Rating: In 1968, "Ten Years After" decided to give their fans the chance to listen to the group in live recordings, where it was well known they gave their best, especially the prodigy guitarist Alvin Lee. They released the live album "Undead," containing 5 unreleased tracks played at "Klooks Kleek," in West Hampstead (London), in May.
The first, "I May Be Wrong, But I Won't Be Wrong Always," is a rock and roll mixed with boogie written by all four musicians, lasting over 9 minutes. You can then understand that the song will be full of extended guitar, organ, and bass solos. It is followed by "At The Woodchoppers' Ball," a cover played on the same musical grounds and, as usual, in a frenetic and impeccable manner for a good 7 minutes total.
"Spider In My Web," written by Alvin Lee, on the other hand, exudes blues from every note of its 7-minute composition. Note the presence of a solo so fast it makes you want to stop playing the guitar. Then comes another cover, "Summertime," which, however, is just an intro for a drum solo by Ric Lee called "Shantung Cabbage," which is of excellent craftsmanship. The album closes with the very famous "I'm Going Home" which is unnecessary to describe as everyone should remember it being played at Woodstock. The only difference is the shorter duration (about 6 minutes).
From listening to this album (played impeccably and recorded even better), one can deduce that the members of the group were all excellent musicians and not just Alvin Lee, as unfortunately emerges from the studio albums. In fact, in this concert, each of them finds the space to express themselves, creating a musical mix that best represents the essence of the early "Ten Years After", among blues, boogie, and old-fashioned rock and roll.
Recommended for lovers of the genre.

03 Spider in My Web (07:37)
I'm a spider in my web, I'm just waiting to catch a fly
Spider in my web, baby, sitting and waiting to catch a fly
Sitting in my web, darlin', just waiting for you to pass me by
Sitting here, darlin', sitting here all alone
I'm sitting here, baby, sitting all alone
Baby, when I catch you, I'm gonna take you to my home
My web isn't very sticky
Pretty soon, you should know
Baby, when I catch you, I will never let you go
Spider in my web , darlin', I'm waiting to catch a fly
Sitting in my web, baby, waiting for you to pass me by

Spider in my web, and I'm waiting to catch a fly
Sitting in my web, darlin', waiting for you to pass my by
