has changed. Great song, great guitar solo, and it brought back lots of memories.

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you.

Can't recall if it was at the Chicago Stadium or Amphitheater, but after two encores the lights came on but we kept cheering and making noise -- until they turned the lights off and came out for a third encore.

Alvin Lee never quit making great music. One of favorite later works is "Detroit Diesel".



Thanx for reminding me. I might go to Amazon to get a replacement CD for my vinyl copy.
