Just a few months after having played the 69' Woodstock Festival in upstate New York, 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 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 himself taken from that interview with Cream Magazine published in January, 1970.

Alvin Lee stole the show at Woodstock with 'I'm Goin Home.' He woke the entire audience up with that number, akin to the scene in 'Back to the Future' where Michael J. Fox plays the guitar like Hendrix while writhing on the stage; that left the audience speechless! The Woodstock audience had never heard anyone play the guitar like that before! Alvin Lee is definitely one of the most underrated guitar players of all time. He's definitely right up there with Jimmy Page in my book! I envy the lucky few that got to see him play live! RIP Alvin Lee

First song I listened to 4 days ago that captivated my soul, air, reason and more was Bluest Blues with George Harrison on the slide guitar he plays so perfectly and I can’t get enough!

He sure can play blues rock guitar, but 5 million other guitarists, including me, play that same style too. I've been a guitarist for over 40 years and it doesn't matter if you believe me or not, but I wouldn't have any problem at playing everything he did in this video just as well as he did. Tossing in a few fast 16th or 32nd note triplet licks or arpeggios doesn't make a guitarist Hall of Fame material. Innovation does.

Alvin wore his heart on his sleeve in songwriting and stage presence. Name any others please---- besides Hendrix--- who were that emotive. This is great guitar rock music. Ten Years After deserves to take their place in the highest echelon alongside The Who, Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver, Grateful Dead, Santana, The Kinks, The Velvet Underground, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Roxy Music, Bowie, Jeff Beck, The Rolling Stones, and The Beatles..

Personnel: Alvin Lee - lead vocals, guitar Chick Churchill - organ Leo Lyons - bass Ric Lee - drums Summary: Extraordinary blues/rock guitarist Alvin Lee had already begun pursuing his solo career in earnest by the time he returned for the 28th and final U.S. tour of the original Ten Years After. Upon completion of the 1975 tour, TYA would split up and not return until a reunion was staged in 1989. Although a cult fave, the band burst onto the world music scene after it appeared in the documentary film, Woodstock, one of whose highlights was the performance of "I'm Goin' Home" by Lee and the band. This show, recorded at Bill Graham's Winterland ballroom, opens with a rockin' (but incomplete) version of the band's radio hit, "Rock & Roll Music To The World." They follow it with one their classics, "Love Like A Man." Muddy Water's "Good Morning Little School Girl," is next, and leads to long and tasty slow blues.

Excellent concert, they don't get any better than this concert period. Love the way Alvin Lee commands that big Gibson 335 the entire concert, he's getting a wonderful tone out of it and his classic Marshall amp stacks. The closing of Going Home is a work of blues guitar art, then we get not one but three songs during one encore... now that's the real deal, the entire band has a passion for performing live in concert! Bill Graham was the man, guess I'm fortunate he enjoyed live rock music, based on the rock bands he recruited to play at his venues he would have made one heck of a professional sports recruiter. After this, I'm going over to watch the Allman Brothers at another Bill Grahm venue, the Fillmore East to get a late-night fix of Duane Allman & Dicky Betts playing the lead guitar parts to Whipping Post off each other, that would be unheard of back in the day, now it's not even a stretch!

Looks like a great list of the classic era white blues players (except for Jimi of course). Nice of you to include Kossoff and Gallagher, probably the best British blues players. I would also add Roy Buchanan to the list, master of the slide. Someone mentioned Jeff Beck; I love Jeff Beck's work but to me he's not really a blues player (only some of his work with The Yardbirds and the first two Jeff Beck Group albums), and neither is Ritchie, they're much more than strictly blues players. And SRV - not exactly classic era, and if we're talking 'bout 80s and 90s, you can't leave out the amazing talents of Jeff Healy. But lets' not forget the pioneers: Muddy Waters, BB King, Freddie King, Abert King, Albert Collins, and the amazing Buddy Guy, and a few others I forgot.

Cricklewood Green was a masterpiece. PS - I went to Colombia after high school in 1972. One night, I (stupidly!) slept on a park bench in downtown Barranquilla and when I awoke, I saw another kid my age waking up from another bench across the park. I didn't speak a lick of Spanish and he didn't speak a lick of English - but we communicated on a deeper level - through rock and roll! When he emulated Alvin Lee playing and singing, "I'm Going Home", we both knew we were kindred souls! We remained friends and co-adventurers during my 6-month stay (most of that time in and around Santa Marta). Hope you're doing well, Raphael Mejia of Bogota!

Okay. I've been around since 1956 and admittedly I've seen many a guitar player use his mic stand as a slide "affect" but Lee is the only guitarist I've ever seen actually play an effective and precise slide solo using his mic stand. What an under rated and under celebrated guitar player he was. Lee was not just a guitarist but was a technician.

Alvin is in my opinion the greatest rock blues singer and guitar package in the history of the music . Listen to Ten years after FEEL IT FOR ME to get a clearer idea why . Only two guitar shows left me in shock Robin Trower. The other Alvin Lee. The artistry of both can not even be said correctly . If you seen either you know the score. Alvin will be missed .Coolest cat ever was.

What. Show that must have been . You lucked out . That was a classic time period to see any of them. They can not perform or find music bands like that anymore . Creativity is non existent and the formula plus character of bands can not come close to them. Trower had Dewar on vocals and playing bass that alone can not be matched while Alvin Lee and the band had chemistry you can not find in bands today . King crimson was so involved in the composition of the music they made it took on a life of its own . Bands just do not do that today for whatever reason .

I saw them in Houston, maybe ‘74. I’d say he was electrifying. Completely agree, I stumbled out speechless. I believe (it was a LONG time ago) I’m Going Home was his last song. I’d never seen anything like it, and, I’ve seen a few! Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Albert King, ZZ, Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray, all great, all my faves, lol I could go on… I’m no guitarist, but his and their performance was incredible.

We were at this show-went to every time they played anywhere in the Bay Area. First time we saw them was at the Fillmore in the Fillmore District in SF. Played lead in band for Canned Heat. When Big Bear came on stage, he said-I don't know who those guys are but they should be where we are. The next weekend they were. Long time ago. Great that shows were recorded back then I remember the two cameras on the floor. Sad story is that a fire in Grahams office destroyed a lot of the videos. We would go to the Fillmore West, Winterland, Avalon Ballroom and venues all over the Bay Area to see any band lay. A buddy of mine would meet every Thursday after work and go to the Fillmore regardless of who played. Still have posters from the time. Thursdays an Sundays were the only days they handed out the large posters. Other days you would get the small handbills. Those were some fun times.
