Hello dear Friends, after so many may years I still love to listen dearest Alvin!!! He's unforgettable. Like the Stones, I watch so many concerts/clips on my desktop or phone but I am so F afraid 'cause I know there will come a final end in this world! Oh God no no no, but I know that means for all of us! I' m 70 so. I do hope there will be something like Music and Memories in our afterlife!!! Lots of love and music from Willy from beautiful AMSTERDAM😂😂❤

Just a few months after having played the 69' Woodstock Festival in upstate New York, Jimi Hendrix sat down for an interview with Cream Magazine and talked candidly about having played there. Hendrix said, "I felt like I played a good set at Woodstock considering I was playing with all new musicians almost." "I thought Carlos(Santana) & Johnny(Winter) guitars sounded strong during their sets too." "But of the 3 days worth of music that was played at Woodstock, no one outplayed Alvin Lee." "Alvin put on a guitar clinic during Ten Years After's set at Woodstock, and I really have a lot of respect for his ability and how easily he can pick up a guitar and play anything, be it rock, blues, jazz, or whatever." "They don't come any better than Alvin on a guitar." Those are the words of Jimi Hendrix himself taken from that interview with Cream Magazine published in January, 1970.

[@mor4725]

The rest is great to see, but I can't believe Hendrix said "Alvin put on a guitar clinic for the ages during Ten Years After's set at Woodstock" lol, sounds very modern like something a nerdy music critic trying to make their way up in the company would compose for an article. It's a shame there weren't Ted Talks back then 🤓

Amazing. ❤😊

[@johnedwards785]

Alvin Lee stole the show at Woodstock with 'I'm Goin Home.' He woke the entire audience up with that number, akin to the scene in 'Back to the Future' where Michael J. Fox plays the guitar like Hendrix while writhing on the stage; that left the audience speechless! The Woodstock audience had never heard anyone play the guitar like that before! Alvin Lee is definitely one of the most underrated guitar players of all time. He's definitely right up there with Jimmy Page in my book! I envy the lucky few that got to see him play live! RIP Alvin Lee

[@KittyGrizGriz]

Agree! Loved when someone from audience gave them a huge watermelon; after performance Alvin put in on his shoulder and walked offstage. He said “We’re going home, by helicopter” in his cool English accent; handsome talented man, whole band was so epic.

[@billhorstkamp98]

He did. Everybody talks about the Hwy and Jimi Hendrix’s Star-Spangled Banner. But in my opinion, it was Alvin Lee, and also Canned Heat who stole the show.

Looks like a great list of the classic era white blues players (except for Jimi of course). Nice of you to include Kossoff and Gallagher, probably the best British blues players. I would also add Roy Buchanan to the list, master of the slide. Someone mentioned Jeff Beck; I love Jeff Beck's work but to me he's not really a blues player (only some of his work with The Yardbirds and the first two Jeff Beck Group albums), and neither is Ritchie, they're much more than strictly blues players. And SRV - not exactly classic era, and if we're talking 'bout 80s and 90s, you can't leave out the amazing talents of Jeff Healy. But lets' not forget the pioneers: Muddy Waters, BB King, Freddie King, Abert King, Albert Collins, and the amazing Buddy Guy, and a few others I forgot.

Yup! There it is, the inevitable 'underrated' comment. 😂😂. He's good, but nowhere near the top 5. He sure can play blues rock guitar, but 5 million other guitarists, including me, play that same style too. I've been a guitarist for over 40 years and it doesn't matter if you believe me or not, but I wouldn't have any problem at playing everything he did in this video just as well as he did. Tossing in a few fast 16th or 32nd note triplet licks or arpeggios doesn't make a guitarist Hall of Fame material. Innovation does.

Excellent concert, they don't get any better than this concert period. Love the way Alvin Lee commands that big Gibson 335 the entire concert, he's getting a wonderful tone out of it and his classic Marshall amp stacks. The closing of Going Home is a work of blues guitar art, then we get not one but three songs during one encore... now that's the real deal, the entire band has a passion for performing live in concert! Bill Graham was the man, guess I'm fortunate he enjoyed live rock music, based on the rock bands he recruited to play at his venues he would have made one heck of a professional sports recruiter. After this, I'm going over to watch the Allman Brothers at another Bill Grahm venue, the Fillmore East to get a late-night fix of Duane Allman & Dicky Betts playing the lead guitar parts to Whipping Post off each other, that would be unheard of back in the day, now it's not even a stretch!

Ten Years After und Alvin Lee sind für mich eine der besten Bluesbands ever ich bin jetzt 62 Jahre alt LG Gerd

[@robinandthe7hoods507]

Possibly the 4 best musicians ever in one band!

[@vitolipari3406]

A young Jack Bruce played bass and sang lead vocals for Cream. But Leo Lyons is certainly better than anyone else.

Alvin Lee was a guitar wizard, Above them all.❤❤❤❤
