Shack - A House Is Not A Motel

[JRoseveare]

i was there. and i remember it mainly because the first (of three!) support act was an unknown student band called Coldplay - they had only just released Blue Room EP - never thought they'd go on to be so huge. Yep at the time this was perhaps the best way to hear Love cos Arthur was in jail!

[linsangster]

absolutely brilliant my friends absolutely!! xx

[phddddd]

what a good version. thanks. I miss "this fellow died on Christmas Day."

[fatcatbuzz]

I like how he sing this with an Irish accent. It brings out the Irish in me.

[tiewebb]

Love were the best man,seeing Arthur do the whole of Forever Changes with Baby Lemonade in Glasgow will go with me to the grave.Best gig ever.Peace bro.

[1theombudsman]

@fatcatbuzz it's actually a liverpudlian accent...they are from liverpool..but he might be of irish descent.....but he's deffo a scouser.

[xXlonemilkmanXx]

ha i got 2 play this with mick at his sisters party

[hypanova116]

at the end GO JOHN!!!"!

[JoeChrisMorris]

This is not a good LoVE cover

[hypanova116]

shack were the closest thing to the original love

ask arthur thats what he said to them

singin isnt up 2 scratch thats all

[JoeChrisMorris]

Until Baby Lemonade of course ;)

I first saw Love (well, Das Daman) in NYC in the early 90s backing Arthur.. good show

But to see Love doing Forever Changes with an orchestra in Brooklyn.. oh man.. Not to mention Stephanie, Rainbow in the storm.. Oh man..

I just wish I could've seen Arthur and Bryan playing the Whisky in the late 70s when Bryans band (with Maria McKee) was opening for Arthur!

[hypanova116]

you dont get it without shack there would be no forever changes tour they convinced him to do it

[JoeChrisMorris]

He didnt tour FC till he was in jail for several years in California

[hypanova116]

after jail he wanted to do a blues tour and shack convinced him to do forever changes

[JoeChrisMorris]

Huh?

He played with Baby Lemonade for a few years after jail until he pissed them off

[hypanova116]

in 1992 he played with shack like

i dnt know what year he played with baby lemonade

[JoeChrisMorris]

When he was out of jail in 2003

Then he started to do FC in its entirety with strings & brass - 2 hour shows consisting of the first 3 Elektra albums

[hypanova116]

sounds wierd

[JoeChrisMorris]

AMAZING shows, with horns and brass on the stage .. in a small club!

I understand Baby Lemonade is touring the UK this year

[hypanova116]

lol

ill have to see that one

[JoeChrisMorris]

They're doing a LOT of Love songs

Personally I hope they'll play Willow Willow or something off Real to Reel (1974 LoVE album on the RSO label)like Time Is Like A River

Dunno if Echols is doing the UK tour though - hes one of the few surviving members of LoVE (along with Snoopy, Michael Stuart, and (possibly) Tjay Cantrelli)

[fatcatbuzz]

No, Tjay Cantrelli died. I think sometime in the 80s or 90s actually.

[hypanova116]

were was this show??

[homer1205]

thhhhhhis rocks...timeless music rock on

[grimjester88]

Well there's certainly no fucking point saying "Pity he's a scouser" on a vid that's obviously gonna be frequented by scousers. You had the insults coming to you, dumb fuck.

[CJOKUSAP]

The "Pity he's a scouser" comment was a playful dig at our local 'rivals'( I'm a scummy Manc, see.), but you seem to be the only fucker who thought otherwise! So, go and suck a pigs cock, you tit!.

[CJOKUSAP]

Ryan you docile fuckwit, what does it matter if I know any scousers, you nonsense talking dog-shagger!Music is meant to break down barriers, not erect them u prick!

[vonwegen100]

I sure wish Shack would tour Germany!

[hypanova116]

ill get on that

[CJOKUSAP]

addressed to Ryan Shit4-brains...And? So? WTF does it have to do with what I've wrote, you primitive fuckwit?

[beaverking]

good version, but arthur lee died august 3rd, not christmas day. good cover though

[sfatfc]

he's talking about Brian Maclean Loves guitarist who died a month or so before this was filmed

[beaverking]

ah right, sorry man, my mistake! cheers

[overbrookXXX]

butcher job

[rusure2398]

great band -wish there was more by them

[shaneshaky19]

one of the most heartfelt versions of this song iv heard!

[kensal27]

Mick Head is a legend!

[barbh1]

Wow! What a show! Great cover to a great song!

Great video! Everything is great!

[CJOKUSAP]

One great artist and some great musicians show show love and respect to one of their biggest influences. Doesn't get much better than this.

Michael Head is an unrecognised genius; pity he's a scouser. ;)

[ryank09]

[hypanova116]
