Seeking Ten Years After song

Yes, I think old Alvin was a bit of a Primadonna.
I heard it pissed him off when ace bass player, Leo Lyons, would steal the show.

Mlauner: The Woodstock performance is what I'm comparing the Fillmore to (partly). The Fillmore gig is routine and uninspired by comparison.

Alvin Lee let Leo Lyons take many lengthy solos, and made a point of acknowleding the good work.

I saw them from the first balcony in the-then Music Hall in Boston circa'73-'74 (R&R Music to the World tour). They were truly great but Alvin did seem to hog the spotlight. Very different times. One of the better sounding shows at that time, but then the Music Hall itself was and is a wonderful, architecturally and acoustically well-designed venue.

It would be fun to listen each other's systems from the front row with the systems set up stage front.

TYA was a great band and most of their LP's are very well recorded by audiophile standards especially Cricklewood Green and A Space in Time.

I heard Alvin Lee say he was the reluctant leader of the band because of his singing and guitar playing and it sounded like it caused a rub with the other members...Someone has to lead or it turns into a big circle.

"Cricklewood Green" is a fantastic psychedelic blues/rock album that has fantastic sound as well! One of my vinyl treasures. Highly recommended if your into that kind of stuff. If not, give a listen and see if you change your mind.

BTW, its only a touch psychedelic with a few embellishments here and there, so if that hippie stuff ain't your cup of tea, don't let that put you off. THis is one of the best blues/rock albums out there that I have heard. IT is baffling to me that some of the cuts on here do not receive any airplay on classic rock stations and such.
