Their most interesting and ambitious recording; much more so than "Revelation,' which was more of a jam. This film was probably financed by Elektra. The titles use the same font as on Elektra LP covers of that period.
A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand (sorry bout the spam THIS SCARES ME!)
rare video.great song and band.arthur lee was a real rock legend.i met him at the middle east in boston 1998.one of the highlights of my life.this was my favorite song by them.i thought they would never play it,but they opened with it.r.i.p. arthur lee
I'd like to find an old newspaper article with something about "The Notorious Doughnut Robbers Have Been Apprehended" - Ken Forssi and Johnny Echols, that is.
When The Doors got started way back when, Jim Morrison said, "We want to be as big as Love" Well, The Doors succeeded in becoming bigger, but they were never half the band these guys were.
thats makin me cry man, its so sad to think about the way it was to be and the way it all turned out.. i have been a fan since early childhood(little red book on krla most likely was first i heard)) and there is nothing like LOVE.
WHEN U R READING THIS DONT STOP OR SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN MY NAME IS SUMMER I AM 15 YEARS OLD i have BLONDE HAIR , SCARS no NOSE OR EARS I AM DEAD IF U DONT COPY THIS JUS LIKE FROM THE RING COPY N POST THIS ON 5 MORE SITES OR I WILL APPEAR ONE CREEPY NIGHT WEN UR NOT ExPECTING IT BY YOUR BED WITH A NIFE AND KILL U THIS IS NO JOKE SUMMET ING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO U IF YOU POST THIS ON 5 MORE
they talked about this video in michael stuart's book, i really liked the book, i think michael was pretty honest, he didn't have an axe to grind. good stuff on randy holden and the great sons of adam, the all time great love interview is the one with snoopy in zig zag, it's a riot.
I love music videos from the 60s. Better than the stupid shit today. Music video in early 90s were cool also because they were kind of psychedelic. Like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, STP, Lush, and all those other alterative rockers. For me it just late 60s, early 70s, and early 90s rock. Music today sucks. Thanks Arthur Lee for giving us great music. It will never come again.
So glad to have found this! So little exists of Love on film. I saw their American Bandstand appearance. It wasn't very good. All the more reason, it's a pity Arthur didn't like to tour. There would have been more footage. He (and Love) should have been HUGE. And I still can't get over how he and Syd Barrett died within week of each other. Both were psych geniuses who burnt out too soon.
Excellent song, proof that Love is one of the best and most underrated musical artists of all time. Thanks for uploading this Thomas - it furthered my interest and appreciation for this great band.
What's so great about this video is there is actually film of the original band together. I wish, like so many other people, is that there was more live footage of the original band.
arthurly, love, brilliant. this film captures the smoggy druggy weirdness that is/was L.A. i was fortunate to see love at the trancas club in the late 90's. aurther took the stage st age still wet from a night swim in the ocean just across PCH. great cars, great pigeons, great irish wolfhound, GREAT band.
What a band. I LOVE Love. Arthur lee, you king amongst men, you're an inspiration to all of us. One of the most talented writers of his genertaion as well as arguably the greatest voice of the 20th century. RIP Arthur, we'll miss you. And all you love fans...i don't believe in God but no other words can describe it, so...God bless you all.
OMG!!!! HE DIED?? That's sad!! I've got Love Story double disc set for Xmas '95!! After awhile, their music soon grows and grows on me!! The words, the music, I mean Love was WAAAAAAAY underrated in my opinion!! Great stuff I haven't heard before!! Thanks for posting this vid!!
Wow - great video, thank you. It's funny, I listen to so much music and when people asked me 'what music do you like' I'd name so many things, including Love. I've seen a few musicians die in recent years, but this time it's really really hurt to hear of Arthur's passing. I can't get over that he's gone. He was a great leader of artists - unique, eccentric and beautiful. A true non-conformist. I only hope he makes heavan as musiclly interesting as he has made this world.
... and Brian McClean drinking the beer-- don't forget him-- the quiet ying to Lee's raging yang-- Love was never the same after Brian left. (This is what's great about Youtube-- where the hell do people find these films. great!)
Im so sad this summer last month another one of my musical heros died, Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd, and now Arthur too, so sad R.I.P, Syd,Arthur we miss you but say hi to Hendrix up there in heaven and all of our fallen musical heroes Rest In Peace guys we'll see you all one day.
What a find and what a treat to see the original members of Love on film. Thanks for posting this Thomas. Anyone know who the woman is on the balcony with Arthur?
Go and see the benefit shows for Arthur Lee in NYC & LA in June/2006. Robert Plant, Ian Hunter, David Johanson, & unannounced special guests. It is gonna be a BLAST!!! I wish Arthur well & hope to see him at the shows if he is up to it.
