Default Alvin Lee R.I.P.

Alvin Lee from the band Ten Years After passed away today March 6. His most notable song was I'm Going Home which was recorded at the Woodstock music festival.

Alvin was 68 at the time of his passing. The cause was complications from surgery.

Of all of the highlights of Woodstock "I'm Going Home" was always one of my favorites.

RIP Alvin

I believe between ten years after and Alvin lee as a solo artist, put out over 20 albums since the late 60's. although most remembered for their performance at Woodstock and a couple hits like "I'd love to change the world" and "love like a man" . Which are both great songs. Sad to see he died from complications from routine surgery. At 68. RIP !!!!

One of my all time heroes.

He could do it all, and very well.

RIP.

This was one bad man on a guitar. Out of all the guitar slingers around, to me, he was the best. This hurts me too, as i followed his career since Woodstock. Alvin, you will be missed by me for sure.Rock on
