Very sad news. One of the highlights of Woodstock '69.

I Was at Reading in 83 to , that was the year i saw Alvin play in a small pub near Oxford , Alvin lived in Sonning Common near Reading he would often be seen in the local Country Pub having a pint With Dave Gilmour , they were neighbors at the time. I remember Randy California of Spirit was staying at Alvins place he turned up at the pub one night to playing darts with Alvin and Ian Gilan

I've heard the new only now. One of the greatest guitarists I've ever seen playing live (with Tony Levin at bass that time). Really a bad year, this year.

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution
