[stomp919]

This is beyond bad ass! If i was a high schooler today this would be blasting out of my car stereo not chick music or rap. Get real motherfuckers!

[neilembo55]

Have loved this since I was 12 years old,and had a 3 lp album of the best of the 70s rock concerts

[shawshawn94]

looks strainge him not play Big Red

[neilembo55]

Just wicked seeing it live after listening to it for 35 years wild

[MrStratoManu]

Como me hubiera gustado tener 20 años en los 70 para ir a ver a estos weyes....

[digaoomelhor]

Impressionante o Alvin Lee... ainda não vi alguém fazer isso!!

[sandrogin1]

grat alvin lee

[charlessavarese]

No Deep Purple, but a good band.

[sirwob]

@charlessavarese I love Ritchie Blackmore but Alvin Lee blow's him away

[83169]

@sirwob Nope. :)

[DYNODRUM]

"Peter Gun Riff" at 2:12 -way cool and before it was even a blink of a Thought . Great Band ,Hands Down . "When the Musics Over Turn out the Lights"...

[Baggs4299]

0:13 Steppin' Out....James Bracken Blues Breakers & Cream.

0:25 cat squrrel ......Doctor Ross

0:33 Smokestack Lightnin' ....Howlin Wolf

[bulletbreedband]

Not that it all didn't rock, but @ 3:00 totally hit the peak!!! I'm surprised the hippies all doped up could keep up with this acid rock! (LOL) Alvin and the boys were a head of their time. Remember my Dad getting me into "A space in time" and I still listen to that album, or cd now and again when I wanna hear a real guitarist.

~jeff

[spacepatrolman]

@bulletbreedband now its time to play name that tune you dont love me 0:04 ? 0:13 cats squirill 0:25 suzy q 0:35 unknown straight ahead ball you music 0:59 peter gunn 2:14

[MrThejazzter]

I was fortunate enough to work with drummer Ric Lee - he taught drums in my school and guest solo'd with the Peak District Jazz Orchestra when I directed them. The band (TYA) was still touring without Alvin but Ric was touring his band memoirs. Nice chap (and his wife Alice was lovely too!) - Great rock & roll!!

[TwoPointsUp]

Lots of Marshalls, definitly..He used to go into Jim Marshall's shop, try 'em out and pick out his favorites..Usually he would use one 100 watt head with 4 speaker cabs, or 16 speakers, to avoid speaker distortion (he prefered amplifier distortion only..) Also, heavy bass strings and light strings on the top 3 for easy solos and bending..

[TheHabit00]

look at all those marshalls

dam is that alvin lee? i had no idea he jammed that good! ahead of his time for sure, sick chops

[TheHabit00]

look at all those marshalls

[tralfazyech]

Great post! Thanks for the Ten Years After memory!!

[soulrebelroots]

GUITARIST MOST FASTEST OF ALL TIMES

[journey46]

:27 this is the same riff used by Stephen Stills on Carry On by CSN.

[kurtizzyflush]

@journey46 ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzz.............

[TimBirkenholz]

the licks at the beginning from You Dont Love Me and Steppin Out. Awesome

[agubser07]

@TimBirkenholz What is the lick after Steppin' Out at 0:23 and before Smokestack Lightning?

[TimBirkenholz]

@agubser07 hmm I have now idea. PLz tell me if you know whaha

[Bluesman681]

@agubser07 Cat's Squirrel

[m0ck0]

@agubser07 cat's squirrel from cream. or they picked up from the same place

[tommyau2006]

I honestly think that Alvin Lee would have to one of the ten top guitarists ever.

[PsychedelicPrimate]

Did anybody else notice the ELP piano?

[Django5198]

I'm gonna sue Rolling Stone for not including Lee on their list of the top 100

[rghoyos]

Is this performance from a dvd? isle of wight 1970?

[witchman67]

@rghoyos yes.

[ojosdeRayosX]

a 4 personas no les gusto? ja q mal gusto tendran

[garycamera]

Gotta love it.

[MegaNankerphelge]

when he tunes down the guitar... and the people groovin... good stuff

[markm201]

wow, alvin,the worlds best and most underated guitarist of all time,

[syscomvzla]

Alvin lee was ranked as the most speed guitar man at 70's

[morockstation]

記録映画の前座役が、この映画のメタファだったとは、、

[bestillstudioone]

is this the same show with Jimi Hendrix?

[as400techman]

Yes, I was there. Incredibly Joan Baez was on after Hendrix. Fantastic weekend and only just over £3 for a weekend ticket.

[MusicBlackSunday]

Bravo ! Bravo ! cool music, good music !

[mcpoil]

the riff at the end of the the song remind me a Doors song



[CockneyRebel1979]

I think the guitarist's SHIT-HOT! I especially like the part he plays twenty-three seconds into the video. :)

[lovelyflares]

@CockneyRebel1979 ...Alvin Lee...

[MiMaKBaSS]

@CockneyRebel1979

Isn't this a quote from "Cat's Squirrel" (Vintage J. Tull & Cream)

There are lots of litle references to other big hits of the day!

[digdogdennis]

I still have my ticket stub. Orpheum Theate in Boston 1974. I used to see them & The Allman Bros evrytime, for a few yrs back then. Dont remember too much,! cept me sayin "just like the record" A Great Time time musically to be alive.

[macdwhac]

I saw them perform this in the early 70's in Boston when I was in the Navy. This song went on for at least 12 minutes. He had the crowd going crazy. Possibly one of the best concerts I ever attended. The only 2 bands I enjoyed more than that concert were Humble Pie (I was at the Filmore East when they recorded "Rockin The Filmore"), & Grand Funk (When they were still called GF Railroad).

[stonerbudkap]

@macdwhac You're a lucky dude.

[ameredon1]

@macdwhac u r lucky u see them live in original group..I think fillmore east and west were closed because of health and safety hazard ..as alvin lee said that the fillmore east is not safe if there's a fire broke out..there was no fire exit among the artist and the only way out is the audience entrance ...

[TheHabit00]

@macdwhac lucky you, that would of been cool!!!

[nettiefly]

best song i've heard in a long time

[mudspud01]

Truelly a once in a lifetime performence ,,man i wish i was there youll never here this song be played like this again not even on there records is it even close to sutch a jam !!! They definitly were one of the greatest bands at the time !!!

[yeah1956]

trop bien, k'est ce que j'aimerai revoir ça en vrai...

[thebird55]

Eat your hearts out. I saw him (first time) on 05/26/74 and he was even better than this. I think he did everything from 'Recorded Live', which has a better version of this on it. If you haven't heard it, find it.

[mudspud01]

i have it recorded live but , i dont know if u can say he did better then this !! , i mean he did play alot more , but this all comes together , in the live hes all over the place just killin it then just jumps into the verse!

[esarias3]

dear forsinard10 you have mental diarrea

[Forsinard10]

Dear Viwenka0603,

Alvin Lee, Ritchie Blackmore and Jimmy Page are just God's creatures, humans, not divines. We cannot praise them but we can pray for them to Jesus and we need to thank God for still keeping alive the 3 above mentioned gentlemen.

[mudspud01]

well take out jimi page and put in roy buchanon lol god knows jimi aint the top three !!

[moontheloon1969]

god i wish i was there off muy box on some crazy 70s acid

[sideburns1974]

I named my youngest son Alvin and he's playing guitar know at age eight I hope onces he becomes the next Alvin Lee???

[rodrigonotari]

best version I know of this song ! Pirante!

man! how I wish I was there!

[Viwenka0603]

Alvin Lee is God,like Blackmore and Page

[chrisradano]

Good concert.

[arnoldvld]

haha, little bit of the Cream in the beginning :D

Brilliant band, brilliant song!

[mentevisualizadora]

como se llama ese bajista?... es el bajista mas loco que he visto es un master ese tipo

[IvReichdeoz]

[metaltrsh]

[crowbar086]

Isle of Wight 1970 amazing!

[nickkalisz]

sounds like cream @ the beggining. sounds like steppin out and cat's squirrel

[petdef]

Does anyone know where you can see this whole video - all 18 minutes of it?

[ramiroen4]

mis arvoles de carton nunka yegaran a entender la komplejidad de la basura intergalactika ke proporciona lumbre a todos los revolusionarios del te i del pan kon palta ke tan poko esfuerzo necesitaron para yegar al centro del yogurth incandescente pero ke tanto les kosto mirar el universo gallinaceo desde el punto de vista de una ballena verde ke se resfala en su propia inkomprension de lo absoluto ke es el choklo en los elados .

ARREPIENTANSE IJOS DEL ELEFANTE GIRATORIO DE KOLOR ARCOIRIS.

[marand75]

WOW!!!

[4erosmith]

Gods...

[MiMaKBaSS]

I grew up with the 'Recorded Live" album which is my opinion is a little known classicand features a great version of this.

Always wanted to see him perform it, around the same time. Thanks.

[PeterTRFC]

OUCH! I love love this version of "I cant keep from crying"..

Brilliant!

[clickswitchh]

i want that guitar ...

[purpledynasty]

Notice the amplifier behind Alvin has "ELP" marked on it. Isle of Wight was also one of ELP's first major gigs.

Someone mentioned the TYA Live at The Fillmore CD. It was only released within the last 10 years. It captures them a few months after Woodstock at their peek in 1970. Undead catches them in their infancy - before they recorded many of their best tunes. Its great - especially if you want to hear them "raw", but check out the Live at the Fillmore recordings as well.

[flipperiano]

simplemente una banda exelente, y en la verdadera epoca del rock... :9

[rtermini]

Alvin!

[univibe23]

Amazing performance!!! By someone who had a Damm brain in the 60's and wasn't tripping on acid and Smak every day..who told the hangers on to F***off! Long live Alvin Lee!!

[clickswitchh]

was he on smack?

[baytownbert2]

Alvin Lee...yes!

[witchman67]

Yes, and another group that you seldom hear on the radio.

[Lukestar1991]

One of the most underated groups of the last century, unbelievable!

[chrisguygeezer]

No they weren't. They were huge, especially in the States.

[swingmanu]

@Lukestar1991 problem was early glory...the only thing they could do( well) at the time was playing fast, all the slow and medium stuff being very poor...So the gigs were boring until they started rocking Good morning little school girl and I'm goin home, and that was it... Alvin Lee has gotten much better with age, since he had to keep playing for a living... For some reason, he's not playing with Ten years after anymore, but you all know what it's like, being on the road for 30+years!

[Bozzy83]

@Lukestar1991 for sure....that would be an understatement

[benitojauregi]

@Lukestar1991 ... And one of the most underated guitarists... I love Hendrix, Page, Clapton, Beck and the others, but I don't think Alvin Lee is worst than them... In fact I think is the best rock and roll guitarist ever...

[1000maupie]

Broertjes Lee blijven onderschat zelfs tien jaar vooruit. Geweldig!!

[goodenoughforwembley]

The guy is a god. No doubt.

[Birdnipple]

this calibur of musician no longer exists, i mean i dont want another jimi or page or alvin, clapton etc.... i just want a true bluesman. where is he?

I guess it's gonna have to be me

[Dillhole117]

Hey Birdnipple you suck, but yea i agree we need a true soldier of music these days

[gmlasam]

I hear you. It is too bad many young players all sound the same and all wanting to play as fast as they can with all these arpeggios. After awhile they all sound like they are practicing their scales and no feeling. It gets old after awhile.

[JoshMan4492]

i totally get that! as a young musician myself, I would love to have a sort of blues-rock revival, but I'm a drummer, so I dont have as much control over that.

That being said, I freakin' love Ten Years After! this song rocks sooo much

[comaradella]

arround 4' reminds of," when the music's over", Doors

[katsimbalis7]

Sem palavras, simplesmente Ótimo!

[motorhead494]

ytss greattttt

[vdxind]

Alvin is the best in blues( hep me, the bluest blues... ) and in rock( i'm going home ...)

[Subhuman80]

Lenny Kravitz at 0:35 seconds...

[gharrincia]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[oostonefreeoo]

xD he was here!

[crankerny]

Jimi or Alvin ??. That has haunted me my whole life !!! I'll take Leo Lyons & Rick Lee anyday !!!!!

[canrockonthisthing]

Alvin. Now you are free!

[crankerny]

Thank's canrockonthisthing !!!. I love em' both but Alin kicks my ass !!!. They both can truly play anything both master's of the guitar !!!!

[krootman12]

nah jimi. but i still fucken love alvin

[Wheelz12]

Damn.

[rocknrolla81]

i this concert on a audio cd?

[frankhebert]

if you want a good live cd of ten year after i recomend live at Fillmore East. As for this show i do not know if they did an albulm with it

[galsandlagher]

Amen brother frankhebert, but even better try 'undead' live album, blow yer f'ing socks off!

[DocteurJM]

Certainly the best versionever of "Love like a man".

[bamyai]

Alvin & The Boys givin it some

[bucovin68]

BOMBASTIC!!!!!!!!!!

[fede4avar]

fantastico

[SAPPPPPY]

rick lee looks like fuckin` john bonham

alvin lee ...in the beginning he aslo play some pieces of cream .. alvin lee is fuckin' awsome

[DanubeBabe]

"ALVIN LEE AND TEN YEARS AFTER VISUAL HISTORY"

Check out this amazing book at Amazon. com.

LOTS of photos of the band. Awesome.

[neksus01]

ALVIN LEE should i say something more????

[lamecasuelas]

no, he´s a god!!!!!

[hungerinamerica]

Godhead!!!!

[rafaelbezerra88]

Fantástico!

Me lembro de Jim Morrinson, porém o timbre da voz de Jim é levemente mais suave!

Show!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wnorcott]

I have that exact Gibson ES-345 guitar same year even the color is the same. Now If Only I Could Play Like Alvin Lee haha.

[RobbyKrieger92]

You don't need to play like Alvin Lee,buddy.You keep practising and you''ll have your own style.Play your Gibson ES-345 the way it should be played!

[Wakhakwi]

Alvin Lee, such an underrated guitarist, "A Space In Time" by Ten Years After is a masterpiece!

[kittydeveer]

LEO LYONS IS THAAA SHIT MAN

[robymary]

I think that your mother is a assfucked bitch

[robymary]

you mr. kitty

[RobbyKrieger92]

No,he isn't!

[Peteh4455]

Nottingham Boat Club in the early days :) Wonderfull time!

Best Guitarist? Heard this argument on every Rock post on the Tube. Pht. Just sit back and enjoy the sounds and skills of the early guys. Leo Lyons, you made me put away the Les Paul and pick up a Gibson EBO. It took a great Bass guitarist to keep up with Alvin, Chick and Rick. Inspirational!

[danimaya2]

esta cancion es sublime los tiempos son del carajo

[RobbyKrieger92]

Alvin,man,he's kickin' ass.Best guitarist ever!They got the blues!Thanks Cumpadisonic!

[diux182]

great musicians!...that band was just pretty cool

[elwush]

Life is a mass, Alvin Lee and Ten Years After got the Blues, nothing mor to say

[circusguy]

Alvin was 25 years old when his band played this gig. What a great performance. My friend who used to see them at the Marquee Club in '67 said that they did a LOT of speed.

[wolfmother25]

lol te first de tuning in history pre sabbath lolo

[Ph3nix11]

people have detuned long before that moment. Albert King played in standard dropped down to C long before anyone heard of Alvin Lee. and Jimmy Page actively detuned his guitar during performances, check out early versions of Dazed and Confused. Of course Jimmy was a master thief so he might have picked it up from some one else.

[580Lmclt07]

alvin lee is a ledgent

[panheaddan1]

man ! so cool to see kids appreciate real old school rock n roll !!

[Kuazuma]

GREAT I got a good high off that one (naturally)

[eastsackevster]

Bass player, Leo Lyons, fretless bass! thats how you know you listening to a master. there is a fast clip of his bass with no frets, 2:58, have to stop and frame by frame it, at about 2:54, dudes going so fast cant film him!! haha weeeeeeee man!

[upuga]

THIS SONG FUCKING ROCKS

[organizedblues]

gosh,music was so good long before i was born, im sorry i messed it up for everyone...lol

[MikeDog52]

I get goose bumps from watching.

[Jenscool]

I get the goose, Dog!

[rurandy1027]

Alright...I can get hit by a beer truck and die happy now! Alvin Lee was, and is, one of the best guitarist I've ever seen! Great footage!

[gorgiak]

this is really what rock it means

[Jenscool]

Don't you mean Blues-Rock?

General Lee was a Blues man.

[blueONwhite]

Insanely excellent!

[alexj89]

i love how he breaks into "steppin out" "cat's squirrel" and "smokestack lightning." that's pretty awesome.

[gorgiak]

right man, this track is full of insane creativity...when he tunes down his guitar is really freaky

[FB1801]

My top 3 guitar players :

1) Alvin Lee

2) Rory Gallagher

3) Kim Simmonds

[longboarder1960]

RollingStone must have a bunch of kids at the helm these days... the 100 guitarists list was stupid !

[mister990]

ALVIN LEE NUMBER ONE. FULL STOP.

[aManAmongMan]

RollingStone 100 didn't have Alvin Lee,Chet Atkins,Steve Vai,Paul Gilbert,Rory Gallagher or Billy Gibbons!!Iommi 86? Angus Young 96? Gilmour 82? Roy Buchanan 57? Neil Young 83? Van Halen 70? Johnny Winter 74? That list is no authority on music.

[devilsclickingcanes]

Good grief, Rolling Stone is a joke--it's more of a marketing forum anyways, they really cannot hang anymore. It would not tell us much anyways, e.g., how do you compare and then rate players like Alvin Lee and Keith Richards, or Page, or Les Paul himself, or Cliff Gallup? The list goes on and on and on . . . Rolling Stone has not had a clue in many years, they're always trying to push some singer-songwriter on everyone as the "voice of a generation".

[flowerchiiiild]

no rolling stone didnt even put alvin lee on their list of top 100, when he should be at least in the top 5

[longboarder1960]

Hey what about.. Johnny Winter, Jeff Beck, John McLaughlin, Frank Zappa, Jimmy Page, Steve Howe, etc.

[purpledynasty13]

Finally someone who knows guitar playing! :) How nobody included John McLaughlin, Beck, Zappa and Howe in a list of great rock guitarists is a testament to word-of-mouth knowledge, not real knowledge. We've all left out Carlos Santana, Robert Fripp, Steve Vai and is colleagues at G3 and a slew of others.

[longboarder1960]

Everyone's list is different, Alvin Lee should definitly be up there, I dont think Rolling Stones top 100 list even had him on it, did it?

[PackedFunk]

1.SRV 2.Alvin Lee 3.Hendrix Don't argue with me you'll lose, look foolish, & embarrass yourself!

[aldelvec]

Hey PackedFudge, get it straight: 1.Alvin Lee 2.Jimi 3.SRV - wasn't Stevie still in diapers when Alvin and Jimi played Woodstock?

[PackedFunk]

Correction as follows Aldork: 1.SRV 2.Alvin Lee 3.Duane Allman 4.Hendrex Don't argue with me you'll lose, look foolish, & embarrass yourself!

[Napco205]

You are pretty narrow minded to music,...to say 1.SRV,2.ALVIN,3.Allman.....lol­, How about you title it the TOP 3 MAIN STREAM guitarist. Those people dont even make my top 20 yet alone anywhere on my list,....thats how much music you been missing out on. OH well your loss,...keep listening to clapton,..page and Jimi....lolol

[Jenisonc]

I agree Totaly with your top 3. Srv is a GOD! haha

[Napco205]

Did you even read what I wrote?,...You obviously have been corrupted by mainstream radio to think SRV is god. SRV's music was very average music,....stold alot of his songs from early Bluesman. Shit!, Johnny Winter,..Roy Buchanan,..Jeff Healy all kick SRV's ass.

[Jenisonc]

No I guess I didn't read it through all the way but even so, Liking SRV does not mean I am "Obviously corrupted by mainstream radio." thats pretty ignorant to say. Yes i agree that Johnny Winter and the others are great guitarist's but the FEELING that SRV had in his songs were unmatched

[jckat0816]

great rock band...

[brotherofmine]

Awesome!

[Stratobendix81]

Great Guitarist

[sneetzlebop]

Greates JAM BAND EVER !! HOW bout that Bass dude

What a kick in the Butt

[unknowndrummer66]

those are my kind of people

[kidmarine47]

i saw their first gig in the usa and about 5 or 6 other times. incredible live band!

[froggywoogie]

Great stuff thanks. I have the long version of this one on the Recorded Live album. It never gets old.

[FLAVIN77]

talkin' bout being cool
