Description: 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

Reviews:

How come we only got 5 stars?

I love this. This is one of my favorites. I know I'll get some flack, but I like Pure Blues as an Alvin Lee album, and this deal at the Fillmore is pure Ten Years After. Brought me back to '69 at the Boston Gardens. this just isn't some record to complete a collection, this is...Yeah, that's right. It's good cuz it feels good.

strangely underrated

In spite of how huge TYA was, they suffered a 'blues backlash' shortly after, from the 'taste police'. With nasty published comments from Mike Bloomfied and Eric Clapton, it began to be hip to not be impressed with Alvin Lee's chops. Well, Michael Moore knew better, and used a Lee guitar solo for the soundtrack of "Fahrenheit 9/11". IT BURNS! Revenge is sweet. Keep it up Mr. Lee.

The Best I Ever Saw

I saw TYA in 1970 at the Paramount Northwest and I never saw a better live band and in the late 60's and early 70's I saw a lot of bands. My favorite band at that time was the Allman Bros and a much as I like the Bros, TYA was the best. Literally crawled out totally drained. My friend 'Wilfred the Hunter' and I gloated for months over our non-hacker friends who did not go because TYA was not a big "name band". The CD captures TYA live perfectly, what a trip to be able to capture a great band at their peak.
