To see Alvin Lee live was insane!!.. The last time I saw him the band was Alvin Lee and Company the best part was he played with my second favourite guitar player the blonde man Johnny Winter….But as much as I love Alvin Lee the greatest rock ‘n’ roll band the world has ever seen and my top guitar player jimmy page Led Zeppelin … I got to see Led Zeppelin the very first band I ever saw live I was 18 years old it was 1969
I saw Led Zep around 4 or 5 times and TYA 5 or 6 times. I wish I saved those tickets stubs so that I'd know for sure, lol. Both are my favorite bands obviously. Like the early Rolling Stones and saw them just once. @@BuckrBill
Gary Moore, Jeff Healey, Frank Marino are just a few of the underated guitarists. Here's a Frank Marino track: ruclips.net/video/4jUKJst-rUA/видео.html
Alvin Lee perhaps the most underrated rock/Blues guitarist, their performance of this song at Woodstock is legendary. Also want to mention that it was said that he had the faster fingers at Woodstock.That Gibson ES - 335 is smoking! RIP Alvin
I've watched many vids on here of reactions to this song but yours was the best hands down. You didn't once interrupt the music but waited until it was over. Nice job.
Those 1970's. Such a time. In the 50's-60's a bunch of music started with Chuck Berry, Elvis, and the Beatles. Then a bunch of bands and such took all that and took it to new heights. From the first time I heard them at Woodstock Ten Years After were a favorite. To me they blew everybody away and everybody at Woodstock did their best to make the most out of that huge opportunity. Loved your reaction!
This band was criminally underestimated despite being one of the best in rock history. As for Alvin Lee, he was one of the best guitarists far ahead of some so-called stars
WOW, , I am so glad you checked this out , not many have heard of Ten Years After , they jam and Alvin just rips that guitar up ,, if you want another good one , , I can't keep from crying , , live in 1975 !! Thank you for checking this out and spreading out Ten Years Later and Ten Years After , and Alvin Lee ! They been one of my favorites for over 40 years !!
I love Alvin Lee and Ten Years After. Saw them several times in the early 70s, always awesome. I've never seen this particular performance, so thanks for this.
I just love your reactions. From an old man who was around back then, we used to rock a bit To see rock'n'roll being reborn, revived, recognized or whatever the hell you guys are doing fills me with satisfaction I can't describe! Like Chuck said, "Hail hail rock'n'roll! Thank you!
I alway find you and your reactions charming. Especially when you are viewing artists from my younger years. I saw them in concert circa 1969. I was 16 years old. Keep the hits a’coming. 😊
Ahh this is classic music…similar in style to ZZ Top and Rory Gallagher, who no doubt were influenced by the likes of Alvin Lee. Alvin Lee never hit the popularity headlines but was instead a highly critically acclaimed guitarist by his peers, and much appreciated by his audiences. His live appearances are legendary. Love the reaction Sabina..probably something new for you to enjoy.
NO BODY can touch HIM -- ALVIN LEE - - swung - rocked - penetrated - raged - sped like no other back then - - The whole band did too ! TEN YEARS AFTER ! Forever !
One of the most underrated rock songs ever! Alvin Lee is such an incredible performer. Never thought you would react to this song, but once again you surprised me!
Well done, a rare person who doesn't interupt a song, pause, just let's it play, the way it should be done, and glad to see you comment not during like most people on here do, so full marks to you, and yes, Alvin Lee, very underated guitarist, as was the band. Look forward to you listening and watching more rock bands from the past, may I suggest Deep Purple and Highway Star ?
My first ‘longplayer live’ I bought was in 1976. I was 18 years young. I think this started my ‘wild years’. The weren’t that long but I rather heavy. That ‘longplayer’ was Ten Years After and I still have it (switched to CD 🫣). Still give me goosebumps… 😜😋🤪
Absolutely brilliant, I remember debating with my mates. When I was 18 now 71 who was the fastest guitarist in the world. Mr Lee in my opinion still holds that title, I was lucky to see him live, loved Alvin my absolute favourite Johnny Winter. Also at Woodstock bloody hell what talent on stage over one. weekend
Wonderful reaction to the incredible music of Alvin Lee. Ten years After are my favorite bluesrock band since the late sixties up to now. I also appreciate very much that you didn´t stop the music for commenting. I can also recommend you some more material from the mind-blowing live works and the fascinating "Bluest Blues" by Alvin. Warm greetings. Kundan
Alvin Lee was one of the best of all time ! I've been a fan of his since I was very young. He finished wood stock with that song. No one better than him.... super show thanks for the time. John
Splendid reaction! YOur appreciation was duly noted, lol! And love how you "spelled it out" with the texts on screen. Ten Years After and Alvin Lee will wow you with "I'd Love to change the world," another amazing song of theirs, and his guitar work there is so fluid and sharp!
Et af mine yndlingsband. De besøgte Danmark i slut 60érne. Alvins præstation i "I´m Going Home" og "Goodmorning Little School Girl" var fuldstændig hæsblæsende, ens hjerne gik simpelthen i stå 😂. Virkelig et uforglemmeligt smukt brag af en koncert.❤❤❤
Ten Years After with the fabulous Alvin Lee. So terribly underrated. They played at Woodstock in 1969 - thus the 10 years later reference. But the group was Ten Years After.
Alvin Lee named the band Ten Years After in 1966 - because he considered the emergence of Elvis Presley in 1956, ten years earlier, to be the birth of rock and roll. He was known as one of the fastest British guitarists of the late 60's, and his signature guitar lick shows up in some other peoples' playing.
Firstly...I Figured It Was An Error And Rather More Should Be Ten Years After... Secondly...I Figured It Had Nothing To Do With That Bloody Waste Of Space Elvis...
You rock Sabina for finding this one👍 He was legend at Woodstock for his performance of this song.. You reminded me I wore out two 8 tracks of TYA Shhhh album(Stoned Woman etc.) Good times. Thanks Sabina!
Ten Years After disbanded in the middle 70's. I could be wrong but Alvin lee in Flight was his first solo album. A friend played the album for me, been a fan ever since. He did put together a band called ten years later. Put two albums out that I know of, Rocket Fuel, and RIDE ON. Both good albums. He should've won a grammy for the Woodstock performance.
I was at this concert, it was the KSJO radio station 10th anniversary show at Winterland in San Francisco. Sammy Hagar was the headliner, with Alvin Lee and Ten Years Later, Hoodoo Rhythm Devils, and High Wire Radio Choir the other bands. Hagar had special guests Neal Schon from Journey, Eddie Money, and Jimmy Lyon do a few songs with him. I was standing a few feet to the left of the guy filming, about 20 feet from the stage, dead center. Most Winterland concerts in those days were filmed, almost all in black and white. The whole concert was great, and Ten Years Later did a fine preformance, of course with Alvin Lee's guitar leading the way.
Did you know that Ten Years After is not in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame. Also the name Ten Years After comes from they started 10 years after Elvis. I am 71 Alvin Lee is my favourite guitarist I’ve been watching him since I was 19. The last time I got to see Alvin Lee play he played with the blond man Johnny Winter it was incredible peace
had most of ten years after albums...always my favorite band and alvin lee is the overall GOAT just like larry bird in basketball. frank w. ssg (ret) us army
i have watched this reaction about 4 times and enjoy your reaction knowing i grew up with alvin and larry bird ..... two goats and love to see a younger generation catch up to the greatness of this singer, songwriter, entertainer and out of this world guitar frank w. us army ret
You need to find a 1969 Woodstock documentary Musical. He was there this song. As were so many others. I was 11 years old summer camp up at Tupper Lake Upstate New York 1969. 10 years later Colorado.
thank you for your reaction. I just discovered Ten Years After and Alvin Lee this year. how wonderful that a musician that was almost long forgotten is now being re-discovered ten years after his passing. Alvin Lee is my guitar hero. ⚡️🎸♥️⚡️ from what I understand Alvin didn’t drink. He liked smoking weed. as Alvin says he says he is fueled by pure adrenaline. I do believe he is high on the music. Also, the Alvin Lee character is a persona. He was very much styled after Elvis.
Alvin was quite sober. As you see in Comments, a different performance of this was at Woodstock, where his guitar technique was at its peak. He was a superb guitarist who was not very well known to the general public, but he was admired by musicians and guitarists. The very early TYA albums had some jazz and bluesy numbers. Thanks for your reaction .
Not sure if his skills were at his peak at Woodstock. I think his skills were just as good in 78, however with the big difference that the enjoyment he had in the peak years were gone. He is quite sloppy in his playing, he was not challenged to play good anymore, the crowd would go crazy anyways, and he more or less was changed into the traveling jukebox (his own words) he so much hated.
What concert and where was this recorded? I am quite familiar with the Woodstock version, but IMHO, this version blows the Woodstock version away! Thank u so much for sharing it with us!!!
Captain Speedfingers, Fastest Guitar In The West, and my personal favorite The Man Who Played Faster Than His Shadow, all nicknames of Alvin's. One the greatest live pickers of any era that no one sadly ever seems to talk about. He was so finger fast that he once fingered a groupie right before the gig and she exploded!!
You pick some top stuff from my earlier years-making me get back into stuff i used to listen to and its great to see they still rock people today. Check out the film of the Woodstock festival- Alvin Lee playing this tune in 1969-its awesome.
9 Years earlier, Alvin Lee & Ten Years After performed this song at Woodstock. It was my favorite and there were plenty of legendary performances. And yeah, there are some timbre similarities with Elvis.
Saw them a few times in 1970-1 in the Eastown Theater in Detroit (a small venue)... You mentioned people dancing, but dancing was minimal and rare -- we went to these shows as concerts, just absorbing the music...
If you decide to check out more TYA, then may I recommend "I'd Love to Change the World", "50,000 Leagues Beneath My Brain", and "Love Like a Man" for starters.
AH, you picked the woodstock video ( at least i think it is ), so glad i got to see these guys live way back in the 70's... It might be there most famous song, but i think not their best , watch Slow blues in 'C' , Good morning little schoolgirl, Hobbit and Help me....
I'm glad you went through the whole song w/o interruption...you miss the whole experience when you stop and talk about yourself (referring to other reactions) Thanks!! Btw, his colleagues and fellow musicians called Alvin, "Captain Speed Fingers"
Love Alvin Lee but his "I'm Going Home" from the Woodstock concert is the ultimate divinitve definition to that song, period. To think that song was included in the movie, and considering the time tells you it was historical and put an unknown British guitarist on the world's stage, is worth checking out. With this concert Alvin was rather sloppy. Still, he could kick ass but back in 78 his time had kinda passed him by Disco, and Punk where the big tickets back in 78 till Van Halen came down off the mountain. But check out the Woodstock version, it's Alvin Lee at his finest!
Nobody cares what the lyrics are; just listening to this almost literal shredding of his axe makes the experience whole. Can you believe "Ten Years After" is NOT IN THE R&R HALL OF FAME?! Somebody's asleep at the wheel. Cannot fathom why the group has been snubbed. Their albums are rather well engineered and sold plenty. Recommend you seek the long version of the Woodstock performance of this song (a hint of Elvis you'll get); absolutely animalistic rock n roll! Nice that you picked a version not many reactors have used. Thanx loads!
This is rock and roll at its very best, and you get it !! I can see from your reaction you do. Actually i think this is better than the Woodstock version, and that was awesome. British bands ruled back then.
I’m 71 I first saw Ten Years After on the movie Woodstock, then I bought the album. He smashed it in front of 500,000 people, they were eating out of his hand, even now I get goose bumps, I don’t know who followed them on Woodstock? but I feel sorry for them, TYA were the best performance at Woodstock I’m my books.
Also if ya dig and enjoyed this video and so loved Ten Years After 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. Also I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on RUclips. 😀
Yes, in the Woodstock era, Alvin was considered the fastest guitarist in the world. It's great that you react so well to such "old" songs.🤗🤘
To see Alvin Lee live was insane!!..

Angus Young described Alvin Lee as the greatest Rock guitarist ever
and the Bass player on the woodstock version is legendary that man is going crazy on the Bass

The bass player and drummer are equally great at with their abilities too.

Ladies and gentlemen that’s rock n roll
This brings me back to when I was a flower child trying to get home . High on acid , weed , lots of men . A hell of a time .Never made it back home
Alvin Lee named the band Ten Years After in 1966 - because he considered the emergence of Elvis Presley in 1956, ten years earlier, to be the birth of rock and roll. He was known as one of the fastest British guitarists of the late 60's, and his signature guitar lick shows up in some other peoples' playing.
Incorrect, it was named after a book. (Suez. Ten Years After). This is also confirmed by bassist Leo Lyons on his YT Channel.
Firstly...I Figured It Was An Error And Rather More Should Be Ten Years After...
Secondly...I Figured It Had Nothing To Do With That Bloody Waste Of Space Elvis...
@@ELPCOTILLION-SD1970 The singer was a big fan of Elvis though. :)
Ten years after .....👏👏👏
Ten Years After - Alvin Lee a super talent, he'd jam with his own songs.
You rock Sabina for finding this one👍 He was legend at Woodstock for his performance of this song..
You reminded me I wore out two 8 tracks of TYA Shhhh album(Stoned Woman etc.) Good times. Thanks Sabina!
Shhhh was an ass kicking album.
Goosebumps over my whole body. Iconic performance from my younger years! Best enjoyed while intoxicated ;-)
I'd Love to Change the World is a must.
Great reaction! I saw this tour in 1978 (age 17) and Alvin blew me away!!
I have to admit Dude wore me the hell out.🙃'Rock n Roll' ... Stay cool, Miss Sabina.
Yeah rock and roll baby 🤟🤘
I went to see Ten Years later at Hammersmith Odeon in 1978.
Ten Years After disbanded in the middle 70's. I could be wrong but
Alvin lee in Flight was his first solo album. A friend played the album for me, been a fan ever since.

Ciao,io ho visto Alvin Lee a ROMA anni '70 ! Fantastico!!!!!!
Saw Ten Years after in the 70's with Black Oak Arkansas as the opening act. Such a great guitarist.
Ten years AFTER
Reformed band as later
AFTER!
Same song in '69 Woodstock.
Love the live album from 1973. Recorded live. This song is on that album, love it.
thank you for your reaction. I just discovered Ten Years After and Alvin Lee this year. how wonderful that a musician that was almost long forgotten is now being re-discovered ten years after his passing.
Alvin Lee is my guitar hero.
⚡️🎸♥️⚡️
from what I understand Alvin didn’t drink. He liked smoking weed.
as Alvin says he says he is fueled by pure adrenaline. I do believe he is high on the music.
Also, the Alvin Lee character is a persona. He was very much styled after Elvis.
Hey, 'bina, Alvin Lee's group was callled Ten Years After.
You have a cool channel.
Oh this is a great Jam . Alvin Lee
Rock on, Sabina
song writing entertainer out of this world guitarist band leader vocals and overall GOAT like larry bird....
Great bluesband as well. Love it that you don't talk right through everything. The reason I am listening your channel.
"The only guitar player I would pay to see, is Alvin Lee" ....Jimmy Page
He always put on a great show.
Alvin Lee forever, none better. a wood stock favorite

Captain Speedfingers, Fastest Guitar In The West, and my personal favorite The Man Who Played Faster Than His Shadow, all nicknames of Alvin's. One the greatest live pickers of any era that no one sadly ever seems to talk about. He was so finger fast that he once fingered a groupie right before the gig and she exploded!!

50 years later and that's how you do the damn thing!
Ten Years After
After if you don't min Ten Years After is the name of the Band.
Alvin Lee with a Gibson😂 Lord have mercy.
Great band, classic rock. The band is called Ten Years After.
The group is called Ten years after there greatest song ever was I’d love to change the world.
They played this at Woodstock in 1969, & brought the house down!
I think the band called "ten years after"😊
