Summary: Alvin Lee is a great guitarist
Review: After reading Marshal Fine's Review of Alvin Lee's The Best oF Rockpalast, one has to wonder what color the sky is in Marshall's world. Guitar player wannabe, or just plain ornory. Marshal look in the mirror and take a good hard look. Alvin Lee's web page doesn't get 6000 hits a day for him to be monotonous. Dave Miller

Summary: Still Smokin'
Review: Despite Mr. Fine's protestations to the contrary, Alvin Lee was and is a marvelous guitar player and, having been one of the very lucky 500,000 or so to see him mesmorize Woodstock, a fabulous entertainer (virtuosity and mass appeal are not mutually exclusive). This DVD reveals that, despite a slight change in his physical configuration, he's still got the energy and the licks! As a guitarist of some skill and a successful business person I have found that a universal axiom usually applies: Those who can DO, those who can't sit on the sidelines criticising those who are DOING but never get very far...Keep on bendin' those strings Alvin!!

Summary: Alvin Rocks
Review: For those who have only seen the Woodstock footage of Alvin Lee, you're in for a hell of a suprise. What's he been doing all these years since? My guess is practicing, judging by his playing these days. I had the pleasure of opening up for him with my band about 15 years ago at Toads Place in New Haven, CT. We were expecting an old warhorse to creep in and hack away at his old set, us feeling rather sad for the old geez. Instead Alvin and friends showed up and politely handed us our [rears]. They were tight, he was on top of his game, melodic (which suprised the hell out of me) and outstanding, both from a guitar and a vocal perspective. This DVD captures all of that and gives you some insight into why he had and should still have a rep as one of the great blues musicians. Well worth checking out. And if you ever get the chance to see him live, go!!!!

Review: I don't know what this person knows about music, But he probably thinks The Bee Gees made great music. I don't believe he has any business reviewing this Group, or he knows anything about what makes a guitar player.

Summary: High voltage Alvin Lee style!
Review: I for one was left in amazement at the sheer energy of Alvin's performance along with his unique guitar technique and overall charisma. If you love hard driving rock and blues and want to plug in to the power of human emotion and energy delivered "in your face", this DVD is for you. Like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Alvin Lee's style and delivery is about the harnessing of human emotion and energy as opposed to pure technique. After watching this DVD, I was left with the feeling that 90%+ of all guitarists out there can never get in the "zone" Alvin gets into. When it was over, all I could say was "WOW" If you can tune Alvin's energy in and Marshall Fine's comments out, this is a DVD well worth putting in your collection.

Review: I have seen Alvin Lee 11 times over the years live, this DVD is very poorly made, the sound is bad and the video itself is poor.
It is not a complete concert and is kinda boring. The Woodstock DVD has a better" I'm going home" than this . But to have anything with my guitar hero will do. Plus it was made in 1978 so an up dated DVD would be better.

Summary: This DVD is just okay...sort of
Review: I have a laserdisc of TYA I puchased in Japan (released under the name Live Legends and recorded live in the 80s). That one is great, I sure wish they'd release that on DVD. I guess Alvin Lee has become somewhat of a forgotten legend, but TYA was the hottest live band in their day. But don't take my word for it - go buy the Ten Years After Recorded Live CD and see for yourself.
