Alvin Lee - Ten Years After

 L.A. Times obit

At the Woodstock music festival in 1969, the British blues-rock band Ten Years After burst onto the U.S. music scene with a searing rendition of "I'm Going Home" featuring the fleet-fingered Alvin Lee whaling away on guitar. When the "Woodstock" documentary was released the next year, the band's 11-minute version of the song — and Lee's guitar virtuosity — were regarded as a highlight. His speedy, taut playing would earn him the unofficial title of "the fastest guitar in the West."
