Ten Years After were happy to be a moderately successful, album-oriented blues-rock band. But when their legendary performance at Woodstock became immortalized on film, and the pop-oriented direction pushed by their new label Columbia Records produced an instant classic, I’d Love to Change the World, they were thrown into fame and stardom
This was too much for their singer and lead guitarist Alvin Lee, who left the band for more modest and artistic things. But he couldn’t resist returning to the fold more often than not, over the next thirty years.
Oh, and the name? They were big fans of Elvis, and formed their band ten years after Presley made it big.
