If you actually spend even a little time looking for it, you will find really amazing stuff.

Saw Alvin Lee and 10 Years after in the early 70's in Tucson Az, in a very small Venue. Close to the front of the stage, felt like I was part of the concert. Yoir reactions are exactly what mine were 50 years ago and they still are. America was trying to get out of Vietnam, pollution was terrible, inflation and corruption were at every level in our government. This song encapsulates what we were feeling from the Woodstock concert forward. Alvin Lee was the fastest and best guitarist of his time.

I find it strange that a mega hit of the early 70's isn't known by some people today and listening to it for the first time. This song was incredibly popular back then and all throughout the last 50 years. It's been used in movies, tv commercials, stadium sporting events, etc... And while some might find it still relevant today, it was even more relevant back then. With the Vietnam war, the Cuban missile crisis, Assassination's of JFK, MLK, RFK, Munich Olympics, Kent State protests, Oil crisis,.. so on and so forth. Things didn't look bright in the early 70's. Members of the Beatles among many other rock Icons, were in the audience when Alvin Lee played live. George Harrison later played on one of his albums.
