Summary:
Extraordinary blues/rock guitarist Alvin Lee had already begun pursuing his solo career in earnest by the time he returned for the 28th and final U.S. tour of the original Ten Years After. Upon completion of the 1975 tour, TYA would split up and not return until a reunion was staged in 1989.
Although a cult fave, the band burst onto the world music scene after it appeared in the documentary film, Woodstock, one of whose highlights was the performance of "I'm Goin' Home" by Lee and the band. This show, recorded at Bill Graham's Winterland ballroom, opens with a rockin' (but incomplete) version of the band's radio hit, "Rock & Roll Music To The World." They follow it with one their classics, "Love Like A Man." Muddy Water's "Good Morning Little School Girl," is next, and leads to long and tasty slow blues.
A 20-minute version of "I Can't Keep From Crying Sometimes" is followed by a 12- minute but incomplete "I'm Going Home." After a souped-up version of Chuck Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen," Lee and the band close with two of their own hits: "Choo Choo Mama" and "Baby, Won't You Let Me Rock 'n' Roll You."
One of the biggest blues/rock acts on the planet between 1969 and 1974, Ten Years After could attribute their far reaching success to two things: Promoter Bill Graham and their appearance in the landmark music documentary Woodstock. Graham was among the earliest U.S. promoters to book the band, and he made them a staple act at both the Fillmore East and West, and of course, Winterland.
By the time this show was recorded. TYA had become primarily a vehicle for Alvin Lee's blistering guitar work, its songs comprised of equal parts rock, blues, and jazz. In 1972, the band would leave Decca Records (the label that signed them in 1967), and move to Columbia's corporate home. Columbia would take the band in a more radio friendly/pop driven direction (hence, the hit single "I'd Love To Change The World"). Frustrated with the popular music trend, Alvin Lee left the band, which disbanded soon after the second Columbia release in 1975.
The original lineup made one reunion LP and did one more tour in 1988/89 before disbanding again. In 2003, Ric Lee assembled the group again, although Alvin would not participate. He was replaced by guitarist Joe Gooch, and the band is still recording and touring today.

I was a little school girl (13) when this album came out and I blasted this song every afternoon when I got home...much to my parents’ dismay and concern...saw TYA in NOLA in the seventies and knew they were underrated even then. There was just such a wealth of talent in that era! I’m glad I grew up enjoying my incredible youth to such an unbelievably great musical background!

[@nickphillips7319]

Hiya Robin. I've the same memories, and I'm checking them out at the moment. You really should watch anything by Johnny Winter and Rick Derringer at about the same time, and see how he wasn't quite the fastest guitar player he was made out to be. I think it was the edited section of the film Woodstock that promoted that fact. I think I saw him after JW and RD at Lancaster University in 1972, and he really wasn't in the same class. But fond memories. Keep safe. Nick, not quite the good bass slapper. 🤓

To really appreciate Alvin Lee's speed ffirst, listen to Johnny Winter play. Good morning, little school girl, then listen to Alvin Lee play. Good morning, little school girl Johnny. Winter is an exceptionally fast guitar player. But the difference in speed between the two Johnny Winter never ever got out of first gear while Alvin Lee has at least 10 speeds and he was in 10th gear... I was lucky enough in nineteen seventy five I got to see johnny winter and alvin lee together.... But unfortunately, Alvin Lee was not with 10 years after... the name of the band was Alvin Lee and company......peace

When they quit kissing I handed him back a little tiny roach.So he fires up another and they both take a hit and hand it to me. I go to hand it back and they're kissing again.This happened with 3 joints. I don't even remember Slade as they played before TYA I was told. Anyhow I came to with this incredible sight in front of me. As I looked through the smoke I saw chicks setting on shoulders and a sea of hands clapping in time to the music and at the horizon of everything I could see in front of me was Alvin Lee bent over his guitar playing good morning little schoolgirl. It was such a surreal moment that I will cherish in my mind forever. So were you one of those guys that were climbing in the PA cabinets? Although your eardrums were getting ruined I'm sure you remember what happened to those that dared to climb out on that stage. BGP Nazi's would toss those that tresspassed back into the crowd with very bad intentions !! lol Best show I saw at Winterland for $7.50 was Rush The Tubes and Kiss.

@@rodericksloan1255 Thanx dude. 😊

[@davidgregorski79]

💈💈💈. This is definitely the best lead from Alvin Lee, and Bass from Leo Lyons it is just super if you play an instrument- speaking of which, I can’t leave the superior drum work from Rick Lee out of this 3 pack- - 10 years after !

[@dwightlangendorfer6458]

TYA wore me out. I screamed so hard all concert long. Yes Alvin you are my favorite. You are missed. Kick butt group

[@MsMorgasm79]

As much as I enjoy watching Alvin working his magic on that guitar of his, and how much he puts into it, I swear every time I run across a live vid of TYA, I click on it just to watch Leo. He's a whole show on his own!

[@raymondpierotti8414]

A show yes, A musician however?

[@howardmarks8647]

Absolutely!

[@hardtopart3346]

Great dynamic of the show... perfect control over instruments.. Wow

[@frankblosse119]

Oh Alvin Lee was one of the best going home from Woodstock is one of the best live f****** ever having leaves the best he's a rock God

[@ramonmedina7291]

Most wonderful classic rock music, ever played!!

[@debbieedwards711]

Genius rockers! The years goes by & we forget. Thanks for the upload. It made my day. RIP

[@frankfrischmuth6820]

Alvin Lee was the best !!!

[@jamescampbell2521]

Saw this legendary band & guitar virtuoso in 1972 at the Bangor,Maine, Auditorium Amazing show, wish I could remember more of it.

[@kevinsmithlikethatonlybett3631]

Love that Bass 😁

[@stevenolivo6481]

I was born in 73 and my dad would play this on the weekends and car rides!

[@bayareablues2255]

I still remember the very first time I heard this song and was introduced to Ten Years After and Alvin Lee. Amazing!

[@cattycorner8]

BayAreaBlues Isn't that a great memory? I love those. Where you were, who you were with, what drugs you were doing, the whole everything- and of course, how it made you feel. Music keeps me sane. Thank G-d for music!

[@ellywinterquist8086]

WAY TO ROCK That Bass Leo Lyons!!!!! Sorry if misspelled your name, you ROCK!!!!!! Rest In Peace Mr. Alvin Lee, you are missed😢

[@finleyfine1]

Leo Lyons on bass. One of the greatest bass licks. Alvin Lee - most underrated guitarist of all time. Saw TYA many times at Cobo Arena in Detroit in the 1970's

[@blainstutts473]

You were lucky and blessed to witness such musicianship!

[@janbirgerstrand3432]

Okay

[@BlueHopi144]

saw them back in 95 in a Blues festival in Belgium called the " Boogie Blues festival " - one of the most phenomenal live performance i have ever witnessed . We were literally pushed against the wall because they were playing so deep & hard .

[@brianmcgraw212]

I was lucky enough to have seen them at Cobo Hall too. Many great shows in Detroit ñ

[@warrendemartini6533]

Alvin Lee was one of the greats. This was 10th grade for me. Stoned to the bone .. take me back lord I wanna relive my days rock on to all the greats ❤

[@christophermdidonna5661]

Alvin Lee, best guitar face of all time. They just don't make faces like that anymore, but than again they don't play guitar like that anymore either.

[@Keystroker88]

Alvin is definitely in the top 5 EVER! And only due to that everyone has their own tastes.

[@stephenj8576]

Now that's some funny stuff, but you're right. RIP Al, glad I got to see him.

[@maurizioy7266]

Please don't forget Johnny Winter,thank you

[@paulcorreia6742]

Yes, Alvin has the gautar hero face, is there a bee on my nose

[@paulcorreia6742]

Hahaahaaa

[@ericrepking8663]

Great way to start the day. Just sent this link to my grand daughter. Keep this music alive. Top act at Woodstock.

[@vegasdano7569]

TYA 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 , one of the great ones of the 60s & 70s . Bands of those years. The greatest of all time. No one today in today’s times comes close, on one. Long live them all 🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@s.s.4170]

I saw Ten Years After with Grand Funk Railroad in the summer of 1971 in Atlanta. Simply an amazing concert! This song would get a man in trouble nowadays.

[@WhiteManXRP]

THAT IS A TIME TO REMEMBER MAN..HELL YEAH! YOU MUST HAVE SEEN SOME GREAT TIMES THEN...JEALOUS! EPIC

[@michaelnivens6267]

saw Alvin & Ten Years After twice in the 70s in Fort Worth, Texas - greatest guitar player I've ever seen

[@jblcva]

One of the most underrated guitar players of all time.. He was as good as anybody i have ever heard... I am a musician..

[@evreet2000]

Michael Nivens saw them at Tarrant Co. Convention Center as the headliners; Robin Trower opened, then King Crimson, then TYA. We were in the second row, and there were some kids dancing down front, and the FWPD was hassling them. Alvin stopped playing and said: "Stop that, you pigs!". Awesome, awesome show!

[@keiththompson7259]

Michael Nivens if you get the chance see Zakk Wylde

[@maurizioy7266]

Hy Evreet, I saw KC in Turin,Italy,many years ago but they weren't the Fripp / Sinfield group I loved...TYA are a fantastic group, unforgetteble for un - over 60 - that lived Woods and Wight... They will be forever in our minds and I will be grateful FOREVER for what they gave me in my youthness. Thenks for reading,and my best greetings from northern Italy ! P.S. I reasd now about Robin Trower,procol harum... fantastic !

[@peterjanssens8351]

Amazing blues rock!!!! Ten Years After

[@AmpasaurusWrecks]

Great band, I especially like their early blues material.

[@tobyihli9470]

That’s the best, purest rock and roll ever! That rock and roll is deeply rooted in the old blues artists like Muddy Waters, Leadbelly, Buddy Guy, BB King, etc… You can see the unmistakable transition from that to this. WOW! Oh wow!

[@glenkepic3208]

Great ! How the hell did i miss this gig ? Went to Winterland about a dozen times. Also bought SSSHHH before this. 13 in '70. Bluest Blues is next.
