Ten Years After - "Holy Shit"

From 1972, I hadn't heard this one before. I was never very good at picking out lyrics, so I'm not sure what it's about, but it's a barn burner...

Back then (May '73) a buddy and I went on a road trip. We got to Las Vegas at the time Ten Years After was playing at one of the arenas, so we went to see them. TYA got on stage and started to play and after short time things came to a halt. Turns out the monitor system had failed. After a moment or so Alvin stepped up to the mike and said f**k it and started in on a solo jam that lasted until the problem was solved.

It was fantastic!

Yeah, Alvin wasn't one to lay down his guitar for long.
