[@dadmateryn8092]

You are the first and only person that played the full uncut version. You got my respect! 😎👍

[@shannonvanpatten8341]

Imagine you're at Woodstock, it's about midnight and you're starting to come down when this starts

[@AliasMark69]

YES!, Alvin Lee is considered among the best rock guitarist. Another Full Length version is great.... NO SHORT CUTS!

[@alexkoronec4326]

Yes, saw them live in Germany 🇩🇪

[@bobschenkel7921]

I want to thank you for playing the full triple-screen version of this song. When i saw the thumbnail of it I clicked on it right away. One of my favorite performances at Woodstock. Ten Years After was Alvin Lee-Guitar and Vocals, Leo Lyons-Bass and Lee Churchill-Drums. "I'm Going Home (by Helicopter)" an adaptation for Woodstock due to the traffic mess, is really a medley of a bunch of different blues tunes including: "Baby, Please Don't Go", "Devil With The Red Dress On", "Blue Suede Shoes", "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On", "Shake It Baby Shake It", "The Stomp" and i may have missed one or two. And a full grown watermelon at the end as a reward. This segment of the movie "Woodstock" was directed by Martin Scorsese, n Academy Award winner, for other stuff.

[@bobschenkel7921]

Oops, Ric Lee on Drums, and Chick Churchill on keys. Got a little confused, I was so excited to see this again.

[@davidcochran6291]

They used to send 'Woodstock" out around the movie theaters once a year or so. We had a 'drive-in' theater that would broadcast over an FM frequency so you could play the movie through your car stereo. That was always a blast. Still watching it 10-15 years later in the theater with the air hanging heavy with smoke brought back memories. It's been awhile since I've seen it as a whole but with YT I'll call up a song every now and then. Usually it's Santana or this one, or Joe Cocker's send up of the Beatles 'A Little Help From My Friends'. Anyway, good times and thanks for being willing to play the 'old' music. Just a side note, this was before guitarist's had a floor full of effects pedals.

[@BritIronRebel]

Not only was Alvin Lee a phenomenal guitarist, he was one truly humble and kibd man from all accounts. A good human being! Please check out "I Cant Keep From Crying Sometimes" live. Unbelievable!

[@scotttrainer9704]

They put on probably the best concert I've ever been to, and I've seen most of the greats during the 70's.

[@jackempson3044]

"The Bluest Blues" is an awesome Ten Years after song. You won't regret it.

[@AliasMark69]

This is the stuff of LEGENDARY STATUS. I saw Alvin do this song at the 30th anniversary of Woodstock in 1999 I was only 25 feet away from the stage and was amazed at his talents.

[@dabassmann]

@AliasMark69, I saw them in 1978 in Kansas City, a tiny venue that only held 2000 people. The title of their show was "Ten Years Later". He interacted with all of us with stories about Woodstock, the brown acid, the other groups, the rain and the mud. It was a 4 hour long show of the most unbelievable music, stories, lights, and just pure fun!!! Def a concert I will never forget. A Space In Time is my favorite album of theirs.

[@AliasMark69]

I would have loved to be there for that show. At Woodstock 30th he did "I'd Love To Change The World" with a ten minute solo added. The man is too cool and damn good@@dabassmann

[@bigbow62]

Down-n-Dirty rock/blues guitar playing at its very best and yes truly a performance for the ages ! ✌️🙂

[@jamesscura7122]

Most concluded Ten Years After was the best Woodstock act.

[@raleighsmalls4653]

semi-true.

[@janetf23]

This performance was such an impassioned tribute to all those who went before and influenced him👏🎸🎶

[@AliasMark69]

Even the movie of this performance was epic on the big screen in 1970. Imagine being there in the dark hearing this for miles around.

[@bella-xp7qd]

I was there and you're correct it was amazing.

[@leekitchen8390]

Kudos for playing the track in it's entirety.

[@jackempson3044]

He's the best boogie guitarist ever.

[@unclephil7650]

To me this was the highlight of the whole festival. I wasn't there but it was a highlight of the movie anyway. LOL

[@garym54]

Their radio hit was “I’d Love To Change The World”. Great studio guitar work on that one. The entire album A Space In Time is a under appreciated masterpiece.

[@hog7203]

Excellent album. I think the song One of These Days is my favorite on it.

[@xcanuck4]

❤Alvin Lee at his best !!!🎸🎸

[@DrewG-wd8ql]

RIP Alvin Lee, the fastest fingers in rock. Thanks for this.

[@aWOKEn1445]

I believe they had to get to the festival by helicopter bc of the traffic jams and crowds, hence his reference to goin' home by helicopter at the start.

[@AliasMark69]

"I'd Love To Change The World" will show you how good these guys are and You'll love the lyrics.

[@timbriere2325]

The camera work from Woodstock is spectacular. Oscar winning. Alvin Lee got a watermelon award for his efforts..

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

You have to remember all the artists food and drink backstage had, allegedly, been dosed with acid. And no, most of them didn't know. I'm always amazed anyone is standing up let alone playing.

[@jackempson3044]

Yeah man, don't do the brown acit!

[@r.awilliams9815]

They played this barn burner as the final song of an hour-long set! That's Alvin Lee on guitar, and he was one of the great guitar slingers of the 60s and 70s. Try I'd Love To Change The World and Help Me from TYA, and The Bluest Blues from his solo career, with George Harrison of the Beatles sitting in on slide guitar.

[@rghilino6734]

Alvin Lee...oh my gosh so good.

[@wanderer0617]

Oh yes, Alvin Lee! This is awesome to watch and listen to again. ❤

[@jahl14]

Fingers of gold!!

[@hollywoodjoe123]

Thank you for posting this - ALVIN LEE was one of the greatest guitar men ever - TEN YEARS AFTER was a band that is under rated - thank you again - Joe

[@AliasMark69]

Massive KUDOS to the drummer and bass player.

[@lindakoschwitz7098]

Talented as fuck..speeding his brains out and playing to half a million people...his name is ALVIN LEE!!!

[@karlaiken2845]

Alvin Lee, the original shredder on the guitar. He was great.

[@bradlymiller4936]

Alvin Lee, Captain Speed Fingers, The Fastest Gutiar in the West!!!! You should rent the movie documentary Woodstock. Well worth your time.

[@williamward446]

Saw them several times, none better than at the Eastown Theater in Detroit... They were the headliners, and The Allman Brothers Band was the opening act on their first trip to the Motor City... Alvin Lee and Duane Allman on one show -- hard to beat that...

[@supafrogg258]

Alvin Lee was the guitarist for Ten Years After, a late '60s British Blues band. "I'm Going Home" was a Boogie Woogie fast blues composition by the band, which they'd perform as a set climax. Ten Years After disbanded in 1975. Alvin Lee died in 2013 of complications from a surgical procedure.

[@charlesrubio7650]

Alvin Lee is the lead guitarist and vocals And yes he was a highly regarded guitarist in his day. Check out their studio version "I Love to Change the World" His guitar playing showcases why he was so highly regarded. He makes that guitar of his sing! Sadly he passed away March of 2013, He was 69 years old.

[@tonetone7572]

Alvin Lee 60's 70's guitar slinging hero and original shredder unbelievable tone, powerful tasty burning red hot riffs firing out of his Gibson 335 . nice to see the uncut version.

[@DrewG-wd8ql]

They had been a band for several years playing under small record labels and were invited to Woodstock because they had quite a following. This set came after a two hour rain delay and this song was how they finished their set. Needless a big record label saw the performance and it didn't take long to sign them.

[@suesmith7968]

I always expect his guitar to burst into flames!! 🔥☮️❤️

[@pebblehilllane]

Alvin Lee was one of the greatest guitarists ever, but his name is hardly if ever mentioned in modern day lists of the best ever. He deserves far more credit and respect than he now gets. Alvin Lee's guitar, 'Big Red,' is one of the most famous guitars of all time. In my opinion, and based only on the movie Woodstock and not from having been there, I rank this performance, Santana's Soul Sacrifice and Sly and the Family Stone's performance as the three greatest most electrifying performances at Woodstock.

[@andrasczehlarik9180]

ALVIN WAS A GIFT FROM GOD.R.I.P. ALVIN.🍉CHEERS.

[@Papabob1957]

One of my favorite bands!! So many great songs, I’d love to change the world, working on the road, 50,000 miles beneath my brain, standing at the station, I woke up this morning and so many more

[@charlesrubio7650]

there were so many great outstanding performances at Woodstock... This was one of them Alvin Lee was some kind guitar player

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

Ten Years After are Ric Lee on drums, Chick Churchill on organ, Leo Lyons on bass and Alvin Lee on guitar...check out their live album, "Undead" for more fret-burning virtuosity...

[@kevinlundgren1169]

Alvin Lee is one of my guitar gods !! Just wait until you check out , I Can't Keep From Crying , live at Winter land in 1975 , WOW , !!

[@Brandi6666]

This is my jam🤘❤️ alvin lee is my #3 most played in my collection. One of the finest live tune

[@fenderchamp8241]

AL & TYA have some wonderful bluesrock tunes. One of my favorite bands.

[@johnterry1852]

At this time in history, Alvin Lee was considered the fastest guitarist alive. I think he's one of the greatest underrated guitarists of his time.

[@jackempson3044]

He's not underrated. He's known as one of the best. I think he's the best boogie guitarist ever.

[@Brandi6666]

Real rock fans hate folks that say that 💩 just because you never heard of alvin doesnt mean he was underated, so stop insulting alvin and all the other legends you consider underated. Im surmising you are a bubble gum music fan 🖕

[@mor4725]

@@jackempson3044 He actually is, he is left out of / or ranked low on many top lists and left out as an influence by many. It are always the usual suspects that are named, he is often overlooked. Say Hendrix, Clapton, Page or Blackmore and most guitarists know who you talk about, say Lee, then they say who?

[@bernardk5189]

​@@mor4725that's exactly what I was going to say. Rolling Stone always leaves him out of the top 100... Amazing. You nailed it, wish more people appreciated how great he was.

[@raleighsmalls4653]

Phil Keegee

[@aramhamparian9641]

Alvin Lee and Ten Years After, one of the GOAT bands!!! Alvin gets slept on as a guitarist.

[@edbizz3956]

Never gets old Big Red is priceless. I'm going home see my baby 👶

[@hog7203]

He's quick as lightning on the guitar. I love their cover of the song Spoonful. I think Alvin plays every guitar blues/ rock lick ever concieved in that song.

[@johnnypipe]

Woodstock was a happening and I am proud to say I was there. Thanks for playing the songs all the way through before the interview.

[@AliasMark69]

JM, you just added another Legendary name to your kick ass Playlist and I just smile again. #74

[@lindakoschwitz7098]

I LOVE that you don't stop the songs..you just let them ride!!!

[@stephendewees-hz6ui]

RIP Alvin Lee! During his heyday he was rated the fastest guitarist and he was surely one of the greatest! FYI, in subsequent years he did what he loved best, spent his career playing I've only. Be sure to check out "Choo Choo Mama", my personal favorite.

[@acb9231]

One of Woodstock’s best performances! Next, ya gotta check out Good Morning Little School Girl. Strap yourself in before listening to this one! ✌️

[@der5343]

I love your reaction. This is one of my favorite from the whole Woodstock Concert. You should listen to Santana too with soul sacifice in Woodstock. Its great!

[@clifton8929]

'Id Love To Change The World,' 'Love Like A Man,' and 'Good Morning Little School Girl' are all songs to give Ten Years After. They got their name because they started as a band Ten Year After Elvis had his first hit. Great reaction and excellent commentary.

[@petercardarelli7891]

I got to see them in Syracuse ny..and you really don't appreciate how good Alvin Lee really was unless you seen them live in concert..was one of my favorite concerts I have ever been to in my life..he was one of the best guitar players that ever lived..may he r.i.p.

[@artfisk3]

alvin lee !! bluest blues next please

[@MusicMan61-j7o]

ICONIC!!!

[@robertdoble7665]

Legend.

[@BOBKESSLER48]

I saw Alvin Lee several times and he was just amazing. The last time we were maybe 25 feet from the stage and to my amazement never found the music too loud. And his vocals was excellent to boot. Gone too soon! R.I.P. Alvin!

[@dphipps3631]

Alvin Lee was declared the fastest hands in the West. Wow.. what a player. I listen to this performance every time I feel like packing up playing and I'm soon plugging in again.

[@KidBklyn]

Alvin Lee....one of the best most under rated guitarists ever who never really got the recognition he deserved. Check out 'The Bluest Blues'

[@charlesrubio7650]

hey there... first coming to your channel ... I see you were doing reaction to 10 Years After! Oh yeah! And because you reacted to this great performance I subscribed! Thank you for showcasing this band

[@patricklemeur4607]

ALVIN LEE absolument fantastique.....

[@AliasMark69]

Hey my friend, the full long versions of this and Santana's Soul Sacrifice make you the most seriously cool reactor on YT... Just sayin'

[@dkat1108]

Alvin Lee just sooo good......

[@glenncanale9225]

Forgot how great Alvin Lee and Band were Just fantastic. 55 years ago. Yes it is a water mellon.

[@user-hu7en6ur9g]

thanks for this post. Alvin was a rock god. RIP

[@stevedotwood]

My top favorite by them is "Standing At The Station" - It has a great guitar solo, organ solo, and the song has some great switch-ups - and at the end, a real train is incorporated in the mix. Very exciting.

[@pardeeplace4480]

Its like an 80's guitarist traveled back in time to the sixties

[@laburgy]

Who were the 80s guitarists listeniing to growing up ...Alvin Lee

[@mrshifter8220]

Alvin Lee..............one of the best

[@cookmoore3736]

He, they are the best!

[@jeffmartin1026]

This was fairly early Saturday night. They were followed by Mountain, Grateful Dead, Creedence, Janis, Sly, The Who and Jefferson Airplane when the sun came up on Sunday morning.

[@user-du8yc2zw2q]

Great band! Alvin Lee guitarist

[@petegarrido5406]

You played the original whole song..Bravo !👍

[@glenncanale9225]

At the end he picks up his water melon and goes home.

[@waltmoryn48]

Great Job playing the "Long Version.". I was 21 at that time.😄😄😄😄

[@bruceramsey6725]

This is rock and roll!!!

[@robertvasquez2738]

Love it❤🤘🏼

[@owtll1]

I was fortunate enough to have seen Alvin 3 times 72 with Ten Years After then 75 or 76 with Ten Years Later then Alvin Lee and company my favorite guitar player

[@gingerbaker_toad696]

My father used to make me mixtapes of the music he likes, when i lived with my mother.. i am forever grateful for that. And this song in this version is one of the ones that i couldnt get out of my head back then ❤ *me drawing Dragon Ball Z characters and listening to (stuff like) this all day is still such a vivid memory some 20 years later

[@johnhickman2033]

Nice intelligent reaction...

[@roberttarlo395]

Check out a space in time. AWSOME!

[@89801wink]

The one and only Alvin Lee. Check out his solo stuff. Maybe Bluest Blue. One of my favorite songs of all time.

[@roydavis5222]

I saw Alvin Lee live in 1977....

[@trumpthis2]

Their album a spacer time is amazing and if you haven’t heard it take the time to enjoy real rock n roll

[@baytownbert2]

This is a Vietnam helicopter ride after being wounded.

[@archieleogilbert6439]

Check out the "bluest blues" great solo

[@chuckyanus3563]

Definitely a different era. You had to be there to understand everything going on in the world. The Vietnam War, assassinations of all kinds of leaders, the peace and hippie movements, introduction of recreational drugs (not the crap people are into today that just destroy lives and families), and yes, the absolute best rock music and musicians ever. Glad you saw this amazing performance on tape, which combines a few of the elements I listed above :)

[@xflyingtiger]

Yes, as @dadmateryn8092 said, the full version. You can also find this song, better quality sound, on the Woodstock album.

[@AliasMark69]

I own a Gibson ES 335 Guitar just like Alvin has there, but I can't play mine like he does, I don't even try to match his skills.

[@benmelich8220]

You should check out the version on their live album, as well!

[@AliasMark69]

Carlos and Alvin and their bands were all totally Stoned/HIGH/Tripping at the time of their performance. The entire place was one big cannabis/drug influenced peaceful (mostly) party like never before or since.

[@danbailey8182]

I agree he is one of the best. This is a short version of this song there is actually a much longer one my buddy had. My son wanted to know if I heard of this guy so I broke out some of my old LPs. My son wanted to know what he did after this song and I told him he went home. Plus trying to convince my wife he was not a black guy from the Mississippi Delta he was a white guy from England was impossible. My father who was there tried to tell her but she would not listen until she saw the video.

[@evelynharron4718]

See another side of Alvin Lee singing ' Bluest Blues' it's a masterpiece.

[@Sopmylo]

Interesting to hear what they edited out for the album version.

[@johnmathieu3430]

Check out Johnny Winter, and Leslie West from Mountain and of course Hendrix if you haven't already. You have already seen Santana so that should cover it the guitar gods at that concert. Oh and Paul Butterfield. He was also at the Monterey Festival, which was the first huge festival of the 60s.

[@johnlillis1161]

JMBOY TV give a listen too Ten Years After Good Morning Little School Girl or 50'000 Miles Beneath My Brain both great songs thanks

[@defshepherd9042]

No KZbin in them days all learnt by ear endless lifting of record needles off LP,s and rewinding cassette tapes Alvin was about 25 then and started playing at 13 A class act

[@donaldleider7382]

Your shirt matches perfectly Woodstock actually took place in Bethel.

[@rafehr1378]

Alvin's brother on the drums

[@andrasczehlarik9180]

No brother.
