Seeking Ten Years After song


Anyone know the name of the song where Alvin Lee detunes his lower E string and goes into a savage one-string solo?

I saw him do it live and pretty sure it was on an album.

Bingo!
"Extension on One Chord".

I purchased the "Live at the Fillmore East" album some months ago seeking this song but didn't let the music play long enough (CD 1, track 6, right about the 11 minute mark).

Not to be a pooper but I don't care much for this performance (However, Amazon is rife with five star reviews).
Alvin Lee seems bored and totally "phoning it in".
Also, at the point he detunes his guitar, it sounds like he totally misses his mark (sharp) but plays anyway.

Can one of you compare this version to the "Recorded Live"? Am I right?

The one in my memory was awsome.
Yes, I think old Alvin was a bit of a Primadonna.
I heard it pissed him off when ace bass player, Leo Lyons, would steal the show.

Mlauner: The Woodstock performance is what I'm comparing the Fillmore to (partly). The Fillmore gig is routine and uninspired by comparison.
