Editorial Reviews

Product Description
First original material for ten years from Groundhogs frontman. 'Blues At Ten' is an acoustic album written to coincide with Tony & Joanna's tour with Alvin Lee & Edgar Winter in spring 2004, although not actually released until afterwards. After nearly ten years Tony was inspired. Writing with half an ear to the old traditions of Blues he has written classic songs which marry old & modern themes, offset with arrangements of traditional songs & numbers by his heroes. Townsend. 2004.

With its devotion to '50s rock and blues coupled to a manic, if decidedly middlebrow performance tack, Ten Years After could seem positively Jurassic, even by late-'60s standards. This collection culls magnificently recorded performances (kudos to Hendrix/ELP engineer Eddie Kramer) from a February 1970 weekend stand at the Fillmore East, capturing the band at its post-Woodstock performing peak. The running times of most of the tracks (three-quarters of which clock in at seven-plus minutes) will tip listeners to the show's jam-heavy take on covers of Sonny Boy Williamson (an ominous, revamped "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl"), Willie Dixon (a slow, 16-minute burn through "Help Me"), and Chuck Berry (atypically economic romps of "Sweet Little Sixteen" and "Roll Over Beethoven"). But with the band's own primordial originals (the titles "Skooby-Oobly-Doobob" and "Extension on One Chord" speak for themselves) there's an elemental, effusive--and, dare we say it--Ramones-like stoopidity to the tracks. Even Alvin Lee's trademark fret-burner "I'm Going Home" is hard to resist. This set perfectly captures one of the era's hardest working bands in a concise, double-disc time capsule. --Jerry McCulley

4 out of 5 stars I just spent seven bucks too much for this.......2007-05-02

which really, really bites. The sound quality is great. The band is tight. Just keep in mind that Alvin Lee has one solo that he plays in every frickin' number the band does. You'll know it when you hear it, trust me. The songs themselves are great, and of course Lee is a tremendous guitarist, but Ritchie Blackmore he ain't. Still, if you were to make a choice between this and "Recorded Live," take this. I've always thought "Recorded Live" sounded uninspired, mostly. This has got many of the same pieces, but done better. You don't get "Choo Choo Mama," but you get a much better "Hobbit" and an "I can't keep from crying" that doesn't sound like it was recorded under a bathtub full of water.

5 out of 5 stars edicion MUY, MUY recomendable!!.......2007-03-02

lo mejor que alguien puede hallar en una placa en vivo es esa sensacion de "haber estado alli" y con estos 2 discos te aseguro que la sentis! gran sonido, grandes canciones, una guitarra fuera de control pidiendo pista...crudeza y sentimiento autentico...el fraseo y la garra de alvin lee son impresionantes..booklet digno con el relato de esas actuaciones...concluyendo, una edicion gratificante, que nos regala la actuacion de una banda que seguramente merecio mejor suerte que la que tuvo!!

4 out of 5 stars How Alvin Lee should be heard.......2007-01-09

Alvin Lee had his own sound and if you are old enough to remember it, get this cd and remember the high--if you have never heard Alvin Lee on guitar you are missing the rocker before Mark Knofler. They even due spoonful.

5 out of 5 stars Ten Years After - 'Live At The Fillmore East' (Capitol) 2-CD.......2006-12-04

Fantastic two disc archive live release from a true music legend,the British blues rockers Ten Years After. 'Live At The...' took place over a two-night stand on September 27-28,1968.My only regret is not ONLY wasn't I there myself,but I've never seen these guys play live.Twelve track concert,with a duration of a little under two hours.You can't go wrong by picking up a copy of this title. Sound quality is great.Also priced pretty nice. Most memorable cuts are "Love Like A Man", "50,000 Miles Beneath My Brain" (one of my personal favorites), the bluesy (also fun)"Skoobly-Oobly-Doobob", "I'm Going Home", "I Woke Up This Morning" and their two Chuck Berry covers, "Sweet Little Sixteen" and "Roll Over Beethoven". Would make a great gift for an old school fan. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Ten Years After Live.......2005-12-23

This is one of the best live albums that I have. Alvin Lee is one of the must unterrated lead players in the world. His solo on HELP ME is simply the best the speed that he plays some on some of the songs is breath taking. Their verson of SPOONFUL is better then CREAM did on their live album. You can't go wrong buying this album. Also I would compare Alvin Lee's lead playing to Jimmi Hendrix and Eric Clapton any time He is one of the best in the world.
