Description:
One of rock's most explosive and innovative guitarists, Alvin Lee, set the music scene alight as founding member of the seminal band, Ten Years After. This special edition of Rockpalast spotlights the artist's new project, Alvin Lee's Ten Years Later providing indisputable evidence that the talented axesmith is still capable of delivering spellbinding fretboard mastery that routinely leaves audience members in awe-struck admiration. Song list: Ain't Nothing Shaking, Gonna Turn You On, Help Me, Hey Joe, Choo Choo Mama, I'm Going Home

If you're part of the extremely small coterie of fans who still remember Alvin Lee and his monotonous heavy-blues band, Ten Years After, then the appeal of this concert video needs no explanation. If, however, you're either too young to remember Lee (whose charismatic turn in the Woodstock film made him more of a star than his derivative music ever would have), or you are old enough to remember him but couldn't care less what he's been up to, the lure of this tape may be somewhat more obscure. Lee (looking distinctly chunkier and more wasted than in his youth) was a rock-blues guitarist-singer whose main claim to fame was a speedy set of fingers (not to be confused with actually being a great guitarist). He's joined here by an undistinguished bassist and drummer for an hour of retrograde blues bashing, featuring his trademark scat singing and interpolation of better songs into his own hackneyed tunes. Filmed at a club in Germany, this is a video that seemingly pinpoints where music from the late 1960s went to die. --Marshall Fine

I was lucky enough to find this BRAND NEW DVD. I have been a performer/singer since 1965. I saw TYA steal Muddy Waters' show. After seeing 100s of concerts, Alvin is solidly set in the top five guitar players EVER!
If you get a chance to see him live, (by keeping up on every release, he continues to excel) see him, so you can tell Amazon's Marshall Fine that he is a fool.

Not much you can say about the quality of this DVD other than it's average at best however the quality of Alvin's playing is indeed something to behold. Don't pay any attention to the official review. It's obvious he doesn't know what a good guitarist sounds like. Alvin Lee jams on every song as if it were his last and there's no doubt he's getting better with age. "Help Me" was a highlight for me with it being an excellent example of the Blues at it's finest. I showed this DVD to my 17 year old nephew and he was in awe. As I always tell young music fans, listen to Alvin Lee and then you'll really know what rock and roll is all about.

I think amazon.com needs to find a new home for Marshall Fine because he certainly doesn't understand great musicianship.(Actually, he understands less than that - this was not filmed at a club in Germany, it was filmed at a German TV studio.) Alvin Lee and Ten Years After were hardly a monotonous heavy blues band. They were an innovative jazz/rock/blues band with one of the best guitarists playing then - and playing now. Proof of that merely needs to be in the number and quality of guitarists playing today who cite Lee as one of their inspirations. This 1978 concert was as high- energy and musically satisfying as fans of this guitarist have come to expect. That said, there is one thing wrong with this DVD -and only one thing - the quality is lousy. So lousy that Mr. Lee is said to have NOT given permission for its release.

This Is so Great! Alvin & Co Shred from start to Finish! Do not Hesitate Just Buy It, you'll Agree. I wouldve Rated it a 5 But if a show from 69 or 70 ever becomes available and is Professionaly done Im certian I'd give that a 5 cause TYA Smoked then.

What an amazing band. One of the best ever. I wanna say that I am ONCE AGAIN (this is like the 80th time) SHOCKED AND ANNOYED by the amazing incompetence shown by Amazon.com's official reviews. Why do they pay pathetic idiotic slobs to write reviews for them? Sheesh.
