Jan 22, 2020 · It was getting dark by the time Ten Years After took the stage at Woodstock back in 1969. The rain had come bucketing down mid-way through the afternoon, just as they’d been about to go on, drenching the stage and turning the site into a quagmire. The audience – variously estimated at between 350,000 and 500,000 – was wet, chilled and ...

England didn’t fall under the thrall of hippie ideals in quite the same way that America did. It wasn’t immersed in a war that its citizens didn’t understand, wasn’t being forced to alter its nationwide course for a better destination by the civil rights movement, and was still desperately trying to recover from the rapid three punch economic knock...
Born on the 20th October 1945, Ric Lee spent the early years of his life chasing the same girl and indulging in the same ribald pastimes and pleasures as the rest of his friends and schoolmates did. Life was far simpler in the nineteen forties and fifties, and you made the most of whatever came your way, whenever it came your way, two lessons that ...
The Jaybirds soon realized that if they were going to go anywhere, they needed to move to the place where everything was happening, and in nineteen sixty-six, they packed their bags and left Mansfield and Nottinghamshire in their rearview mirror and headed for the bright lights of London. Around the time that they made the move, their then road man...
Despite the popular rock and roll myth that Leo Lyons found the band’s name in a magazine advert that was aimed at reminding the public that it had been ten years since the Suez Crisis, Ten Years After actually owe their name to the King of Rock and Roll , Elvis Presley. Alvin Lee and Leo Lyons were huge Elvis fans and credited him as being their i...
With their new name, the band began to create their own mythology and legacy, unburdened by the chains of their prior life in Nottingham. As soon as they started playing, they began to attract the sort of attention that The Jaybirds hadn’t been able to, and Ten Years After became the first band to be signed by the agency that would later adopt the ...
Having laid the foundation that they needed to with their first album, nineteen sixty-eight saw Ten Years After finally leave the shores of their home country, and after releasing their second album, a live record called Undead that featured the first version of one of the songs that would later become synonymous withI’m Going Home, the band toured...
According to Ric Lee, when Ten Years After was originally asked to play Woodstocktheir management turned the offer down. The money wasn’t right and the band was pulling in great crowds playing with Nina Simone. Then the buzz about the show in upstate New York, which was supposed to be the biggest the world had ever seen started to happen, and the b...
In the years following Woodstock, Ten Years after adopted a punishing recording and touring schedule that saw them release their only UK hit, and the first record in history on which he A and B sides were deliberately designed to be played at different speeds, Love Like A Man in nineteen seventy and their biggest charting and selling single, I’d Lo...
After nine years apart, Ten Years After (mistiming things by a year), briefly reunited in nineteen eighty-three to play the Reading Festival and The Marquee’s Twenty-Fifth Anniversary, with Ric assuming full management responsibility as well as playing the drums for the band. In his time away from the spotlight, Ric had launched his own Management,...
Ric Lee, as we mentioned earlier, learned at an incredibly young age to never let an opportunity pass him by, and since he first sat behind a kit when he was still in school, he’s never stopped playing. And in likelihood, he probably never will. When John Bonham died in ninety eighty before they decided to end the band out of respect for their fall...
