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. http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/ten-years-afters-alvin-lee-dies-571954" rel="nofollow - http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/ten-years-afters-alvin-lee-dies-571954 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21688814" rel="nofollow - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21688814 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvin_Lee" rel="nofollow - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvin_Lee http://www.alvinlee.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.alvinlee.com/ ------------- Ｄａｌｅ Ｈａｕｓｋｉｎｓ (858) 401-2973 (310) 293-0432 https://artistecard.com/Dalehauskins |

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. Gone but not forgotten! ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

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 |
