Hi,
Of all the performances at the "Woodstock" film, none of them rip things up, as much as his does. And the film's "glory" doesn't really start until that moment.
For years, I did not care as much for this piece, and thought that unlike many of the others, and the "theme" that the whole thing started out with, which was more politically aware, and important, all of a sudden, became ... something else ... just music and its meaning was less important than otherwise ... and when I went after the DVD of the re-mastered version (not worth the money -- it's still missing too much!), I have to admit that a couple of performances did still stand out ... and the let it rip energy of Alvin Lee's performances, kinda became an image for the many things in those days that had been left behind ... we all went home ... to our baby! Regardless!
It was good. It was a gutsy performance, and I think that Alvin knew that this was an insane and amazing day, time, and place. You can not be afraid to play, and let it all go ... and every time I see a portion of this I see the one thing that my generation has brought to music that so much DAW influenced crap can not do ... personal, caring, emotional ... simply all out ... and nothing else matters!
Wonder if the CHB can actually do something like that? Or maybe that would be a lot to ask, when the folks are not on the same stage/room!
As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!

I saw TYA in concert in early 1972 in Frankfurt, Germany.
Well, I saw the back of Alvin's head for 2 hours due to where my seat was.
It was my second concert ever. I loved it.
I recorded the show on my little Philips cassette tape deck and then wore out the tape listening to it so much.
RIP Mr. Lee.

Probably a bit before my time but I did have the Woodstock album when I was in HS ('82).
My personal listening system at the time consisted of homebrew/homemade Klipsch folded horn system and a 120 watt Nikko amp and it was a very efficient system (i.e., LOUD)
I'm Goin' Home ... by Helicoptor was a mainstay of things that got cranked out the window in my parents suburban NJ home. The neighbors loved me.
