In those years there were recordings taken in recitals that the band had offered in cities such as Frankfurt, Amsterdam or Paris, most of them in cassette format with a quality at least frightening, however here there would also be shots of those concerts but recorded in a way professional.
For the recording of this double direct the band would use the famous mobile studio of The Rolling Stones, which has been used by hundreds of already legendary recordings such as "Exile on Main St." the Stones themselves or Led Zeppelin's "IV" among many others.
"Recorded Live" contains truly memorable moments of intense blues rock, from the progressive blues initial "One of These Days" to the final rock'n'roll "Choo Choo Mama", to classics of the band such as "You Give Me Loving", "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" or the hypnotic blues "Help Me", without forgetting an extraordinary version of "I'm Going Home".
"Recorded Live" is a live show that is at the same level as other legendary recordings such as "Made In Japan", "Double Live Gonzo" or "Strangers in The Night", but which, nevertheless, is seldom as recognized as those previously mentioned.
In 1972 Ten Years After did not have to prove anything to anyone, their worth as a blues rock band had earned them the qualification of "the Pink Floyd of Blues", with some superb albums that have gone down in history as classics of the genre.
"Rock ´N ´ Roll Music To The World" is the band's ninth album where the title is already more than significant, something like "we are Ten Years After and we are here to rock roll".
Tracks with a great load of progressive blues, some experimentation and classic blues rock are the denominator of an album that for many meant the last great album of the band.
The band continued proving to be in a state of grace with such superb songs as the progressive blues "Religion", or the psychedelic "Standing at the Station", a manual of blues experimentation, or the boogie rock "You Can't Win Them All".
In 1989 after almost 15 years Ten Years After would reunite to record the album "About Time", their last work had been "Positive Vibrations" from 1974.
"About Time" turned out to be a vigorous and resounding work, a memorable album where rock songs of unquestionable quality predominate, from the initial and rhythmic "Highway Of Love" to the contagious hard rock "Let's Shake It Up" passing through the tremendously addictive "Working In A Parking Lot" or "Waiting For The Judgment Day" or the hypnotic and tremendous "Bad Blood".
Ten Years After had returned to record a single album, but that would prove that they were still one of the greatest blues rock bands of all time.
"Cricklewood Green" is considered one of the peaks of blues rock, incidentally with this album Ten Years After they reached their creative peak demonstrating their status as one of the fundamental rock bands of all time.
This album is a powerful and visceral combination of blues rock seasoned with small doses of commerciality, which makes it a much more accessible work than his previous works.
The virtuosity demonstrated here by the entire band, but especially by Alvin Lee and a great sound density, maintain the blues essence that has always characterized this legendary British band.
Tracks such as the powerful "Sugar the Road", the "Working on the Road" rhythm, or the fantastic and successful "Love Like A Man" and "50,000 Miles Beneath My Brain", became authentic highlights of a perfect and very coherent album, very rarely a band of blues rock achieved such quality and greatness in a single album
