- Thank you to our patron Arnie for this awesome pick! Man, did this get the brain juices flowing or what... they have such a cool, unique sound. Alvin is just an absolute monster on that axe. That outro was blistering. This was such a great track. I already added it to my pandora LOL

In1969 I was a hotel maid in Salt Lake Utah. Went into a room to clean and this entire band was in the room. These guys, Talk about nervous, They talked to me a bit while I was trying to clean the room. Asking them if they needed any towels and such. They could tell I was nervous.. Upon leaving they gave me 5 tickets to the show that night. Me and 4 friends went and watched these gorgeous long haired men. Those were the best of days..The music,, well you know.
Great story.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience. 👍
wow great story
Straight up classic. Every time Alvin gets mentioned, everyone smiles and nods... Just doesn't happen often enough.
I agree. He should be brought up more. Time is a savage beast.
Nope the worst song 12 yr ...wimpy fan boys should have done Sugar The Road...by this time just in it for the money...awful elevator music
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN sorry, don't agree
Alvin Lee had a close friendship with George Harrison and George played slide guitar on Lee's "The Bluest Blues". It's considered one of George's best solos.
awsome tune!
Thank you for the suggestion. I will take that under consideration 🤓👍
Saw them back in 71.
Alvin had some of the fastest fingers, According to very many of his contemporaries back in the day, and the thing that stands out most among all of them is Hendrix made some admiring statements about how great Alvin was.
Everyday we saw the burnt bleeding bodies of our kids. As a kid I lived in a working class neighborhood and we lost so many, my brothers were coming to that age. I can’t tell you what it felt like to be a small child seeing the war on tv every night, along with the social unrest ,the southern people screaming at little kids trying to go to scroll, police openly beating everyone,using water cannons on people protesting. Rage at injustice is burned into my soul . The pain of the tyranny overtaking the country right now . I wish the young the best , it’s your hot mess now .
I was in middle school. Scary times.
I met my future husband in 1972, when I was 18 and a senior in H.S. He was fresh out of the military, loved his buddies, but ready to put that behind and join the peace movement. Such a great song to chill out too. Still have this vinyl in our old collection. We’ve been together for 54 years, married for 49….. still rocking😎
Good for you guys !!
Whats insane this song done over half a decade ago sounds like it was meant for today!
Alvin Lee one of the most underrated guitarist of all time! ✌🏻
Half a century......
@@scottgoehlert6052 thanks ✌🏻
Have you seen their Woodstock performance? One of the most insane things you'll ever see.
And that was way way better than this...
"I'd Love To Change The World" by Ten Years After, was the 1960s handing the baton to the 1970s.
Well said!!!
Nope was a big sellout that wasn't very good...they had much better songs earlier in their career...
The only other song that would fit this criteria is All Right Now by Free.
Thanks for the Alvin Lee from my day. Also kudos for the Two Wolves mention. For those who may not be familiar:
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
Another band and album I learned of in College in the 70s. Who says you can't learn anything in school.
Indeed. Unfortunately this music and things associated with it were the only things I did learn in college. Oh, add I learned I didn't like going to class, lol.
I remember owning the Cricklewod Green album by them. A great band and Alvin Lee is one of the greats. Thanks Arnie and Lee.
Great album...don't know why they didn't pick something of that like Sugar The Road instead of this sellout for money...
I lived through it. Yes, I was relieved when they abolished the draft and went to an entirely voluntary military. We wondered if it would last, but here we are decades later, still voluntary.
Alvin was phenomenal. I saw him five times, twice with Ten Years After, once with Ten Years Later, and twice solo. Incredible shows every time. He never played this song at any of those shows. Go back and listen to the drums and bass. The lyrics, melody and guitar bring you in, but the bass and drums are right up there with everything else. Lots of great TYA songs you could do - Rock and Roll Music To The World, Slow Blues in C, I Woke Up This Morning, Good Morning Little Schoolgirl, No TItle, Baby Won't You Let Me Rock and Roll You,....
One of the best guitarist’s in rock
My uncle worked on helicopters in Viet Nam during the early days of the war (1966). He had just returned, we were all at Gramdma's house, I looked at his scrapbook from the war. A few photos showed South Vietnamese soldiers with necklaces of human ears and other horrors.
When I turned 18 a few years later, I knew I wanted nothing to do with that war.
One of my favorite amd i think best guitarist of all time. He was good friend of George Harrison and they loved to sit and kam just for kicks... he has many rockers from his solo days. I saw him in Denver in the 80s I think. Great show....
I owned one Ten Years After album - SShh (can't remember exact spelling). Killer cover of Good Mornin Little Schoolgirl by Sonny Boy Williamson
Can’t argue with that
One of my favorite albums. Lots of good songs on it. "I Woke Up This Morning" has some blistering guitar work from Alvin
Great Review! I had the good fortune of seeing Alvin !

Love this song. Not PC today, but still moved me. RIP Alvin Lee.
Now you gotta love the drumming in this song,lol.TYA is truly a badass band.Rip in the history of R&R.
The first big out of town concert i went to was 1972 in Cleveland 16 years old. Ten Years After, Black Oak Arkansas opened for them.
Bluest Blue is a song that I guarantee you will have it on your playlist!✌🏻
When this came out I felt it in my bones. I still do. Only I am now a man with plan. I pray against the spellcasters and mind fuckers. Change the world? Change yourself. How can you take the cinder out of your brother's eye with that log in your own?
The song's message is still relevant today. Sad.
guitar work is next level on this song. Whole album was great. Alvin Lee was one of the great blues rock guitarists.
At the end of the song, Alvin Lee whispers " AND I WISH YOU LUCK".
One of my favorite songs from that era!
Great song!
The Vietnam War ended the year before I turned 18 and my age group of males were getting a bit worried we'd be called up for the draft. My mom later told me she was ready to take me and my younger brother to Canada, if it came down to that, and I had to tell her I probably wouldn't have left with her. No matter how opposed to the war I was, I'm not a coward. However, it was a tense time back then, which was undercut by a pervasive, growing numbness to the war, due to the "Body Count." Every evening on the Nightly News, the networks would update the viewers on the progress (or lack thereof) of the war and then would show the damned Body Count, which ranged from 35 - 235 deaths every single day. It was a horror show, and eventually people began to grow numb to the death and destruction, just to cope with the trauma caused by seeing that damned Body Count, along with the horrific visuals coming out of 'Nam.
A lot of people wanted to change the world back then, and much got done, but "the man," like a Vegas casino, always wins.
Saw them live in Hawaii on the tour for their album after this one. Incredible! The opening act stunk - a brand new smooth rock band with no edge called The Eagles. But Ten Years After were on fire!
"Tax the rich,
Feed the poor,
'Till there are no rich no more". "Nuff said.
AOC must hate this song
@@user-zh9ow3jz1t don't limit it to her....just use a D.
ok comrade what happens when there are no rich no more? then who feeds the poor?
Wimpy boy song...not a good song...and they had so many better
@ripvanwinkle2002 no one cares song for 12 yr olds
An iconic song! I was 5 yrs.old when I first heard this song. It made me instantly aware of what an electric guitar sound was. I was instantly mesmerized by it. One of my desert island songs for sure:)
Hi Lee. 'A Space in Time' (1970), one of the greatest and most beautiful Albums of all time from one of the greatest Bands of all Time with one of the greatest Guitarists, Singer and Composers in the Hisrory of Rock, Mr. Alvin Lee - Ten Years After! This Album from 1970 is One of the most outstanding Albums ever recorded. A Record of beguiling beauty. Hence my tip - is simple: listen, marvel, enjoy, kneel down and cry! ☺ Kind Regards Heinz (from Munich/Germany). 🌳❤🥀✨
Hello Heinz! Good to see you. Thank you for watching! Hopefully we don’t have to wait almost 4 months for the next ten years video 😏😊 I definitely enjoyed this and I will hopefully check it out
No it was terrible too wimpy and bland
@@L33Reacts Hi, Lee. Yesterday I've send you a long Message but to my great disappointment, it has disappeared or been deleted. I found that very strange, not least because of that because I only recommended three excellent albums from 3 excellent bands to you. That's why I'm faced with a conundrum. Perhaps you can help me to understand what was the reason for it or why it happened? 🤔 Kind Regards Heinz.
Another classic ! Just wait until someone requests the song , Good Morning Little Schoolgirl , live at Winterland in 1975 ! You might like that !
Took me until age 38 - 9 years ago - when I found out the name of this band.
Saw them in the 1970's at the Philadelphia Spectrum. Great show!
Damn I bet that was a sweet show
I honestly don't know if I have heard this in 50-odd years, but the words and music were straight back front and centre. Amazing and beautiful! Thanks, Arnie
You’re very welcome. Brings back great memories and a great message too.
Was a young aspiring song writer when this came out. Dug the music but thought that the lyrics were lazy. Old now, enough to know I was an ignorant punk. Great song!
So happy this was introduced to you. Great song
Thanks, ARNIE P.
You’re welcome.
Great reaction. Alvin Lee was amazing. The Bluest Blue is a fantastic song by him
Great band, especially live.
One of my favorite songs of their, I keep this CD, now I have to put it in my car.
Still true. Things haven’t changed.
This whole album is a Classic, and worth a listen. Still listen to it all to this day.
Love TYA, there's only one problem here, your first listen was " I'm going home" which is off their first album " Undead " and this one is off one of their last albums , there's a lot in-between you missed.😂 You still have a lot of work to do.🤣🤣🤠👍
Classic song ☮️
Alvin Lee's solo featuring George Harrison on slide, very cool
Lee, one of my favorite songs ever. Alvin just kills on this. My favorite album by them to.
Got to see Alvin Lee & Ten Years Later a couple of times, always great.
He does a nice cover of the Beatles I Want You (She's So Heavy)
How about Walk Like A Man next
Damn I gotta hear that cover that sounds good
Love this song. Not PC today, but still moved me.
Saw their farewell concert at the Old Chicago Stadium. People ripped out their sets and took them home!
Great timing as it was 54 years ago last week, that I saw Ten Years After in Toronto. We were so mesmerized by Alvin Lee's playing along with the entire amazing band. Great memories and Happy Canada Day! Thanks Lee & Arnie P.!
I love this format, with the album cover filling the left side of the screen and Lee filling the right. 👍
Great song. My 9 yr old gr-granddaughter and I are enjoying this : )
absolute classic talent!
Alvin Lee invented the air guitar, just for us.
One of favorite songs of all time.
Great Song. 👍.
Great song. This song is the one with which I'm most familiar from them.
Their "Recorded Live" album is amazing. Highly recommended.
My recollection is hearing or reading that Alvin Lee really didn't like this song. I saw them 3 or 4 times when they were still pretty big, and they never played it. I saw Alvin flying kick over one of his Marshall stacks when their encore was interrupted twice by power loss. He then turned to the audience, smiled and waved, and that was the end of the show. Oddly satisfying ending.
Saw them a couple of times in the late '60...their live album, "Undead", is worth checking out, particularly "Woodchopper's Ball" and "Goin' Home"...
Fantastic song
1971 is the year the Who released WHO’s NEXT 1965 to 1975 song and groups that are heavy, hard and loud that has something to say and don’t care if it’s not what the establishment would like. Nor commercial a.m. top 40 stations advertisers would like because if you really say it, the radio won’t play it so you have to lay it……..
Killer song! Love Alvin Lee!
Singularly epic.
I'm going home . . . by helicopter - That's another great listen, Alvin's set at Woodstock, he's in a groove a mile deep. I had friends who briefly argued this was a George Harrison song. Ah, the days of the DJ not mentioning the name at the end, missing the start where they talked over the opening was a crime too.
they were great live.
Great song Lee! A Space in Time is a grand album. I bought it years and years ago and dug the shit out of it. This was their radio hit. The first two songs on the album are my favorite though: One of These Days, a great rocker, and Here They Come, a spacy eerie song about alien visitors. Love your reactions dude!
The most epic song they ever did was Standing at the Station. It builds to a frenzied finish. I know you'd love it because your musical tastes closely align with mine.
I saw Alvin Lee and Johnny Winter on the same night in Portland Oregon in the 70’s. I was in guitar heaven!
This song still applies today!
I remember buying this excellent LP along w "Who's Next", "After the Gold Rush" + "Seatrain" in '71. 4 for $10. @
Flo's Record Boutique in Pittsburgh, freshman year. Music Explosion.
And those albums way better than this
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN You're correct. Needed CDs after playing the other 3 LPs over + over. Ten Years After
LP still playable however.
One of my favorites from back when! Hey...side note: cool shirt! I bought my brother one just like it!!
Great reaction Lee. Love the way you weave stories and themes from your life into your videos. Even though it’s through the internet you make a real human connection that way and it’s very cool. Great message in this song that it’s too daunting to figure out how to change the world but you can be the world you want it to be.
They have a album named Ssssh . Every song is gold!! Rock on dude.
Alvin Lee. 'Nuff said.
The guitar mastery of Alvin Lee. Unmatched in it's day.......
That was the first progressive album I ever bought in 1970
Ten years after is one my favorite bands ever and and why they’re not in the rock and roll hall of fame is crazy
True classic.
When Jimi Hendrix was asked what it was like to be the greatest guitarist in the world he replied, 'I don't know, ask Alvin Lee'.
@Sanparr1 Well almost, it was a reporter who asked that question to Eddie Van Halen and he replied how the hell would I know you need to go ask Alex Lifeson The guitarist of Rush. But yes Jimmy had said very nice things about Alvin Lee and what a great player he was.
Hahaha get the hell out of here with your fake quotes. This fake quote always features a different guitar player.
I have always loved this song! ❤
Congrats on hitting 25K!
Hey thanks man I appreciate that. Onwards and upwards. Can’t do it without y’all 🙏🙏
Great song! Excellent critique! Lee, when are you going to start Reviewing more, Doobie Brothers? So many great songs in their catalog.
Whenever people request them again! I wish I had a slot free. The one free slot was the James gang video I did this morning lol
First song on album the best on album. The song iss One of These Days. Know one reacts to. Seen them twice Germany 1970 till 1974 I know what I'm saying Do It
Yamo highly recommend Bad Scene 'n Stoned Woman from their classic album SSSSH. I saw them live at the Fillmore West in 1969...a great show.
This will still sound great decades into the future. Very 70s-rooted and yet kind of timeless. Fun to play too. When I play this at 'gigs' the smiles on people's faces makes all the work I did learning to play guitar well worth it.
that tone is impeccable
This is a really good album ,you should give a listen
Don't know why it's not mentioned here Alvin Lee and 10 Yrsrs After we're at Woodstock. Awesome as they are.
I’ve done it! It was my first experience with them
1965 Barry McGuire Eve of Destruction. Similar lyric.”handful of senators, don’t pass legislation” 1971 senators, stop the war. The war in Vietnam started 1955 the US sided with the south Vietnamese government. It’s not simple getting involved in a civil war. It had been going on for 9 years before the US GOT INVOLVED IN 1964
Some bands are great in the studio and some are extra good live. These guys were a great live band. Bob Segar, is great too buy he's even better live. Jeff Beck was that way too. Flawless live.
Can't get away with his lines today" Every Where there 's Freaks and Hari's!"( Hari Krishna movement) who would accost people on streets for donations!" Dykes and Fairies!"He wasn't PC! No not Today!,but it is what it is,Loved Alvin any thing off "Cricklewood Green!" my fav!
You have played some bangers today overall. Everyone a classic.
The first of the month is always the best day because I have a ton of songs to work with! 😊
@@L33Reacts Alvin Lee’s guitar was crying to us today. And Lou Reed? I remember being on a subway in NYC as a teenager and a cross dresser came on the train with fishnet stockings and short shorts and a tank top. I was from Illinois and never saw someone different. It was an educational experience and I still remember it. I love that song and have played it multiple times today.
Actually, you'd fit comfortably into that era. It's how your brain works, how you pay attention to the details of things.
i was in college and got a student exemption. After I graduated, I was part of the draft lottery...my number was in the 300's so I never got called up....
The title reminded me of the old series of commercials and the jingle, "I'd love to buy the world a Coke".
Though I quit drinking Coke, they had classic commercials, e.g., polar bears.
Nope but just as wimpy and awful
I feel like you might be interested in "Journey the Center of a Mind" - The Amboy Dukes after seeing you react to this un. "I'm Just a Singer in a Rock & Roll Band".
So, so good!
