Saw these guys at Glastonbury not having any idea who they were, they stole the show and all they had was the little ol' acoustic tent. RIP A.L. the immortal.
I am 62 years old and my 15-year-old son turned me on to Arthur Lee and Love last year. I think that says so much about the universal appeal of him and Love, and that this music will be loved for years as long as poeple are exposed to it.
Listening to this, I feel pretty ashamed not to have seen him play when he came to Manchester. I am wearing a dunce's cap right now, cleaning the egg off my face :..(
the moat underrated artist in rock story. just he did creted love and peace philosophy and hippy living way. he so great like BEATLES and STONES and BOB DYLAN; Rest In Peace ARTHUR LEE.
I was lucky to run to the store for all my Love LP's as they were released.... Arthur Lee and Bryan Maclean, Johnny Echols, Ken Forssi, Snoopy....The original LOVE....When Forever Changes came out they had gone to the greatness that only Elektra artists could achieve with superior recordings...Bruce Botnick thank you too!!!
I saw him during this tour in Hollywood. House of Blues...he was better than great!! Best concert I've been to! My husband got free tickets to this from answering a question on a radio show! What luck!!
sorry supaduck my last response was kind of an onrunning sentence. I'm kicking it in the backyard and don't want to try and find all the keys.. just the illumunation of the screen is going. Didn't feel like looking for all the puncuations and such :)
@Supaduck0 He had lots of problems in life and took out his anger a few times from I read. He wasn;t happy. I really love his music but I wouldn't have been with him in the early mid years.. but in his finally day, he really had a hard time and it comes out so much in his music. His music was never this good in the past. I'm amazed at this concert of how good it sounds for being live. But he did this while suffering from cancer. Shit... i could go on. great performer he was.
heartbreakingly beautiful. Simple and soaring. Gentle and solid. The first full breath of love and the feeling that lingers even after the memories are forgotten. This song transcends language. It's just something we know inside.
I wonder if JIm morrison was listening to love cos i see some similarities on some The Doors song and Forever Changes's song.Brilliant Album BTW.WOW:)
It was Arthur Lee who recommended The Doors to the Elektra label. ALL of us listened to Love ... they didn't tour much, but, when they did, we came out in droves to see them. Just the best! Better than Springfield; Airplane; all of them. Everyone knew it.
I'm someone who lives for music but cannot play a single note... but what a beautiful looking guitar that is being played by the young lad to the left of Arthur. I presume it's a Gretsch. Maybe not but anyhow if there were a museum of the 10 most beautiful things ever created by mankind then Gretsch guitars would be there.
omg. Forever Changes, hands down the MOST UNDERRATED and conversely, the one of the best rock albums of the past century, including this band! Seminal, beautifully melodic...thought provoking and clever.
I think it should be touted and spoke on in the same breath as sgt. pepper or even a pet sounds, etc. The notoriety today, BECAUSE it didn't receive the credit it deserved back then, thus leaving it a "buried tresure", seems more nostalgic rather than being iconic in nature. Although it's a gem of an album, music-snobs or afficianados seem to know more about it, compared to the mainstream audience.
who seriously needs the beatles!? i would rather listen to love!, they are a bit more special i think a thought in my head my dear!, there you go they are in my head!, explains everything!
It's wonderful to hear his voice solo----I love LOVE and wouldn't ever want to give up "Forever Changes", but this really gives the song a new dimesion. Thanks for sharing.
Arthur and his friends in Love created some of the most timeless music to come out of the 60's. Only the Beatles affected me in the same timeless way as this band. Love, in a mysterious way, defined the California music scene in a way that stands the test of time.
what else can you say love man love i saw aurtheur once at the corner hotel in richmond melb by chance what a show what a night so many didnt realise the legend they were watching
i love forever changes. while all the other people in my age group listen to r,n,b, rap and indie i listen to this im 15 and im wise enough to know that this is class. top album and Arthur Lee is one of the most underrated songwriter of all time.
bless you guys for catching on... arthur lee was the man! he was awful sometimes to his crew, but like someone wrote elsewhere in this tract, 'surely this is the music of heaven'. I am 58, and cannot live without this album, love records. p.s. I am in a band still, and I do a few love songs myself still
Saw these guys at Glastonbury not having any idea who they were, they stole the show and all they had was the little ol' acoustic tent. RIP A.L. the immortal.
