The rest of the band was up for it, though, and together with guitarist Joe Gooch, Ten Years After started touring again. He approached Alvin Lee about getting back together to promote the lost album, but Alvin declined.
In 2001, Ric Lee was preparing the back catalog for re-release when he discovered the Live at the Fillmore East 1970 tapes. They reunited in 1988 for concerts in Europe and recorded their first new album in 15 years, About Time, in 1989 before disbanding once again. Subsequent efforts in that direction were less successful, however, and Ten Years After split up after the release of Positive Vibrations in 1974. Watt completed the group's Decca contract, after which they signed with Columbia and moved in a more mainstream pop direction, typified by the gold-selling 1971 album A Space in Time and its Top 40 single, "I'd Love to Change the World." Top 20, and Cricklewood Green, containing the hit single "Love Like a Man," reached number four. breakthrough came as a result of their appearance at Woodstock, at which they played a nine-minute version of "I'm Going Home." Their next album, Ssssh, reached the U.S. Their first album was not a success, but their second, the live Undead (1968) containing "I'm Going Home," a six-minute blues workout by the fleet-fingered Alvin, hit the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. The group was formed in 1967 and signed to Decca in England. British blues-rock quartet Ten Years After originally consisted of Alvin Lee (born December 19, 1944, died March 6, 2013), guitar and vocals Chick Churchill (born January 2, 1949), keyboards Leo Lyons (born November 30, 1944) bass and Ric Lee (born October 20, 1945), drums.
