- YES! I started listening to Ten Years After when I heard
- "I'm Goin Home" off the Woodstock Album. I have a couple
- of albums, one of which is I would assume one of the first ones
- they did. Lotta jazzy type stuff and an early version of "I'm
- Goin Home". There was a guitar thing on VH1 about a year
- ago that had alot of guitar players, Alvin Lee being one of them.
- Night of the Guitar, I think it was called. He was as fast as
- ever, although I must say he was playing more or less the same
- riffs he did 20 years ago too. Oh well, I still think Ten
- Years After is some damned good rock-n-roll.
