"Ten Years After...And Then Some"

I just saw the greatest LIVE Rock'n'Roll set (90 mins.) that I have ever seen! In a small venue (Infinity Hall in Norfolk, CT, well-known to all true rock fans), after driving for two hours, I witnessed the band, '10 YEARS AFTER' (with Joe Gooch fronting) levitate an entire building and all of its patrons. Not only did they levitate, they were launched into orbit by four of the best musicians on this planet. I first saw the band at Woodstock in '69. (They played late on Sunday night, early Monday morning before Hendrix immortal set.) Alvin Lee and 'the boys' did their thing and it was fine. I saw them again at the 25th Woodstock reunion concert in '94 and they still had it. But, truthfully, I was never a 'real fan.'

Last night, in a quaint, historic, rock jewel of a venue, I saw the greatest single performance by a four man unit that I have ever experienced. SKIP THAT! THE GREATEST SET EVER!!! I have been in the entertainment business for over four decades. I have seen every great band live (except the Beatles). I saw Springsteen before he was SPRINGSTEEN at Max's KC. Hell, I was a backstage rat at the Fillmore East. I saw The Doors, Allman Brother's, The Stones, Cream, Airplane/Starship, Hendrix' Joplin, Dylan, The Dead, CSNY... all of them. I've seen more festivals (I WAS AT WOODSTOCK!) and amphitheaters than you can shake a stick at featuring hundreds of bands and thousands of hours of music! Good golly, Miss Molly! I saw 'The King,' 'Killer' and Little Richard, too!  BUT, as God is my witness, last night I saw and heard rock'n'roll heaven on earth. THEY WERE THE MUSIC! My only question is, "WHY AREN'T THESE GUYS IN THE HALL OF FAME?! No offense Alvin, but you can surely rest in peace knowing that you have turned over the front to one of greatest guitarists I've ever seen and I've seen them all, Clapton, Page, BB, Walsh, Winter, Jorma, Santana, you name them, I've seen them! Joe Gooch is AMAZING! If you ever get a chance to see this band live, DON'T BLOW IT!  Or, at least pick up a copy of, "Roadworks LIVE!"

(INSIDER HOT TIP: They are playing their last U.S. gig on this tour Monday, 8/25 at the Iridium Room in Manhattan!)

LEO LYONS, RIC LEE, CHICK CHURCHILL AND JOE GOOCH ARE THE BEST THERE IS! (And, maybe ever was!) TEN YEARS AFTER... FOREVER!!! Check them out at www.tenyearsafternow.com
