluest blues numbers Alvin played!!!💙😎🤙
Exceptional slide from George Harrison Alvin Lee one of the best ever he didn't get the recognition he deserved
This song is one of the greatest blues songs ever written. The lyrics and the guitar work are amazing, but I wouldn’t recommend it to a person going through a heartbreak. The sadness in the lyrics is too much to handle, for someone going through something like that. The tears will not stop flowing.
I went through a very rough breakup about 4 years ago, and this song (among others) did a lot to help me through it. Sometimes those tears need to flow for the hurt to start to heal... The song is absolutely beautiful and it has a special meaning to me, in a good way today.
No kidN! It makes me cry & I haven't been heartbroken N looseN a love relationship 4 many years. But if U have been there once, well, ya get over it but U don't ever 4get how deep it hurts! Alvin Lee is my hero!

65 yrs young former marine and love the blues.this song captures the essence and then some. I play my c harmonica daily. Fucking awesome. I can't fathom anyone with a good heart not embracing this masterpiece!!
I’ve been hooked on Alvin’s guitar work and songs since I first started hearing them about 1973 or so. This tune… so aptly titled IS the Bluest Blues as it brings out waves of emotions every single time I listen. George’s slide solo is hauntingly sad but mellow (melancholy?) and builds the emotion in to the next verses. Alvin’s solo at the end is an absolute sonic and emotional rollercoaster ride of highs and lows, brilliant light and deepest darks, screams and wails that tear at your gut until it leaves you a mess holding your head in hands at the end…. Wishing that there was more! Absolutely brilliant. You must listen through headphones or earbuds to feel the deepest emotions. It’s shocking.
great comment!!
AT 65 yrs old, I haven't had a toke in years. But this piece makes me wanna get a fat joint, lay down in the floor between the biggest speakers I can find and just turn the volume up to almost unbearable. Oh... and a bottle of wine.
Mind some company? A cigar and good Bourbon for me.
Katie Dotson I feel you..
Ah but GO for it dear.
Man if I were you, at 65, I would toke every day. Have fun. You're 65!
Me 70. Prefer LSD..........AND NZ Sauvignon Blanc.....lol
Alvin Lee was a man significantly ahead of his time.
Wow. They say music and the soul are connected. After George's beautiful slide guitar solo - I'm a believer.
ALVIN LEE was very underrated across the world as a guitarist but when you listen to this song and other's he's done in the past it blows my mind how he wasn't more FAMOUS, well overlooked.
That guitar solo at the end is immortal
OMG!!! I had no idea that George Harrison was playing that amazing slide solo on the song!!!!!
Traveling Wilbur's
George was one of the most underrated guitarist and musician ever.!! He nailed this.!!!
@@stephenaddison2256 Yes sir he never had a big head,ego!
O yes he did!..
First time I hear this song, extraordinay solo and melody. Thank to all these extraodinary musicians for this outstanding musical experience. Thanks Alvin for gathering these guys to play together.
George Harrison on slide....'honorable mention'
very well put!
Tis good to appreciate.
I was lucky to see Alvin and Ten Years After in the 70s at Winterland, San Francisco.. The sidewalk would rumble as you walked closer and closer to the venue.. WOW, Thank you alvin... AKA Captian Speedy Fingers. Still miss you.
Man oh man, can I identify with this song. At the age of 69, it brought back memories of a disaster I created in my life many years ago. I messed up and lost the love of my life. She will never be forgotten.
Keep on rocking and forget about IT.
Same AS me. Take some dope and newer trust a woman.
Man up. Say you were wrong. I am sorry. Please forgive me.
Alvin's best song. He makes his guitar cry. One of the most under rated
@Mark Rymanowski Really? Nice to know. Thanks
How old are you? After Woodstock he was the guitar god No. 2 after J. Hendrix! No. 3 Santana . . .
I like "I'm going home" better but it reminded me of getting out of the Army in 75. FTA!!!
@@bobrat About the same time my brother was getting out as well! I haven’t heard FTA in a very long time. Fun,Travel,Adventure! Ok, that’s not what it really meant.
Alvin was never underrated.Under appreciate ,and misunderstood like many.But never under rated.I knew Alvin and miss the man.The music lives on.RIP mate!
Beautifully done, George’s slide solo is tasty and smooth, Alvin’s outro solo is simply magnificent. It has never been done better! RIP Alvin and George.
❤
It's all right...The Slide and Solo Guitar!
Noooobody plays slide as soulful as George.
Alvin Lee once said that George (with his tender slide solo) has set the feel of the outro solo. Otherwise it would have been a more mediocre blues song.
@@YTRopp both solos, IMHO, are magnificent.
Jeff Beck, the guitar players guitarist must be blown away with this masterpiece. It’s simply timeless even tho I’ve been listening to it for the past 5 decades.
I sincerely doubt Jeff Beck was 'blown away' with Alvin's playing here. Now George's playing, on the other hand...
@@xmandlt This is a true statement. Alvin's solo is competent run-of-the mill flash but rock is saturated with that kind of solo, it could just about be anyone. George's is a sweet and unique "voice" that Beck would appreciate, having a guitar "voice" of his own. By "voice" I mean you can tell who's playing straight away.
Omg. First time hearing this. In tears, goosebumps. It's a masterpiece.
Without a doubt 💯
Really, a masterpiece!
Its brilliant isn't it
Call it a blues ballad/rocker.
Weeping now.
I’ve always loved Alvin’s “Love to Change the World” since I was a kid in the 60s. That song is epic, and the Bluest Blues simply stated is: GENIUS ❤️❤️❤️
Eisblume....... Wir schauen in die Nacht, ins Angesicht.? Der Schneit, der uns von der bleichheit, ins Angesicht scheint. Und er schaut in die Nacht dessen angesicht erscheint. So erscheint ein Engel, im angesicht einer Eisblumen, in der Nacht. Denn wir sind eisblumen in der Nacht. Die bleichheit die es uns angetan hat. Denn wir kleiden uns in traurigkeit. Der Tag er hebt sich, eilig aus der Stadt. Der Morgen wankt, wie kleide uns in einer Eisblumen. Denn wir sind eisblumen, aus tausenden kristallen aus der Morgenstunden. Wir sind eisblumen, und sehen warge in der Tag. Denn wir sind eisblumen, in der Nacht. Wir sind eisblumen.???????
Hi rosie
Ah I'd love to change the world definitely changed mine. A child of a musician but not touched by his genre. Alvin introduced me to a lifelong love of rock and roll. The blues in particular became and still is the genre that touches my inner most core. Without that artist who knows if I would have that therapeutic blessing called the blues. Thank Alvin. You did change my world.
Greatest guitar solo ever from George Harrison - FANTASTIC - followed by a super-excellent Alvin workout. It came on the radio as I was driving through Walton-on-Thames in I think '93 after it came out and I had to stop the car - a magic moment.
Oh the Blues! Does my soul the best when times are tough. Love those guitar licks
Absolutely in love with this song, 1 of my favourites. Everything about it; the vocals, the guitar solos, lyrics, emotion and everything is just perfection ❤
Alvin and George left us like a shooting star in the night leaving behind a trace that is about a million miles. I guess God wants the best for him and leaving us with memories. RIP Alvin and George.
I still can't believe you left us Alvin RIP brother
OMG....WHAT A MASTERPIECE...!!!!!
Some of the finest guitar I've ever heard and you can just feel how real it is. So heartfelt.
If it's feel you want, Alvin Lee and George Harrison are your people, perfectly played without overplaying.
I agree, they are in my list of favorite musicians in my life. Truly incredible, always,I love both their solos on this song. Great alvin Lee and why he's not in the hall of fame I'll never understand
This puts me in another dimension. Midway through, the guitar work is mesmerizing. Yeah, the wine helps, too, but even without, it is the essence of blues. Thank you, Alvin Lee and George Harrison...somewhere in the great beyond.
@Lucille One of These Days TYA
ME too, know what you mean by another dimension. The last guitar riff is unbelievable. Never fails to mesmerise me every time - its a spritual experinece. I know every note foreground and background. The greatest riff of all time
:-)
Agree with the "another dimension" stuff, this song is great.
I totally agree 🥰
Awesome song. One of my all-time favorites. George Harrison is magnificent on the slide guitar.
who would of thought......George.. fantastic
George with this silde guitar solo is also The inspiration to Alvin - less 'techincal' solo and more variations of melody and feeling...
This is no exaggeration. I've listened to this song every day for 4 years. It's the most moving guitar solo I've ever heard. The song was written by the great Ray Charles. Amazing!!
I was told it was written by Ray Charles but that doesn't appear to be true. My bad. I was misinformed.
Didn't know that
@@williamcassidy3824 I believe that I was wrong. I looked it up and the only credit given for the song are to Alvin Lee. So I guess Ray Charles didn't write it after all.

I lucked up and found some slide pics I had shot of him in concert of him from back in the day,and was so happy that I came across them! Saw him 2-3 times,and he was bar none exceptionally masterful,and precise in his delivery! R.I.P. Alvin you were a Phenom in your time! Thank you God that I lived in the 70s!
One of his best ever songs. Gosh, I really miss Alvin. I never knew I loved you until you went away.
Both Alvin and Peter Green are rightly known as outstanding guitarists, but let's not overlook some fine singing by these guys.
Fantastic quitar sound. THIS is the blues. .blues really express emotions especially love. Oh, i feel it in my soul. I would enjoy hearing my love play the blues...😂. Passion at its finest. Raw. Raw raw...loving it
I can only think of one word every time. Masterpiece.
