Alvin Lee Is Going Home: 'Ten Years After' Guitarist Dies

Guitarist Alvin Lee, whose incendiary performance with the British band Ten Years After was one of the highlights of the 1969 Woodstock festival, has died.
A bit of "I'd Love to Change the World"
He was 68. Lee's website says he "passed away early this morning [Wednesday] after unforeseen complications following a routine surgical procedure." An assistant to his daughter also confirmed the news to NPR.
His band's biggest hit — "I'd Love to Change the World" — came a couple years after Woodstock. We'll embed a clip from that.

Oh man, I'm fuckin' bummed! He was one of my personal favs. I saw him in concert 1-1/2 times. The 1/2 was when I got busted for coke in the mens bathroom during intermission.

That guy really knew how to bring it!

RIP Alvin. He was a terrific blues and jazz guitarist with lightning fast runs. Not a bad vocalist either.
