I saw TYA about a year after they played Woodstock, was really impressed by his playing...here I am knocked out by his Wes Montogomery style octave solos- got to say he was ahead of his time in the rock genre for sure. NEVER saw him play anything other than his ES 335, interesting to hear him play a Strat!

I was into Jeff Beck, Hendrix and all that. I never had anyone turn me on to Ten Years After. I saw the Woodstock footage, but it wasn't the progressive blues like they play here. They took it to another level. He's not a real great vibrato player but he was playing really interesting stuff.

I asked her to find out more and it was Leo. After that she got Leo to sign one of my TYA albums for my birthday. He is a very distinguished elderly gentleman these days. The stories he could tell!

Sure you are. What's he doing, playing 16th notes and jerking around like Eyegor the hunchback? And sure Alvin Lee had talent, but tbh it was plain even in the late 60's that he had a couple of licks that'd show up in every song and that got old after awhile. Fast isn't necessarily good, it's just fast.

We all listened to TYA when the first two albums came out, but man, after a while you couldn't miss the stuck-in-a-rut repetition so the albums eventually got passed on. Gotta admit it's funny to see a 50+ year old man wearing leather pants and playing guitar, though. And maybe Leo Lyons was playing 32nd notes, I don't know, but it's only impressive to watch, IMO, for a few years during adolescence and then tastes change. Sounds like you've got a powerful crush on those guys, hmm? To each his own, I say.

from the Alvin Lee official instagram: “Ten Years After was called a 'Underground Movement'. It was the time when we could get on stage and play in street clothes, like jeans and t-shirts. You didn't have to bow and do the show-biz kind of thing. It was pure, one hundred percent music. That was what it was all about. It was about the playing, and of course the extended solos, and the ten minute songs. It might've been self indulgent, but it was a very healthy situation for a band to be able to play just the way they wanted to play. I think that attitude is, what is interesting people today. It's a good healthy attitude towards music”

In the early 80's they played a small nightclub in my town. I absolutely idolized Alvin, but was too young to go. My sister and a couple friends of mine went & ended up hanging with them all in the parking lot after the show sharing a smoke, (nothing illegal, of course). I was devastated to have missed that, but I did get to see them perform together once & saw Alvin solo two more times. Such an underrated master of the guitar. I guess he gave up on the Fender since it kept falling out of tune from the whammy bar, but he sure made it sing. RIP Alvin!

It was such a pleasure seeing TYA live way back when - I had the luxury of seeing them 3 times in very different venues - they shined in each one - blues, jazz, rock, they could do it all. Chicks head barely moves thruout the 1st track - while Leos head never stops. Its raw and beautiful. Theres random music and finesse melodies. I;m 50,000 miles outside my brain as I watch and listen to you. SSSHHHHH

Le groupe est tout simplement génial. Je l'ai découvert au début des années 70. Que de souvenirs!! Dommage qu' Alvin Lee n'a pas été reconnu à sa véritable valeur par les médias spécialisés. C'est pour moi le meilleur guitariste de tout les temps. Merci à celui qui a mis cette vidéo en ligne. ❤

I saw them in a place called Fitchburg, Mass. in 1977, from Boston I got pulled over on the hwy on the way home, tripping my brains out, 3 friends drunk and howling in the car, but I hadn't been drinking after the show, a taillight out, the state trooper Gabe me a huge break. Great show, the headline was, Alvin Lee ten years after.

@@JohnSmith-ww2pi The first time I ever saw Eddie play was at the bowling alley in Duarte, California...10 miles from where they lived. Eddie was using an ES-335 that night. Me & my brother walked up and talked to Eddie who stayed by his equipment during their break. I don't think we asked Ediie about Alvin Lee, what he thought about him, then, at that time...but I wished we would have. Alvin had to be one of guitarist influences on him...that's just a given. Ed didn't play any Alvin Lee/TYA songs that night. He/they did do La Grange (ZZ Top) and Nobody's Fault But Mine by Zepplin. And Runnin With the Devil, which Roth mentioned was an original. Roth also said they had just learned a new one...Nobody's Fault But Mine, before they played that cover tune. One of my brother's friends told him they saw Ed play, I'm Going Home at a gig somewhere. It's too bad he never mentioned Alvin...but that's just the way he was. About the only guitarist he ever mentioned was Clapton.

All their records then were the more expensive imports with the cool pllastic sleeve. Me and all my friends loved them. We were Beatles Hendrix Cream Mothers Jeff Beck late night pot smokers from Southern California. So we knew a good thing. Only 13 and we knew how to ......
