I'd Love to Change the World

The quintessential hit of Alvin Lee and 10 Years After that they never play live. Although the lyrics of this song are not "politically correct", this was a big hit in the late 1960's, and is by far the most played song of this band. Alvin Lee and 10 Years After are known for arguably the 2nd best guitarist performance at Woodstock - 2nd only to Jimi Hendrix.
