Alvin Lee & Ten Years After: "No Title" & "Goin' Home"-1969 live-rare!

A great gem from 1969 French TV. Enjoy!

When my mom was dying of cancer in 1987 she wanted to listen to these guys all the time. TYA and Jimi Hendrix seemed to help ease the pain at times for her.

The version of "Goin' Home" from the live album, Undead, is still the best, IMO but this video is a treat!

[@alanelli0tt22]

Yes, completely agree... I always find his intro on Undead is better than the live intros (eg Woodstock) but this video is pretty much it! I wonder if this video was recorded before Woodstock- both 69... ?

So it three 17 year olds standing looking at those limos. I don't understand how we were able to be there. So here is Ten Years After getting in the limos. So Alvin says what's up. My one friend says you were really bad tonight. Alvin says I thought we were quite good tonight. She had to explain to him in our lingo at the time was bad was good. So Alvin then signed pieces of paper for us. They got in the limos and left. There were two limos and just the band. We were right in front of Alvin during the show so I know he saw us during the show. My one friend was a really pretty redhead. They were spectacular that night. I saw them later that year an they were not as good.

Just awesome. This is beatnik blues at its best. No other major rock band was doing anything like No Title. And completely over the top when they segue into Going Home. This should have a 1,000,000 views.

[@FenceThis]

"Beatnik blues" ? No- it's rock'n roll with a jazzy flavour.

[@mickeyschwind8434]

Because they were truly blues based at what they did.. they didn't have a good backing for themselves. Like Grant for zeppelin or Janis Joplin man.

[@robinhood480]

Been a fan since I first found them on a bargain cassette shelf in a K-Mart in mid 1980's. Inspiration for my learning to play the guitar. So...today (30 some years later..) was digging around, watching KZbin videos and found this .Had to get up and grab an axe and jam along. Brought back the same feeling !. THANKS FOR SHARING. .. I have collected many of their vynl albums through the years. We used to buy every thing we could find on Ten Years After, Alvin Lee. Back then no Internet so learning songs buy ear and jamming with others was the only way we had to learn and enjoy the music. Even the music magazines were just starting to publish TAB for songs. Have vol. #1. first issue of GUITAR SCOOL. now so many internet sites to learn from and sheet music that it's a lot easier to obtain this stuff. ------- IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN PLAYING MUSIC, of any kind, DO IT. NOW. Its really not that difficult if you want to bad enough. BEST WISHES TO YOU.

Just what I was thinking. His fills at the end of "No Title" are superb and his touch is light and nimble. Drummers without this background are simply inferior.

[@davidratcliffe1]

No relation, as Alvin always said during the intros.

[@joemysterymusic]

Outstanding. Spirit and now this. Don't know what your connection is with French TV but... No Title is a sick gem. The overall dynamics, the ripping section with the double stops, the change of tempo and Alvin's vocal are just great. And Goin Home played at what sounds like "basement" band practice loudness level. Perfect for a small venue and the reason that many people like myself think of TYA as one of the more underrated English bands of that period. Right up there with Cream in my book. Awesome.

'NO TITLE' DE ALVIN LEE, EL MANIFESTÓ DE UN BLUESMAN DEL ROCKN'ROLL: Es realmente una letra muy muy bien trabajada. Claro que se basa en la forma de los bluesmen clásicos de Estados Unidos, a los que Lee veneraba... Pero esta No Title ya fue moderna ... Es todo en lo que cree Alvin Lee. Y se le cree: Fue Rockstar desde Woodstock 69' hasta mediados de los 70'. Pero de ahí, prefirió rodar por Europa y el mundo tocando en clubes, bares y locales específicos para esta música... Tal como los bluesmen negros a los que venera....❤ Y después de No Title, se manda un Goin' Home, que en ese mismo 1969 lo convirtió en estrella de la música joven en el mundo... Su estilo de tocar hace que sea considerado el primer 'shredder' de la historia del Rock... Antes de él excelentes hubo, pero ninguno tocaba así de rápido como Alvin Lee ❤

Kudos to the French & German tv companies. They didn't cheap out by re-recording over programmes that had already aired. The British & American et al companies lost massive amounts of footage by taping over previously aired shows just to save money. Thereby losing brilliant historical footage of some of the greatest Rock n' Roll ever broadcast.
