then drummer is Ted McKenna

Jimmy Page once said that Alvin Lee was the only guitarist he would pay to see.

Carl Perkins did Blue Suede Shoes originally.

Might be right. This BAND was/is just too much MUSIC.

Alvin Lee really dug Elvis. Lee's father was a Big Band fan.

I'd say it's a power ballad.

Tuomas Stans unite!

After watching more than a hundred reactions to this piece, this one makes my top 2. Your appreciation of Tuomas's role as keyboard player is dear to me. He is easily the least conspicuous member on stage. But it is his vision, composition, and poetry that make Nightwish more than a group of amazing performers. At it really gets me that most of the recognition he usually gets is for the pipe dressing on his 3 keyboards. More than that, thank you for a truly engrossing reaction and experience.

I’ve binged all your Nightwish reactions over the past few days - I think this is your last, so just wanted to say thank you for all your insights that you shared. This particular song is very powerful and I’m glad it had such a positive, powerful impact on you. I hope you’re doing well now, thank you for sharing your story with us.

No performance came close.

Two of the very powerful early influences on Alvin Lee came from Django Reinhardt and Big Bill Broonzy, who Alvin Lee had the opportunity to meet when his father got Big Bill Broonzy to come meet a then young Alvin Lee. Alvin Lee's father was big into old blues, the real old Delta blues, not the 'city blues' and old prison chain gang work songs. His father played them all the time. Alvin Lee grew up listening to them.

This was the Pinnacle of Dickinson's vocals. Sends shivers down my back

Nossi & Bruno was my Friends for over 35 Jears ! Sorry , I can only speak German The Vocalist is The Drummer my Friend Nossi. ❤🤘

Mike...outstanding review of a performance for the ages. Thank you brother.

I don’t know, but I think the “helicopter” reference was because they had to get to the venue by helicopter because the roads were all closed. 👍 Oops! Someone else said the same thing 😃👍

Fun fact - the leather look was KK's idea.

"If Iron Butterfly and Metallica had a lovechild." I totally see/hear it!!

Carl perkins

ari from pentatonix OVER SANG HIS OWN VOICE. COOL AS SHIT

"Holy crap!" is right. This was the 60's and no one played the guitar like this. Hendrix was great but played a different style. This guy was playing stuff that would later make Stevie Ray say..."Damn!"

Loved it! 👏

That scream was awesome!

Great in-depth, knowledgeable analysis. I think this is one of the greatest live performances ever. You comment about the endurance required - this is the closing piece after a two-hour show. Unbelievable!

Great analysis. I agree with you about Ten Years After. I always thought that Jimi Hendrix and Alvin Lee were the best guitarists that ever heard.

Major Tool vibes in parts of this song. Love these guys

Rory in Kaiserslautern, W. Germany in 1975. Best show I have ever seen.

1965-1975 a revolution in music. It will be studied by future generations. We appreciate Woodstock as music fans not historians. Go 55 years before 1969, its 1914. Music fans don't listen to that music, historians do. See? A revolution occurred.

U missed Jerry Lee on piano? The best besides Jerry. Find it😮

Hey dude listen to a live version of help me by tya

Led zep after john bonham died did think about asking ric lee to be there drummer

If sold now alvins guitat would be worth millions, ps i think his wife has it in the bank

I listened to Ego Death with machine elves and it changed my understanding of reality.

What a great review, So well done and informative. One of the best I have seen on this song.

Carl Perkins wrote "Blue Suede Shoes" released in 1956.

Alvin Lee said "I'm going home by Helicopter" Helicopter is how they arrived and left Woodstock !!!

Hey bro you should check out the Cincinnati vampires they are doing a song by rainbow an the song is stargazer an the singer is melody creastea.

Not for nothin,' but that bassist there deserves a purple heart just for keeping up with Alvin.

I saw them live, the drummer played most of the time with Maracas instead of sticks! 😉

Interrumpes demasiado la canción.

If you want to react to Rory on slide, please do Cradle Rock, Irish Tour ‘74. There is a had version out there now. Man…….. you’ll be blown away.

Carl Perkins

G'day Mike. Check out them doing Holy Diver!

Jerry Lee L e wis, I agree with you 9n your assessment of Led Zeppelin and I did v see them at the old Fillmre 3ast!

It was widely known that Jimmy Page stole a whole lot Taliesin from Alvin, I n fact Led Zeppelin as a band. Went to aa TYA concert during which Jimmy Paget's jaw dropped during the entire performance. It so passed off John Bonham thr b great threw his drink at Alvin. TYA was doing in song medley earl8e4, CHECK out their live version ofbI can't keep from crying,

Probably Jimmy Page stole FROM him..... he was doing that shit just as Zepp was born ( just listen to their Undead ¨album from 1968)..... BTW Carl Perkins was white ..... UHHHH

Gallagher is pronounced "Galla her" 😊

Jimi Hendrix said of Rory, "He the best guitarist that almost nobody outside the UK and Ireland has ever heard of. Pretty High praise from the Best himself.

You talk way too much. STFU and just listen to the song.

My first rock concert was Rory and Billy Gibbons in '73. Blues Rock slide guitar nut ever since... Got Slide? Sonny Landreth & Derek Trucks - Congo Square th-cam.com/video/_HW0z86SVkc/w-d-xo.html "Watching Sonny play, is like getting an algebra lesson", Vince Gill
