First concert I ever attended. Edgar Winters White Trash opened for them. Lee was on fire playing the guitar.

I saw TYA in 1974, great concert. I put a lot of miles on my A Space in Time and Cricklewood Green 8 tracks back in the day.

My favorite from Alvin Lee is from his solo career. George Harrison plays slide on this one, but this is really Alvin shining.

Great song! One of the earlier ones I learned on guitar...the easy part.

I remember hearing this song as a kid and thinking, "Dykes and fairies?"...they can't say that on the radio. It was scandalous!
Of course, I grew up in a town that forbade the local radio station from playing My Sharona not ten years later.

It's gone all the way past that back to scandalous in the other extreme!

Fun trivia facts: who owns, and plays, Alvin Lee's famous Woodstock Gibson ES-335? Bonus points: What is the guitars nickname?

I saw them in February 1970 for $2.00. Seton Hall University student ticket. My sister got me the tickets, I was 17 at the time. I still have the ticket.

The entire album "A Space In Time" is excellent.

Great song, but Lee hated it and never played it live, even though he wrote it.
