They don't play like that anymore.

RIP

I can't believe it, what a bummer!

May Alvin Lee rest in peace, he was indeed a great guitarist.

Good eyes!

Flyjet601 · 8 March 2013, 10:24 AM

What a shock
RIP
A fabulous musician and person gone

What a talent - the Woodstock generation is getting older than we'd like to think...

Brenngun · 8 March 2013, 11:33 AM

Sad to hear. A Space in Time one of my favorite vinyls. I'd love to change the world.

Singslinger · 8 March 2013, 11:39 AM

RIP. Great musician - I grew up listening to Ten Years After.

He's " gone home " ...to be with his "baby" ...the ultimate opening guitar riff heard at stoner parties in the early 70s !

RIP

Cricklewood Green ain't too shabby either.

bscepter · 8 March 2013, 01:25 PM

the guitar lead on "i'd love to change the world" is a great example of the confluence of ability, taste, and tone. it doesn't happen often.

RIP, alvin lee.

luv2fly · 8 March 2013, 01:43 PM

Thanks for posting....great song, he was a phenom on the guitar....RIP

Ashlar38 · 8 March 2013, 03:25 PM

Before I got married years and years ago I shared a place with a buddy. He intro'd me to Alvin Lee esp Cant Stop from RX5 album. My Buddy passed of cancer in 2007 and I always remembered him (good friends are rare y'know) when I heard that particular song. Still the only single I have bought as a single from iTunes.

What a guitarist. RIP.

Limey- · 8 March 2013, 04:54 PM

Saw TYA live a few times. Under rated guitar player for sure. RIP.

Johny · 8 March 2013, 10:47 PM

mxm4233 · 9 March 2013, 01:46 PM

Alvin Lee wouldn't play "I'd Love to Change the World" in any of their concerts. He wanted to stick with the blues. What a magnificent talent, and how sad it is to see these guys go down one at a time. Like losing a piece of your childhood every time.

Kingair · 9 March 2013, 03:59 PM

Have a safe trip home Alvin

gmh1013 · 9 March 2013, 04:45 PM

With all my teenage years great guitar players passing and getting old.....like me... I always think of:
Remember me as you pass by
As you are now, so once was I.
As I am now, you soon will be.
Prepare for death, and think of me

Psmith · 9 March 2013, 06:16 PM

Saw him years ago in the UK - great performance with TYA

RIP
