Alvin Lee (Ten Years Later) Old Grey Whistle Test - Hey Joe

Alvin Lee had style and soul for the blues. R.I.P. Great One.

[@wecandobetter9821]

Alvin Lee and Terry Kath are to great guitarist who never seem to be mentioned with the others. We fans know how talented each man was. Thanks for the memories RIP

[@mariahooks797]

I totally agree. Both Alvin and Terry are some of the best guitarists ever yet they are overlooked and nobody ever writes an article about them.

[@usmessenger3199]

YES,ALVIN LEE,TERRY KATH,ARE TWO OF THE BEST GUITARIST EVER.😎🎸🔊🎶☮️🎼 BOB.

[@GBeret83]

For years I've called Alvin Lee the greatest guitarist of the classic rock era that no one ever seems to talk about, and that's a sad ass commentary. I'll tell you right now, Alvin makes my top 5 all-time seven days a week and twice on Sunday along with (in no particular order) Stevie Ray Vaughan, Duane Allman, Johnny Winter, & Jimi Hendrix. No disrespect intended to Terry Kath or the great Irish guitarist Rory Gallagher who also seems to be on that overlooked list.

[@wecandobetter9821]

GBeret83, Man I just love love love your list as it would be mine almost exactly. Your one smart dude👌👌👌✌️✌️ Thanks for sharing your wisdom👍👍

Fully agree. Rory Gallagher and Peter Green are in a similar situation. They have all left this mortal coil.

[@glen7228]

I hate to admit this, but I always forget how much I love listening to Alvin Lee play guitar until I hear him again. Should be right up there on any top ten best guitarists ever list, truly one of the best.

ALVIN WAS A GIFT FROM GOD R.I.P. Cheers.

[@WilliamWeaver-wc3mx]

Saw Alvin at St. Petersburg Bayfront Center circa 1973 . He had put on a great show that night ! He did an oncore, and the crowd went wild again . When they finished the house lights came on and the crowd started to leave . My friends and I were sitting off to the side letting the crowd thin before we got up to leave . As we were about to vacate we saw a roadie run out frantically and set up a microphone . We all looked at each other knowing Alvin was coming back out ! We rushed to the front of the stage where the mic was standing . Alvin and the band came back out again and played to what may have been just a couple hundred fans . One of my many favorite concert memories ! That I can recall anyway ! 😮😂

Thank you for your service, shipmate! I sailed with the Midway battle group in 1985. That was cool, because my Dad had sailed on the USS FDR (CV-42) in 1950-53. I see the Midway whenever I get to San Diego now.

And he did it with no effects, and that was not a studio retake/retake/edited edited retake. That was done cold. I saw Alvin Lee live in Pittsburgh,I always said, and I still say, he is the most accurate guitar player I have ever seen live...not only that, he’s doing it on a 335. Not the easiest guitar to play those lo bar chords on.. That was a different era. It was a pleasure in those days to turn your radio on. Fantastic musicians and bands constantly. Not only Alvin Lee, the Beatles, the stones, Led Zeppelin, cream, Santana, Joe Cocker, Hendrix, Joplin, the kinks, moody blues, Allman brothers, grateful dead, The doors, Robin Trower, Pink Floyd, yes, iron butterfly, Chicago, Creedence, Jefferson airplane, on and on and on, none of this synthetic synthesized computer generated drum machine music that we have today. I never turn the radio on in my car anymore. Never. Alvin Lee was part of the best years of rock ‘n’ roll. He was right up there at the top with the best... millennials and generation X, you missed it!!

[@stevensapyak7971]

7.26.19. Some very heavy hitters, you penned there! Not very likely to ever be seen again ❗️what a time to be young🎸

[@mariahooks797]

I was lucky enough to see most of the artists listed above. Didn't see the Dead but they were dead to me..never liked them. The rest of the list were in their own singular way so distinct and had the purity of their own sound, you can't pick any of them out and say "well, they sound like that other group". Such an array of unique talent. So glad I saw them when I did and the tickets were outrageously priced...something like $3.50. Those were indeed the days. I enjoyed every single concert although I regret that I was a bit too high at some of them but, hey, it was part of the whole experience at the time. You really became one with the artists onstage and with their beautiful songs. Good clean acid, peyote or other head drugs helped you really get into it. And I never turn the radio on either....what the hell for? some rap crap? Some sleaze twerking when you're trying to find something decent on the tube? Give me a break! You missed the best generation of musicians ever. I don't think it can ever be replicated. I just found a ticket stub I had in a box in an old drawer..amazed to see it was for the Jimi Hendrix Experience in Miami on Nov. 24, 1968. I don't remember being there at all. And have no idea who drove back home to Ft. Lauderdale. I'm sure I had a great time but sometimes, like I said, I had the tendency to get too high. It's somewhere in my memory bank, I'm sure. It would be great to undergo regression therapy and bring it out of your subconscious, wouldn't it? Like seeing it for the first time. What a trip our generation's been on. We've been some of the luckiest people that have ever lived on this big blue beautiful marble zooming through the cosmos.

[@michaelvc2884]

Good job mentioning the Kinks, definitely my favorite band. I will say this isn't lost on all us youngsters. Also there are some good modern bands. Jack White and The Raconteurs are pretty good for adding a new twist to good old fashioned sounds, and my personal favorite modern band The Nude Party, sounds very much like the late 60s through 70s, I suggest you look them up (a six piece band that makes all their own sounds).

[@murdock8068]

@@michaelvc2884 Jack White is a good songwriter. His guitar skill to the untrained ear is atrocious. I like the garage feel of his music but technically in guitar is ok. Im 40 so im in-between the older gen and the new. These new kids can technically tear up a guitar. They just need to be taught that SOUL is what these dudes had. Told my friends son that while we were pickin Saturday night. The old dudes had it all plus it was new. We just rehash it.

I knew Alvin from the time I was about 14 years old, not only could he play Rock & Roll he was a great finger picker ala Chet Atkins. He came from Mansfield and he and his band the Blue Jays often played at my local Youth Club. As time passed by I formed a group and supported him, Boz Burrell later to join Bad Company was in my band and Fats Dean later to join Brian Auger. Alvin liked to play my guitar but as I gradually became a jazz guitarist we didn't meet all that often although, I remember asking the Marquee Club to give him a gig and saw him playing guitar for the Walker Brothers. Years later he lived next door to Boz in Spain and Boz died during a rehearsal with him. I frequently posted guitar charts to him via Boz. Soon, after the time Alvin has his Gibson stolen I announced over the microphone (during a gig at the Nottingham Rainbow Rooms) that I had a Gibson that fitted that description (with the stickers he liked). Someone in the audience phoned him and he came in ten minutes later red in the face and absolutely steaming, it took awhile for him to see the joke.

The best performance of Woodstock.

he was a superstar . As a kid i loved him - he was our hero all over the west indies - RIP Alvin we will love you till we pass away

[@deniscarolin4087]

Holy trinity of rock guitar-Jimi Henddix (most innovative), Alvin Lee (nobody cleaner and faster) and Jimmy Page (most intricate). I can't believe he's not in hall of fame. Ten Years After was an awesome band. Leo Lyons was my favorite bass player, too. RIP Alvin. I can't keep from crying. Still love the first album, A Space In Time and Rock And Roll Music To The World- three of the best albums in my collection. Rock on, brother.

He was a guitar god but I think he didn't reach superstardom because he didn't have enough great songs of his own, only great renditions of blues classics...

I’d find a way to work Blackmore into the convo…

Элвин Ли был одним из лучших гитаристов в мире .

[@windyhillbomber]

That was one helluva performance and yes….Alvin and Terry Kath are the two best post Hendrix blues guitarists of their generation.

[@clouddog2393]

Agree David . Both up there with the best .

[@jeffnichols207]

World class at any time.

[@MrMojabo]

I saw him play this tune at the Stone on Broadway. Alvin was a man's guitar player. Lots of clones and copy cats out there trying to play like other guitarists. But there will never be another Alvin Lee. No one can or will play like him

[@3peppone]

Alvin number one

[@chocodiledundee1]

Alvin Lee totally legendary

[@keithlauderjr1691]

Great Clip! Enjoyed it immensely. Historical.

[@iamanovercomer3253]

Alvin Lee and Jeff Beck are underrated 🎸🎶🎵 players . 2 of the best artists ever

[@blueskycrying]

Alvin Lee the one and only, man did he make that great Hendrix song his own, because he himself was a original and a fellow Woodstock alumni.

[@mariorabottini5687]

Absolutely awesome is an understatement!

[@Pushyhog]

Got to shake alvin hand, he’s a true great person. One of the best guitarist ever born.

[@kaspricius1]
