Seeking Ten Years After song

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.

I second Jaybo's recommendation of 'Undead," which is just spectacular, particularly side one.

I saw them at Fillmore West about two weeks before Woodstock. So I got *that* going for me. :-)

Does Alvin Lee still tour?

Can he and his band still "tear it up" like in his prime?

I don't think so. I saw him as part of a British retro show at the Fillmore some years ago (Eric Burdon, Ainsley Dunbar, others) and I thought he was kind of pathetic. Still wearing a tank top and trying to be the Rock Star, but not much there musically as I recall. I regretted going. :-)
