[p71josh]

My Dad used to play this all the time on VHS when I was a kid, miss you Dad!!

[Trower22]

Alvin Lee is one of the greatest guitarist off all time!

[teerakito]

Alvin Lee was a turbo guitarist if there was ever one....the last 2 or 3 minutes are pure adrenaline rush!!!!!

[pikumd]

Edinson Cavani - haha

[laverne899]

Fucking Alvin Lee stills raises my blood pressure at 61. Back in the 60's I was totally in love with Alvin and his guitar! Where he went?...wish i knew, but he still rocks my world!!!!!

[harblues66]

@alvinleefan totaly love alvin thanx

[alvinleefan]

@harblues66 --- my pleasure. I only recently rediscovered Alvin. and i have been all Alvin Lee all day and all night. So much cool music to catch up on. (not to mention his overwhelming sex appeal). It is a sheer delight and an incredible ride.

[wolfkarel]

4 peoples baby went home.......without them! ;-)

[alvinleefan]

EPIC. Alvin Lee is a wicked genius.

[TheAugie7]

One wild FUCKING GUITAR dude he is one of the best beside JIMMI HENDRIX

John Augustyniak

[luchpockets]

Epic !

[radcam69]

I always tell my son never to show up to a gig with a new looking guitar. "make sure it looks like Alvin Lee stomped it's guts out".

[rodrigoarteaga0067]

Una de las mejores malditas bandas de todos los tiempos!!

[DwainDwight]

[parrishkahn]

I thought i was so cool at 14 with my alphie on groovin to Ten Years After.Alvin Lee is and was a very learned, knowledgeable and much touted guitarist and for good reason. I wish I could play the electric guitar like him. God Bless Alvin Lee and his band members. --bzzzzmeister--

[TheChinared8]

To get a louder sound, turn it up to 11.

[cstakolich]

I don't even have a clever youtube comment joke... Alvin Lees a fucking beast

[keurzion]

amazing live :)

[Bloefeld2002]

And they call Clapton 'Slow Hand"

[gordazacatitos]

I got lucky. Went to see TYA in Long Beach around 79 I think it was. no tickets. Nuthin. I got in. I ended up 1st row. Right in front of Alvin Lee. I have no idea how I got down there. But I was leaning up against the stage right in front of Lee when he played this. He tossed m his pick. I reached for it, it bounced out of the palm of my hand. There were so many people scrambling for it, I didn't even try. Lee just looked at me and shook his head. sad, but true. But I'll tell you what,unreal!

[axlslash808z]

YEAH, and on top of Alvin Lee rockin it, you got mr bass man destroying.

[HippyD]

Exactly 20 years before I was born. Shit.

[TexRitters]

Incredible! always loved this performance. Remember dancing like a nutter with my mates for full 11 odd minutes and then collapsing. How can anyone dislike this, 4 people have opinions and assholes but little else.

From an any and all music lover.

[BeatlesExaminer]

One of my favorite parts of this movie.

[axlslash808z]

Thumbs up for the banshee sceams! Gosh this was music in its prime.

[stevevalerocks]

I was 14 when this shit was goin down! no wonder I ended up singin in rock band by the time I was 20

[WPSPUR]

Incomparable.. makes me smile so much whenever feeling a bit p***ed off.

[1958fanman]

how many ppl who comment on this video was alive, I was 11 and remember woodstock

[adrianherbert]

@1958fanman I was a little older @ 17 Always been a HUGE Fan of TYA & they are still going strong today, Alvin still plays extremely well & looks half his age, a really Amazing guy.

[beardog22215]

Anyone who knows rock would have to put this up in the top ten greatest rock songs ever and I don't mean that top 100 crap who someone no one knows votes for every year, I mean ROCK, real Rock.

[gmj2012]

My fave of all his songs & performances ;) This is the full performance video too, thanks for the upload of this one. Awesome :)

[solidisneit]

genial temazo...uffffffffffff que recuerdos

[10kventures]

Man this is as good as it get's ... Just like the day I first heard it back in 69..rock and roll the way it is supposed to be.

[45soulvinyl]

About 6/7 minutes too long

[WPSPUR]

@45soulvinyl Yeah... so right..  good grief..

[FuckStaub]

@45soulvinyl NOT

[eleazarrojasvelandia]

que musica tan espectacular tiempos pasados idos y que no volveran

[tommyrjensen]

With better material TYA would be less forgotten by now.

[640down]

There are actually 3 people who don't like this??? All 3 can go back under their rock now.

[Trower22]

Excellent cet Alvin Lee!

[1978domy]

que banda fantastica!!!!!!!! no la conocia ,realmente hacen musica

[ThePecosita1]

magnifica cancion y la guitarra expectacular.

[aml3961]

how the FUCK could anyone NOT like this ???!!!

[640down]

@aml3961 I agree completely! W T F! Real rock ole pal!

[MrMikeSense]

Alvin Lee and his band Ten Years After were one of the top hit bands on the The Festival of WoodStock, together together with the Fest will remain remarkable 4-ever.

[walterwalltoo]

Absolutely extraordinary. Saw Alvin with his new band in Genova in July. Set the place alight. imho he's better than ever.

[AlAinJinn]

cool music, like it

greetings from arabia

[TiptonChuck]

Happy Birthday Alvin! What a great performance.

[JohnsFavRockers]

@IdaGno ...some would argue with that, putting Hendrix's wake up call 8/15/69, can you imagine, getting a top bill, at the top concert, ya come on stage, and the crowd had shrunk by...at least...80%, looks like the remaining crowd could fit in LB Arena!! I wonder if THAT crowd felt like I did, listening to Frank Marino & MR taking stage at Ontario Motor Speedway...or...was it Devore...got any Alvin Lee/Frank Marino duo's?

[mikegbb]

Well it ain't disco or hip hop so what do you know?

[1m2a3t4t5]

Not very good are they?

(no sarcasm intendend)

[pipsqueek14]

@1m2a3t4t5 they are fucking good. they only had some problems at woodstock. like guitars that go out of tune every minute.

[ZephyrOrDie]

My speakers are all the way up and its still not loud enough.

[psychosomaiasis]

@ZephyrOrDie DID YOU CHECK TO MAKE SURE IT IS TURNED UP TO 11, CAUSE THAT'S HIGHER THAN 10!

[15chipshops]

One of the All-Time Great Tunes!

Apparently while recording this the Drum Microphone broke so they had to add alternative Drums to the track later. Corky Laing (of Mountain) was Commissioned to do the job so the drumming you hear is not by Ric Lee of Ten Years After.

[able506]

bassist is either on speed or really into the music or both

[meshuggahismylife]

That bass dude is jammin hardcore man

[manolosolo53]

Rolling Stone Magazine never put him in the list of the 100 better guitar man in Rock & Roll history , with this performance nobody can denied he is one of the best .

[jackhubbs54]

Alvin is the best and this version is the best because it has the watermellon.

[TheJackiemickie]

@jackhubbs54 The watermellon always completes it, and that is one famous watermellon.

[Lpmgato1]

At age 62, I grew up in the '60s, listening to the great guitarists of that era, and into the '70s. All of the legendary players were great, but none better, in my view, than Alvin Lee. Ten Years After was as passionate, intense, on stage, as any band I've ever heard. Regretfully, Alvin Lee and his awesome band, did not get the recognition they deserved. Alvin Lee once said the problem was producing a commericial album. I'm always awed by Alvin Lee, live. Incredible energy! Thanks for this.

[tonytrailmixx]

No matter how many times I watch this video its always just ad amazing as the first. God how I love the golden piece of footage. You can just see the love for the music in Alvin Lee's face. I remember my dad showing this to me on VHS when I was just a small child

[oplatzis]

@tonytrailmixx My dad too, man...On VHS. I was about 9 years old. I keep listening to this all the time. Pure energy.

[cstakolich]

I could listen to this every single day for the rest of my life.

[mujercita1000]

@cstakolich -- I do listen to it every single day. Ok, honestly, I listen to it at least 5 times a day and when I am away from the computer, I find myself craving more Alvin. OMG.

[spacepatrolman]

@cstakolich TYA plays straight ahead ball you music

[DocMEDICK]

Like to see the so called artists today play this piece, Alvin showed us all how to play.

[jtparts100]

best performance of woodstock

[cstakolich]

the bass player looks so fucking happy i love him

[ThePosiamus]

Once was so blue, that I kept on dancing to this music over and over again with the volume to worp 7, until I was so exhausted that I almost got sick...than felt better...thanx Alvin

[david1daryl]

Unbelieveable band of the 60s, wear is Alvin Lee now?

[Marc2b4]

The boy can play. I met him in Germany when I was stationed there during the mid 80s. Great guy.

[mikegbb]

Santana country Joe richie havens good stuff. My grateful dead must have been totally f up.

[SPProduction02]

Damn... 42 years....

[mikegbb]

They were blowing smoke in august in the catskills,shows you what a crappy weather weekend it was.

[gaiaschilddk]

when did the music die ..............thank heaven for wolfmother and acdc only thing left withe a soundwall would have loved to be at woodstock the bear, teen ,jimmy,jefferson, crist i was born just acouple of decs to late love this

[iguesssoperhaps]

I listen to this song all the time. Even though he (Alvin) recorded mostly the blues, ""I'm going home" at Woodstock is the best performance ever of anybody. He tops Janis and Jimi at Woodstock, even though they were perfect.

[mikegbb]

I was right under the stage girls were dancing topless,what a scene. It was the last night and at 13 yrs of age I had to walk/hitch home. Great performance.

[l2string]

Love that face @9:45. Just great. Here click on @9:40 so you can scroll back up and watch.

[milos513]

extraa

[wikkid61]

Angus Young needs to thank Alvin Lee.

[jgworkstation]

No shit! Good call.

[jd285]

Alvin Lee, more greatness from back in the day! No comparison to today's music!!!

[sunnijo56]

[MichaelIanHenry]

[serioussam40]

NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL GODDAMNED FUCKING REAL MUSIC!!!

[kaasboermars]

Can you believe this..you 1990 generation?...NO COMPUTER!

Real HUMAN Music...!

[mrmanoli]

Hard to believe that this is from 1969,on stage live.Best guitar is last 2 min's of song.

[juliothesigner]

Man!!!! the original version!! this rocks!

[LydonLovesButter]

@BuckeyeInNC It's Ms.Butter, sir. :)

But yes I had two copies of the Woodstock soundtrack on vinyl and your contention is true. The Sly and the Family Stone performance blew me away, especially when he gets the crowd to put up their peace signs and scream "HIIGHER!".

This, Sly, Jimi, and Santana are my favorite Woodstock performances. I have Jimi's "Band of Gypsys" Woodstock show on DVD. I've ravished it many times. <3

[LydonLovesButter]

This. Fucking. Kills. <3

[BuckeyeInNC]

@LydonLovesButter all these years i have only heard the original soundtrack/movie version...this has like 30-45 maybe 60 seconds more? is that true anyone? ....you cannot say it any better mr. butter , it kills, and has since the movie/soundtrack was released it was always my personal fave followed by Sly's contribution to the movie/soundtrack...mr. stone and mr. lee they both killed at woodstock....

[tonywilk57]

One of the forgotten great guitar players of all time. Got me energy in his little finger than all these modern so called pop bands

[otheflimflam]

@tonywilk57 So true! How many guitarists from the past 40 years would play a lead guitar without some electronic device that make them sound faster than they really are?

[n3ghx]

@tonywilk57

great stuff that i haven't heard in years. anybody out there got 'boogie on' they can post?

[MrFenderteleplus]

now this is rock n roll

[Flagellator1974]

Malmsteen can go to hell

[Flagellator1974]

thank you for this colossal upload bro!!!!!
