Ten Years After - Played at Woodstock


Ten Years After - Recorded Live.  This is huge - in like three ways.  One, it's a record by an ellusive band in terms of my personal collection.  One very important subset of records in my collection that I am trying to round out is this - to have at least one record by every act that performed at Woodstock.  And B., this records is an acclaimed DLA (double live album), a format I am so very fond of.  And 3., simply put - what an awesome album cover - front and back.  Here they are.  Above is the inner cover and below is the front cover.  Great stuff.


According to available information, TYA, a British prog rock 4 piece heavy rock/blues band came on stage on Sunday, August 17th at about 8.15 pm for their 6-song, one hour set.  The followed Country Joe and the Fish, and were right before The Band came on.  They were known for a heavy mix of Blues Rock and long guitar and drum solos.  What could have been a breakout performance failed due technical reasons: high humidity after tons of rain caused their instruments to be out of tune, the sound recording partially failed, and the camera team was able to only capture the last song of their set: "I'm Going Home."
