British blues rock great Alvin Lee, a guitarist and singer whose scorching performance at Woodstock propelled his band Ten Years After to wide fame, died on Wednesday of "unforeseen complications" from a routine surgery, family members announced on his website. He was 68.
Real bummer. Saw him twice in the 60s and he knocked me out both times. Under-rated artist stereotyped as a one-trick speed freak, but actually a great performer and technician.
