Who performed "I'm Going Home" at Woodstock?

Ten Years After performed “I’m Going Home” at Woodstock.

The song became the English blues-rock group’s signature Woodstock moment, driven by Alvin Lee’s rapid electric-guitar playing and lead vocals. Ten Years After had already recorded an early version for the 1968 live album Undead, but the festival performance brought the band a much wider audience.

Ten Years After played on August 17, 1969, during the festival’s Sunday program. Their energetic rendition was included in the Woodstock concert film and soundtrack, allowing viewers around the world to see Lee’s intense stage performance. The appearance transformed the group’s profile in the United States.

The band formed in Nottingham in 1966 and built its reputation through blues-rock performances before Woodstock. “I’m Going Home” should not be confused with similarly titled songs by other artists; the Woodstock version is specifically associated with Ten Years After and Alvin Lee. The band later continued recording and touring, while Lee pursued separate projects after leaving.
