10 Years After

Forums:

After that insane performance at Woodstock (I was an usher in 1970, and watched parts of the movie 50 times), Alvin Lee was my first guitar hero before the GD circus rolled into my life.  Also a  way-underrated songwriter for my money.  RIP, Alvin.

Saw them at Fillmore West - killer shows

My first "rock" concert - Procol Harum opening for 10 Years After in the Phoenix Coliseum. What an introduction.  

Yes, huge fan here.  So many great songs.  Remember this one??

Saw Alvin open for the Kinks in 1980 at the Capitol Centre. Night before was the Allman Bros. Met the Kinks and Allmans after the shows at their hotel and in the lot. Allmans invited me on their tour bus for a second.

Great band. RIP.

Saw the original lineup in Toronto in 1990 right up close in a large-ish club downtown. They totally rocked and jammed and rocked some more.

One of the all-time coolest band names, for my money, and you can read about that here:
