Alvin Lee at his best!!! This is the same concert known as "Live at the Marquee" which was released long time ago in VHS. The PAL version includes an small B/W documentary as well and has a more functional menu, but the quality of the image is slightly inferior, it seems that the NTSC version was equalized for a better video, audio is the same in both, not audiophile quality, but good enough...Hope this help you guys, this s a must for any TYA fan...

Here is the track list for your information:

1. Love like a man
2. I may be wrong (but I won't be wrong always)
3. Good morning little schoolgirl
4. Help me.
5. Woodshoppers Ball
6. Slow Blues
7. Going Home

BTW Stephen, the review section is not a place to ask questions, and even less rate a top notch concert with one star, which is not accurate at all from your side. If you are interested in knowing what is written on the artwork, or what songs are included, quality of the video, etc...Just an email to any of the sellers may give you far better results, or simply Goggle it...

Having seen TYA four times live plus their turn in the Woodstock flick, I can say that the band was as tight as ever for this gig. Alvin Lee, however, seemed a bit more reserved here(if facial grimaces are any indication)than I recall him earlier. If your an old TYA fan this DVD will not disappoint. If you've never seen or heard of them I'm sure you'll wonder why none of those FM classic,"roots of rock", pseudo-hip stations never play them. Really, how many times do you have to listen to Stairway To Heaven or Freebird in one's lifetime?

This is a repackaged rerelease of an amazing gig that I was at would you believe !
I am always just blown away by there skill, there rifts and being able to jam..
Such a fine fine back.
If you like guitar solo's and amazing key / bass / drum work - you found it !!

For what little footage there is available on the original Ten Years After, (the great Woodstock performance and the shameful footage at the Isle of Wight festival), this is defnitely enjoyable to watch. While it's certainly not Alvin during his heyday of the late 60's and early 70's, Alvin and the band still rocked out. Though at times Alvin appeared tired and bored to me, being a TYA fan since 1969 it was still a genuine thrill to see them perform in a small club setting doing their classic hits from the old days. It's a real tragic shame that Alvin and the rest of the original band members must be struggling with some type of falling out, as Ten Years After did not have any music from their legendary set at Woodstock included in the newly released 6 disc Woodstock box set due to licensing restrictions. The only other 2 also not included were The Band and The Keef Hartley Band. It would have been awesome to have something other than "Going Home" from their Woodstock set.

I am really disappointed in this DVD. Who did they hire to film this show? It had to be a rookie or at the least a non-musician. Had I had known all they were going to film was Alvin Lee's face and his right hand I would have just brought the CD. Alvin Lee is a wonderful guitarist and a great technician and the camera man hardly ever took any body shots of him showing off his versatility on his instrument. He did with the bass player BUT HE WASN'T THE STAR OF THE SHOW!!!! The music was great. TYA was tight. The live show was impressive. I just thought the camera work could have use some improvement.

Alvin and his men (band) are in top form in this reunion concert.
If you like Ten Years After, but never saw them live, this is a good
video to have. We that grew up in the 70's and saw them for like $15.
will have some great memories watching this.

Yea This Is A Great DVD, It Did Not Feel Like The Ten Years After Of Yore, But Hey I Am Not 17 Either Not Anymore, But A Great DVD Alvin Lee Doing Some Clasics Here, If You Were A Fan You Should Love This DVD, Very Well Done, Solid!

An excellent concert of TYA with all the songs which I enjoyed watching. Not to be missed.

I've been a TYA fan since the 1960's. This is TYA at their best. Not so much of the theatrics of the earlier years, but the quality of the performance is as good as it gets. Too bad there is little more than this left of what was one of the definitive bands of the progressive rock era.
