In the 70s Alvin Lee and Rory Gallagher were considered the fastest guitar players. Alvin Lee is also a Giant playing blues . I must add that Ten Years After bass player Leo Lyons was also one of the best in that time.
That's the thing, they talk about Alvin Lee as one of the fastest guitarists. He doesn't get enough credit for playing the blues. He was right up there.
Absolutely! The studio version of "I'd Love to Change the World" is such a great song, it's a must listen, but a completely different sound than this one, however Alvin Lee makes the guitar sound so amazing 👍
I like "I Love to Change the World" too but there's a lot written that it wasn't one of Alvin's favorites. I like "I Woke Up This Morning" from Ssssh album and the solo from Good Morning Little School Girl is epic too.
Alvin was an incredible guitarist. He was well known for his speed. Considered the fastest guitarist at the time. Its amazing how clear his speed was too as you can hear almost every note he hits. For us budding guitarists he was legendary. We're fortunate that he left behing some great music. My favorite album is Ten Years After, Cricklewood Green.
I saw this in the woodstock film at a cinema in england 1969 went with a few mates we were blown away by this performance which still holds up today wow what a player Alvin Lee was
Yes, it’s a shame that the cut down versions are out there. They did the same thing with Soul Sacrifice by Santana. They cut out most of the epic drum solo done my Mike Shrieve.
In Apr 3 - 4, 1970, Ten Years After played a small venue, Capital Theater, in Port Chester NY. I was 16, sat 4th row center, and still have the drummer's drum stick. One of my favorites growing up. Alvin Lee vs Johnny Winter was the debate as to speed. Fortunately, I got to see them both live at the same venue. Thanks for bringing back a memory.
In was there over the summer, saw Joe Bonamassa there. I was 9 in 1970; I agree that Alvin Lee vs Johnny Winter for speed and accuracy. RIP to them both. Johnny is down the road from me in Easton, CT in Union Cemetery.
Alvin Lee was the GOAT before there were Goats. Always underrated but he created his own path for decades. As others said, this is a sadly shortened version. He had such fast hands and a real feel for the blues use in rock. Very tight band.
My favorite from all of Woodstock. They just rocked! They took hold of that opportunity and ran with it. Thanks for reacting to Ten Years after and this performance.
Rock and Roll came into being in the summer of 1954. This group formed in 1964. Hence, their name. Alvin Lee: the fastest fingers in the business. RIP.
Alvin Lee named the band Ten Years After because they started ten years after Elvis started in 1954, not ten years after Rock 'n' Roll started, which, Elvis would be the first to say, was in existence before he began.
RIP Alvin Lee, I saw Woodstock when I was 12 and this song changed my life. I’m 68 now and I still love this song. I got to see Alvin Lee and 10 years after in San Diego around 1977, I’m really not sure but believe me it was a great night. He played all my favorite songs that night.
I feel sorry for people who haven't heard of ten years after im in my 60 s and been listening to them since I was in my early teens and still listening to them one of my all time favourite bands
In the 1970s from the age of 14-20, I must have listened to the 3 album Woodstock soundtrack album at least a hundred times, if not more. One of the favorite album(s) of my youth.
It was not cold there in the field and 10years alfer was a great band but it was in August 15 1969 I was 15and half years old great times back then great to be alive.
I saw the Alvin Lee band (front man for Ten Years after) in my home town of Wolverhampton UK around 76 ish.. He was announced as special guest guitarist who played at Woodstock.. I was racking my brains trying to think who it might be.. I would never have guessed it was Alvin. It was a great night he played superbly
While this is generally their introduction to the larger world, they were already a really seasoned live band by then, and yeah they've always had improv in a lot of their stuff from the very beginning. They also had quite a bit of a jazz influence in their very early days. Incredible band with an incredible catalog. I think the next most obvious thing would be to do their massive hit from the early seventies, I'd Love to Change the World, studio track. It is truly iconic.
I saw them in the days of "general admission" and managed to get right up front, center stage. It was 1974, the Cow Palace in San Francisco with Rare Earth, King Crimson and Tower of Power. This song took about 20 minutes. The precision of his playing and the energy of the band made this one of the most memorable shows I've ever seen. Sadly, they broke up that year. I saw Alvin Lee a year later in Orlando, with his new band, Ten Years Later, with the opening act, Average White Band, a group from Scotland who played exclusively Motown Soul. Thanks for bring back those memories.
Carlos Santana also played Woodstock. They were supposed to play later in the evening so they dropped some LSD in the morning and were going to check out the show. They got informed that there was a change and they needed to get ready. A lot of the band including Santana were tripping while performing and it's an incredible show.
Very underrated band. Alvin Lee's solo work is great as well. Slow Blues in C and The Bluest Blues are 2 of my favorites by Alvin. Leo Lyons kicks butt on bass. The live versions of I Can't Keep from Crying and Help Me are Great songs by TYA as well. I love these guys. Savoy Brown is another British blues band that is very underrated.
Why Woodstock cannot be reproduced.. so many diverse, innovative acts . Something for everyone, blues, rock, jazz, bebop , folk, funk. And all were awesome live. Truly a once in a century experience
His playing was so clean and fast. It was a long time ago and I can’t remember the specific song, but I decided to play it at 16rpm to try to hear the individual notes. It was still fast and clear, every note cleanly picked. Truly astonishing.
Alvin Lee. You cannot find a performance like this anywhere today. 55years ago my 14 year old brother went to Woodstock. We had musicians of incredible creativity and skills back then. You haven't even heard most of it yet.
I was 14 in '69 and THIS was just pure, raw energy and could only be heard on late night FM stations. Mind blowing to say the least! You mentioned Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix. Could you please do Frank Marino's version of Purple Haze (Live). He absolutely kills it. Such an underrated guitarist!
The late great Alvin Lee!!!!!!!! Ten Years after were under rated in the States. My dad was a bass player so I was introduced to so much more than my peers thankfully!
These guys were really great and didn't get the amount of exposure as some other groups during that period although they were well-known and well recognized in general, I think they were not seen commercially successful like some of the other groups. I myself was lucky enough to see them in concert back in 1971. And if you wanna break the group down. Alvin Lee is a guitar player that was admired and recognized by all the other great guitar. Players and specifically Jimi Hendrix really had some great things to say about him.
He was my favorite guitarist back then and he influenced me a bit when I was first trying to play rock. Gibson for a while sold a Custom Shop signature model of his guitar.
Saw TYA at the Bath Festival back in the dark ages - it was just like this! They had Marshall stacks right across the back of the stage, side to side, and loud!
Alvin Lee was considered, in his time, the fastest guitarist alive. He was just unbelievable. If you get the chance you need to see the full version of this song.
I had the PLEASURE of seeing Ten Years After and Deep Purple in concert back in 1973 in Frankfurt Germany while I was in the Army. It was an awesome concert!
Alvin Lee is one of the best and fastest pickers in rock and roll. He was a neighbor and good buddy of George Harrison so they would hang out and jam together. I'd Love to Change the World is a great time and just as relevant today as when they made it. If you want more quick picking the song Choo Choo Mama is excellent..🙌🙌
now 50 plus yrs. and counting! , like watching you younger kid reaction to what we took for granted , ahhh we knew it was great music but it was what we expected , nothing less than kick assss.
Alvin Lee was phenomenal- Hendrix was great - Alvin could hang with anyone - Alvin Lee said the electric was messing up and he went out in the crowd to get something to drink and told people he was a performer to go on soon he said they didn't believe him but gave him a drink - Alvin said they went nuts when they realized it was Him on stage playing - Great Guitarist
I was there at Woodstock and I can tell you that Ten Years After was the best performance of the festival. I also saw them at Filmore East. Alvin Lee is a legend. Much of his guitar playing was based on Woody Herman Big Band. Listen to his version of Woodchuckers Ball.
Alvin Lee was a guitar maistro, we got the double album in Mid 1970 and it was mind blowing, then 'Woodstock' appeared in the movie theaters later that year it altered our reality for ever.
@@paulvinwi I know all about Stevie, but Alvin Lee was called fastest fingers in the west in the early seventies Stevie came a little later late seventies early eighties Stevie is definitely one of the greatest blues guitarist ever
I was at the original Woodstock, saw this performance and in a semi-enhanced state of mind, it was incredible.... it was also late night and cold. Alvin Lee RIP, was one of the best under the radar guitarists ever. Ten Years After as a band was very well rounded...........you mentioned a rhythmn section...he WAS the rhytymn section, the band was Alvin on guitar, Leo Lyons on bass, Chick Churchill on keyboard & Ric Lee on drums... this was in August 1969
I am so happy to see you both enjoying Ten Years After my best friend is 78 and was able to attend Woodstock and he loved it, but he was lucky he lived in New York State. I am only 73 and I could not get to New York unless I hitch hiked across the US and I was young at the time but I wish now I had tried. I watch your videos almost every morning here in the Philippines while having my coffee. Watching your faces listening to Alvin Lee and Ten Years After was funny you both crack me up hahahaha Keep up the great work with all your videos
Alvin Lee is in the conversation when it comes to best guitarists. You need to listen to the bluest blues , possibly the best blues tune ever and he does it with George Harrison. RIP to both of them ❗️🇺🇸
Great reaction! Alvin Lee was known as one of the fastest guitarists in rock. I'd Love To Change the World is fantastic and The Bluest Blue is an amazing example of blues rock.
They called themselves 10 Years After, as they were 10 years after Elvis. They put out some great stuff - check out the album Cricklewood Green. If you haven't done Santana's show from Woodstock, you must.
Alvin Lee was an amazing Guitarist, Ten Years After where a great British Band. I saw them many years ago in the UK, they put on a great Concert RIP Alvin Lee😢
This is a reminder that your grandparents or great-grandparents were way cooler than you ever imagined.
My generation, Boomers
💯
That's my 68 years old ass
Why? They didn't make the music lol
@michaelwoods9005 they lived and created the culture that made the music. Plus many of those musicians became parents and then grandparents.
Man...that was a cut down version of that performance........ya need to watch the full version.
They have to cut it for today's attention spans. 😂
Yes, the long version as seen at Woodstock. Thanks for reacting.
@@RKIRCHDOTen Years After named ten years after Elvis breakthrough year in 1956.
Absolutely shocked by that cut.
I agree
As one who was there, many years ago, 10 years After was many years ahead. Thanks for the memories!
There were great guitar players and then you had Alvin Lee. R.I.P. Alvin Lee.
Alvin Lee...one of the most underrated guitars to ever live. Sensational!!
They put on a heck of a good show.
You are so right. Alvin Lee was one of the greats.
Amen

Of all the guitarists and performers at Woodstock, Alvin Lee was the one who left it all on the stage, one hundred percent.
Joe Cocker says hold my beer
@@ronberquist1558 - Good point.
I'd love to change the world is their biggest hit. You should do that next. Alvin Lee was just amazing on guitar.
Absolutely! The studio version of "I'd Love to Change the World" is such a great song, it's a must listen, but a completely different sound than this one, however Alvin Lee makes the guitar sound so amazing 👍
I like "I Love to Change the World" too but there's a lot written that it wasn't one of Alvin's favorites. I like "I Woke Up This Morning" from Ssssh album and the solo from Good Morning Little School Girl is epic too.
"I'd Love to Change the World" is my favorite from them.
Agree 💯
A classic.
Their best!
How did that turn out?
This is the shortened, edited version. You must react to the entire version!!
Thanks for the heads up👍
Alvin Lee passed away a couple of years back. One of the great guitar players and performesr, and a super nice human being. RIP Alvin.
10 Years After. Alvin Lee. It don't get much better for my ears! 😎
Nevers stop the video when Alvin Lee is playing and talk when he have finish playing.

A weird edit on this video. Watch the full version!
Yes, it’s a shame that the cut down versions are out there. They did the same thing with Soul Sacrifice by Santana. They cut out most of the epic drum solo done my Mike Shrieve.
Alvin Lee recorded one of the best rock/blues song of all times. The Bluest Blues (w/ George Harrison)
Totally agreed!! One of the greatest blues songs ever!!
@@suecook1326 To everyone who reads this, you have to watch the video with George. Phenomenal!
I was just about to say the same thing.

I haven't heard 10 Years after for years, makes me want to take my records out and play
Alvin Lee was pretty much acknowledged to be the fastest guitar player of the time.
i had the pleasure of seeing them do this song multiple times and it is a masterpiece. he was a tremendous guitar player!!!!
Alvin Lee was one of my guitar heroes 19 year old kid giving one of the most memorable performances at Woodstock
your right about how old we are just turned 75 in May but i still Rock Out
Rock and Roll came into being in the summer of 1954. This group formed in 1964. Hence, their name. Alvin Lee: the fastest fingers in the business. RIP.
Thanks for that tidbit, I didn't know 👍

I was at that show also got some great photos got to go on stage for a few pictures
Check out Choo Choo Mama.
I feel sorry for people who haven't heard of ten years after im in my 60 s and been listening to them since I was in my early teens and still listening to them one of my all time favourite bands
Alvin Lee is always overlooked as a great guitarist.. Ten Years After has the best Hippie song with "I'd Love To Change The World"
Yes. Came out in 1973 I believe. Really their only big hit in the U.S.
Check out the entire version, this is edited heavily. For me this was the best performance of the entire festival.
Alvin was called the fastest fingers in blues
ock.

I was racking my brains trying to think who it might be.. I would never have guessed it was Alvin. It was a great night he played superbly
I was fortunate to see Alvin Lee open for Kansas in 1980 and the guy slayed that poor guitar! Goodness what a great memory!
I never heard ten years after before...I like it.
You will not get many more live performances then this,brilliant musicians
There are also the live recordings from Winterland. I Can't Keep From Crying is a great showcase of his repertoire.
Love Alvin Lee. He was a superstar in the 70's. ( I'm 68).
Alvin Lee had the fastest fingers on earth. Saw him a few times including 1972 humble pie was the warm up act. Great show.
AWESOME! so much more to check out!!! Like I'd like to change the world " or even better...."one of these days"!!!!
Alvin Lee - the man!!!
While this is generally their introduction to the larger world, they were already a really seasoned live band by then, and yeah they've always had improv in a lot of their stuff from the very beginning. They also had quite a bit of a jazz influence in their very early days.
Incredible band with an incredible catalog. I think the next most obvious thing would be to do their massive hit from the early seventies, I'd Love to Change the World, studio track. It is truly iconic.
Make sure you watch Alvin Lee
and Leslie West in London.
Alvin and Leslie are unbelievable.
Back in the 1970s I saw Alvin Lee and Ten Years After. When they played “I’m going home”the crowd was standing on their seats cheering.
I seen him as well at the Uptown Theater in Kansas City, what a great concert that I don't hardly remember lol
There were no seats at Woodstock but you are right, they were rocking.
I saw them in Oklahoma City, don’t remember which arena
I do recall....at my 71 years. Thank you.
Best rock face in r&r!!!
Great video. I saw them live once and to me the bass player Leo Lyons is a shining star ever since.
10 yrs after…60? yrs later…I’m here. Love Alvin Lee ❤️🔥
It's funny because the last half of this is just totally headbanger material. Really ahead of its time.
Iconic Woodstock performance, up there with Santana's Soul Sacrifice and Joe Cockers w a Little help from me friends

Alvin Lee and Ten Years after. Man could he play!
The great Alvin Lee.
"I'd Love to Change the World". Really nice. Different sound; much more mellow.
This tune epitomizes where the blues gives birth to rock and roll. Shout out to Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley for inspiring this transformation.

been listening this band since the 70s ! great band it was !

Alvin Lee RIP, was one of the best under the radar guitarists ever. Ten Years After as a band was very well rounded...........you mentioned a rhythmn section...he WAS the rhytymn section, the band was Alvin on guitar, Leo Lyons on bass, Chick Churchill on keyboard & Ric Lee on drums... this was in August 1969
I stood right in front of him at a different festival . His speed was unbelievable
I am so happy to see you both enjoying Ten Years After my best friend is 78 and was able to attend Woodstock and he loved it, but he was lucky he lived in New York State.

The best band I have ever seen live their albums never matched their live performances Alvin Lee one of the great guitarists
my favorite also
Saw them in 71 El Paso county coliseum, pure rockin phenomenons.
Great reaction! Alvin Lee was known as one of the fastest guitarists in rock. I'd Love To Change the World is fantastic and The Bluest Blue is an amazing example of blues rock.
They called themselves 10 Years After, as they were 10 years after Elvis. They put out some great stuff - check out the album Cricklewood Green. If you haven't done Santana's show from Woodstock, you must.
I was an aspiring guitar player in 1969, it is 2024 and I’m still an aspiring guitar player, every time I hear Alvin Lee. Peace, I’m going home.
If you couldn't be there, you can watch the movie, "Woodstock" and you'll get a good feel for the whole festival
Alvin Lee was an amazing Guitarist, Ten Years After where a great British Band. I saw them many years ago in the UK, they put on a great Concert RIP Alvin Lee😢
Takes me back to my teens when I saw them a few times in the early 70s..
Rock & Roll is a healthy, cathartic drug, and musicians are artists and athletes.
I must be old I had this on 8 track Love this song
