Ten Years After, with dynamic front man Alvin Lee, was born of the second
British Blues invasion and from 1966 to 1975 they rocked their way into
musical history. From the Midlands of England to a residency at London's
famed Marquee Club to the Fillmore West in San Francisco, Ten Years After's
ride to fame was built on some of the finest and most innovative blues/jazz/rock
music being offered. Catapulted into superstardom as a result of the 1969
Woodstock Festival, Alvin's Lee's dazzling performance in front of nearly
500,000 rock fans is still considered a standard by which other rock guitarists
judge themselves. Lee's lead guitar and vocals were bolstered by the talents
of Leo Lyons on bass, Ric Lee on drums and Chick Churchill on keyboards,
and Ten Years After proved to be a powerhouse of great blues rock. With
28 U.S. tours in seven years , TYA was at its very best live on stage,
and a recently released CD - Live at the Fillmore East 1970 - continues
to show music fans what the fuss was all about.
