He's goin' home

Wow. RIP.

Bummer!

This is such sad news!
RIP.

Yikes, that sucks. RIP, Mr. Lee.

Sad news indeed. A very good guitar player who doesn't get talke about like a lot of the others from his time. The way he died is a real tragedy if indeed it was supposed to be "routine", which I never consider any medical procedure.

I am sorry to use this language...but...shit!

I am shocked! RIP to another great.

I just barely missed seeing him perform in December. Went to the 2nd Jackshit Christmas show, and he played with them the first night.
R.I.P.

I did not see that one coming. Is it me or has 2012 been especially hard on musicians? Many have been lost over just 2 months.

68 - too young...

I will have to pull out the lp that he did the George Harrison guested on.

When I was a kid my grandfather was friends with a couple who had been doctors. I remember the last time I saw her - after her husband passed on. In normal conversation she stated that her and her husband buried their mistakes. At first I was not really sure what she meant - it was - did she mean...

Yes nearly 50 years later I still remember hearing that...one reason I only go to doctors when necesary. Of course one of my brother-in-laws used to brag about how he hadn't seen a doctor in over 10 years...he no longer brags as he dropped dead with a massive heart attack in his forties.

So you're damned if to do and damned if you don't.

RIP ALvin.

Hate to hear this. I picked up a Ten Years After collection a couple months ago, Think About the Times: Chrysalis Years 1969 - 1972, which was really excellent. I'll have to dig into it again. RIP

Oh no-this came out of nowhere.
He was one of my favorites.
Damn, this one really hurts.

I am so sad today about the world losing Alvin Lee. Having discovered him in the late 60's and with his band Ten Years After band burning down the Woostock stage was a memory I and million others will never forget.

After getting the Woodstock album I wanted to get anything I can on this band. My first album purchase from TYA was "Watt" back in 1971.
Had a poster in my room about the same time of this album.

Of course albums that would follow would be added to my collection.



And if you are starting out and need a great place to begin get this comp:

God Bless you Alvin Lee, you saved me many of tough times thru my teens and twenties. I'm listening to you now my brother as I post this and you are loving me again my dear friend.
Rock in Heaven as you did on Earth. The angels will love it!

I never owned the Woodstock soundtrack until it was reissued three or four years ago, but "I'm Going Home" was one of the main reasons I finally got it. What a performance!

My dad had A Space In Time. He had all this dorky (at least I thought so at the time) music--opera, Kris Kristofferson, John Prine, John Denver--and A Space In Time, Woodstock, and Hey Jude. That was where my love of music started.

This shit happens far more than most know. I lost my 70 year old Father in January after knee replacement surgery. The day after the operation he was cracking jokes and telling the Doctor he wanted to go home. The Doctor told him he could go home the next day. He took a nap and never woke up. My family still does not have an cause of death from the NYC ME office. It's tough. Now the CDC is warning about superbugs......

Just saw this. That really bites, but as our heroes age, it's going to be happening more & more.

Wow, only 70! So sorry to hear about this Mr.Fuse. My condolences to you and family.
I'll tell ya, I don't want anybody to cut me. It's got to be the very last option.
