steve <tya71@bellatlantic.net> -- 04/30/98 -- 07:19:51I first heard TYA in 1969[I was 14 then] and the first time I saw them was at The Filmore East on April 20, 1971.[I still got the ticket stub. The last time I saw Alvin was 1994 at a small joint in New Jersey called Club Bene. That's where a lot of yesteryear guitar greats play. A few of who I saw: Rory Gallagher[hi Judi~], Robin Trower, Johnny Winter, Leslie West etc...Anyway back to one of if not the best guitar players around,Mr. A. LEE . When I saw him at Club Bene, after the show a bunch of us hung around outside for about a half hour or so and rapped with him. I even got him to sign two autographs for me. One on a piece of paper and another on one of his shirts I bought[Am I suppose to still act that way at 39 yrs old in 94.F---ing "A" I am.] There is one thing that bummed me out was, I never heard him play "Spider In My Web" or "Me And My Baby". Oh well. Anyway, A.Lee,Rory G. and SRV thanks for the memories. ROCK ON!!! Gary Bear <BeachBlues@AOL.COM> -- 04/29/98 -- 12:12:11Ten Years After Rule !!!! Always have and always will !!!!

A great concert! I listen to Ten Years After in early seventies. And man, do I like them??? WOW!! dominique <chauvied@aol.com> -- 04/26/98 -- 01:25:48quand une nouvelle rournée en france? Joe bronstein <brony61@aol.com> -- 04/25/98 -- 22:00:37I first saw Alvin in NJ at Upsulla college in 1979.I've seen him over twenty times ,but the best concert was in Philly when Alvin and Mick Taylor blew away Black Sabbath in the eighties(when Dio was in Sabbath). Ran <ran@mindless.com> -- 04/25/98 -- 13:59:09I was interduced to Alvin's divine guitar playing when I watched the Woodstock video - it left me stunned!! Soon I got the "Pure Blues" album and it was even better... I'd like to recieve recomendations from all of you Alvin Lee/Ten Years After fans on which album I should get next. Thanks Ran. album I should get next Frank DeChino <pasta48@aol.com> -- 04/23/98 -- 19:37:26Dear Mr. Alvin Lee, I've been a fan since Filmore East circa 1968. I have enjoyed you at least thirty times in concert. The last time I saw you was on your About Time tour in NYC. I used to wait at the Filmore East when the show was over. You guys always came out and got in the limo, and we waited to try to talk to you. But when you came out and we saw you, I was star struck; when I opened my mouth, nothing came out. I saw you again at the airport in Canada after the Strawberry Fields Festival and still couldn't talk! Your voice has gotten deeper over the years; you sound better than ever. When you and the band are in the NY/NJ area, contact me. We'll make you dinner and serve your preferred libation. I just hit 50 in March and I hope the last voice I hear is yours. Love ya'. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Frank L. DeChino. Frank DeChino <pasta48@aol.com> -- 04/21/98 -- 20:12:32Alvin, I saw you in 1968 at the Filmore East. It was an English concert with John Mayall. I have been a fan since then. I saw you at the Filmore West, I saw you in NY in around 1990 in the About Time tour. I've seen you about thirty times. I look forward to seeing you again. If you're ever in the NJ area, email me and you and the boys can come over for dinner and a beer or two or three. Maybe we'll have a spot of tea. Your voice has gotten deeper; it sounds great. Keep up the good work. Love ya', Frank. Chris <catamaran77@yahoo.com> -- 04/20/98 -- 19:23:47Dude, I'm 21, I just heard your music today. You Rock. If you come to the NY NJ area I'll see you. Please E-mail me. C John Scherbak < johns@inetnebr.com> -- 04/20/98 -- 11:58:26Great Web. Site ! CHRISTER BRAGSTAD <NOR.@.FRT.LPO.> -- 04/20/98 -- 03:34:31You are an incredable gutarist. I love your old albums. Liked your show at the Isle of Wrigth Festival-----the coolest show ever. I was so gone on ANGELDUST at that moment, and it was the greatest show EVER--thanks Pat H. <etipat@aol.com> -- 04/17/98 -- 11:10:11Still cooking. Love the site, great information. Keep it up! Benny Pitz <None> -- 04/13/98 -- 10:47:07You Rock Man! Smokin' A J On the 50 yardline listening to Ten Years After. David Naylor <oicu812@junction.net> -- 04/07/98 -- 15:50:50Since I couldn't seem to login to your survey site I'll cast my vote here...my answer to you and your band Ten Years After being voted into the rock hall of fame is an unequivacle YES!!! Having grown up with your music, it's of my opinion that you were and still are the greatest guitarist I've yet to hear. I have all of your albums from Cricklewood Green on up, and I've yet to tire of listening to them. If by some quirk of fate you read this think seriously about a concert in Kamloops British Columbia. We would love to hear your sound again live, and I speak for every Rock'n'Roll fan from here to Vancouver. I'm 34yrs old now, but my first true experience with a girl at the age of 14yrs old was was mutiplied many times with the sound of your voice and the exceedingly prowess of your guitar playing in the background. It's a memory I'll never forget nor want to. Peace to you Alvin; Sincerely David Naylor. Heiko Gross <henrygro@hotmail.com> -- 04/01/98 -- 10:00:04My Dad showed me 5 years ago a tape of Ten Years After. And I start to listen more often to Ten Years After. 2 years ago I started playing guitar and now I'm learning so much I can from Alvin Lee. My favourite song is "Love like a man" but all the other are pretty damn good. I hope you guys come to Germany after June, 98. Because I'm right now an exchange student in Kansas. Kansas is sucks. But I have my Gibson here and practice alot. Thanks for your good tabs. Sharon <scotone@bellsouth.net> -- 03/31/98 -- 20:38:08I was first introduced to TYA by friends who had just returned from serving in Thailand. The songs on Positive Vibrations meant so much to them and through them to me. Even today when I listen the words ring so true to the past and the present.Maybe the hall of fame would be a great accomplishment and honor, but I think the real accomplishment is that through their music they helped some guys who saw some really bad things to maintain and give themselves some "Positive Vibrations". Carry on guys. thomas thornhill <tomthorn@flash.net> -- 03/28/98 -- 16:47:19i have every album , seen alvin many many times have shook his hand and learned some of his songs on guitar , i have four of his guitar picks he gave me , to me he is the very best rock and roll guitar player ever . no kidding i just may be his biggest fan , Keep on rockin !!! DENNIS VOHS <DLVOHS@VAX1.BEMIDJI.MSUS.EDU> -- 03/25/98 -- 07:48:47ALVIN LEE AND COMPANY ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i need a space in time love tya D. Rascoe <roscoe@essex1.com> -- 03/23/98 -- 17:32:2945 yrs. old. been a TYA and alvin fan for alotta years. Personally, I think "Undead" was the finest!! Any chance of ever seeing Alvin @ buddy Guy's Legends in Chicago? Only 100 miles away from me and I would give ANYTHING to see Alvin and Buddy do a set together. Needless to say I'm also big Buddy Guy fan! Guess the GREATS in the LEGENDS class gottoa go together!! Peace! Chris Hoyt <chh@securedoc.com> -- 03/17/98 -- 10:02:07My brother turned me on to Ten Years After when he returned from Vietnam. The first album I heard and still have today was the incomparable "Cricklewood Green." Man, I wish they would go on tour in Florida. What a band! Curly Bill Bruehl <curlybil@conch.net> -- 03/10/98 -- 10:29:33We want a' ROCK! When are you coming to the Southern Florida Keys Or South Florida. I saw you in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania a long time back. It might have been with Dr. John. I think the early '70s. I'd like another chance to hear you play. Later man, keep on Rockin'! Jim Sheridan <jimsheridan@yahoo.com> -- 03/08/98 -- 12:52:57Great site!! Does anyone have any tapes from the ALvin Lee/Mick Taylor 1981 tour to trade? I have one, Paris 12/11/81 I thin is the date. Has anyone heard the version of "I'm Goin' Home" by Zephyr on Zephyr: Live yet? Outstanding!!!! Jim joe <joeytg@aol.com> -- 03/05/98 -- 10:57:25Great sight!! Didn't realize there were so many TYA/AL fans out there. Hi all! Saw TYA reunion concert at the old,uptown ritz in NYC around '85. Then caught AL late '80's at a small club in Asbury Park, NJ. Both shows were totally awesome. Still a huge fan. Anyone know where i can get '73 On The Road To Freedom" with alvin & mylon Le Fevre album. Lost it years ago. Please email with any info. Thanks!! Marilyn Ponzio <mponzio@cherrycorp.com> -- 03/04/98 -- 10:33:11My husband is a great fan of tya and would love to know when they will tour the chicagoland area. We've tried to see Alvin Lee twice, and both shows were cancelled (Hartford, Wi & Chicago). He's quite anxious for me to experience Alvin Lee. jaap looman <joker@globalxs.nl> -- 03/02/98 -- 12:11:01Tya is the greatest band on earth! i'm 25 yr and my friends think i'm crazy when i listen to that "old"music ,but if i let them listen to tya they also want a cd!! I hope to meet more fans (e-mail) see you THE JOKER John Cutrone <john_cutrone@juno.com> -- 03/01/98 -- 10:51:40SsssssssHHHHHHHHHHH Paul <paul sylvain@worldnet.att.net> -- 02/28/98 -- 20:25:26I first saw Alvin Lee and TYA at London's Royal Albert Hall in early May 1969, where they appeared with Jethro Tull and an unknown and long-since forgotten band called Clouds. As a guitar player in my own right, I was blown away. I was fortunate to see the band four more times between then and March 1973, all in Berlin, Germany. The concerts included the Berlin Superfest, which featured TYA with: Procol Harem, when Robin Trower was with the group; Canned Heat, on the same day they found Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson dead in California; and Jimi Hendrix, in what proved to be Jimi's last "live" concert. The group was always a class act, taking time to acknowledge their fans. Some years later, as a working reporter with a Maine daily newspaper, I met Alvin backstage before an appearance at Bangor Auditorium. He was heading Ten Years Later, then, and the audience was small. But Alvin and crew came out and burned the house down. I've played guitar for more than 30 years now and Alvin's influence on my style is hard to miss. Only a handful of guitarists have ever made me stop and take notice, and Alvin stands at the head of the class. He is truly an original. Alvin and TYA deserve induction in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. They've paid their dues and their influence on a generation of blues-based rockers cannot be overlooked. Rock On. Jim SHeridan <jimsheridan@yahoo.com> -- 02/28/98 -- 20:23:35 ANyone who likes Ten Years After should check out the CD "ZEPHYR: LIVE" - it features the very amazing Tommy Bolin who does apretty great "I'm Going Home." His playing on "LIVE AT EBBETS FIELD 1974" is amazing too. I see a lot of similarities between his playing and ALvin Lee's at that point. Any Bolin fans out there? Steve Kirkpatrick <skirk456@aol.com> -- 02/26/98 -- 13:44:32TYA should definately be in the R & R Hall of Fame. Great songwriting, great playing. I rank "A Space In Time" as one of the all time great albums put out at that time. Owen O'Connor <ooconnor@hotmail.com> -- 02/24/98 -- 04:41:50Did you know that Alvin Lee guested on the Jerry Lee Lewis London Sessions album. The musical director was Albert Lee visit the unofficial Albert Lee site at http://homepage.tinet.ie/~johnwoconnor/albertlee Dave rennolds <DRennolds@aol.com> -- 02/22/98 -- 04:55:14I saw TYA 29 years ago. Nobody has the technical ability of Alvin Lee, Clapton is sweet and Hendrix was weird but none can play like Alvin Lee. Vincent L. <vlaberge@yahoo.com> -- 02/16/98 -- 14:14:18I LOVE TYA AND I WOULD LOVE TO FIND THE FOLLOWING ALBUMS: 1)LET IT ROCK 2) ROCKET FUEL 3)ON THE ROAD TO FREEDOM 4) IN FLIGHT IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS ANY OF THESE ALBUMS AND WOULD BE WILLING TO MAKE A COPY FOR ME THAT WOULD BE GREAT. OTHERWISE IF ANYONE CAN TELL ME HOW TO GET A HOLD OF THEM, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. MY FAVORITE ALBUM IS ROCK & ROLL MUSIC TO THE WORLD, AND I LOVE POSITIVE VIBRATIONS TOO........HELL EVERY ALBUM ROCKS. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE TEN YEARS AFTER IN WINNIPEG BUT IT PROBABLY WON'T HAPPEN, BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO. Peter <tay911@erols.com> -- 02/15/98 -- 13:49:37Alvin Lee should definetly be in the Hall of Fame. He's still one of the faster players alive. But the notes just arn't fast, they have emotion. Not just "look how fast I play". I'd love to see him do Crossroads, thats right up his ally. There just arn't to many like him, great guitarist and singer. I think that gets over looked. He sings his ass off sometimes. Nice site and the Tab for going Home is great. Im a guitarist and have been in a band for years. Ive messed with the song but never got it quite right. Thanks for the forem. Im Going Home. Pete dominique <chauvied@msn.com> -- 02/14/98 -- 03:20:45quand une tournée en france??? MERCI steve serico <sserico@eden.rutgers.edu> -- 02/11/98 -- 09:43:24Alvin lee Rocks!!!!!

Alexis <boblex@cobweb.net> -- 02/09/98 -- 10:08:10Alvin Lee & Ten Years After are by far one of my favorite bands to some out of the 60's and 70's....to all you other ladies out there....if you haven't seen them doing I'm Goin' Home at Woodstock check it out......Alvin was so totally sexy back then....and Im sure he still is! Ten Years After Rock! PAUL GRANDE <pgrande@motown.lmco.com> -- 02/09/98 -- 09:58:10I have all of Alvins LP's & CD's. I saw Him several times. I saw Ten Year's After at the Philadelphia Spectrum, The Ripley in Philadelphia, and the Bradywine Club in Bradywine Pa. I've always enjoyed his music. I've got at least six different versions of I'm Going Home. I hope they come to the Pennsylania or New Jersey area in the future. Thanks, Paul Grande Frank Charles <frankc4@ix.netcom.com> -- 02/08/98 -- 14:25:50Toni, your the greatest! This club is where all Alvin's fans should unite. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication and to all who visit, please join and take part. This is a labor of love and freedom. Bill Gillam <bgillam@pacbell.net> -- 02/06/98 -- 20:43:07Love the site! Can I ask a question? I have kept my eyes open for years for the CD release of On the Road to Freedom with Mylon Lefevre (Hope I got the spelling correct) Has this ever been released? I would dearly love to have it! Rick <raiderrrd@aol.com> -- 02/01/98 -- 23:01:43Can anyone tell me how to get the In Flight CD. I'm not able to find it anywhere.Alvin ROCKS always has always will. Look foward to a U.S. tour. We MISS YOU ALVIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Justin Larsen <stlarsen@Gte,net> -- 01/31/98 -- 20:13:42Alvin Lee is one of the greatest guitarists I have ever heard in my life and it is about time I see his name on something. Frank Charles <frankc4@ix.netcom.com> -- 01/31/98 -- 03:07:05Alvin Lee is my all time favorite performer. A pure class experience that will leave you stomping your feet for more. And now that I am up on the web at home I will be stomping my keyboard, talking it up on the Discussion. Take part, learn and enjoy. There's a lot of great things happening and Alvin's going to ROCK this web! TYA Together Your Awesome Vinny Holland <vjsports@cloud9.net> -- 01/30/98 -- 17:27:29I've been a longtime fan of Alvin Lee and Ten Years After. Saw them in concert in the early 70's in the NYC area 3 times. The best was a soccer field in the Bronx called Gallic Park at the height of his I'm Going Home days. My first good guitar was an ES335 in homage to Alvin Lee. Unfortunately I'm as slow as molasses (Unlike Alvin) on guitar but that leads me to the rest of the blues. Jim Sheridan <jimsheridan@yahoo.com> -- 01/29/98 -- 20:24:22DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A BROADCAST FROM THE 1981 ALVIN LEE/MICK TAYLOR TOUR? I HAVE A ROUGH TAPE OF THEM FROM ITALY BUT YOU FAN TELL IT'S AWESOME - I'D LOVE TO HEAR MORE - THEY SHOULD RELEASE IT!!!!!!!! Cyndi <CYNROCK@aol.com> -- 01/29/98 -- 18:23:12Hey Looking forward to the tour in 98 ~ be sure to stop into Northern Michigan~ was a great time last time we had you here!!!!! Chris Pappas <CPappas399@AOL> -- 01/28/98 -- 19:31:58Iused to say it was the choosen people who knew thatAlvin Lee was the best.But now that I see what is happening to this club I see it is everyone around the world who knows.It is just the beginning.

Matt Sutton <matt@atinet.com.au> -- 01/23/98 -- 23:04:57Thank you Alvin Lee for giving me and my friends the best years of your life. Through your music and guitar you have touched so many people. You are one in a trillion. Thank God for Alvin Lee, and the boys of Ten Years After, and other band members over the years. One of my dreams is to one day met you and possible play beside you, in your shadow of course. Thanks mate for everything you've done, You are just a great guy, performer, guitarist, singer/songwriter. PLEASE COME TO AUSTRALIA....IT'S A GREAT PLACE AND THERE ARE MANY TYA FANS JUST WAITING TO SEE YOU LIVE....Ron, the new manager, please hear me calling!! Please come to Australia...!! Thank you Alvin Lee... Bill Jacobs <stead@clunet.edu> -- 01/23/98 -- 16:32:42I think Alvin is cool. He is my dads HERO. HE wakes up every morning and screams ALVIN,and then plays the air guitar.He took me and my friends to see him at the ventura theatre it was a great show. We also belong to the fan mail. You are doing a good job. Bluewolf <Bluewolf2u@hotmail.com> -- 01/23/98 -- 15:13:49Alvin Lee is truly among the best that's ever been. dave tilghman <dwt5428@aol.com> -- 01/21/98 -- 09:41:11tya is one of the best by far. i,ve been a fan since 1968. i worked at the Syndrome in 1970 {chicago} when they played there and have seen the band at least 10 times.

The first time I saw them live in 1970 and have seen them 4 times since. Alvin just blew me away. JEAN-MARC NEVEU <louisen @ nbnet.nb.ca> -- 01/16/98 -- 15:09:46ALVIN IS STILL THE BEST. KEEP ON ROCKING YOUNG MAN. jim Smith <videorock@aol.com> -- 01/16/98 -- 09:55:27As a fan for many years, I am happy to have found a home page to one of the most overlooked blues guitarists. I live in NY and first caught TYA in the woodstock film and was totally blown away by his performance. I saw TYA's last performance at the Fillmore East. I saw them perform at Madison Square Garden where I sat in the Orchestra. There was a giant video screen above the band showing closeups during the performance. I also saw them perform at , I think it was called Roosevelt Field in the Bronx. And lastly I saw Alvin Lee & company at the Accademy of music oor whatever the venue was named at the time on 14th street in NYC. While I'd Love To Change The world is one of my favorite LP's, I believe SHHHHHH and notabally Two time Mamma is a gem of an album. Stone Temple Piolets and Alice in Chains quite possibly listened to that album. And if it's the blues you want Undead ant their version of" good morning little schoolgirl is a killer. If anyone has Tab from SHHHHH e-mail me.TYA should be featured in the Guitar Mags John <john.fietkiewicz@snet.net> -- 01/13/98 -- 15:42:00I think alvin Lee Rocks. I am working on a classic rock and blues site and have inclued this site as one of my links. Because my site is devoted to my favorit classic rock and blues people and Alvin Lee and ten year after is one of them.If you get a moment please stop by my place. It's not much but it's my home. PEACE. :-) Rick Diedrick <raiderrrd@aol.com> -- 01/12/98 -- 00:52:35I have been a fan of Alvin/TYA from way back to the Winterland days. I look foward to when he tours the bay area again. Hans Dubbeld <hans.dubbeld@pi.net> -- 01/09/98 -- 13:26:19It's great to visit the Alvin Lee site. I'm still hoping to see Alvin live in Holland once. My friends son (his name is Alvin (Dirksen)!!)plays the guitar like hell and the best thing that could happen is that Alvin Lee and Alvin Dirsen could play together the blues. Best regards, Hans Emu Master <emu@hotmail.com> -- 01/08/98 -- 09:09:06I am job John R.

The concerts included the Berlin Superfest, which featured TYA with: Procol Harem, when Robin Trower was with the group; Canned Heat, on the same day they found Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson dead in California; and Jimi Hendrix, in what proved to be Jimi's last "live" concert. The group was always a class act, taking time to acknowledge their fans. Some years later, as a working reporter with a Maine daily newspaper, I met Alvin backstage before an appearance at Bangor Auditorium. He was heading Ten Years Later, then, and the audience was small. But Alvin and crew came out and burned the house down. I've played guitar for more than 30 years now and Alvin's influence on my style is hard to miss. Only a handful of guitarists have ever made me stop and take notice, and Alvin stands at the head of the class. He is truly an original. Alvin and TYA deserve induction in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. They've paid their dues and their influence on a generation of blues-based rockers cannot be overlooked. Rock On. Jim SHeridan <jimsheridan@yahoo.com> -- 02/28/98 -- 20:23:35 ANyone who likes Ten Years After should check out the CD "ZEPHYR: LIVE" - it features the very amazing Tommy Bolin who does apretty great "I'm Going Home." His playing on "LIVE AT EBBETS FIELD 1974" is amazing too. I see a lot of similarities between his playing and ALvin Lee's at that point. Any Bolin fans out there? Steve Kirkpatrick <skirk456@aol.com> -- 02/26/98 -- 13:44:32TYA should definately be in the R & R Hall of Fame. Great songwriting, great playing. I rank "A Space In Time" as one of the all time great albums put out at that time. Owen O'Connor <ooconnor@hotmail.com> -- 02/24/98 -- 04:41:50Did you know that Alvin Lee guested on the Jerry Lee Lewis London Sessions album. The musical director was Albert Lee visit the unofficial Albert Lee site at http://homepage.tinet.ie/~johnwoconnor/albertlee Dave rennolds <DRennolds@aol.com> -- 02/22/98 -- 04:55:14I saw TYA 29 years ago. Nobody has the technical ability of Alvin Lee, Clapton is sweet and Hendrix was weird but none can play like Alvin Lee. Vincent L. <vlaberge@yahoo.com> -- 02/16/98 -- 14:14:18I LOVE TYA AND I WOULD LOVE TO FIND THE FOLLOWING ALBUMS: 1)LET IT ROCK 2) ROCKET FUEL 3)ON THE ROAD TO FREEDOM 4) IN FLIGHT IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS ANY OF THESE ALBUMS AND WOULD BE WILLING TO MAKE A COPY FOR ME THAT WOULD BE GREAT. OTHERWISE IF ANYONE CAN TELL ME HOW TO GET A HOLD OF THEM, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. MY FAVORITE ALBUM IS ROCK & ROLL MUSIC TO THE WORLD, AND I LOVE POSITIVE VIBRATIONS TOO........HELL EVERY ALBUM ROCKS. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE TEN YEARS AFTER IN WINNIPEG BUT IT PROBABLY WON'T HAPPEN, BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO. Peter <tay911@erols.com> -- 02/15/98 -- 13:49:37Alvin Lee should definetly be in the Hall of Fame. He's still one of the faster players alive. But the notes just arn't fast, they have emotion. Not just "look how fast I play". I'd love to see him do Crossroads, thats right up his ally. There just arn't to many like him, great guitarist and singer. I think that gets over looked. He sings his ass off sometimes. Nice site and the Tab for going Home is great. Im a guitarist and have been in a band for years. Ive messed with the song but never got it quite right. Thanks for the forem. Im Going Home. Pete dominique <chauvied@msn.com> -- 02/14/98 -- 03:20:45quand une tournée en france??? MERCI steve serico <sserico@eden.rutgers.edu> -- 02/11/98 -- 09:43:24Alvin lee Rocks!!!!!

Ten Years After Rock! PAUL GRANDE <pgrande@motown.lmco.com> -- 02/09/98 -- 09:58:10I have all of Alvins LP's & CD's. I saw Him several times. I saw Ten Year's After at the Philadelphia Spectrum, The Ripley in Philadelphia, and the Bradywine Club in Bradywine Pa. I've always enjoyed his music. I've got at least six different versions of I'm Going Home. I hope they come to the Pennsylania or New Jersey area in the future. Thanks, Paul Grande Frank Charles <frankc4@ix.netcom.com> -- 02/08/98 -- 14:25:50Toni, your the greatest! This club is where all Alvin's fans should unite. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication and to all who visit, please join and take part. This is a labor of love and freedom. Bill Gillam <bgillam@pacbell.net> -- 02/06/98 -- 20:43:07Love the site! Can I ask a question? I have kept my eyes open for years for the CD release of On the Road to Freedom with Mylon Lefevre (Hope I got the spelling correct) Has this ever been released? I would dearly love to have it! Rick <raiderrrd@aol.com> -- 02/01/98 -- 23:01:43Can anyone tell me how to get the In Flight CD. I'm not able to find it anywhere.Alvin ROCKS always has always will. Look foward to a U.S. tour. We MISS YOU ALVIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Justin Larsen <stlarsen@Gte,net> -- 01/31/98 -- 20:13:42Alvin Lee is one of the greatest guitarists I have ever heard in my life and it is about time I see his name on something. Frank Charles <frankc4@ix.netcom.com> -- 01/31/98 -- 03:07:05Alvin Lee is my all time favorite performer. A pure class experience that will leave you stomping your feet for more. And now that I am up on the web at home I will be stomping my keyboard, talking it up on the Discussion. Take part, learn and enjoy. There's a lot of great things happening and Alvin's going to ROCK this web! TYA Together Your Awesome Vinny Holland <vjsports@cloud9.net> -- 01/30/98 -- 17:27:29I've been a longtime fan of Alvin Lee and Ten Years After. Saw them in concert in the early 70's in the NYC area 3 times. The best was a soccer field in the Bronx called Gallic Park at the height of his I'm Going Home days. My first good guitar was an ES335 in homage to Alvin Lee. Unfortunately I'm as slow as molasses (Unlike Alvin) on guitar but that leads me to the rest of the blues. Jim Sheridan <jimsheridan@yahoo.com> -- 01/29/98 -- 20:24:22DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A BROADCAST FROM THE 1981 ALVIN LEE/MICK TAYLOR TOUR? I HAVE A ROUGH TAPE OF THEM FROM ITALY BUT YOU FAN TELL IT'S AWESOME - I'D LOVE TO HEAR MORE - THEY SHOULD RELEASE IT!!!!!!!!

Edward V. MacNish <XTLT73A@Prodigy.com> -- 01/27/98 -- 21:07:46My tale is in the section "should TYA be in the HOF?"

You are one in a trillion. Thank God for Alvin Lee, and the boys of Ten Years After, and other band members over the years.

Bluewolf <Bluewolf2u@hotmail.com> -- 01/23/98 -- 15:13:49Alvin Lee is truly among the best that's ever been. dave tilghman <dwt5428@aol.com> -- 01/21/98 -- 09:41:11tya is one of the best by far. i,ve been a fan since 1968. i worked at the Syndrome in 1970 {chicago} when they played there and have seen the band at least 10 times.

The first time I saw them live in 1970 and have seen them 4 times since. Alvin just blew me away. JEAN-MARC NEVEU <louisen @ nbnet.nb.ca> -- 01/16/98 -- 15:09:46ALVIN IS STILL THE BEST. KEEP ON ROCKING YOUNG MAN. jim Smith <videorock@aol.com> -- 01/16/98 -- 09:55:27As a fan for many years, I am happy to have found a home page to one of the most overlooked blues guitarists. I live in NY and first caught TYA in the woodstock film and was totally blown away by his performance. I saw TYA's last performance at the Fillmore East. I saw them perform at Madison Square Garden where I sat in the Orchestra. There was a giant video screen above the band showing closeups during the performance. I also saw them perform at , I think it was called Roosevelt Field in the Bronx. And lastly I saw Alvin Lee & company at the Accademy of music oor whatever the venue was named at the time on 14th street in NYC. While I'd Love To Change The world is one of my favorite LP's, I believe SHHHHHH and notabally Two time Mamma is a gem of an album. Stone Temple Piolets and Alice in Chains quite possibly listened to that album. And if it's the blues you want Undead ant their version of" good morning little schoolgirl is a killer. If anyone has Tab from SHHHHH e-mail me.TYA should be featured in the Guitar Mags John <john.fietkiewicz@snet.net> -- 01/13/98 -- 15:42:00I think alvin Lee Rocks. I am working on a classic rock and blues site and have inclued this site as one of my links. Because my site is devoted to my favorit classic rock and blues people and Alvin Lee and ten year after is one of them.If you get a moment please stop by my place. It's not much but it's my home. PEACE. :-) Rick Diedrick <raiderrrd@aol.com> -- 01/12/98 -- 00:52:35I have been a fan of Alvin/TYA from way back to the Winterland days. I look foward to when he tours the bay area again. Hans Dubbeld <hans.dubbeld@pi.net> -- 01/09/98 -- 13:26:19It's great to visit the Alvin Lee site. I'm still hoping to see Alvin live in Holland once. My friends son (his name is Alvin (Dirksen)!!)plays the guitar like hell and the best thing that could happen is that Alvin Lee and Alvin Dirsen could play together the blues. Best regards, Hans Emu Master <emu@hotmail.com> -- 01/08/98 -- 09:09:06I am job John R. McCool <McCool@c-gate.net> -- 01/07/98 -- 19:00:18Wonderful site! ken kloag <kklag@cchono.com> -- 01/03/98 -- 13:27:02
