Me and the Missus were lucky enough to see Ten Years After at Reading Uni years ago, he stood there and said "This is called I'm going home", brought the house down.
Think Big Red.
My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.
Yes, he was a great and contemporary to Hendrix, and dare I say, held his own in that league. Leo Lyons was my hero when I first started playing bass. I bet that live they were untouchable, never saw them.
That's impressive skills. Not something I actually like to listen to really, but can't fault the skills.
My mate's dad played with Jimi a few times. He (mate's dad) can play behind his head and with his teeth (not at the same time)! In fact, so did Rod his son, who was in our band on the guitar.
One of my favourite guitarists who encompassed several genres in his playing, blues, jazz, folk and rock. Britain's answer to Rory Gallagher and both sadly gone. Glad I saw them both.
Oh yeah,Ten Years After.Caught them a couple of times at the Eden Park Hotel sarf London and elsewhere.I think there was a French film about Alvin Lee called the fastest guitar in the west or something.... He didn't deserve an end like that though.Stay out of hospitals if you're of a certain age.
Saw him back in about 1975 at a pub on the Fulham Palace Road. Sensationally quick hands.
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one's lifetime." (Mark Twain)
