Ten Years After has been always considered as a huge live act and they have had problems to make as great stuff in the studio. I think that their self-titled debut was nothing but a perfect record, and so is Undead, too. Here they are caught on stage doing excellent numbers from tasty "Spider in My Web" to Alvin Lee´s show-off "I´m Going Home".
Five songs here and every one of these songs are perfect highlights. It´s glad to hear every band member doing solos. Not just Alvin.

Awesome. Ten Years After offers much much more than just Alvin Lee´s furious guitar solos. Undead is maybe the greatest one-disc live-record of all time. If you don´t believe me just listen yourself., recorded live at the small jazz club, Klooks Kleek, in London, May 1968. This album set out to give listeners a real feel to what it was like to hear Ten Years After. Their eponymous first album was bluesy, but less emotional and passionate, and so the band decided to record the album live. The result was a combination of blues, boogie and jazz playing that merged more traditional rock and roll with 1950's-style jump blues. This album became the introduction that many aspiring musicians used as a learning tool to explore beyond rock and pop boundaries and into more improvised stylings.
