@chunkylover5000 Echols is there but so is Mike Randle. Arthur calls his name at the start of his solo, about 4mins in.

[muzsickman]

The first song I learned to play on guitar. Arthur Lee was a true innovator!!

[cobraristein]

How can patrons spew off while this song was being played in beyond me.

When A. Lee was playing this song with the original group "LOVE" many years ago,

you could have heard a pin drop between notes.

[Byrontheone]

Fantastic song I have the original album

I am grateful. Byron...

[sineddezra]

Fantastic, one of my favorite song and band"Ty.

[manaledo]

he is a musician of genius

Try Lobelia sound

[hardcorefan05]

LOVE forever.... 25 years in love with this ingredible band...imho they created the best album for '67..

[PlayThemAgain]

@hardcorefan05 Almost agree! How about best album for '66 (July). Best album for '67 was the Doors 1st LP.

;-)

[eternalsoul888]

@PlayThemAgain A lot of great LPs sealed 1967, Doors among them..

Forever Changes was ahead of its time..

66 was another grand year, many are on the top.

ex- hardcorefan05 : )

verse Em, D. Am turnaround is G F C

[vintagezigg]

Sounds like they're playing in a singles bar.I can hear people babbling through out the song. Can't believe this is in the UK.I thought it only happens in New Jersey.Half of them probably didn't care or know who was on stage.That was a historical moment folks.

[hollywoodartchick]

That bothers me about a lot of live music shows. Any true music lover would shut up and take in the precious gift of the artist. But in this world, most tickets are sold to drunk slobs looking to get laid, and the rest of us have to tolerate them.

[ohdear1964]

Awesome and powerful, is there a studio version available somewhere?

[endofsomething]

There are two that I know of, an early one and a later one. The early one appears on the debut album 'Love' the later one (closer in style to this one) appears on 'Out There' Love have a number of great studio records as well. I'd suggest 'Forever Changes' 'Da Capo' & 'Four Sail' to begin with. Also, 'False Start' features Jimi Hendrix on guitar (on at least one track, though I've always suspected more than one) I hope that helps!

@ohdear1964

Rhino Records has their first album(self titled with the original studio version of this song) on record and i believe Compact Disc. It's an import thus a higher than normal price (25.00-35.00). Itunes is an option though(they have a greatest hits set with this song included).

[AbbeyKarin]

I discover Love and Arthur Lee about a month after he died :( Thank god music never dies.

[fawssia]

Era el mejor de todos. La vida es muy injusta.

[erinandcompany]

RIP, Arthur!

[Agaricfly68]

I was fortunate enough to see Arthur Lee perform live, several times, and even speak to the great man on one occasion.

A true legend!

Thanks for posting...

[rickinrichmond]

I saw him play live many times and never tire of hearing his genius. When spoke to him after his show at Gilfest he was incredibly humble and thanked me!!! for taking the trouble to listen to his music. A true genius and a great human being. We shall never see his like again. RIP Arthur

[swagner64]

Great clip, great artist. Note: Johnny Echols plays is playing lead guitar.

[abstrusedali]

No- Mike Randle is playing lead guitar.

[pcc7407]

Johnny Echols is certainly visible playing lead at the beginning of the song. Looks like both Mike and Johnny share lead guitar duties. A superb song and a great video, really. Thanks for sharing it! Arthur.... We miss you! You truly were the greatest, and you always had the greatest musicians playing with you - electric and orchestra.

[baliscotsurf]

@swagner64 right johnny's right behind arthur and u can hear his soulful leads with sustain for dayze. he still has the 60's sound...then the kid comes in late with his licks ..nice

[giles422]

Rock's true jazzman. A great song, a great performance. A great loss.

[oldbump]

Too bad about all the assholes not listening.

[rosepearljanis]

regret of life -not flyin to chi-town to c aurthurlee on last tour-still waitin to hair more of him jammin w/ jimi

[KENVAIL]

[2kath51]

[9jimmy24]

[byrdsmaniac]

Thanks for posting this.

[Sdf1987]

Arthur Lee & Love are awesome and one of my top 10 favorite bands ever. Anyway I also wanna say if any of you fimilar with The Moody Blues. Well The Moody Blues biggest hit Nights In White Satin and the tune to this song Signed DC by Love have a very similar tune. Well Love influenced Pink Floyd and Pink Floyd influenced The Moody Blues so it makes since I guess.

[endofsomething]

I know the Moody Blues. My Mum plays 'Every good boy deserves favour' late at night with candles burning. I haven't heard that record for years man...I should probably dig it out. Love are among my top bands as well, good choice, sir!

[bigoldsun]

Go to victor davies on you tube and tell me if victor sounds like lee or not! maybe he can learn the songs and sing in the love band?

[Flunder]

Don RIP Arthur? RIP. been there done that. bought the t shirt. all the best in the next world. Lee.

[ArnolddeWijs]

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! Thanks for posting!!

[fatcatbuzz]

Arthur kind of sounds like Bob Marley in the version on "Out Here". Critics say "Four Sail", "Out Here", and "False Start" are not that good. Don't listen to any of them. Especially about "Four Sail" and "Out Here" because the new band after the original was still really good and had some interesting jams on them. Singing Cowboy, August, are amazing. I'm Down, Stand Out and I Still wonder are great, too. And Jimi Hendrix appears on The Everlasting First.

[syraxgrella]

If you haven't heard the album versions be prepared to hear works of genius & if you needed it a reason to not take drugs & if that doesn't do it listen to Sister Morphine by the Stones who wrote She's A Rainbow after hearing Loves' She Comes In Colours .
