Alvin Lee - The Bluest Blues (feat. George Harrison) HD720p 

Brilliant job! Thank you for the comment, Tim. Long creative years to you!

yea,,seen Ten Years After once ,,always loved Alvin

You played with a legend in my book...your a lucky man

My dad took me too see him in MODESTO CALIF. I WAS 16 ,BACK IN 1974. I love too change the world was the song he sang. My first concert. (I JUST LOVE HIM!!!)THANK-YOU✌😛💖

They don’t get any better than this Tim - Wonderful Job ! And to be there helping produce it - your a lucky man !

78 years and I ve never heard it before. Really one of the best pieces of blues ever. Thanks.

I'm 81 and totally agree with you.

Приветствую Вас!Это произведение моей молодости.Настольгия моих родителях. Мне 62 года исполниться 7 марта, без музыки не живу!Ленинград❤❤❤

It is bitchin..

I'm 72 agree

Is that a joke??? He slides for like 25 seconds on 3 cords. Hell check out Ten Years After, Help Me...Alvin Lee rips 7 cord slide using his friggin harmonica for God's sake.

@@david1044 you have to relax. Harrison was never known for his shredding, yes? On the contrary, he was a quite good slide guitarist with a lot of feel. The fact that Alvin Lee invited him to play this solo must tell you something, unless you think that lee was a simpleton to do it.

Wundetfull

I think you did!

Very true!

This isn't really even a blues tune- it's a power ballad. Only someone who's never listened to Wolf or Muddy or Buddy Guy or Robert Johnson, or Son House or Little Walter or BB or Elmore James would say something this dumb. This is a great song with wonderful performances, but claiming a white guy from England wrote and performed a better blues song than the guys I mentioned is just ridiculous.

@@craighumphrey8287 I'll go with this version if you don't mind.

Я ВОСХИЩАЮСЬ ВСЮ ЖИЗНЬ, МНЕ 62 ГОДА, ЛЮБЛЮ ОЧЕНЬ РАЗНУЮ МУЗЫКУ, НО , КОГДА СЛЫШУ БЛЮЗ, Я ПРОКРУЧИВАЮ ВСЮ ЖИЗНЬ, СЛЕЗЫ СЧАСТЬЯ И Я ЖИВУ ВНОВЬ!Ленинград❤❤❤

Those Brothers left a massive void behind,Less We Forget by cranking up the volume .. Gone not forgotten 👊🏾🇳🇿👊🏾

Beautifully said and all so similar talents. Well done.

萩原さん　同感です‼️

@@user-ko1ws1rc6h 特にゲイリームーアと僕は同い年なもので、彼が公演をしていたスペインで急逝したというニュースは、とてもショックでした。

Could I have said it any better? Absolutely not. This music is the binding tie that unites us as brothers and sisters. The universal peacemaker. Amor y Paz. Rock till you drop!!!!

Absolutely

So was so many others before .

Oh fuck ya he was. Lucky to see 10 yrs aft 4 times in mid 70's

Yes,all time! Khamid.

@@rikaroo Rick you lucky guy,saw him alive, be proud,it,s your remember,l am glad for you.good luck.Khamid.

HLT - I have loved everything George Harrison has played; he has a very unique sound that is identifiable.

I had no idea that was George Harrison 😳 epic

My favorite Beatle. For my Father/Daughter dance at my daughters wedding, she picked Here Comes the Sun, it reminds her of happier times! @@maxperry1635

I don’t play the guitar 🎸 but imo Derek Trucks is THE best slide player that I’ve ever heard!

yep. unfortunately. BUT - WE KNOW HE BELONGS TO THE ABSOLUTELY TOP OF THE TOPS ::: and nobody will change it ;-)

I saw Alvin Lee and Ten Years After as a young man in San Francisco....I was left in awe and knew immediately that he was a cut above and something rare and special. Today I'm left to question why he together with Ten Years After are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.....especially when you consider some who occupy places of prominence there.....this is the man who stole Woodstock among other things.....it boggles my mind that he continues to occupy the hearts of so many, but is unrecognized by his peers.

You are so right. People don't know how great Alvin was.

Alvin Lee was one of the greatest, I saw him in Frankfurt.

Noting about Alvin Lee is {under appreciated} is this some new lingo for the overused (underrated), ugh say it ain’t sooo 😑

Me too, 🤣🤣

Amen

Slide guitar..it's beautiful... perfect

Alvin and George were neighbors. Well actually… they still are. ❤️

who plays slide like that!

Chris Ray?

Rea

Абсолютно верно !

Totally agree, have loved their stuff since I was in my teens (70s), Alvin long my hero @Scott McGrew

You are so wright Scott!!

Awesome blues

bravo!!! fully agree

✨💙✌️💙✨

Agreed at 60.....never again

Me neither. Alvin Lee to me was always a great player who could shred unbelievably ala Goin' Home.A beautiful song and beautiful solo by Harrison. Alvin's solo is a melodic masterpiece and completely different from what I'd come to expect from him having listened to him over the years. I was shocked when I first heard it.

Has to be a german shepherd dog……

And with a good 12 year old scotch..... single malt or double doesn't matter....

​@@johnkumeu811... so you never had an Akita Inu as a companion walking at your side. 😊

A dog actually LYING by your feet (as we say in English), is even better!

hogula you know what’s good music my friend 👍

I have listened as a term of 14 years old 🙏

You have missed it now you now it 🙏

George Harrison plays the first guitar solo

Really hits home. Divorced after 40 years together

@@johnshuler8688 Sorry Friend. It rips your heart out.

Same at 74 🥰. Take care Dear Friend 🙏🏻

At 79 here, not bad at all...

He also was an incredible musician and entertainer, he truly was one of the greats...RIP

Must b jammin up in Heaven. Can't wait to get their.

@@paulcota5465 Magic isn't real.

@WildBill-ur6jp This is an epic blues number. I've been a fan of Alvin Lee, and Ten Years After since 1970 when I bought their LP "Sssh." Alvin is a very underrated guitarist. I like to think he was "shredding" before it was a thing.

Losing a Father is a hard blow. Mine gave me the love of music. He left in 1985. Sometimes it seems like yesterday. Truly, this is a great song.

I just found it as well! I am lucky as well! 👍❤️

Indeed, thank you Yt random recommended.

Amen!

I am 74 next January. I was at the Isle of Wight in 1970. Nobody can have the memories today like I have. 5 days of TYA, The WHO, Hendrix, Doors etc..............

@@keithdonnellan5564 : Im also 74 this August 2022, I was in Hyde Park for the Stones and Blind Faith Concerts in 69, tripping on Acid at both as we did some of that way back when. Left the UK in 1970 and never lived there again... thankfully...

TYA--Alvin Lee, Fillmore East, love, brotherhood--heaven

Let's not forget Leo Lyons thumbing that bass...)) I wonder if Alvin had ever used an SG as that neck is a bit faster than an ES335. Botched operation took Alvin to heaven, but a little too soon. Same can be said of the always dapper Charlie Watts.

Trés bon qout!

Jeff Sacks yes....when a guitar cries and wails...this is the sounnnnd

Love this Guy!! Never got the Respect He Deserves!!!#

Alvin's guitar speaks with such passion!

This is the best bluesy rock song ever !!!

Definitely. That riff was fkn outstanding.

Hence “The Bluest Blues”

Outstanding playing from George

Yes he certainly blew Woodstock away with the song I'm going home

I totally agree, I have been listening to Ten Years After and Alvin Lee since I joined Columbia Music Club in the late 1960’s! It was the only way I could afford a turntable! He is/was fantastic!

Hello Robbie, How are you doing?

Unreal, Bluest Blues. Red house, life doesnt get much better.

Здорово сказано!Привет Санкт Петербург

I also saw this show but at the spectrum in Pa. J Geils was amazing . All that roach dope saved for two weeks then all re rolled all night long.

Just imagine the world if Al how to change it. He wouldn't have left it up to You,

Lucky you, great memory for a lifetime;)

We saw them 2 nights outta 3 standing in front of him at the House of Blues in Chicago in 1997-- Spoke with him in the lounge before one of the shows-- Always one of my favorite guitar players!!!!! We saw them in the early 70s in the Amphitheatre a couple of times too

Awesome, how lucky were you?

I totally agree ..

Thomas Owens indeed

Yessss

Hands down, the finest blues song ever..in my opinion. Alvin and the gang at their most soulful. This masterpiece never fails to make me tear up. I'm 67 years old and listened to 10 Years After on and off since the Woodstock movie, however I only recently discovered this track. Maybe that's a good thing cuz it renewed my interest in Alvin's work.

me too :)

@@shadowberry1191 Me3

Me4

Looks like that makes Me5?

It makes me cry when I think about it. We lived in the golden age, didn't we?

Not quite mate.

YUP. Have to agree.

Agree

Everyone I hear it I cry. It's too much.

Amen brother Dave B.

I have not heard anyone come close to playing guitar . It moves you deeply. some will cry.

Sorry for your loss.

@@sandydority2532 I appreciate your taking the time to express sympathy to someone you'll likely never meet. I've used music to help get through the death of my wife, which followed the death of our daughter and my father all within the space of 15 months. Music was an essential part of our marriage, helping to bring us together and create many important memories to share. Karen, my wife's name but nothing like the stereotype that name has acquired, was a trained contralto voice and a conductor as well. My complete lack of musical talent gave me a sense of awe towards her beautiful vocal skills. For all of the performances she was involved in, I only possess one recording of her singing as a soloist. But that song sung in classical German evokes tears of joy and loss every time I play it. It's a perfect match to her vocal range, and allows her natural talent and love for music to be given it's best possible expression. Obviously I'm not neutral in my review of signing, but I will always take some pride in being her partner in life. Thanks for giving me an opportunity to put down in words what we shared in life and what I've lost when she passed away. If this attempt at writing a comment in reply to you is successful, it will be the fourth time I've tried to put into words how our time together made me a better person. I've been using the comment sections as a kind of personal therapy. Telling others about the grief I feel and the constant fog daily life has become, has kept me from bottling everything inside. Being able to vent has probably stopped me from spiraling down and out. So I thank you and so many others for reminding me that life can still have moments of beauty and hope even though I've lost those who gave it meaning and purpose. When you take the time to express sympathy because you can understand what it might feel like to be in their shoes, it helps to remind me that my life isn't over because of what I've lost. The world is still full of beauty and good people if I can keep going. What I've lived through is preparation for what comes next. Thanks again, hope your day goes well. Also wanted to mention that I love the font you used in your comment. Could you tell me where you found it? Peace

🌃😢🌃

possibly the most unique slide player ever. derek trucks is great, but george.........god-like

Hi I never heard him play bad SLIDE didn't get enough credit for His Great SLIDE Gimme Some Truth

An absolute rock music fanatic my whole life, I've absolutely loved to death many tracks and never thought I would see a song beat any of them. Started listening to this one last year and this is the greatest. The guitar solos are truly unbelievable. Tears in my eyes every time I listen

I turn 60 on the 15th of this month, and I just heard this song! It's by far; ""THE BEST BLUE'S SONG EVER!!""

Same league as Comfortably Numb

@@davidanboo1205 My exact same thought.

Not only a masterpiece for Lee but Harrison as well. I actually have to remember to breath while listening to this.

Could be... it takes you off to infinity.

Cool--- Same here except in 1997 at the House of Blues in Chicago-- 2 outta 3 nights we stood right in front of him in the 1st row.......

Listened to this in the "Nordpol" in Lutjenburg, DB, in '69, and it was a hit for us blues fans then. I hear it today and it still is, this being '19. What is this crap called rap?

c'mon.. one of the highly respected white bluesman...wht r u saying about..

Incredible! Especially the last couple minutes. What a wonderful thing to stumble onto.

not to me

I get it now , I'am 67 and got it when I was 16, love his blues and his rock. Coming Home how could you forget.

that's what it sounds like when a guitar cries.

@@garyclark9185 HE SURE COULD SQUSE THOESE STRINGS....

Božidar Mijač 💚

Alvin talking to us through tears of...,..🎶🎸

It is crying!

When did he die?? One by one we're losing all the great ones.................And he was definitely as great as any of the other masters of guitar.

beginilahhhhhhhh

Ariellyn he died on March 6, 2013 after a procedure to correct an atrial arrhythmia. He was 68

Lpmgato1 Alvin was the best guitarist at Woodstock that weekend. He wouldn't compromise his music and become a sell out so Ten Years After never gained the accolades they deserved.

this is very Cool.. George on Slide!!! ;),,,

really the same !!!!

I tell ya, you missed a really great one..........

Heard them in Nuremberg Germany. My unit had been sent from Vietnam to the Rhineland. Hallelujah. Great beer and a wonderful experience to hear Ten Years After.

Glad you have finally had a rock education.

Ggpu

Nuff said.

amen bro

Yep... "fastest guitar in the west"... AMAZING talent, gone... Has to be in Rock Hall of Fame... SOON !

I get such a pain in my stomach about Woodstock. THEY WERE RIGHT!! DAMN IT, THEY WERE ALL RIGHT.
