Nice Beatles reference there. Yeah that's the perfect touch for him to be singing through that filter and flanger or phase shifter or whatever it is, but it is so reminiscent of The Beatles from just a handful of years before. ❤
In1969 I was a hotel maid in Salt Lake Utah. Went into a room to clean and this entire band was in the room. These guys, Talk about nervous, They talked to me a bit while I was trying to clean the room. Asking them if they needed any towels and such. They could tell I was nervous.. Upon leaving they gave me 5 tickets to the show that night. Me and 4 friends went and watched these gorgeous long haired men. Those were the best of days..The music,, well you know.
Alvin Lee had a close friendship with George Harrison and George played slide guitar on Lee's "The Bluest Blues". It's considered one of George's best solos.
Saw them back in 71. Alvin had some of the fastest fingers, According to very many of his contemporaries back in the day, and the thing that stands out most among all of them is Hendrix made some admiring statements about how great Alvin was.
Thanks for the Alvin Lee from my day. Also kudos for the Two Wolves mention. For those who may not be familiar: One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
Thank you for your perspective. My grandfather was on ww2 my older brothers Vietnam, and my husband in the Persian gulf which they got bombed. Our oldest son in Afgahanistan. I feel that any war not having to do directly with our country does not deserve the blood of our children period.
Everyday we saw the burnt bleeding bodies of our kids. As a kid I lived in a working class neighborhood and we lost so many, my brothers were coming to that age. I can’t tell you what it felt like to be a small child seeing the war on tv every night, along with the social unrest ,the southern people screaming at little kids trying to go to scroll, police openly beating everyone,using water cannons on people protesting. Rage at injustice is burned into my soul . The pain of the tyranny overtaking the country right now . I wish the young the best , it’s your hot mess now .
Dude, that is a fantastic idea for a trilogy. Absolutely. Throw even more emphasis on the circular nature of it and bootstrap a few things in there, and now you've got maybe even a great science fiction trilogy, but it's still powered by the really provocative idea underneath it of the generational unfolding and a sense of almost cycling back around. But there's tension in there with the rebellion stage. ❤
One of my favorite amd i think best guitarist of all time. He was good friend of George Harrison and they loved to sit and kam just for kicks... he has many rockers from his solo days. I saw him in Denver in the 80s I think. Great show....
I met my future husband in 1972, when I was 18 and a senior in H.S. He was fresh out of the military, loved his buddies, but ready to put that behind and join the peace movement. Such a great song to chill out too. Still have this vinyl in our old collection. We’ve been together for 54 years, married for 49….. still rocking😎
Saw them live in Hawaii on the tour for their album after this one. Incredible! The opening act stunk - a brand new smooth rock band with no edge called The Eagles. But Ten Years After were on fire!
I honestly don't know if I have heard this in 50-odd years, but the words and music were straight back front and centre. Amazing and beautiful! Thanks, Arnie
Indeed. Unfortunately this music and things associated with it were the only things I did learn in college. Oh, add I learned I didn't like going to class, lol.
Alvin never performed this song live because he was not thrilled about it being a hit single. he was very much against releasing singles and never wanted to be known as a pop band. perhaps that’s why he put the slurs in th lyrics, to keep it out of the pop charts? he knew what he was doing, as he boasted at Woodstock that Good Morning Little School Girl was “banned nationwide for on word, and that’s ‘ball’”
Great timing as it was 54 years ago last week, that I saw Ten Years After in Toronto. We were so mesmerized by Alvin Lee's playing along with the entire amazing band. Great memories and Happy Canada Day! Thanks Lee & Arnie P.!
I lived through it. Yes, I was relieved when they abolished the draft and went to an entirely voluntary military. We wondered if it would last, but here we are decades later, still voluntary.
listen to that ES-335 scream..Alvin Lee one of the all time greats.... TYA one of the greatest rock bands of all time. "I'd Love To Change The World" one of the greatest songs a true absolute classic inn every sense.
Alvin was phenomenal. I saw him five times, twice with Ten Years After, once with Ten Years Later, and twice solo. Incredible shows every time. He never played this song at any of those shows. Go back and listen to the drums and bass. The lyrics, melody and guitar bring you in, but the bass and drums are right up there with everything else. Lots of great TYA songs you could do - Rock and Roll Music To The World, Slow Blues in C, I Woke Up This Morning, Good Morning Little Schoolgirl, No TItle, Baby Won't You Let Me Rock and Roll You,....
Was a young aspiring song writer when this came out. Dug the music but thought that the lyrics were lazy. Old now, enough to know I was an ignorant punk. Great song!
Another classic ! Just wait until someone requests the song , Good Morning Little Schoolgirl , live at Winterland in 1975 ! You might like that ! Another good one is Woodchoppers Ball !!
@@L33Reacts Alvin Lee’s guitar was crying to us today. And Lou Reed? I remember being on a subway in NYC as a teenager and a cross dresser came on the train with fishnet stockings and short shorts and a tank top. I was from Illinois and never saw someone different. It was an educational experience and I still remember it. I love that song and have played it multiple times today.
Great reaction Lee. Love the way you weave stories and themes from your life into your videos. Even though it’s through the internet you make a real human connection that way and it’s very cool. Great message in this song that it’s too daunting to figure out how to change the world but you can be the world you want it to be.
My uncle worked on helicopters in Viet Nam during the early days of the war (1966). He had just returned, we were all at Gramdma's house, I looked at his scrapbook from the war. A few photos showed South Vietnamese soldiers with necklaces of human ears and other horrors. When I turned 18 a few years later, I knew I wanted nothing to do with that war.
Great song Lee! A Space in Time is a grand album. I bought it years and years ago and dug the shit out of it. This was their radio hit. The first two songs on the album are my favorite though: One of These Days, a great rocker, and Here They Come, a spacy eerie song about alien visitors. Love your reactions dude!
Lee, one of my favorite songs ever. Alvin just kills on this. My favorite album by them to. Got to see Alvin Lee & Ten Years Later a couple of times, always great. He does a nice cover of the Beatles I Want You (She's So Heavy) How about Walk Like A Man next
Miy favorite 10 years after song I always found the 1 line ironic. Tax the rich feed the poor till there aint no rich no more. Is that what we really want ? Rich people provide the jobs we wind up with everyone poor This is coming from an old Marine 68-72 turned hippy :) Another great live performance by them is Hello little school girl
I'm going home . . . by helicopter - That's another great listen, Alvin's set at Woodstock, he's in a groove a mile deep. I had friends who briefly argued this was a George Harrison song. Ah, the days of the DJ not mentioning the name at the end, missing the start where they talked over the opening was a crime too.
Hi Lee. 'A Space in Time' (1970), one of the greatest and most beautiful Albums of all time from one of the greatest Bands of all Time with one of the greatest Guitarists, Singer and Composers in the Hisrory of Rock, Mr. Alvin Lee - Ten Years After! This Album from 1970 is One of the most outstanding Albums ever recorded. A Record of beguiling beauty. Hence my tip - is simple: listen, marvel, enjoy, kneel down and cry! ☺ Kind Regards Heinz (from Munich/Germany). 🌳❤🥀✨
Hello Heinz! Good to see you. Thank you for watching! Hopefully we don’t have to wait almost 4 months for the next ten years video 😏😊 I definitely enjoyed this and I will hopefully check it out
@@L33Reacts Hi, Lee. Yesterday I've send you a long Message but to my great disappointment, it has disappeared or been deleted. I found that very strange, not least because of that because I only recommended three excellent albums from 3 excellent bands to you. That's why I'm faced with a conundrum. Perhaps you can help me to understand what was the reason for it or why it happened? 🤔 Kind Regards Heinz.
Great song! The Vietnam War ended the year before I turned 18 and my age group of males were getting a bit worried we'd be called up for the draft. My mom later told me she was ready to take me and my younger brother to Canada, if it came down to that, and I had to tell her I probably wouldn't have left with her. No matter how opposed to the war I was, I'm not a coward. However, it was a tense time back then, which was undercut by a pervasive, growing numbness to the war, due to the "Body Count." Every evening on the Nightly News, the networks would update the viewers on the progress (or lack thereof) of the war and then would show the damned Body Count, which ranged from 35 - 235 deaths every single day. It was a horror show, and eventually people began to grow numb to the death and destruction, just to cope with the trauma caused by seeing that damned Body Count, along with the horrific visuals coming out of 'Nam. A lot of people wanted to change the world back then, and much got done, but "the man," like a Vegas casino, always wins.
Love TYA, there's only one problem here, your first listen was " I'm going home" which is off their first album " Undead " and this one is off one of their last albums , there's a lot in-between you missed.😂 You still have a lot of work to do.🤣🤣🤠👍
This will still sound great decades into the future. Very 70s-rooted and yet kind of timeless. Fun to play too. When I play this at 'gigs' the smiles on people's faces makes all the work I did learning to play guitar well worth it.
I remember buying this excellent LP along w "Who's Next", "After the Gold Rush" + "Seatrain" in '71. 4 for $10. @ Flo's Record Boutique in Pittsburgh, freshman year. Music Explosion.
An iconic song! I was 5 yrs.old when I first heard this song. It made me instantly aware of what an electric guitar sound was. I was instantly mesmerized by it. One of my desert island songs for sure:)
@Sanparr1 Well almost, it was a reporter who asked that question to Eddie Van Halen and he replied how the hell would I know you need to go ask Alex Lifeson The guitarist of Rush. But yes Jimmy had said very nice things about Alvin Lee and what a great player he was.
Great Review! I had the good fortune of seeing Alvin ! Saturday, October 01, 1983 Venue: E M Loews Theatre Location: Worcester, Massachusetts, United States "One of These Days" "Rock 'N' Roll Guitar Picker" "Good Morning School Girl" "Slow Blues in 'C'" "Love Like a Man" "Ain't Nothin' Shakin'" "Hey Joe" "Slow Down" "Help Me" "I'm Going Home" "Choo Choo Mama" "Sweet Little Sixteen"
My recollection is hearing or reading that Alvin Lee really didn't like this song. I saw them 3 or 4 times when they were still pretty big, and they never played it. I saw Alvin flying kick over one of his Marshall stacks when their encore was interrupted twice by power loss. He then turned to the audience, smiled and waved, and that was the end of the show. Oddly satisfying ending.
Listen closely, at the very very end, Alvin said he put a last vocal line with a phaseshift...I'll leave it up to you...ooo, ooh. ( and the last spoken phrase) "and the best of luck"
Nice Beatles reference there. Yeah that's the perfect touch for him to be singing through that filter and flanger or phase shifter or whatever it is, but it is so reminiscent of The Beatles from just a handful of years before. ❤
In1969 I was a hotel maid in Salt Lake Utah. Went into a room to clean and this entire band was in the room.

awsome tune!
Thank you for the suggestion. I will take that under consideration 🤓👍
Straight up classic. Every time Alvin gets mentioned, everyone smiles and nods... Just doesn't happen often enough.
I agree. He should be brought up more. Time is a savage beast.
Nope the worst song 12 yr ...wimpy fan boys should have done Sugar The Road...by this time just in it for the money...awful elevator music
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN sorry, don't agree
Should be mentioned as among the finest rock guitarists of the era, and is not.
@@DENVEROUTDOORMANreally? Retarded
Saw them back in 71.

Whats insane this song done over half a decade ago sounds like it was meant for today!
Alvin Lee one of the most underrated guitarist of all time! ✌🏻
Half a century......
@@scottgoehlert6052 thanks ✌🏻

I was in middle school. Scary times.
I love the feathering of the guitar on this song.Amazing solo work.
One of the most underrated groups ever.
I saw Alvin Lee and Johnny Winter on the same night in Portland Oregon in the 70’s. I was in guitar heaven!
WOW, I'm jealous! Keep on jammin!
One of the best guitarist’s in rock
I remember owning the Cricklewod Green album by them. A great band and Alvin Lee is one of the greats. Thanks Arnie and Lee.
Great album...don't know why they didn't pick something of that like Sugar The Road instead of this sellout for money...
One of the best guitar skies of its time.

You’re very welcome. Brings back great memories and a great message too.
So happy this was introduced to you. Great song
Another band and album I learned of in College in the 70s. Who says you can't learn anything in school.
Indeed. Unfortunately this music and things associated with it were the only things I did learn in college. Oh, add I learned I didn't like going to class, lol.
Incredible honesty, respect, and insight to what was going on in those days. Great job
"I'd Love To Change The World" by Ten Years After, was the 1960s handing the baton to the 1970s.
Well said!!!
Nope was a big sellout that wasn't very good...they had much better songs earlier in their career...
The only other song that would fit this criteria is All Right Now by Free.
The first big out of town concert i went to was 1972 in Cleveland 16 years old. Ten Years After, Black Oak Arkansas opened for them.
Alvin never performed this song live because he was not thrilled about it being a hit single. he was very much against releasing singles and never wanted to be known as a pop band.
perhaps that’s why he put the slurs in th lyrics, to keep it out of the pop charts?
he knew what he was doing, as he boasted at Woodstock that Good Morning Little School Girl was “banned nationwide for on word, and that’s ‘ball’”
Killer song! Love Alvin Lee!
Have you seen their Woodstock performance? One of the most insane things you'll ever see.
And that was way way better than this...
One of favorite songs of all time.
Congrats on hitting 25K!
Hey thanks man I appreciate that. Onwards and upwards. Can’t do it without y’all 🙏🙏
that whole album is fire!!!!
Great reaction. Alvin Lee was amazing. The Bluest Blue is a fantastic song by him

Yamo highly recommend Bad Scene 'n Stoned Woman from their classic album SSSSH. I saw them live at the Fillmore West in 1969...a great show.
Love this song. Not PC today, but still moved me.
Thanks, ARNIE P.
You’re welcome.
Classic song ☮️
Bluest Blue is a song that I guarantee you will have it on your playlist!✌🏻
Great song! Excellent critique! Lee, when are you going to start Reviewing more, Doobie Brothers? So many great songs in their catalog.
Whenever people request them again! I wish I had a slot free. The one free slot was the James gang video I did this morning lol
Fantastic song

Got to see Alvin Lee & Ten Years Later a couple of times, always great.
He does a nice cover of the Beatles I Want You (She's So Heavy)
How about Walk Like A Man next
Damn I gotta hear that cover that sounds good
Ten years after is one my favorite bands ever and and why they’re not in the rock and roll hall of fame is crazy
that tone is impeccable
Their "Recorded Live" album is amazing. Highly recommended.

Great song. This song is the one with which I'm most familiar from them.
Alvin Lee's solo featuring George Harrison on slide, very cool
"Tax the rich,
Feed the poor,
'Till there are no rich no more". "Nuff said.

Wimpy boy song...not a good song...and they had so many better

This is a really good album ,you should give a listen
Now you gotta love the drumming in this song,lol.TYA is truly a badass band.Rip in the history of R&R.
My recollection is hearing or reading that Alvin Lee really didn't like this song. I saw them 3 or 4 times when they were still pretty big, and they never played it. I saw Alvin flying kick over one of his Marshall stacks when their encore was interrupted twice by power loss. He then turned to the audience, smiled and waved, and that was the end of the show. Oddly satisfying ending.
Saw their farewell concert at the Old Chicago Stadium. People ripped out their sets and took them home!
Listen closely, at the very very end, Alvin said he put a last vocal line with a phaseshift...I'll leave it up to you...ooo, ooh. ( and the last spoken phrase) "and the best of luck"
Still the best band I have ever seen live by far
