As a teenager with a cheap Kay guitar in the late ‘60s, Alvin Lee was one of my guitar heroes.
His Woodstock gig was definitely one of the peaks of that festival.
RIP

That seemed to be the “look” in those days - e.g. Robert Plant, Roger Daltry, Alvin.
And that’s just the guys!!

Had the triple album “Isle of Wight” Festival. “I Can’t Keep From Cryin’” took up a whole side.
I played that record until you could see through it.

was it done in Britain? that could explain a lot. Lee died in Spain where he had been living.

My favorite song by him and so true. RIP Mr. Lee.

First Gary Moore, now Alvin Lee.....Maybe it’s not such a good idea for Brit guitarists to hang out in Spain.

Firstly, he died in Spain.
Secondly, you used the death of a much admired man to a make cheap political point. Have some respect.

Secondly, you used the death of a much admired man to a make cheap political point. Have some respect. No need including me in your comment. I didn't know he died in Spain. And I didn't accuse the NHS of killing him anyway.
Although I agree with you completely that he was much admired. What a wonderful musician. One could feel his guitar playing, feel the soul in it. He was not a technician like many guitarists that are lauded.

You may be thinking of Albert Lee with that Nashville reference. Another great guitar player.
