TEN YEARS AFTER - Spoonful (1968)

[@gradybird3336]

As an older dude who grew up in this era, it amazes me how this generation of musicians were all so young! What a time that was.

[@michaelpatish7248]

Schools still taught music back in the day.

[@djinnmagik]

They were playing for the love of the muzik and then letting the fame and all that comes with it follow 💯😁❤️‍🔥🎶

[@Heather-r2n]

Is 2024 and I'm just now listening to this Alvin Lee still kicks ass!

[@djinnmagik]

Timeless CLASSIC ROCK 🪨

ALVIN WAS one of the BEST GUITARISTS ALIVE AND HE COULD SING. R.I.P

[@ChrisSmith-xh9wb]

I always felt that Alvin went for speed and virtuosity at the expense of lyricism and musicality. Good technically, but too repetitive. I would not rate him as high as Hendrix .

[@MrMseugenio]

I did not know he was dead!...

[@MrMseugenio]

How and when was that? Could I see on youtube?

[@MrMseugenio]

Let me see then

Очень не Хило!

[@williamhiggins842]

You can hear the soul of the man and you feel the Blues runnin' through his veins in this version of this classic

[@PedroGarcia-vz4ry]

Alvin Lee, Rory Gallagher and Roy Buchanan were probably the most criminally underrated guitarists of their time. Jeff Healey was another one that came a bit later.

[@Ejb905]

I met Jeff Healey, nice guy. Sold a few of his trad jazz albums

[@robertschmahl6325]

Don’t forget Ronnie Montrose!!

[@dirkulbricht9985]

well, we know that great guitar plyaers because they had quite a lot of appreciation back then including radio and tv appearances. so certainly not underrated, rather forgotten.

[@Shamacanada]

Love your list, I'd add Ian Thornly to round out the modern contingent.

[@ikoiko2631]

Saw him with Johnny winter one fateful night back in 81 I think....that night will go with me to my grave, when they put me under for my dirt nap, my soul will be remembering the slide work, the picking...the sweat flying...it was outside philly"The Brandywine club"....RIP Alvin....anybody who reads this GO SEE JOHNNY , he still Rocks HARD

[@daisywrabbit]

Alvin and TYA, just magnificent. ⚡️❤️⚡️✌️

[@Byrontheone]

One of our best guitarists, without a doubt.

[@RightOne40]

My husband had the pleasure of seeing them in Providence, RI in 1971 with Humble pie

[@JumpinJAKEFlash]

RightOne40 that’s awesome! What a lucky man! I’m jealous lol

[@stephenrolfe3171]

@@JumpinJAKEFlash Saw them open for The Mothers of Invention in a tent in Framingham, MA in 1969.

[@vernonbird4590]

I saw Humble Pie on April 12, 1971, opening for Black Sabbath, in Alexandria, VA (In a 3000 capacity skating rink!). A 16 year old's very first concert. I saw TYA in Birmingham, AL in '73, and there again about '75 (or '76). Alvin was in the process of leaving TYA at that time, so I didn't expect him to show up. But he did. Who'd they play with in Providence? Was it close to April?

[@delta9779]

have always loved this song. Heard it by so many artists but I got to say this version is unreal. Ten Years after you Rock. Alvin Lee wow just wow that man had soul.

[@johnlany3940]

Seen playing this at Chicago stadium 78/79

[@keithgw2777]

The youth of today & beyond will sadly miss bands like Ten Years After, Yardbirds etc........ Great bands that wrote songs that had meaning and substance. Rock & Roll will never die.

[@andythomas706]

Meaning and substance? What? Ten Years After? Clearly I'm missing something!

[@andythomas706]

Who gives a shit what you think. You are clearly a fool!

[@cgavin1]

They're out there just under the radar. Check out Black Pistol Fire - that dude has enough rock n roll for the next 20 years or so all by himself. :)

[@victorialove6391]

Substance it did :D

[@vardziegirl]

i agree with you...ummm...Alvin Lee wrote most of the songs he performed. THIS song, however...SPOONFULL was written by the great...MR. BASSOLOGY...Willie Dixon...

[@aspersive]

R.I.P. Alvin Lee. The golden age of rock and roll just passed a little bit further into history.

[@bjornfuchs9041]

one of the greatest of all time, peace to alvin lee!

Yeah, so am I. Great Great Alvin, seen him twice!!! Love you all my friends. Willy from Amsterdam

Alvin Lee performed bigly at Woodstock. His drummer was great too.

[@tfshel]

Leo Lyons SLAPS that Bass...This was one of the best bands to see live..I saw them about 20 times in and around L.A.

[@mikekoenig6467]

So beautiful just imagining your experiences! 💞💞 Jealous as frig too!

[@youtubemusic374]

Ten Years After they had the Blues flowing through their veins. One of the best groups of the seventies. I herad them in Munich play LIVE exactly five times. They rocked the crowd like nobody else! Unfortunately the brilliant guitarist (Alvin Lee) died quite a while ago already. They continued without him, but in my opinion it wasn`t the same Jörg J.

[@kevinobrien1259]

They was around in the sixties my friend, Woodstock 1969, and way before that in the u.k clubs!

blues in the richest sense. alvin... you had it in your head... made the music, and gave it to us. thanks with love

[@patricktaylor4997]

Alvin Lee was the Mack! He could play circles around almost all of his peers. (save maybe, Jimi Hendrix or Johnny Winter) And the way he was so unassuming about it. This is the shit!

[@СашаСусоев-ж3с]

Pura crema ten year after super

[@sgdeluxedoc]

Man I love his phrasing.. back in the mid 60's only three guitarists ruled when it came to phrasing.. that's Jimi, Alvin & Eric while he was still with John Mayall.. Alvin got tired of the same old phrases by 1973 and Eric completely lost it until he started playing with bonnie and Clyde (sorry Del and Bonnie ;-) Watching this video is almost like sitting in the audience when they were recording "Undead"!

[@stevemabus6178]

sgdeluxedoc only 3 guitarists ruled when it came to phrasing? Lol

[@thefearlessfrog]

oh no : ( sooo sad. just heard it from here. now i have the feeling the world just lost something of high value!! rest in peace dude. thinking of what you and your guitar gave us all these years with your sound.

Cream’s 22 minute live version from 1967. Look it up on KZbin. It wipes the floor with this.

Rory Gallagher too, was jamming in a band called Taste i believe in 68..

[@JumpinJAKEFlash]

Good old fashioned psychedelic blues rock. I’m so glad I recently discovered this fantastic footage! It’s nice to have another reference to show people how good/underrated of a guitarist Alvin Lee was besides his fiery Woodstock performance of “I’m Going Home”. #RIP

[@FF-so3su]

Thanks😊👍❤️

[@satyanarayan72]

Long Live Alvin...69 long years is indeed vintage, tastier than the sweetest wine-Champagne or Chardonnays....Fascinating guitar work- intriguing & unparalleled....My taste for TYA began circa 69 and over time the blues have become more bluesy.....such blues rock rendition with a powerful & mellifluous voice will always remain a mystery

[@friendofbeaver6636]

Ten Years After had better chops than more famous late 60's bands!

[@micadinz]

@polymath7 My thoughts are based on the old live Cream version on KZbin where they jam with no audience - watched it about 75 times. It's one of the best on KZbin. So to assert anything is "better" is a tall, tall order. Let's just say they are both among the finest examples of what authentic rock music is all about - high energy, skilled musicians who are totally inside the sound, volume and burning hot vacuum tubes, transcendent emotions, eccentric style. Yeah life is good.
