Alvin Lee - The Bluest Blues (REACTION) with my wife

[@edwardhubschman3610]

Alvin Lee is possibly the most under appreciated guitar master we’ve had, period!

[@jackempson3044]

Oh he's appreciated by many. One of the best.

[@busher69]

100% agree. He was one of the best.

[@Lane2268]

Agreed.

[@dalemcmillan7231]

Alvin Lee and Ten Years After performance of - l'm Going Home - from Woodstock in 1969 is phenomenal!!❤❤

[@hankmiller990]

that was epic. I was there. I was 17.

[@chitownlee]

The first slide guitar solo was George Harrison the second solo was Alvin Lee. Great song.

[@ezed3902]

Alvin Lee is a masterful guitar player. Very under rated!

[@dalemcmillan7231]

Alvin Lee was an incredible Guitarist! ❤❤

[@venividiviking]

💯% 👌

[@venividiviking]

Bloody hell...this is great 👌👌 Motel blues are another one of Alvin Lee's superblues. Thanks for upload👍 RIP, Mr Lee🙏

[@ziggymarlowe5654]

This is my favorite from Alvin Lee, incredible performance, that solo toward the end gives me goosebumps.

[@helenespaulding7562]

Me too, Ziggy.

[@DaveK0526]

One of the great, great blues songs of all time!

[@krisfox3537]

I thought I had heard the greatest guitar solos ever. And I've heard all of them since the 60's. But after hearing this last year on KZbin Alvin lee play this? This is my favorite guitar solo of all time. So good.

[@helenespaulding7562]

That guitar solo of Lee’s is right up there with David Gilmore’ solo in Comfortably Numb as one of the most emotive bits of guitar playing I’ve ever heard. Just magnificent

[@sergioforieri4965]

Alvin Lee is my all time favorite he made the E 335 Gibson really cry fantastic R.I.P. Alvin 🎸🔝

[@annemaclean6634]

This is so beautiful, with two amazing guitar solos, George Harrison first, and then the longer solo from Alvin Lee. This song is phenomenal in my opinion, absolutely epic, so emotional and powerful. Alvin Lee was an incredible musician, and I have a lot of fav songs from his band Ten Years After, including 'Hear Me Calling', 'Standing at the Station' and '50,000 Miles Beneath My Brain', TYA were a brilliant blues rock band. 👍👍

[@Jules-um4yy]

Love this song too Anne. Incredible blues song. It always affects me every time I hear it.

[@rafaelorantes7185]

George on the slide solo, Alvin on the second solo, both masters!

[@helenespaulding7562]

This is one of my favorite pieces of guitar work. Both Lee and Harrison do such a great job here. Lee had to be one of the most under appreciated great guitarists around

[@scotttrainer9704]

Alvin Lee was one of the greats.

[@JohnHanson-r1z]

George Harrison (Beatles) was on the slide and Alvin Lea the main solo

[@DakotaBorn-111]

Alvin Lee was very likely the best of his generation.

[@bobmessier5215]

For me, it's the greatest blues song ever made and I'm a blues aficionado.

[@sam-wz8tu]

Agree 💯%.

[@Jules-um4yy]

Such an intense, heartbreaking song with Alvin Lee's amazing guitar and lyrics. You can just feel his pain coming through.💔 Thanks so much guys for reacting to this huge talent!

[@jackempson3044]

He had great stage presence when he played. I still remember his cool shoes at Woodstock. He put on the best show at Woodstock.

[@jackempson3044]

The radio stations hardly played it yet it grew into A classic. Many didn't know it existed. It was too just good to ignore.

[@helenespaulding7562]

I just discovered it for myself a few years ago. I was gobsmacked.

[@stevepas1]

Thank you for Alvin Lee. Your only scratching the surface. There are dozens of more superstars to hear. Santana, roy buchanan, blue oyster cult, Johnny winter, stevie ray, mountain, humble pie, Albert king, jimi, otis rush, mike Bloomfield, rory gallagher and 50 others I left out. ❤

[@RandyGabbert]

Blues music and sorrowful drinking are more or less synonymous. His album "On The Road To Freedom" with Mylon LeFevre is very good.

[@jackempson3044]

That 335 Gibson sounds so sweet.

[@scottrbloom]

Brilliant guitarist. There are plenty of speed demon guitarists out there, but Alvin Lee played with such precision and tonal quality along with his speed he influenced legions of followers. If you haven't reacted to his "I'd Love To Change the World" with Ten Years After, you should. The lyrics are pretty dated, but the guitar work is so beautiful.

[@rayj1011]

I was going to make the same recommendation.

[@dgator3599]

I guess you can tell by now that Alvin Lee is known for his excellent guitar playing. I've always admired him.

[@dannymoore6886]

Alvin was one of the greatest guitarists ever. I was fortunate enough to see him live once. He was the opening act for ZZ Top and Journey. I could have went home after his show. I had already seen the best performance of the night.

[@Lane2268]

you two are Romanian, I will one day Lord willing visit your country, and the heaviest building in the world. Doubt I would see Bran castle but perhaps a few other not so Touristey, I love Albert Lees music you guys really had a wonderful reaction, thank you. God Bless.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you kindly. Hope one day you'll visit. It's so worth it! 😁 Much love from both of us 💚

[@frankwoodward6388]

alvin lee and ten years after.....top shelf

[@paulauvray1962]

RIP Alvin we miss you 🤔

[@michaelgrillo4333]

If your looking for an album by Alvin Lee which features this song and several others that showcase his skills check out the album titled "Pure Blues - Alvin Lee & Ten Years After" and of course his last album titled "Alvin Lee - The last Show". Rest in Peace Alvin

[@paul00390]

I just knew that you beautiful people would love this.

[@Ronster64]

This is my choice of song to play at my funeral. It's so deep to me. Love it

[@johnbumgardner7977]

Love Alvin Lee and George Harrison two great guitarist

[@user-tb9dx9mg2njsb]

He was one of the greatest RIP AL🌹

[@jackempson3044]

That's the blues.

[@nancysmith38]

Thanks for checking him out- he doesn’t get the reverence he deserves.

[@andrewmason7207]

flies are everywhere here to , cheers guys , love this song

[@79BlackRose]

I would much rather listen to songs that are melancholic. This song is so full of emotion in the lyrics, vocals and guitar solos.

[@cletushouse906]

Good one guys. Glad you finally got to this one.

[@andrewmason7207]

alvin up their with the best. ten years after what a band man . opened woodstock and blew everyone away

[@Straydogger]

They didn't open Woodstock. They played on Sunday night.

[@jordan390a]

Slow Blues in "C", Help Me, I'd Love to Change the World, and a dozen others make Ten Years After a deep rabbit hole...Alvin Lee is right up there beside Peter Green as the best British guitarists of the 60's and 70's....

[@theeardrafter]

Have to heal that soul....heal that soul

[@richeaton5752]

Try "Slow Blues in C" by Ten Years After RIP Alvin. Thank You!

[@James-vh9go]

Great choice. I would suggest the version off the "Recorded Live" album. Really good blues rock. The second lead will blow you away.

[@richeaton5752]

@@James-vh9go I like this one... kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6Cbpp2llJ52fNk

[@KL-mt9yk]

The crying guitar was provided by George Harrison. OK, a lesser known guitarist, but still. Check what Alvin had to say about him and how he was motivated to really give his best afterwards,

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction! You're right, this is a beautiful song.

[@irgounemeth4645]

George Harrison on slide guitar (first solo). RIP George...

[@franksullivan1873]

Sometimes it’s for the best.

[@jamesvomsaal]

The first guitar solo was George Harrison the second was Alvin Lee

[@billg763]

A beautiful song by Alvin Lee. In this theme another song you may care to listen to is "Come Back to Me" by Uriah Heep. Singer John Lawton's anguish is palpable.

[@roborr5287]

Great show as ever. You might like King King from Scotland, a track called Jealousy.

[@helenespaulding7562]

Hundreds of great song per year from mid-60’s to 90’s…that’s thousands of songs you have to go. Don’t even try to hear them all. I’ve had to give up on that. I’m 77 and still discovering great music from the past…… and present.

[@robertwatson2823]

Thank you so much for reacting to one of my favorite guitarists!! If you get an opportunity, check out "Slow Blues in C".

[@michaelvaristo989]

George Harrison playing slide guitar at intro.

[@dwhite849]

Truly the Blues

[@tcanfield]

I really love this one ! The only song that comes close to the brokenness here is Boz Scaggs' "Lost It".

[@BrianR.]

The first solo is George Harrison.

[@OddBall1958]

More Ten Years After! Alvin Lee was voted fastest guitarist several times thru his lifetime. This song features George Harrison (Beatles) on slide guitar. Bluest Blues was voted to be the greatest blues song ever written in 1995 You should also check out "Good Morning Little School Girl" Live kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2expJ6CrrKjiMU "ID Love To Change The World" As relevant today as it was in 72 kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4aqdmuPZZxgaM0

[@johnhenderson.9098]

This one is the bluest blues, without a doubt 😎

[@franciscialini7489]

❤❤🎉🎉😊😊

[@deansmith2790]

Sounds a lot like a Robert Cray song. Of course this song pre-dates Robert Cray

[@ToddSauve]

Andrei and Dominika, tell me something. When you were teens and growing up in Romania, did you have much access to blues music like this great guitarist Alvin Lee? It is clear you are at an age where you are drawn to the musical drama and comfort only the blues and blues rock can offer. Did you hear this very much on the radio or have the great blues guitarists giving concerts in your country, or does Romania have a batch of blues guitarists that we in the West have never heard of? Please let us know when you first were exposed to this music. 🎸💖💖💖

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Hello there. Thanks for the message. In both our countries, Romania and Poland, we did not really have access or listened to music from abroad that much. Of course, once we were more open to the world, the music was flooding from all over. I'm sure there are great blues musicians in both of our countries, but we never listened to them. Only thanks to this channel really, we are discovering how amazing and diverse music can be. Warm greetings from Romania 💚

[@ToddSauve]

@@MerchantOfAlba We can tell that your are both big fans of the blues and blues-rock, so we hope you two find all the great music this genre has to offer. Getting out from under the Soviet thumb is a great blessing for your countries! ☺❤

[@venividiviking]

Recommendation... Allman brothers: Soulshine. Thank me later 😉😄

[@PaulStreet-nl7nq]

Great guitar playing but the lyrics are a bit painting by numbers, try I'd love to change the world next

[@rickc661]

rolling stone mag called. L. rondstat's tune ' long long time ' the all time cry in beer .... Utube. Midnight special 1973. She didn't write it.

[@thoru4367]

Isn't it George Harrisson's song?

[@jonpriest]

try idolize you by smokestack lighting.

[@pablomazzeo8540]

the guitar sound a little to Clapton or Knopfler great blues

[@busher69]

One of Alvin Lee's best efforts. Awesome song.
