Always been one of my favourite live performances ... Alvin Lee was on FIRE.

@StarkRavenMad8 4 месяца назад

Just a few months after playing at Woodstock, Jimi Hendrix sat down for an interview with Cream Magazine and talked candidly about having played there. Hendrix said, "I felt like I played a good set at Woodstock considering I was playing with all new musicians almost." "I thought Carlos(Santana) & Johnny(Winter) guitars sounded strong during their sets too." "But of the 3 days worth of music that was played at Woodstock, no one outplayed Alvin Lee." "Alvin put on a guitar clinic for the ages during Ten Years After's set at Woodstock, and I really have a lot of respect for his ability and how easily he can pick up a guitar and play anything, be it rock, blues, jazz, or whatever." "They don't come any better than Alvin on a guitar." Those are the words of Jimi Hendrix taken from that interview with Cream Magazine published in January, 1970.

The energy, the freedom, the creativity, the spirit is all there. And musicianship! Great artists, great singers, great bands. Now you know why us older folk are so bored and resistant to today’s homogeneous, bland pop music. *THIS* is music. This is rock n roll!🔥🤙

This performance brought Alvin Lee to the attention of the American audience. He was absolutely phenomenal. I saw the band twice & they were superb. I have to add, that even though these Woodstock performances were great, it was pretty typical of the kind of shows these bands put on all the time. It was an incredible era for LIVE concert bands.

@kenennis6287 2 года назад

Ten Years After came to Duke University in 1971 with Yes as opening act. Didn't see them because I chose to go to Charlotte to see the Who. Don't regret that just wish they hadn't been on the same night. That was just how it was in those days. So many great bands at the height of their careers on the road

@davidlane180 Год назад

OK , you can hear it and it's great that you appreciate the performance . What non-guitarists will not appreciate is the way Alvin was playing. He was using his right hand that 'plucks' the strings in a style not unlike he was strumming, but strumming hard. Despite that all the individual notes in the riff are clear and precise. I've been playing 50 years and that was some incredible muting and accuracy.

@mariannemabie9274 2 года назад

Imagine looking out at a half million people watching and dancing and digging your music. That would have to put the energy level of his playing right off the chain. Though everything I’ve ever heard by Ten Years After sounded pretty much like this. I absolutely love the Woodstock Wednesday idea. Please keep it going. Love you guys.

Alvin Lee and Ten Years after would come into town often and my band mates would never miss a chance to see them. That was before Woodstock. They played the same way at a small concert venue as they did on the Woodstock video. They show a little bit of the bass player in this video. Seeing the bassist live was a show unto itself. The song going home was always there final of the night.

@michaelbriefs9764 Год назад

You guys HAVE TO listen to the album version of this song -- that is, the FULL version of this Woodstock performance!! The recording is 9:32 long and it includes a ton more vocal riffing and guitar work! It's totally fun and crazy...Alvin Lee riffs out so many hit 50's songs (like "Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On" by Jerry Lee Lewis, for instance) and the performance is so much more than this video can capture! Check it out!

@jackforness1972 2 года назад

@vicprovost2561 2 года назад

Ten Years after was awesome, Alvin Lee was a speed king back in the day but had much more than speed in his bag of tricks. They have many great songs but start with The timeless classic, I'd Love to Change the World. Also One of These Days, You Give Me Loving, Religion and Standing at the Station. They will rock your world, they have for me for over 50 years now. Enjoy! 🎸

@arthurblackhistoric Год назад

We'd been surfing all weekend and stopped in on our way home at a cinema that was showing the Woodstock movie. I actually fell asleep during the Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young segment . . . only to be woken up with a jolt when Ten Years After started playing I'm Going Home. I'd never heard guitar playing that fast in my life!! And that the band kept up that pace for 12 minutes was absolutely incredible. You young people obviously don't really understand what you were seeing and hearing. Alvin Lee, that guitarist, made the leap from man to legend while we watched that song unfold. That world had not seen his like previously to Ten Years After's performance at Woodstock. Far and away the best guitarist at the whole festival, he somehow still never got the acclaim that was justifiably due him. His detractors, none of whom could play anywhere close to Alvin's level of speed and accuracy, decried him for having no feel, for sacrificing feel for speed, for having no soul, etc, etc. I'm here to say right now that it was all hogwash!! He was one of the all-time greatest Blues-Rock guitarists the world has ever known. Thanks for posting this.

He was a total prodigy. As a kid when they didn't let him bring a guitar to school, he brought in a guitar neck in his book bag and practiced fingering chords under the desk, they say. He lived down the road from George Harrison; they were friends; both knew who the real guitar expert was. One of his best tracks is "I can't keep from crying" live and Winterland 1975. His finger dexterity is God given, like those who take to typing 120 words a minute without mistakes.

It was a late night audience of stoners, so the atmosphere had been pretty chill. People got up and danced in the aisles when this song started.

From Richie Havens to Jimi playing the Star Spangled Banner to the small crowd at the end, I was hooked on the blues and Rock and Roll. I felt the identical electricity you felt as a pimple faced punk in Indiana. That electricity you felt is what Rock and Blues are all about. To see you guys with my same joy made me emotional. There were so many great performances at Woodstock but “I’m going Home” was pure kick add blues rock. But i also loved Santana playing Soul Sacrifice and the incredible “Dance to the Music” by Sly and the Family Stone. I urge you guys to check those out. You did comment about Alvin Lee being an extension of his guitar but that was not unique to Woodstock. Blues and rock performers are totally into the music and the performance. I saw the Stevie Ray Vaughn image in your wall so obviously you know him but I also invite you to check out Joe Bonamassa and Robert Randolph and the Family Band , the Brian Setzer Orchestra. Hell I could go in for hours. But you find the key to the knowledge of the Universe so aptly put by Muddy Waters: “The Blues had a baby and they named in Rock and Roll” Great job guys. You gave this old dude joy to see your joy.

This was one of several performances by bands that played Woodstock that helped bring them a much wider audience after people saw them rock out in the movie. But I gotta tell ya, this is just a fraction of his performance of this song in the original movie. You missed out on about 5 to 6 minutes of him doing a medley of classic 1950's rock and roll songs that influenced him. So you're comment about his Elvis moment was spot on. He also takes the music way down to almost a whisper before the big explosive ending which adds even more impact. Track down the complete song from the movie with the triple camera shots to get the full impact. Then do us a reaction of Ten Years After doing I Want To Change The World, or One of These Days off their LP A Space in Time.

Yes, this part unfortunately is missing. "..........One for the money, two for the show, better get ready, now go cat go. Don 't you step on my blue suede shoes. You can do anything but stay off my blue suede shoes................." By far the very best live performance of a piece of music I heard/saw since I saw the Woodstock movie, I guess it was in 1972.

Although this was an edited version, it did show the greatness of Alvin Lee. For a different take on him, try “The Bluest Blues”, I think you will like it!

@bradandhisbass3008 Год назад

I saw the Alvin Lee Band at the Montreal Forum in 1980. At one point he broke a string and let the Bass player do a ten minute bass solo and then jumped back in without missing a beat. I have never heard such a loud and joyous standing ovation in my life and they were not even the main act. They did this song probably even longer and that energy stayed in that building for many years after.

@thecliffdweller1212 2 года назад

1969 was my senior year in high school. Stop and imagine that. We heard about Woodstock on the radio and saw some of the acts on TV afterword. Some performances like Janis Joplin and Richie Havens were released as singles and were getting airplay. But the BIG EVENT locally in 1970 was the film release of the music documentary (first of its kind) in the theaters: Woodstock (the movie) I made this the occasion my first grown up date. My date as a sweat girl whom I had recently accompanied, at the request of her family, to the military funeral of her older brother who had been killed in a helicopter crash in Vietnam. Her brother Mike and I had played on the same little league team. In another video you mentioned Country Joe and the Fish and the Feelin' Like I'm'a Fixin' To Die Rag. You can imagine sitting next to my date, sister of a dead soldier whom we had just buried, and me with my draft card already in my wallet. That was my first grown up date. Sally married the son of a produce supplier in northern Indiana. I later enlisted in the US Coast Guard rather than go to Canada or to hide out on the hashish trail to Nepal.

@paulamelnyk986 2 года назад

Remember seeing the debut of the movie in my home city. People were singing and dancing in their seats and in the aisles. It was pandemonium and we loved it. All of us wished thatwe had been at Woodstock on that very special weekend.

@drewg5637 2 года назад

The song is actually much longer. Alvin Lee was known as the fastest fingers in rock. At the time of this song, Woodstock was in a weather break for a few hours because the promoters were of afraid of electrocuting the performers. TYA was the first band to play and this was the first song they played.

@gotham61 2 года назад

This was their encore. The full set was: Spoonful, Good Morning Little Schoolgirl, Hobbit, I Can't Keep from Crying Sometimes, Help Me, I'm Going Home. The rain storm was earlier on Sunday during daylight hours, in between Joe Cocker and Country Joe and the Fish. You're correct that this edit cuts out about half of the song.

@notedrockhistorian4382 2 года назад

A few points: 1.) Because Amber did background research on the Woodstock topic prior to reactions sets her apart from other reactors on RU-vid in a big way. I would encourage them to study the historical context of other songs as well, not just Woodstock material. 2.) Yes, the performances were extra loose and free. No light shows, choreography, just music. No advertising except for the Portapotty service. Playing in front of 300,000 people brings out the unpredictable in artists. Okay, Sha Na Na had some choreography and wardrobe. 3.) You discovered an exceptional underrated guitarist from the era.

Yes, the "I have no idea what I'm looking at" shtick gets a little old. At least have an idea of what you're going to listen to. Remember, it's not just us old farts going, "Good. They like our music. Old schools is best school." Reactors such as Rob Squad are introducing youngsters to the great music too. Better that they know something about it.

@notedrockhistorian4382 2 года назад

@@iDuckman Agreed. If they learn about Woodstock, they will likely learn about VietNam, Watergate and why we are in the situation we are in now. I'm all for exposing younger people to what was going on with popular music and why we heard what we heard back then. Beatles, MTV, parasitic music industry, internet are all factors.

Probably the greatest guitarist of the entire classic rock era that no one sadly ever seems to talk about. Alvin Lee was pure lightning in his fingertips and pure ability in his approach. He carried the same 3 nicknames his entire career for a reason, I.E., Captain Speedfingers, Fastest Guitar in the West, and my personal favorite the Man Who Played Faster Than His Shadow. Note: You guys used a horribly cut to shreds video uploaded on RU-vid. The entire performance can be found at this link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2YB7qyn5MVs.html Even if you don't do another reaction to the entire performance, which IMO you should, at least watch the entire performance and treat yourselves to one of rock's legendary bands giving an epic performance!!

I saw 10 Years After in 1974 at the San Francisco Cow Palace. This is how he performed, every time! Not many have heard of Alvin Lee but he was one of the best rock/blues guitarists of all time. Thanks for doing this! Brings back a great memory of a night in San Francisco with his guitar vibrating through every cell of my body.
