Ten Years Later - Hey Joe - 5/19/1978 - Winterland (Official) 

Couldn't agree more. Asked about effects and pedals He said "I'm a curly lead into the amp guy". It was all about playing and he sure could.

Hard to argue with that.

Absolutely the best of the best. A little animation here being he was a little tipsy. But by far still the greatest shredder ever picked

@@panamamcbee8165 Alvin was shredding before shredding was a thing.

@GBeret83 Exactly right. I bought Ten Years After's album "Sshh" just for the cover artwork. And I was knocked on my ass! Then I saw his "I'm Going Home" at Woodstock (this was back in 1970 while I was in the army). Watching these Winterland concerts was the first time I saw anyone use the mike stand for a "noise" source. And of course, those Marshall amps are just plain unreal. Jimi knew how to get them to cry, and Alvin did too.

Yes he was.

Nr 2

@Mark Curtis, big fan of Leo Lyons also, but this isn't Leo in this video. By the time this was recorded in 1978, Alvin had already split with the original line-up of Ten Years After with Leo Lyons on bass, Ric Lee on drums and Chic Churchill on keyboards. He reformed the group calling it "Ten Years Later" with Mick Hawksworth on bass(double neck bass here) and Tom Compton on drums. Compton would also, around later become a drummer for Johnny Winter for awhile too. Around 82' or 83' if memory serves, but I'm not 100% certain of the year he got with Johnny Winter?

Karin Freitag Renate Hörmann Hallo, Karin, ich habe es mir gerade angehört und bin begeistert!!! Allvin Lee ist ein guter Musiker und sieht sehr gut aus, finde ich!!!! Grüße aus Wien Renate Hörmann ☮️👆👌

steve elliot my book says your trippin

+steve elliot lol i love alvin lee but jimi is jimi!

+steve elliot im agree.. alvin is more in electric guitar thatn jimi and jimi is beter in the acustic beacuse his the best on acustic style his a monster.. but i think alvin has more ability and speed on the electric than jimi..

When Jimi was asked whats it like being the greatest Guitarist in the world he replied with ''I don't know ask Alvin Lee''. FACT

And Jimi knew it. Jimi did things different but Alvin was the best Blues/Rock guitarist. Ok maybe Johnny Winters could hang with him.

I lived up the street on Steiner just off California, I would walk down. I had a one bedroom for 125.00 a month.. dont think that happens anymore either
