Woodstock 55th- Carlos Santana, Pete Townshend, Graham Nash
Woodstock Festival fifty-five years ago was unequaled in sheer scale, still heard in the voices of Carlos Santana, Pete Townshend, the late Paul Kantner of the Jefferson Airplane, Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and the late Alvin Lee of Ten Years After, all here In the Studio in part one.
Ten Years After- A Space in Time- the late Alvin Lee, Leo Lyons
"When things get put onto celluloid, they tend to get bigger than life," the late guitarist/ singer Alvin Lee told me by way of explanation as to how Ten Years After was catapulted from the second tier of English boogie and blues by their prime spot in the Woodstock Festival movie documentary. The band utilized that momentum to deliver their most popular album ever in late Summer 1971, " A Space in Time", which included "One of These Days", "Baby Won't You Let Me Rock'n'Roll You", and what turned out to be their biggest hit, "I'd Love to Change the World".
Santana- Abraxas- Carlos Santana, Gregg Rolie, Michael Shrieve
