He will be playing Going Home, even though he really did not enjoy that song! (check out the coughs on Recorded Live!).

RIP Alvin , once , long ago THE axe slinger par excellence!

Alvin Lee,fantastic ripping guitarist and singer;
Mr.Lee was a huge influence on this Los Angeles guitarist Dale as a youth !!

ich bin geschockt.Einer der besten Rock-Gitarristen überhaupt...


Ten Years After toured the U.S. twenty-eight times in seven years more than any other UK band.

Er spielte in Woodstock den Song:"I´m going home" mit einer Wahnsinnsgeschwindigkeit.War glaube ich auch eine zeitlang der schnellste Gitarrist der Welt. Er lieferte mit "Ten Years After" spektakuläre Liveauftritte ab. Tja - nun ging er wirklich home.Lieber Alvin "Grüß mir meine Idole im Musikerhimmel" Ruhe in Frieden.

Seeing Ten Years After live was one damn big party! Alvin Lee was a great performer (and only Robin Trower made funnier faces while playing). When you say the words "Rock and Roll" that is what Alvin was playing.
