ALVIN LEE FT. GEORGE HARRISON - The Bluest Blues | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@Papabob1957]

What a great song , I’ve always loved listening to Alvin Lee and he was always unique with his style, the things he did with Ten Years After was always amazing

[@clifton8929]

This is one of the most underrated blues songs ever written. The lyrics and the guitar work are amazing! The mix of George Harrison's playing, coupled with Alvin Lee, along with the sadness in the mood and lyrics, is almost too much to handle. If you're feeling down and have the blues, this song will make you cry. Thank you for taking the time to play this hidden gem and your great commentary. You're a very wise, humble, and intelligent young man. We all appreciate your hard work and the love of music.

[@dakotahills2.095]

I disagree with you. People who LOVE & appreciate the blues know all about this song. We know this is THE GREATEST BLUES SONG EVER! No room for debate.

It certainly is a blues classic. I think the reason it works so well is that it takes you through every single stage of the blues ... in that sense Id compare it to the CCR version of Heard it Through the Grapevine or the long-solo version of BB King's Chains & Things. The verses and the Harrison solo are as smooth as fine whiskey. They tell the full story of how much it hurts, and the gentle fingerpicking plucks at your heartstrings. Its a tear-jerking setup. Because the outro solo is not taking any prisoners. Alvin dives in headfirst, from the first note, wailing and raging and tearing its broken heart to shreds, over and over and over, relentlessly, until you dont know how an electric guitar could possibly hurt any worse. And then just for extra impact, he ends it suddenly in the middle of a bar so the sense of it "going on to long" just vanishes in the final few notes. Absolute perfection. And I agree with the other commenter - those who really love the blues do not "underrate" anything that Alvin did.

great reaction Critical, man your on a roll with all the great tunes you have chosen to react to lately all great ones. Needless to say this is a classic example of why the blues will always be around. It touches so many emotions and feels so basic to your soul. Awesome tune !!!!! R.I.P. Alvin.. and George !!!!!

George Harrison was a very underrated guitar player, as well as Alvin Lee. They both nailed it here. One of my favorite Blues songs.

[@89801wink]

I don't believe Alvin was underrated, but criminally unknown. Anyone who listened to Alvin never underrated him. IMO

[@Tonyboy3623]

What a musician he is RIP Alvin mate phenomenal emotional playing ❤️apparently he wrote it after a breakup

[@WMalven]

Firsat solo is Harrisson with his classic slide guitar sound, the second is Lee.

[@denniswatson455]

Excellent choice! Keep up the good work.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

You definitely got to check out some more Ten Years After with Alvin Lee. I think the only one you may have reacted to already is I'd Love to Change the World, from their A Space In Time.

[@MargaretGerhold]

Ten Years After. Was my first concert. They were fantastic... Truly an amazing guitarist. This song is from later 90s I think but it is really great. Love it.

[@glenndespres5317]

Mine too! The old Boston Garden.

[@marckusel5602]

Unmistakable George on slide. So so good. Ty

[@dougca7086]

George Harrison was also part of the Traveling Wilburys along with four other Rock and Roll Hall of Famers

[@mythicsin3083]

[@scotttrainer9704]

Alvin Lee and Ten Years After put on one the be best shows I ever attended, and I seen most of the greats back in the 70's and early 80's.

[@christopherblessing3868]

ALVIN LEE IS THE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER TO EVER WALK THIS PLANET!

[@armandogarza6181]

I've only heard this song a couple of times, discovered it late, but it's a banger. Good one man.

[@thoru4367]

Please more Harrison

[@mickeygregg359]

I'd like to hear your take on another sample of gut-wrenching blues: “Farewell Song” on the album “Live at Winterland ‘68” by Big Brother and the Holding Company featuring Janis Joplin.

[@dankascherknopflernut5272]

You’d have a hard time finding a better solo than that…..I mean, come on, that was so good! Give Midnight Blues by Snowy White a listen….. I think you’ll have the same kind of reaction.
