The Great Alvin Lee Dies

[slovell]

IMHO "A Space in Time" is one of the greatest rock albums ever made. He will be surely missed.
Kindest Regards, Sam

I'm listening to A Space in Time, too. May he RIP.

 

[Cactus Bob]

The most iconic guitarist to die since Hendrix with the exception of Garcia.

 

[Jack Lord]

Devastating news.

RIP Alvin

 

[Estring]

A highlight of Woodstock for sure.

So sad. Always one of my favorite players and front men.

RIP Alvin. You left us with a lot of memories. One of my all time favorite guitar players. And I even had a chance to see him live touring "In Flight" in 1974.

 

[Cactus Bob]

I just read online that he was due to play a concert at Olympia Hall in Paris on 7 April with blues guitarist Johnny Winter.

Very Sad news, TYA was an early favorite and I was fortunate enough to have seen them in about 73. RIP Mr. Lee.

Saw him at Great Woods in 1985 and he was amazing. I dirty danced with my girlfriend the whole show

Cranking A Space In Time LP right now, will be cranking my MFSL SSSSH/Cricklewood in the car this week.

RIP Alvin

RIP Alvin Lee. Spin up some Ten Years After, y'all.:tears:

Already am.... "Cricklewood Green". Easily one of the best-sounding original '60's pressings I own (Mine's got "SF" next to the right of the Bell Sound logo). Looks like somebody did a few hundred burnouts over top of the thing, and yet it sounds almost-completely-quiet. Just a light pop every once in a while, but that's it (I actually need to clean it... Should get rid of at least half of them).

Alvin was one of my biggest early guitar-influences back when I was in my teens. Taught me a lot, actually. I had "A Space In Time", "Cricklewood Green", and the "Woodstock" soundtrack on vinyl before I was even 15 years old. I even bought a hollowbody because of Alvin Lee's playing (My 2nd guitar... Cheap 335 copy... I wanted to slap a peace-sign sticker on the thing like he did).

RIP, Sir Alvin...

RIP. Stuff legends are made of.

Lyrics to live by.
So sad. I will be exploring more of their music.

'85 Great Woods Blues Festival, I assume? They always did an awesome job with that show.
