TEN YEARS AFTER - Love like a man REACTION - First time hearing Wanna help my channel? Donations welcome.Thanks..PAYPAL harribest2000@yahoo.co.uk #tenyearsafter #musicreactions #rockreaction
That bass part is just mind-blowingly awesome. All the various phases of it. I'd have to listen to it again to remember which way it goes, but there is a section before the whole thing really starts to jam out where he's got a sustained note each bar. And he does basically the equivalent of Grace note timing to either hit right before the downbeat with the rest of the band or right after it. But it's so fast, it's like a flam on the drums. The first time I heard it I kept thinking well they're actually a little bit sloppy in that section. Now I've heard it so many times and I know how good those guys are and I'm positive it's completely deliberate. I even imagine them having fun doing it, trying to see how close he can get it and still have it be slightly out. And this gets your mind attracted to that and then right when that section is over, he nails the downbeat and it's off to the races.
@@megamaniac7402 Absolutely! Song after song, album after album. 50,000 miles beneath my brain is from their album Cricklewood Green, which at the time was regarded as groundbreaking.
@@megamaniac7402 for contrast, listen to the bass guitar line in It's Getting Harder Babe, from their final album, Positive Vibrations. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vwoo0e5jrMw.html
Love their album A Space in Time. “Hard Monkeys”, “I’d Love to Change the World”, “Baby Won’t You Let Me Rock & Roll You”, so many great cuts, all worth a listen. ✌️❤️🎶
Nowadays Ten Years after and Alvin Lee are greatly underestimated. Thank you for your inspired comments and the fact that you introduce TYA to a bigger audience. TYA definitely is one of the greatest blues-rock bands we ever had. There is a lot more to discover and seeing Leo Lyons playing his bass is absolutely delicious.Plse. check the live performances on youtube and also "The nluest blues" by Alvin Lee. Great stuff! Greetings and blessings!
You nailed it. Alvin Lee was one of the greatest guitarist ever, never got the acknowledgement. So was Ten Years After, one of the best groups. It kills me that they never even put him in the top 100... Shame
I always loved Ten Years After. They were one of the best early heavy, fast hard rock blues bands that came out of England in the late 60’s. Then came Woodstock and I’m going home… Man, what sound, Alvin Lee tearing it up…
The B side of this is the live version which was played at 33 1/3 while the this the A side was played at 45. The B side of this single also was just black with NO title or notes. When we bought the single we really got a treat. Alvin Lee was the main drive, it was his band and the band had several different members along the way. Old rock and roll at its best.
man, you absolutely have to check out something even earlier than this from them. it's a live recording I think and if I remember reading about it it was in an underground Pub in London or something. but it was back when they're actually a little bit more jazz-based but still just crazy insane ferocity leading right into really hard blues rock within just a couple years after. but it just shows you the chops these guys have man it's unbelievable it is unbelievable and this is when they were probably a couple years at least younger than this recording and this recording I think is maybe a couple years before the other stuff you reacted to so far. I pretty much love every single one of their songs across many albums. you basically can't do any wrong. but they did evolve a lot as a band and so each album is really special.
@@briannewell6064 Yes! That's it. I had the vinyl for it when I was a kid but that was a long time ago. Actually had every single album of theirs on vinyl.
"Sugar the Road" please. They were my first concert in 1973. I stilll remember his guitar licks reverberating off of the walls of the Syracuse War Memorial Collisium! Great song! Thanks Harri!
@@michaellindon5538 my first time taking acid. Didn't really know what it was either. Humble Pie opened for them. Frampton was great. I often play " Rock On" which was the LP they were promoting. Of course Steve Marriott was terrific too.
@@michaellindon5538 saw Leon Russell in Rochester and the Stones in Rich Stadium. Also tried to see Clapton in Ruch Stadium too but he was too wasted and only did a couple songs before he staggered off the stage. Freddie King (?) finished the concert.
Another fantastic band out of England. This song was such a great treat. What a memory. "Spoonful" would be a great reaction. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
When I got my first pay packet in 1970, after paying my mum and bus fares I had just enough left to buy my first proper album, I’d narrowed it down to 2 - Deep Purple in Rock and Cricklewood Green which I bought on the strength of this track. The rest of the album was as good if not better, I waited a month before I could get DP in Rocki definitely made the right choice👍
Alvin Lee Lee was named "the Fastest guitarist in the West" in the 1970s, and considered the precursor of the shred-style playing that would develop in the 1980s. Superb guitar technique! And Leo Lyons was a hell of bass guitar player as well. Strongly recommend you to react to Ten Years After - I Can't Keep from Crying - 8/4/1975 - Winterland Concert (Official video clip) to watch and to enjoy again these two rock MONSTERS playing alive!!! Absolutely unmissable, and in my opinion, even better here than in Woodstock!
Check out 50,000 miles beneath my brain from that same album that this song was on, and you will hear some bass dominance Savage stuff like you've never heard before. Just the endurance. And yet they have been playing for years now and really hard for long periods of time. They were just monsters at it basically.
great review, love me some TYA. Alvin could play anything, and he did it all from writing to arranging and producing. He was fusion before fusion was a thing. Check out Gonna Run from the album Watt. Rolling Stone reviewed the album SSSSh... and said it was like hearing God.
I started listening to TYA in the 8th grade, 1969. Alvin Lee was the man. They put on a great show at Woodstock. Their performance there made them big stars.
I must admit I was a little dismissive of this first, assuming it was the same old boring white boy blue. But when the organ and guitar solo started I changed my mind :D Thanks for sharing this, had not heard it before.
Leo, Ric and Alvin obviously some of the best at what they do, but Chick Churchill ,the organist doesn’t get much attention. I love him for his simple understatedness. He is always there to support Alvin’s guitar. sometimes it seems to me, that Chick is the only one in the band without an outsized ego. ⚡️♥️⚡️
It was one of the first songs I learned on guitar (from a little weird friend) and the album "Ssssht" from T.Y.A. was my second vinyl record after "Get Yer Ya-Yas Out" by the Stones. Back then, Alvin Lee was the best guitarist for me. Thank you for rewinding my musical beginnings :-)) All the best @all from Hamburg (Germany)
You know I have loved this Riff since I was a teenager. I knew it was 10 years after..but didn't know what song or album! (It had been used in radio promos for his Seattle appearances) Thank You all, a mystery solved!
Hey yeah, hello Best! first time I have heard this song to. Has a nice acid-blues sound, a sound of their own, a very tasteful number and I liked it right off the bat. I always keep a watchful eye on your channel to see if you have any unknown songs to review. Keep up the good work, love your channel... Signed, Greg the Egg. PS. Here is a song by Creedence Clearwater Revival its off of the COSMOS FACTORY LP that you may want to check out, the first track on side A, 1. RAMBLE TAMBLE////posted time////7 minutes and 11 seconds, this song is really groovy. Thanks HarriBest Reactions.................
Haven’t seen the other 10YA you did but making a bet with myself the live was either “Good Morning Little School Girl” or “Goin Home” from Woodstock. Bit of which are insane. Liked that you liked this one too, you are right, a slower windup than usual but Alvin doesn’t disappoint. Stay safe in Florida!
Ten Years After --- STILL NOT IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!!! Just like about 40 other great bands of the past. Why are all those musicians being ignored?! "I'd Like to Change the World" is such an apt song for this situation.
Alvin Lee from 'Ten Years After' was a good friend of George Harrison and they did music together. Listen to 'The Bluest Blues' (probably the most beautiful blues song ever recorded). George Harrison plays a wonderful slide on it, and Alvin Lee's guitar solo is awesome: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rB6OlJqV1rQ.html And while you're at it, do listen to Lee and Harrison doing the Beatles song 'I Want You (She's So Heavy): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-owAENcn8ANI.html
At that time TYA was probably bigger than LED Z, and it was Jimi Page who was standing backstage trying to figure out how Alvin Lee played his licks, not the other way around. For that matter, while it is not so, your assumption would be the other way around instead.
