Ten years after - I`m going home REACTION/REVIEW 

Not a cover, Brother Biz, it was written by Alvin Lee. The reason he said "I'm Going Home...by helicopter," is that the only way for the artists to get to and from the venue at Woodstock was by helicopter. Definitely NOT sped up, Alvin lee was widely recognized as the fastest guitar player in rock at the time. Shortened version, the original was over 11 minutes.

They didn't speed it up. Alvin Lee legitimately played that fast and the band could hang with him. Try their song I'd Love To Change The World.

Alvin Lee...A rock and blues legend. You check out him singing "The Bluest Blues." You won't regret it.

yes, that is the speed they were playing. The CD Ten Years After Undead is blistering. No tricks here, they gave it up.

Ten Years After to me is one of the few bands who are often better live than in the studio. Plus in the live version you can see all the trickery Alvin pulls off which is a joy to watch.

my guitar hero, Alvin Lee! Thanks for the react ⚡️♥️🎸♥️⚡️

This was edited version of a live show. Alvin was the guitar man. So much more goodness. Try, Love like a man, good morning little,school girl, I can't keep from crying. Just a few goodies. He did have a band Ten years later, which I saw him live. Alvin never made a bad tune. RIP Alvin Lee

Love Alvin Lee!! What a talent 🎸🎤🔥

No Biz..this was not speeded up..Alvin Lee ( RIP 2013) happens to be was one of the greatest axe men of all time..This was performed at Woodstock, but this is the abbreviated version..

Thanks Biz, very few react to this great band. You can't go wrong with Ten Years After or Alvin Lee.

That was how they actually played. At Woodstock in August. Definitely wasn't cold, but it had been raining really hard. Awesome performance from these guys, and Alvin Lee is a beast on the guitar.

They called him captain speed fingers.. I had the pleasure of seeing him love at Winterland in SF.. He is so fast I could see trials on his fingers.. And I wasn't even high..He is AWESOME..

That's one of the PRIEMERE guitarists EVER! Jazz, Blues, & BIG ROCK! The dude tore it up!

Legendary performance from Woodstock ☮️💟

It was not sped up it was said that Alvin Lee had the fastest fingers at Woodstock and considering the bands that were there that is saying something.

It's not a cover, Biz. This is from Woodstock and Alvin Lee tells the huge crowd "This is a thing called I'm Going Home" and then jokingly adds "by helicopter." Much like Hendrix stole the show at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, that's what Ten Years After did at 1969's Woodstock Festival. The resulting film of the concert made them household names. The film makers might have sped up the film, it's possible. Two favorites, both high speed rockers are "Bad Scene", and "Baby, Won't You Let Me Rock and Roll You."

Your on fire your hitting all my playlist favorites? Your blessed.

He is one of the greatest guitar players of all time. Angus young probably took some lessons from him. Uncanny play style.

If you like guitar work from that era live, give a listen to Johnny Winter And...Live, specifically Mean Town Blues....I wish he and Alvin Lee had done some music together!

Alvin Lee was not one to hold back. When he wanted to go, he went. I saw him live in the 80's in the Alvin Lee Band with Mick Taylor. This was an edited version of "I'm Going Home" from the Woodstock performance which was around 10 minutes long.

From my hometown Nottingham UK.❤BB. King said when heard Alvin play,it made him sweat!😊

That’s the shortened version of the 11 plus minute Woodstock performance

Hell yeah !!!! Now you rockin' Biz! Alvin Lee was him!! RIP!

To really appreciate it, the complete version from the Woodstock album was phenomenal.

This is live from Woodstock I think but edited to shorten it substantially. On rainy days at our cottage, I'd put on the 11 minute version and tell my kids (now adults) they had to dance in time to the fastest beat they could identify. Naps quickly followed 😅😅

That's the speed, that's Alvin Lee just a brutal guitarist, plays with heart and Fire. But you missed the ending when he drops the guitar and takes up a watermelon and carries it off stage

Smokin'! Great selection! We always party to this.

Nope, not sped up! Probably the best guitarist you never heard of!!!! 10 Years After was a great band. Showing a different side to their talent.... You might want to listen to "I'd like To Change The World " studio version. Enjoy!

After their Woodstock set TYA took off in popularity. When a reporter asked bass player Leo Lyons what it felt like to be an overnight sensation Leo replied" Not too bad, it only took us eight years".

A warm welcome for Ten Years After. Woodstock Legendary ✌️🪴🌄420

Alvin Lee reminds me of Jerry Lee Lewis the way he performs he's got superhuman energy ⚡ Total beast on the guitar too. Mad respect to his skills. This is an all-girl group who was very popular in the 60's. They opened for the Beatles on their 1966 US Tour, becoming the only girl group to tour with them. "The Ronettes -Be My Baby/Colorized (1964) 4K"

Saw this at the Galaxy Drive In, Warren Michigan, summer 1970. Four 15 year olds tearing up Hugh Calloway’s car. Rock and Roll.

Real time live at Woodstock. ... legendary !!

Alvin was the sonic equivalent of Concord! R.I.P.

I'm so glad you shot it out the bass guitar! He just wails on it. And they're all so good. And while this one is balls-to-the-wall in yeah, no it was not sped up, laugh. They can do that stuff for literally hours. But they also have some that are more pulled back and with a great group to them. Like Once There Was A Time, from their fantastic A Space in Time album.

The show was in the middle of August, so the breath was from high humidity, not cold.

One song by them that's really interesting is "Standing At The Station" - A song like a train. Try it some time - even in your own time. You'll enjoy it!

Saw them at Woodstock. Amazing brings back memories. At night it was 54° to 64 °.

Iwas there and they were playing that fast!

Ten Years After are a British blues rock band from the 60s-70s. They had some great songs such as "I'd Love To Change The World", "Hear Me Calling", "Love Like A Man" etc.

R.I.P. Alvin.

I could never relate. Sad unfortunately but ure still picking great music Biz. I always come to u first. R&R for sure thank u for that!

Thanks Biz!

Great review ! I was lucky enough to see Alvin Lee in the early 80"s .At an old movie theater in Worcester Massachusetts, opened the show with Jimi Hendrix's Hey Joe ! Great review !

LegendaBiz . More , please .

One of the first tracks imprinted on my mind and soul, it was on a 'mixtape' my father gave me in the time i lived with my mother Ah too bad its one of the many cut up versions of that performance

Rock/blues guitar players? Alvin Lee is the real thing! My favorite was always “Undisputed King of the Blues”….”Choo Choo Mama” ain’t bad either!

Alvin is one of the best!

Watt is their best album and "i'm comin on" and "My baby left me" are for me the best of this group

It wasn't sped up. That's the actual performance. 😀

I don't remember driving home to this, drunk, at all. Ever I promise.

Biz, please also do the Un-Cut version of this. I will hit you up some $$$.

Do WOODCHOPPER'S BALL!

Just wait until you check out I Can't Keep From Crying , live in 1974 !! And no , that was the speed of the song !

Why live music will never die. RIP. The man/band that stole Woodstock. Wicked.

speed freakin at it's finest Biz

One of the baddest men to ever pick up a guitar!!

This was the best performance at Woodstock. Alvin Lee is awesome! Also, this is the short version.

Alvin Lee (the guitarist) nickname was "Mr. Speed"

Good Morning Little School Girl 🔥🔥🔥

The version on their live album was even better. That was the speed they played the song, it’s just the video quality that made it look otherwise.

Genio Alvin !!!! R.I.P.

Do Alvins Bluest blues, George Harrison does a superb slide solo befoe Alvin does his killer solo

Remember origionally Chuck Berry had this style doing his Duck Walk but Alvin here could stop on a Dime then take off on a postage stamp ! Full Speed ahead Warp Speed scotty

Guitar needed a cigarette after that banging 😮

No, they were not sped up & you’re lacking at least half the actual performance which was 11 -12 minutes long. I was lucky enough to see TYA 3 times in my lifetime & they always brought it 100%!!! Rocked the place apart!!! They are my absolute all time favorite band & I’m thrilled they’re getting some recognition, Alvin should always be mentioned amongst the best of the guitarists!! I’ll add that I cried like a baby when he passed & when I pass I plan on being front & center at his concerts in Heaven!!! Listen to Choo Choo Mama & if you’re not inspired to get up and dance I don’t want to know you. There’s so many songs to list but I’ll start there.

check out "The Bluest Blues" featuring Alvin Lee (10 years after) and George Harrison

They started in 66.

Alvin in Full Tilt Boogie Mode right there! hard to say there may have been speed involved but that is the tempo of the song.........

This is from Woodstock

That was taken from Woodstock 1969 another song you might like is Id'e Love To Change The World....

This is Woodstock

That was at Woodstock

This just raw music

right speed but cut short by half the song missing

I saw TYA many times in the 70's.....that was normal for Alvin Lee.

This was not sped up. Musicians could actually play real instruments back then.

Damn. Go on home then

Nothing to say. Everyone beat me to it and are right on time.

Nice reaction. Try Ten Years After, Woodchoppers Ball.

Song "One of These Days"

The great, late Alvin Lee stealing the show at Woodstock Festival. In the late 60's-early 70's, there were so many truly superior British blues/rock bands and performers, that sadly some of the lesser knowns have fallen through the crack. Besides Zeppelin & Stones, other greats include Who, Humble Pie, 10 Years After ,Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, John Mayall, Savoy Brown, Jeff Beck Group, Faces. Who else, I know I'm forgetting some one.... My favorite Alvin Lee song is "Bluest Blues" - sublime....

Alvin Lee probably had the inspiration of a heavy dose of LSD and that's Woodstock 500,000 people

Not sped up, Alvin Lee was just lightning fast

This is the edited version. There is a whole bunch that has been cut out of the video. Watch the Whole Woodstock Movie to see the complete song. This is good but not the whole song as they did it in 1969 at at the festival.

This was not sped up; this is a heavily edited video -- watch the entire video of this performance...

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Sped up? Only if that means the musicians took a lot of speed! 😉

This was at Woodstock wasn't it?

This has been edited and very poorly I might add. Their performance in the film goes on much longer. This edited version ruins the continuity of the performance.

That's the speed. This is live and not sped up. Alvin Lee was that good.

Try wood choppers ball.

That’s the very short version.

Too short ! Long version is 🔥

Was not sped up. Live and they haevother videos of same song out rhere.

Fastest fingers in the west.

I am pretty sure you already reacted to 'i'd love to change the world". A track by track review of the rest of the "a space in time" album is well worth it, great album.

The only way that they sped that up is with some little pills.

This performance, as well as Grand Funk's "Inside Looking Out", is on the Mt. Rushmore of live performances by a rock band.

This is the short version.
