TEN YEARS AFTER Oude RAI, Amsterdam, Nederland, 2 Oktober 1971

TEN YEARS AFTER Oude RAI, Amsterdam, Nederland, 2 Oktober 1971

Van de dubbel-LP  “Live In Amsterdam”

Ik kan me dit concert nog wel herinneren, al was ik er niet bij (ik was te jong) maar mijn, iets oudere, zus ging er wel naar toe.
Ik vond Ten Years After geweldig.
Mijn zus had de single I’ m Going Home/ Hear Me Calling en ik had de Woodstock 3 dubbel-Lp en de Woodstock dubbel-lp.

Ik liep tegen deze bootleg-dubbelaar aan, in een tweedehands platenzaak, jaaaaren later.
Tientallen jaren later sprak ik een collega (Martin) op mijn werk, die toentertijd belichter was (in die tijd heette dat nog een spark).
Bleek dat hij één van de Supertroupers bediende tijdens dit concert !

Ik heb hem heel erg blij gemaakt met een cassette van dit concert.
Ik gaf de originele dubbel-lp aan mijn zus, voor haar verjaardag, tien jaar nadat ik hem kocht. Vond ik wel toepasselijk.
Zij was, volgens mij, ook blij.

Deze plaat was de “eerste bootleg” die werd uitgebracht op het World White label

Op    http://www.alvinlee.de/persbootleg.htm staat het volgende te lezen :

Our Comment: This is probably the finest recorded bootleg ever to be put on vinyl. A bootleg is still a bootleg but this one is exceptional in every way. The cover, the presentation, and the fact that they also decided on Ten Years After to be the very first band to be represented on their new record label says it all.

02 No Title,
03 Once There Was A Time,

Before anyone starts screaming that Parts of this concert were released on the official 2lp “Recorded Live”. let me state that is false information.
The official 2lp “Recorded Live” was released in 1973. The track “Help Me “on that album was indeed recorded in Amsterdam but on January 26, 1972 at the Concertgebouw.

Alvin Lee: guitar, vocals
