Ten Years After- I'm Going Home REACTION!!! 

Alvin Lee...one of the most under-rated guitar players of all time...

Alvin was a monster guitar player but don’t overlook the incredible bass playing by Leo Lyons and smoking drums by Rick Lee!

It’s so incredible this was Alvin Lee’s moment and he took it for all it was worth and made it count .I think everybody there who was able to hear him had to pick their jaw from the floor He tore it up and will be known for this performance forever

That whole era was great for pure blues rock n roll..so raw and aggressive.

The legendary Alvin Lee. Now you know.

I had the good luck to see Ten Years After a few months after Woodstock. They were simply terrific live and Alvin Lee was just as fantastic as this famous video shows. What a guitarist! He had great rapport with us crazy fans in the audience, which I appreciated. I'm 71 years old, still rockin' and I have great memories of Alvin Lee and this wonderful band. RIP Alvin.

This era was the best time ever to be a teenager! A generation with a soundtrack.

That era was the best and Alvin was brilliant.

He was so ahead of his time , RIP Alvin forever missed and thank you for making this world a better place

For me this is probably the greatest guitar intros ever. Thanks for featuring it.

Unbelievable performance, RIP Alvin Lee.

To me this guy's performance is the BEST about Woodstock! I love this song. : )

the greatest single performance in the history of R&R never to be equaled in a million years. he also played homage to Elvis. the bass player will never be equaled either

Saw them for the first time on 04/04/1970 at the Capitol Theater in Portchester New York. The Legendary DJ Scott Muni from WNEW FM introduced them. What an amazing concert. From that night on and today Alvin Lee is my favorite guitarist of all time as is TEN YEARS AFTER my favorite rock blues band of all time. Saw the original TYA 6 times and Alvin 4 times without TYA. I live in the Bronx New York. Everytime I drive home from Limerick PA,I always listen to the live cd Ten Years After from the Fillmore East . A great way to drive home. I just drove home this past Saturday 02/22. Their version of Sonny Boy Williamson's Help Me is the best I ever heard. Also check out I Cant Keep From Cryin' and Rick Lee's solo on drums Hobbit. I once saw Alvin with Ten Years Later in August of 1989 at The Chance in Poughkeepsie NY,it was a very intimate club. I was only ten feet from Alvin, Ill never forget that great memory. Alvin Lee. MAY HE RIP.

Do yourself a BIG favor, girl. This was Ten Years After at Woodstock. Find the uncut version for your own enjoyment, because this edit does not really do it justice!!

The Late Alvin Lee is one of my favorite guitarrista of all time. Very underrated but a true blues rock interpreter. Great band. I’d Love to change the world. 50,000 miles beneath my brain. Love them

Love that you reacted to one of the great performances in rock and roll history and that you genuinely appreciated it!

The late, great Alvin :Lee was 1 of the world's greatest guitarists who totally idolized the Chicago-style Black Man's blues. His bandmates-Ric Lee (drummer-no relation), Chick Churchill (keyboards), & Leo Lyons (bass guitarist) were brilliant in their own right-& the chemistry they made together speaks for itself. Lee was a great poet too; his lyrics reflect that-w/ a lot of social & political commentary. I love it when young people today tune in & turn on to this era of ultimately timeless muzik....

That music! You CAN'T sit still & listen to this! This it's my first time hearing this too. Thanks love it! WOOOOOOHOOOOO!

Alvin Lee and Ten Years After killed it at Woodstock in 1969. A memorable performance.

Alvin Lee could put on a concert all by himself but with Ten Years After, well suffice it to say it was an experience.

When a band more-than-earns their standing applause ...

That's some bad ass guitar... I saw him play this live 4 times... 3 when he was the front man and heart of Ten Years After and 1 time when Alvin fronted Ten Years Later. Rock on!!!!

I was in awe the two times I saw him play live .he's part of the reason im wearing hearing aids ! crank it up !

When you say the camera is going crazy, believe me that’s how it felt to be at their concerts. And I totally agree with Billy Sharp. Alvin Lee was definitely underrated as a guitarist.

Phew! Half a century later still love it.

Alvin Lee died in 2013 after surgery.... 68 years old. Rock on Alvin, RIP.

This particular performance was all the rage and talk from the Woodstock show. As a young aspiring musician in 1969, I was honed in on the music of the times. We all thought Alvin Lee must have been doing speed to be able to play that fast. In other performances of this song, he plays it at a slower tempo. Those were special days. So many excellent musicians. Real musicians!

One of their best songs is I'd Love To Change The World

Alvin Lee was the fastest guitar player of his day

Alvin Lee one of our very best guitarists! Doesn't get the recognition he deserves. As good as Clapton and others. TYA superb group full of talent. Leo Lyons on bass

Every band and performer who was on that stage at Woodstock in 1969 played their hearts and souls out for all the people in attendance ... and a few groups were almost "brand new" in the music industry at the time. Santana; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; and several others were just getting their feet wet in the youth movement and getting recognized by the hippies, boppers, music lovers of all sorts.

Uufff este hombre era un genio , lo amoooo.

Still makes me want to get up and DANCE! I love Alvin Lee

I was 16 at the time- as impressive(ok, my jaw dropped) as Alvin was, the bass line just reached inside- I went out and got a bass after that, determined to learn to walk that thing like he did

You would probably love Canned Heat live from the same era

It is So important . I just don't know how people can live or how I EVER lived before without watching another person's reaction to first hearing this song. It changed my life . I need to go watch all the videos I can of other people ,watching videos.I now understand the meaning of life.

Girl ! You just witnessed Rock N Roll Royalty At it Best !!!

The 1st time I herd this was in music class 1970 Robert imperato blasted it on boom box,my brain froze,all these years later still thawing over this,masterpiece

This is from Woodstock,that's why he says he's going home by helicopter because the roads were so jammed with the 450,000 attendees it was the only way for the bands to get in and out.

Ten Years After is so under-rated from that era. Back in the late 70's we played this at bars and parties as a "jam song" everyone got to solo, and usually stretched the song out like to 15 minutes plus.

1997, Esbjerg Rock Festival in Denmark. I was there with Peter Green's Splinter Group. We sat outside our dressing Portakabin drinking with Ten Years After, the very same line up that appears in the video, after watching them play a blistering set

He was wasted as hell at Woodstock. He did such a master performance. It's amazing

Cricklewood Green - my favourite TYA album. Whole album is on RU-vid.

You can almost hear the roots of thrash metal in Alvin Lee's 'going home'. Lee was a wild man in his day. I'm only 2 years younger than Alvin, wish I had seen him live!

This is not the full version. It’s been chopped in a few places. Best to see the full version.

Oh yes. I saw Ten Years After and knew the feeling. Anything by Mountain or Humble Pie....Disraeli Gears by Cream or anything by Cream. Anything by Trapeze or Traffic and one more ..Eight Miles High by The Byrds...

This performance is from Woodstock. Unfortunately this is a cut up and really shortened version. Pink Metal Head: If you liked this version, you will LOVE the uncut version!

Remember this from the Woodstock film, absolutely the best

My friend who was around at that time told me in his best way. "This music was a protest to the war, a protest to the police, and a protest to the government at the time." I feel as if this type of music is groovy and funky and awesome but it was also filled with pain and anger for what was happening

I am 74 years old and I have never in my life seen such jamming goodness ever. He and that band and the audience were one, just jamming at max speed.

I have seen Ten Years After in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam in january 1972 I was thirteen years old.

Iconic performance!

I love how you expand your tastes. To many get trapped with in their "genre" and miss out on so much excellent music. Love you darlin. Keep on expanding your tastes

That was great! I loved watching you see and hear this for the first time and loving it! It was the next best thing to hearing it again for the very first time. Im always amazed to see Alvin Lee not on a greatest Rock Guitarists list. He should be on all of them!

The reference to helecopter is that ALL the artists at Woodstock were helecoptered on and off the site

Yes do react to more TYA, watts and cricklewood green or a space in time, are amazing albums Alvin Lee never made a bad tune.RIP

HOLY COW!! Still as fresh as it was in 1969 !!

You are right. The late sixties into the seventies were the best era by far. Glad you got to appreciate Alvin “Fast Fingers” Lee. Welcome to my world.

You add a whole new dimension to listening to these old songs. Beautiful!

I love your reaction to this epic classic from Ten Years After at Woodstock. I’ve been listening to it ever since the movie came out I think it was 1970. It never gets old. Rent Woodstock the movie and you gonna find some fantastic music from that concert that launched many careers. Check out sly and the family stone Carlos Santana Jimi Hendrix Joe Cocker Richie Havens so many rock icons from that era.

This performance, along with Santana's Soul Sacrifice, were the best Woodstock perfomrances in my opinion.

It was an amazing era. How'd have been seeing this for the first time? It's great to honor the true classics.

Ten years After was named by founder / Guitarist Alvin Lee Which 10 yrs after the birth of Rock & Roll (1957) He started his band in '67 He had 10+ albums . His biggest hit would come later , "I'd love to change the world " You should give a listen 👍😎👍

This song will played at my funeral!!!!!!

This is not the entire performance of the song,but its still incredible.

You're talking over the best parts. Dude is supersonic, mind blowing.

I was lucky to see them at the Academy of Music on 14th Street in NYC when I was 16!

Saw 10 yrs after at Boston Garden unreal! Alvin Lee RIP

What would have been awesome is if Jimi and Alvin had played at the same time. Both were awesome but combined. = Legend. We are greater together than apart.

Alvin Lee's guitar-stink-face is/was/will always be..... rivalled by no one!!!!!

Jeez, imagine having to play that at every gig...........exhaustion!!!!!! Check out some other fantastic performances, from other bands, at Woodstock!

Boogie Woogie blues, combined with Rock. Just pure jam. I was only 11 tears old when this song hit big. My older step-sister gave me the Woodstock album when I was 13. I wore it out.

I saw them back in around 1970 in Houston, Texas!

Let the Sky Fall studio version is amazing. I really loved watching this.

Thanks for helping me re-live the first time I heard it!!!

Darling, this is pure Rock & blues!

ENERGY personified .

I believe him too!

oooo... You should see Santana's performance of 'Soul Sacrifice' from that same event (it was the Woodstock Festival BTW...)

Ten Years After live at Woodstock 1969 a definition of classic rock. 3 day of Peace, Music. and Love. 350,000 people attended this concert dubbed by CBS news as Hippie Fest. Check out Richie Havens "FREEDOM"

Alvin Lee my dear. Thank you. Now it is time to react to Rory Gallagher. Nobody has reacted to Rory. Maybe they think it is a risk because he is not so big at the States but in Europe he is still a legend. Be the first and you wont regret it...Songs like Philby, Moonchild, Bad Penny, Shadow Play, Wayward Child and many others are great rock-blues anthems. I am expecting.

I’m glad to see you enjoying TYA. I grew up in the 60’s-70’s, I knew of them but never really started listening until the 90’s. All those years lost but I got caught up. If i could recommend A Space in Time is one of my favorite albums.

Ten Years After, one of my all time favorite bands (and personal friends for over fifteen years). Little known fact regarding the Woodstock film, it was edited by legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese

Saw them live in Toronto before they went o Woodstock at a place called the Rockpile. Couldn't hear properly for a couple of days and I'm sure I damaged my hearing . Still listen their vinyl album Undead recorded live in England. Alvin Lee was one of a kind. So was the whole band.

Ladies & Gentlemen...the great Alvin Lee..

As always, beautiful! !

Amazing classic performance

Alvin Lee underrated singer and Guitarist R.I.P.

If memory service, Ten Years After preformed early in the morning when people were already worn out. Their music got everyone up and out dancing. Maybe I'm wrong.

I’m so glad that you listened to my advice to pay attention to this group!!! Love to see your face when you was listening!!!

The crowd? The crowd was half a Million people!!!!!! This was live at Woodstock!

ALVIN LEE la grande époque ! MAGISTRAL ......

One of two guitar players to show up Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock.

70's child here... this was our music. Plenty of talent in music today, but you would be hard pressed to compare anything created from 1970 to 1979 (6th grade to college for me). Love your style!

Ur 100% correct lady if bands dont give it their all & dont mean it then they shouldnt bother playin music.

I saw this video in the 80s and was a fan of Alvin Lee since. This is from Woodstock 1969.

Hi pink,check out mountain,Mississippi queen! That clip was ten years after from the Woodstock festival. Amazing band.lay down,by melanie was a song about Woodstock,and she also performed there as did mountain.

Ten Years After its so good, i love blues. See too “On the Road Again” by Canned Heat, the woodstock version, has a similar energy. But if you wanna something more funky, see Grand Funk Railroad playing “Inside Looking out” live 1969.

I just subscribed because I absolutely love your reactions and reviews ❤️ Keep up the great work!
