YEAH! Good old stuff that used to live on our friends' elder siblings record shelves! Soaring fuzzy guitars, frenzied solos, raucous percussion, charging rhythms -- the sound of the times, and it still sounds wild today! Thanks, RP!

BUMP 8 > 9.  To me, that sure sounds like Alvin put his heart and soul into that guitar run. Holy shit.

First few bars of this and I was waiting ... waiting ... waiting .... waiting .... (for what must have been 2 seconds) ...  to find out, "Who is this fabulous new band that makes this most excellent music?"

Then I saw it's Alvin Lee and I settled in for a wonderful few minutes of machine-gun guitar.  Yippee!

Methinks Rock n Roll Hoochie Koo was inspired by this here smoking blaze of a blues rock tornado.

oh...the arguments in the mid 1970s on who were the best RnR guitar players: Page, Hendrix, Allman, Santana, Clapton, Beck, Nuigent, Garcia, etc.

And Alvin Lee's name would come up. This song explains why.

Love me some Ten Years After! Check out Cricklewood Green. Classic blues rock album and Alvin Lee burns down the house, as usual.

It's funny how to some folks Ten Years After seems like an obscure or forgotten band, but it seems that the guys from The Black Keys listened to them a lot.

 
They should have paid more attention to his chops rather than just his tone.

Excellent point. I see it. 

 
Yes, well caught, Proclivities. That synth (or synthesized guitar?) reminds me of The Guess Who's "American Woman". This is the first time I've heard this and idiot_wind's right: this cooks.

Smokin'! Holy shit, that's another theme for Rock and Roll Cathedral. 
Joe Walsh methinks had a thing for Alvin.

From about '68 to '73 is such a sweet spot in RnR.

Watt and Shhh...some of the heavier/fuzzier sounds from Alvin and TYA.  Haven't heard this one in so many years, I forgot all about it

How often do you hear 10 Years After?  Not often enough!
