Alvin Lee on guitar and vocal. What a beast. You gotsta watch all of Woodstock. This is woodstock. This has been edited there is about 10 more minutes of the best part missing.
@@richeaton5752 Yeah..me too..the entire performance does get a little tiresome in the middle, though..unlike Soul Sacrifice, which is my favorite of the bunch..Sha Na Na is pretty damned good..and the Fish cheer...
I'm REEEALLY hoping they revisit this one and give it a PROPER reaction to the FULL performance... This was like getting a big fat doobie and no way to light that sucker up!
This is a VERY short, highly edited version of the iconic Woodstock performance. You really should watch the complete performance, it's way better that even this. They bring the song WAAAAY down in the middle for a long time and build up amazing tension.
One of the greatest performances not only at Woodstock, but ever - this is pure fire from top to bottom. Making me rock out at my desk once again, can't beat that. Peace and love from Canada boys, and thanks!
Who keeps the beat at that VERY up tempo? Leo Lyons on bass -- doesn't miss a lick. ALRIGHT! Y'all heard him!!! Definitely take the offer of other posters here and find the longer version; will show the strengths of this band in a more concentrated manner.
When my kids were young and it was a rainy weekend day at the cottage, I'd put this song on (slightly longer live version) and tell them they had to dance, in time with the drummer, for the whole song. Naps came shortly afterwards lolol.
Hilarious! 😂 One of the things I used to do to tire my kids out was to let them "paint" the bricks on our house. A bucket of water and an old paint brush each, and when they got to the end of the wall the water had dried, so I'd tell them it needed another "coat". Worked like a charm. 😎😁
LOL!!! Who knew you were going to do this one when I commented on it on the Bliest Blues post. Nice move!!! Unfortunately this is an edited version of the Woodstock performance. The full length version was `11:31 in length
It is always a pleasure to see Ten Years After being reacted to, this is perhaps their most famous performance. They have a rich catalog from the late 60s/early 70s that is well worth exploring, they are one of my top Ten English Rock Bands of all time. Try their great single, I'd Love to Change the World, it was a huge hit. One of my favorite deep cuts and jams from them is Standing at the Station, that is an out of control train heading right for you! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
THIS was my introduction to Mr. Alvin Lee & 10 Years After! Killer!! In our group of friends, each guy had 'their part' in air band. (John) Kuebler was doing Alvin Lee-even 'the faces' were included. Lost Kueb 2yrs ago to Covid. Slowly, our friends group have passed away. THIS breathes Life & Memories into my weary soul. It connects me to my vitality, to old friends who are gone, to the BEST damn times I ever experienced. Music is my BEST FRIEND! Amen!
Aahhh Woodstock! Ten Years After performance is a classic in like forever. The full song is even better, the way Alvin brings everything down to a whisper and then explodes at the end. Enjoyed this a lot. ✌️
Vocalist and Guitarist Alvin Lee is a Blues Man through and through. Unfortunately, this is a very edited version of this performance. I have the movie "Woodstock" on Blu-Ray, and there are several minutes of jamming that have been omitted, but you get the idea. There are also some really cool three-way views on screen that look great and also take you right into the middle of Alvin and his band. Try and find the REAL footage, it is totally worth the trouble. You got a taste, but not the whole thing.
I've been listening to them since their first album. Over the past 10 years or so a big deal was made about "shredding" the guitar. Well, folks, Alvin was the first to do it. But, this version was edited a bit too much and took out some of his solo. Knowing the original I can hear at least four places they cut it. RIP Alvin.
The first time I saw this performance, I came home late at night, high as a kite, and saw this on some cable channel. I could not take my eyes off of Alvin Lee! What a freakin phenomenal guitarist! Still gives me goose bumps…He was probably ripped out of his mind on Owsley’s acid. Most of the performers were.
This is one of my favorite bands of all time. I was first introduced to them in high school with their album A Space in Time, which includes their mega-hit I'd Love To Change The World. But I fell in love with every song on that album and so I started working my way backwards through Cricklewood Green all the way back to their first album. And then I worked my way forward to their very last album in 1974, Positive Vibrations. I can honestly say I like every Ten Years After song on every album. And they evolved a whole bunch over the years from the mid-1960s through 1974. Tons of really great stuff. I bet you would like a lot of it. I wouldn't mind suggesting to you that after you do the obligatory I'd Love to Change the World, assuming you are unfamiliar with it right now, there are another couple off that A Space in Time album that are just fantastic and give you a good idea about what this band is capable of. And it's not all just balls-to-the-wall rocking, there's a lot of it with really fascinating lyrics and they really build certain moods and ambience, and it's just so fun. Once There Was a Time starts off side B of the album and that's a really good entry point as well. Like many of theirs, it starts really slow and just builds into a frenzy. All four of those guys were monsters at what they were able to do and they were just so tight. In the first couple albums you can not only hear the blues influence but really kind of a jazz influence as well. And in fact one of my favorite songs is their cover of a classic Woody Herman song Woodchoppers Ball, and on that one I think the bass player is actually playing an acoustic stand-up bass and it has some great bass solos in it. The keys and drums are mind-blowing as well in this band.
@@dougieyou I had all of their albums on vinyl and yes, cricklewood green is an incredible point in their transition. It is so creative. And there was something about that album, it felt heavier than a normal album, so I think the material that the album cover was made out of must have been heavier stock or something. It also had a slight texture to it rather than being perfectly smooth.
@@richeaton5752 I had the Ten Years After albums on vinyl, but yeah I did have several other things on 8-track cassettes, including the first two Boston albums, a Grand Funk Railroad album, the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever, I forget what all else, laugh. There was even a way on our cheap Kmart stereo system to record things from a record album onto a blank 8-track take cartridge, so I made several of my own compilation tapes that way early on. But yeah, I wore that A Space in Time album out and ended up having to go get another copy, laugh. That is just such a stellar album. In fact, I learned the first song on side B if I remember correctly, Once There Was A Time, and have performed it in a band many times and it always gets really good audience response. It's funny as hell but it's also just a great jam.
3 chord song never played better - - ! - - ! Leave it to Alvin Lee and Ten Years After to make you shake your head and stomp your feet - BRAVO - and thank you AIRPLAY BEATS for airing this ! ALVIN LEE is HOME - HE is up there in HEAVEN ! REST IN PEACE ALVIN LEE !
My favorite bass player, Leo Lyons and one of my top 5 guitarist. Alvin Lee. TYA is a helluva band, and very underrated. BTW the rest of the band is pretty darn good too!! I read their name comes from the fact that the band was created10 years after Elvis. There is that Elvis influence. Their live cover of Sonny Boy Williamson's "Help Me" at The Marquee is as good as this and so is the live version of "I Can't Keep from Crying". Then from Alvin's solo material is "Slow Blues in C".
My mother Loved this tune..whenever I played it she'd come hang around and talk about how much she liked Alvin's inspired mumbling... Ps..you men have the best musical appreciation, broadcast and sound system of Any other reactors, the music just sounds better...
@@AirplayBeats it's true..you have noticeably the best sound..I was a radio DJ for 10 years and I suspect that you guys are running a nice board, do VU meters still have needles? They would do a magical dance when I played Hendrix doing Voodoo Chile back in the 90s...
Hey guys just wanted to let you know another very good British blues band is Savoy Brown. "All I Can Do is Cry", "Hellbound Train" and "Lost and Lonely Child" are good starters. The founder and lead guitarist Kim Simmonds passed away in December 2022. The band had a lot of turnover, but I read that Kim was a sort of mentor and some of the former band members even formed their own band like Foghat, which was comprised of 3 former Savoy Brown members. Savoy Brown released 45 albums since 1967 and I have heard them all.
That was my time. 16 yo - I had been a fan of Ten Years After already before, but after that Woodstock thing..... Jesus.... I've got immediately goose bumps. And I'm already 70 years old.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your channel. I am a young dude who has always loved old blues and rock. So to see you guys reacting to some of my favorite songs and videos is great.
To get the full benefits of this you have to watch the full version. At the intro AL adds “by helicopter” because the roads were clogged with traffic and closed. Performers had to come and go by copter.
Another interesting song by them is "Standing At The Station" studio version. (not as fast, but some real great organ in there and a great guitar solo). Almost prog rock. That's why I love it so.
That is one of my favorites by them, that band is a train, barreling down hill and barely staying on the tracks! Great song and album, also love the tune Religion, they just speak the truth.
These guys along with Santana, Jimi, and Sly & the Family Stone imho were the top acts of Woodstock. Alvin was always considered as one of the fastest guitar slingers around and this tune was evidence of that. Great choice reaction.
@@AirplayBeats Soul sacrifice lasts eleven and a half minutes as well. You may have to go with the one released by Santana himself with no video, to get the full length version. The shortened version cuts out most of Michael Shrieve's drum solo, but you get to see the musicians playing. Your choice, but I recommend the full length version.
@@WMalven There's a 9:50 video version, I'm not sure what's missing from it. But watching this band in action is half the fun. This might serve as a compromise between the full 11:40 and the 6:17 versions.
Hola Maestros ! From Ned in Spain. I was 7 years old when this came out and I remember that it blew everyone away. As others have said this has been cut way way down from the original, they did this to a lot of Woodstock performances and it is a crime. You'll be even more impressed when you see a proper version. It does lag a bit in the middle but it kills in every other way. They had a lot of great songs, I'd Love To Change the World, Good Morning Little Schoolgirl, Love Like A Man, One of These Days...Classic UK Blues Rock
Love your appreciation for Gregg and the Allman Bros Band...would love your reaction to a song no one reacts to, Jelly Jelly. His voice, organ playing, and piano are top notch....Thanks guys
I worked in housekeeping at a motel in Salt lake in the 7O's..I went into a room to clean it and the entire band was in the room These gorgeous long hair rockers. Watching me clean..incredibly nervous...they ended up giving me tickets to the concert in town.
Guys if you ever decide to check out more Ten Years After. I highly recommend I’d Love to Change the World. Off the top of my head recorded 1970 or so. Give a good listen to the lyrics. 54 years later. Nothing has changed, except for how we now refer to the same social issues that we live with today. As always great job guys ❤
Correct. And while it can feel a little weary to listen to all 11 minutes, when you stick through all 11 minutes you truly get awestruck at the stamina and the band's timing and energy pulling through the whole way. It feels like it should be a bedroom performance timer. Or maybe just some calisthenics.
Believe it or not this was a clipped/edited version of the song, they left out some of the medley of other songs he brought in and some of the creative things he did on guitar in the leadup to the big finale. But still a good representation of his shredding skills.
This version from the "Woodstock" film is an edited version of the album release version. There was some more vocal riffing and guitar parts, from what I remember, than on this version but it's still freaking awesome! OMG that guy was amazing! You can see where Ted Nugent got some of his inspiration (as a musician, not as the nut-job he is today).
Yeah I'm still really disappointed what Nugent became. Amboy Dukes and his early self dubbed material was Alvin Lee inspired you're right about that. Gotta give the nod to Alvin Lee though. Nugent just slowed it down a click is all. But yeah. An unpleasant cancel. Some guys cancelled got raw deal like Trapeze drummer but Nugent deserves his red flag stamp out.
I saw Alvin open for ZZ Top and Journey once. I should have went home after his performance. Funny you mentioned Elvis. The lead guitarist Alvin Lee once said in an interview that he learned everything he needed to know about playing guitar from Elvis's guitarist Scotty Moore.
Early 1970.s Alvin Lee was voted the world's fastest guitar..... You want to check out the album Space in Time....my favorite song is Once there was a Time.... Some of the purest rock and roll guitar you'll ever hear.
I was only 6 during Woodstock but I grew up on the soundtrack. The movie is a must see for all who like music. Half a million people 3 Days and the only death was a guy fell asleep under a tractor and when the farmer started it in the morning…some locals burned records which was way worse than anything any Hippie did. ✌️❤️🎸
Not quite SRV, but it'll do. ;) If you are going to do Woodstock stuff, I recommend Sly and the Family Stone's performance. They absolutely burn the fker down.
This one the highlights of the first Woodstock album and film (there were many great performances) even though the musicians were being moved back in time, there aren't stories of anyone losing their s**t over the schedule. Richie Havens(who officially opened the concert) for example had about twenty minutes of material prepared but was told not to leave the stage because no one was ready and started jamming "freedom" one of most notable chants to just burn up time. The promoters lost their a**es on the concert as so many showed up, pushed the fencing over and walked in. Four hundred thousand plus people are gonna do what they want to do. The organizers had originally anticipated approximately 50,000 festival-goers would turn up, 186,00 advance tickets were sold, probably making the promoters see dollars signs, they were not prepared for the final amount.
"Working on the road" is a good one... "I'd love to change the world " is another one. Fastest fingers in the business! I saw them in the early 1970's with Quicksilver Messenger Service. It's like if you put a 45rpm record on 78rpm. 😆😆😁😎
These British rockers were devoted students of American Blues and all Black roots music. Can you tell? 😊 You can also hear Elvis , Jerry Lee Lewis and Eddy Cochran ( Summertime Blues). The major part of the solo got taken out here.

Very happy to see them review it, but disappointed immediately when I saw the runtime total.

& no watermelon for Alvin...🤪
Yeah all the greatest guitar work has been edited out
Alvin Lee...one of the most underrated guitarist of all time. Top ten ever...
This was performed 54 years ago and never gets old!
Now I feel old ! I saw Alvin do this same song ,two weeks after they made this recording . Changed my life ,still one of my favs .
This is a VERY short, highly edited version of the iconic Woodstock performance. You really should watch the complete performance, it's way better that even this. They bring the song WAAAAY down in the middle for a long time and build up amazing tension.

I saw Ten Years After in Vancouver a couple of times in the late '60s - early '70s...still got the ticket stubs! 🎟
I remember first time seeing and hearing this, changed music for me
Nah Santana doing Soul Sacrifice at Woodstock way better
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN that’s a good jam as well
@ DENVEROUTDOORMAN That's your opinion. As far as guitar playing goes, Santana wasn't in the same league as Lee.
Great choice! Alvin Lee kick ass! Another underrated band with some really good blues albums!
Who keeps the beat at that VERY up tempo? Leo Lyons on bass -- doesn't miss a lick. ALRIGHT! Y'all heard him!!! Definitely take the offer of other posters here and find the longer version; will show the strengths of this band in a more concentrated manner.
RIP Alvin.... Nobody rocked harder than Alvin Lee a true Rock & Roll giant
AWESOME. I saw them do this tune at the 30th anniversary. Just as great. You'll want to see. "I'd Love To Change The World"
When my kids were young and it was a rainy weekend day at the cottage, I'd put this song on (slightly longer live version) and tell them they had to dance, in time with the drummer, for the whole song. Naps came shortly afterwards lolol.
😂😂😂
Hilarious! 😂 One of the things I used to do to tire my kids out was to let them "paint" the bricks on our house. A bucket of water and an old paint brush each, and when they got to the end of the wall the water had dried, so I'd tell them it needed another "coat". Worked like a charm. 😎😁
I'm 72 & need a nap just from listening & watching. I was an 18 year old Sailor when this went down.
A standout performance!!!!! And at Woodstock, no less!!!! ☮️❤️
LOL!!! Who knew you were going to do this one when I commented on it on the Bliest Blues post. Nice move!!!

In the 60's a lot of British bands were influenced by American Blues and they took the Blues to a whole different level. Classic performance!

Very good underrated band
And also Chicken Shack and early Fleetwood Mac! Some personnel moved between these bands along with Savoy Brown over the years.
Love ya Alvin Lee! Glad to see you still getting the respect you deserve. RIP.
Saw them in 71, when they started to playin' Goin' Home a riot broke out. Jim
That’s was great ! 😂 “you gotta smoke a cigarette after that one”!
😂
Can you imagine? 300,000 people were there to witness this. Livin and lovin in peace.
I love that you guys appreciate so many different artists.
I was lucky enough to see Ten Years After in the 70's as a teenager.
Yesss this music was part of my teenage music as well - how cool is that!! Cheers from CH🇨🇭🎸
One of the great performances at the 1969 Woodstock Festival. This is a cut-up version of the original performance. Original is much longer.
I'm spyin' that copy of "Degüello" back there calling out your names. Can't wait for that reaction!
Speaking of Elvis, in the full-length version, when they break it down in the middle, he does a little Blue suede shoes
You guys wanna hear the blues. Alvin Lee in The Bluest Blues.

"Ten Years Gone"
by Led Zeppelin.
Peace Out 😊✌️
To get the full benefits of this you have to watch the full version. At the intro AL adds “by helicopter” because the roads were clogged with traffic and closed. Performers had to come and go by copter.
Alvin Lee was an incredible guitar player. I always found it strange that he did not reach Eric Clapton type status, especially in the U.S.
Great performance at Woodstock that and Jimmy........Santana....really really great performances!!!
Alvin Lee is otherworldly great on the guitar, but watching this video, the bass guitar player, his fingers are a blur keeping up ......awesome

They had a lot of great songs, I'd Love To Change the World, Good Morning Little Schoolgirl, Love Like A Man, One of These Days...Classic UK Blues Rock
this is from Woodstock 1969
I’d Love to Change the World by Ten Years After is their big song and a great one
Alvin Lee named his band Ten years After because they started 10 years after Elvis who was Alvin’s idol. Wow!
Love your appreciation for Gregg and the Allman Bros Band...would love your reaction to a song no one reacts to, Jelly Jelly. His voice, organ playing, and piano are top notch....Thanks guys
I worked in housekeeping at a motel in Salt lake in the 7O's..I went into a room to clean it and the entire band was in the room
These gorgeous long hair rockers.
Watching me clean..incredibly nervous...they ended up giving me tickets to the concert in town.
Awesome story!!
This is the edited version for length. Great performance.
One fantastic Blues band and may Alvin RIP
Both this performance and Santana's Soul Sacrifice were both from the Woodstock Festival!!!!!! Talk about great stuff!!!!
Alvin Lee, Rory Gallagher and Gary Moore, three guitar players who put everything into a performance.
Hidden Gems and massive talent everywhere... The Patreons are choosing well...
A Classic Treat For Your Ears & Eyes,, Herbie Hancock "Rockit" (Official Music Video A MUST!)
Crazy how dry his signal is and still slayin it while singing wow dudes talented
Guys if you ever decide to check out more Ten Years After. I highly recommend I’d Love to Change the World. Off the top of my head recorded 1970 or so. Give a good listen to the lyrics. 54 years later. Nothing has changed, except for how we now refer to the same social issues that we live with today. As always great job guys ❤
This is cut in half. The original video of this song from "Woodstock" was close to 11 minutes long.
Correct. And while it can feel a little weary to listen to all 11 minutes, when you stick through all 11 minutes you truly get awestruck at the stamina and the band's timing and energy pulling through the whole way. It feels like it should be a bedroom performance timer. Or maybe just some calisthenics.
The fastest guitar in the West! R.I.P. Alvin, and thanks!✌
Believe it or not this was a clipped/edited version of the song, they left out some of the medley of other songs he brought in and some of the creative things he did on guitar in the leadup to the big finale. But still a good representation of his shredding skills.
First time I've heard this song. Wow.
This version from the "Woodstock" film is an edited version of the album release version. There was some more vocal riffing and guitar parts, from what I remember, than on this version but it's still freaking awesome! OMG that guy was amazing! You can see where Ted Nugent got some of his inspiration (as a musician, not as the nut-job he is today).
Yeah I'm still really disappointed what Nugent became. Amboy Dukes and his early self dubbed material was Alvin Lee inspired you're right about that. Gotta give the nod to Alvin Lee though. Nugent just slowed it down a click is all. But yeah. An unpleasant cancel. Some guys cancelled got raw deal like Trapeze drummer but Nugent deserves his red flag stamp out.
I saw Alvin open for ZZ Top and Journey once. I should have went home after his performance. Funny you mentioned Elvis. The lead guitarist Alvin Lee once said in an interview that he learned everything he needed to know about playing guitar from Elvis's guitarist Scotty Moore.
I saw these guys in the early 70's & again in the late 90's & they were still rockin hard. Alvin Lee is one of the greatest to ever strap it on.
It’s Blues Rock fellas, the best kind of music.🥸🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
"Balls to the Wall" Rock& Roll🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥‼
Early 1970.s Alvin Lee was voted the world's fastest guitar..... You want to check out the album Space in Time....my favorite song is Once there was a Time.... Some of the purest rock and roll guitar you'll ever hear.
Ten Years After !!! GOing home went home and landed like a fighter jet! Woodstock best performance.
Oh yeah this a bad mammajammma
I was only 6 during Woodstock but I grew up on the soundtrack. The movie is a must see for all who like music. Half a million people 3 Days and the only death was a guy fell asleep under a tractor and when the farmer started it in the morning…some locals burned records which was way worse than anything any Hippie did. ✌️❤️🎸
Not quite SRV, but it'll do. ;)
If you are going to do Woodstock stuff, I recommend Sly and the Family Stone's performance. They absolutely burn the fker down.
This one the highlights of the first Woodstock album and film (there were many great performances) even though the musicians were being moved back in time, there aren't stories of anyone losing their s**t over the schedule. Richie Havens(who officially opened the concert) for example had about twenty minutes of material prepared but was told not to leave the stage because no one was ready and started jamming "freedom" one of most notable chants to just burn up time. The promoters lost their a**es on the concert as so many showed up, pushed the fencing over and walked in. Four hundred thousand plus people are gonna do what they want to do. The organizers had originally anticipated approximately 50,000 festival-goers would turn up, 186,00 advance tickets were sold, probably making the promoters see dollars signs, they were not prepared for the final amount.
"Working on the road" is a good one... "I'd love to change the world " is another one. Fastest fingers in the business! I saw them in the early 1970's with Quicksilver Messenger Service. It's like if you put a 45rpm record on 78rpm. 😆😆😁😎
He TORE UP that 🎸 ‼️✅👍⚡
I saw Ten Years After in Edinburgh and they were fantastic. They could never quite capture that energy in their studio albums.
My first concert was T.Y.A. and Poco--Oct.9th 1972 Cobo Arena Detroit Mi
Goin' full-on off for a Woodstock audience -
Maybe the best performance at Woodstock
A Deep Well ...this band .
Steve Perry is called " The voice"..Alvin was called " Captain Speed Fingers "....................I wonder why ?.... LOL
Jewel of rock
Alvin Lee was "Crazy Good" on that lead guitar. He was known as the fastest guitar player around. He played all those notes in perfect time. LOL
That riff has Chuck Berry written all over it!
These British rockers were devoted students of American Blues and all Black roots music. Can you tell? 😊
You can also hear Elvis , Jerry Lee Lewis and Eddy Cochran ( Summertime Blues).
The major part of the solo got taken out here.
Definitely can tell
Now that is rippin out at its finest.
