This video was shot by me from the center seat of the first row of the balcony at the Henry Ford Theater but it pales by comparison to the pro-shot Glastonbury video of this song which is also here on YouTube. Check it out! It's got multiple cameras and better sound too!
I have never heard this song before; or about this group until I was looking at Rolling Stone Magazines greatest Albums. This song is exquisite. I am going to shop for the album on Amazon.com.

Arthur has cancer at this point in his life. I hate to say it, but his live concert in Wales (isle of man??) was clearly voiced over or whatever the term they use when its synced. People are just happy to see him in the final days. I don't know if he had the true energy to perform but he's putting on a good show
@billywillieme exactly. And I love his final message to Bush and Cheney for getting American men and women killed in some BS war that clearly benefitted them. Not that he was against the service but didnt want people losing their children
wonderful imagination, nice guy, an absolute "grafter", glad he didnt "modernise" the sound and kept it authentic, as thats a mistake made by many oif the bands from that era!, luckily now many seem to go for the authentic sound and orignal sound gear! good.
but yeh, go for it arthur for ever changes in heaven brother!
...an all-time classic...great to see Arthur again...this song has affected the course of my life since '67...everyone should experience it...thanks...jc
lUV YA r.i.p. ARTHUR LEE, i FEELFUCKED, 'CAUSE iGAVE dIANE a PROMISE, i WILL SEND HER THE SHIT THOUGH OUT OF S.F. ,YOUYR LAST SHOWS@ CAFE DU NORD. GORD AS MY WITNESS!TIMI//TIAPROMO
I once gave Arthur a HUG and said "this is the time in life I am living and I will face each day with smile!" My friend Sky Saxton (Seeds) introduced me to him at my bar in Hollywood "Zatars" Sky RIP too
I see all the masters jamming in the sky with Hendrix... Bryan...Jim...
4:56 top poxy notch,i told meself when i heard that "hang on a fuckin minute" i put it back and my god raw emotion,how do you like them apples ya's poxes,arthur lee=amazin R.I.P Man
Wisdom, majesty, wit, imagination, lightness, musicianship rolled immaculately into 7 minutes. Still got me vinyl from about '68 though it's worn flat. No one else comes close or is remotely similar. All you need to know in one song - thanks Arthur!
Thank GOD I heard him like this in 2004 at Town Hall in NYC. Now that I know I'll never get another chance, I'm really glad I went. The new Zombies were also great.
Damn, I miss you Arthur - pure genius is right. We had the good fortune to see them WAY back in the day, plus not long before he passed. All concerts were awesome! LOVE was an unique band, to put it mildly.
Yea i saw them in NY at the Town Hall, nothing against the DVD, but he was really on it that night, so much better than the dvd performance, he voice was perfect..so much like 67. he got down on one knee during singing cowboy..shaking his rattle up to the sky..point to the heavens, bone chilling. Then in Red Telephone.. lines: Theyre locking them up today Theyre throwing away the key..he added George Bush & Martha Stewart in the mix.
change beats peppers into pulp! made for true music lovers who know and choose quality over what we are led to believe are the greats! changes makes every other psychedelic band bland apart from roky erricson and the 13th floor elevators!
Not sure if the gap is that big. I am proud to have both albums. The difference is Commercialism. Living downunder, I had not heard of Arther Lee until the mid 70's. When I got hold of F.C., I understood. Mindblowingly brilliant! After Forever Changing my mind, I settled on this track as my fave. Concerto like in structure, this song is a high point of 60's music, or any music for that matter. With Love!
When I first heard this song on "underground" FM radio, I immediately bought this album. Now I have the CD. Arthur Lee is one of the greatest songwriters ever, with incisive and clever lyrics. Every song on "Forever Changes" is a masterpiece. Lots of social commentary in Love's songs. One of my most favorite albums. RIP, Arthur, you are sorely missed. We need more artists like you.
I got the reissue in 86.. lately i got hold of a 60's copy, vinyl is thicker sound better, as a vinyl addict I'm looking forward to find a MONO version..
Arhtur and Love were one of the best, and they had som many good records out besides Forever Changes. I saw them twice around 1970 andonce around the time of this video above, just amazing shows!
Goddard it, being a DIE HARD LOVE FAN, & JUST SCOOPED MY NEW SHARE OF Arthur's Memorbilia,, Thank you DIANE//Dave & CO.. + Tinman, I love my Love Stuff,, thank you, thank you !!!!!! I LOVE THE
If I could only listen to one album for the rest of my life, it would be Forever Changes. It is the perfect music to listen to no matter what you are doing.
Baby Lemonade, who played with Arthur for years, and are on this video, are touring the UK in the Autumn. They'll be doing some Love stuff, should be great. Google them for their website.
It this era, one of the very, very best albums ever made..Not one bad song on it. A classic in the same league with BS&T's "Child Is Father To The Man"..If you know this one, you know the props I just gave "Forever Changes"
I read about Forever changes in 1977 and had to wait nearly a fortnight before the record shop got it in. It blew me away as soon as i played it. Wonderful strings and brass. I hav'nt heard anything like it before or since. Every song brilliant and their names alone set it apart. Ive hardly went a month since without playing it,and it never fails to sound less than amazing. An old friend that never lets me down and definately my desert island disc.
im music mad and have thousands of albums!, my favourite?, all my love albums!, they are all exceptional!, i agree if i could choose one it is forever changes! love are manna from heaven!
was lucky to see arthur in glasgow and edinburgh at the 25th anniversary tour of "forever changes".the good die young,but the best die whenever.what a tune.love from scotland.xxx
I heard a little about this group. Then, a saw a performance they did on "Later...with Jools Holland" and was blown away! I definitely got to check the "Forever Changes" DVD.
elphonics -- Do yourself a favor and buy the CD first. It is THE classic to own.
Their first album and Da Capo are great albums in their own way, too. I even enjoy some songs on Four Sail. But Forever Changes is one of my favorite albums of all time.
Arthur Lee is perhaps the most underrated genius in the history of rock. Forever Changes is a complete masterpiece and it is simply great to see this video. Thank you for posting it!
This song just gives me goose bumps; I can't describe it in words. From one of the greatest albums of all time. Thank you, Arthur, wherever your journey has taken you now.
there are very few lp's that are as complete a listening experience as forever changes....and also, the new alternate mix on the deluxe edition cd that just came out is quite fascinating.
"well what can you say?! the man is a legend! i dont know any performer that affects me so much!, all the `big names` couldnt lace his boots! dont give me the beatles,stones and that crap!, led zeppelin and syd barrett are up there with arthur tho!"
Arthur would be the first to agree with you! heh-heh.
Pink Floyd were great Love fans. Syd's composition "Interstellar Overdrive" was inspired by Arthur's arrangement of "My Little Red Book"
Indeed, Syd and Arthur Lee have left their mark on so many bands and artists. I rate both ahead of anything from that time. Syd shut up shop eventually and went home to his mum in Cambridge. Syd's Piper At The Gates of Dawn , Madcap Laughs and Loves Forever Changes are from two people who were hearing a different drummer and both were definitely out of the box...
I think I saw this show (there were two nights at the Fonda)...it was absolutely transcendent. Don Conka and Echols came out for "Smokestack Lightning"...
My fondest memory of the Fonda show was backstage in Arthur's dressing room before the show, he was harmonizing a bunch 50's doo-wop classics with some old buddies from the hood. Wish I'd had my tape recorder running!
we were lucky to see one of Arthur Lee's performances at The Coach House. He wasn't himself that night...how his band rallyed around him. You couldn't have paid enough to see that. He was the best..ever!
i was fortunate enough to see love 3 times and they were truely one of america's best bands. one time i had the opportunity to meet arthur lee and he gave me his phone number so we could talk further. unfortunately we spoke just once and then the line was disconnected. i recommend that if you are a love fan to read the book about them.
This tour was unbelievably beautiful. Arthur Lee's voice is haunting and moving anf Baby Lemonade was superb and we will never see something like this since Arthur has passed. I walkied out of the theater walking on a cloud after hearing and seeing this concert. Wow was it great !
I saw the "Forever Changes" tour in Boston in Oct 2003, and it was a spectacular show in every way! This song is such a tour-de-force with eerily prophetic lyrics.
I spent this evening looking up groups mentioned by Dave Rabbit in airchecks from his Viet Nam war pirate radio show. (He played what soldiers really wanted to hear.)
That led to, naturally, checking out Love. Interesting that sales were weak in CONUS, as apparently the G.I.s liked it well.
Gotta love the nostalgic line: "I see your picture, it's in the same old frame, we'll meet again" and so forth. At least i do, although i'm NOT the kind to go for nostalgic crap, usually. BUT this music is not usual.Amen.
HEY NOW, just got back from th L.A.Film Festival, took someone that also is a fan of the extraordinary
music of Arthur Lee. Great to talk to Johnny Echols,
Robert roselle and a few others that had enough class
and professionalism for one nite to greet the fans, promoters, the average cat on the street to see this Doc . a/b ARTHUR and all the trials and tribulations of L.A.'S greatest non describable bunch oh of Cats
that were way, way ahead of their time, including the elusive Brian.
Love were much bigger in Europe in the 60's and 70's than they were in the States. I saw them in 1975 at Dunstable Civic Hall. A thrown together all black band. They sounded great. Saw Arthur twice since then. He signed my Mono copy of Forever Changes outside Bimbo's in SF six years ago. He wrote what I had hoped he would. "To Mark, Love Arthur Lee."
I cried a lot when I heard that he had died. I didn't cry at all when I heard that my father had died. Rock is thicker than blood apparently.
You can always tell when I am in the neighborhood, my FC CD is playing at top volume out of the 6 speakers in my van. Every note, sung or played, is perfect, exactly correct. What a genius, we were lucky to have him
valley sally this is ridgecrest calling! just today july15 found your reply i'm an idiot about this stuff. I/m Marlin Thomas with the band Crumville, remember me? I wrote down your email address and will try to reconnect
This guy is pretty much up there with Hendrix. Definitely one of the defining sounds of the sixties, and another band that makes me wish that I had seen the sixties in all their glory.
Arthur Lee rocked on this one. I sure wanted to see Arthur with this excellent line-up. One of the best tunes in the rock era, my favorite, anyway. All else are posers.
I drove to brookly ny and seen the forever changes show at the warsaw and ill never forget it for how good aurthur sounded..Always a love fan and always will be.God Bless his soul.
lucky enough to catch the forever changes tour in the liquid rooms in edinburgh a few years ago.very intimate venue,holds only 5/6oo,and this tune brings it all back.god bless for posting this jazmaan.
This video was shot by me from the center seat of the first row of the balcony at the Henry Ford Theater but it pales by comparison to the pro-shot Glastonbury video of this song which is also here on YouTube. Check it out! It's got multiple cameras and better sound too!

Pink Floyd were great Love fans. Syd's composition "Interstellar Overdrive" was inspired by Arthur's arrangement of "My Little Red Book"

Indeed, Syd and Arthur Lee have left their mark on so many bands and artists. I rate both ahead of anything from that time. Syd shut up shop eventually and went home to his mum in Cambridge. Syd's Piper At The Gates of Dawn , Madcap Laughs and Loves Forever Changes are from two people who were hearing a different drummer and both were definitely out of the box...

Pay attention to all words on all songs and you'll see Arthur Lee was a prophet (at least to his own life)

I think I saw this show (there were two nights at the Fonda)...it was absolutely transcendent. Don Conka and Echols came out for "Smokestack Lightning"...
anazgnos 4 years ago
My fondest memory of the Fonda show was backstage in Arthur's dressing room before the show, he was harmonizing a bunch 50's doo-wop classics with some old buddies from the hood. Wish I'd had my tape recorder running!

we were lucky to see one of Arthur Lee's performances at The Coach House. He wasn't himself that night...how his band rallyed around him. You couldn't have paid enough to see that. He was the best..ever!

i was fortunate enough to see love 3 times and they were truely one of america's best bands. one time i had the opportunity to meet arthur lee and he gave me his phone number so we could talk further. unfortunately we spoke just once and then the line was disconnected. i recommend that if you are a love fan to read the book about them.

I saw the "Forever Changes" tour in Boston in Oct 2003, and it was a spectacular show in every way! This song is such a tour-de-force with eerily prophetic lyrics.

I spent this evening looking up groups mentioned by Dave Rabbit in airchecks from his Viet Nam war pirate radio show. (He played what soldiers really wanted to hear.)
That led to, naturally, checking out Love. Interesting that sales were weak in CONUS, as apparently the G.I.s liked it well.
I can see why.

Gotta love the nostalgic line: "I see your picture, it's in the same old frame, we'll meet again" and so forth. At least i do, although i'm NOT the kind to go for nostalgic crap, usually. BUT this music is not usual.Amen.

HEY NOW, just got back from th L.A.Film Festival, took someone that also is a fan of the extraordinary
music of Arthur Lee. Great to talk to Johnny Echols,
Robert roselle and a few others that had enough class
and professionalism for one nite to greet the fans, promoters, the average cat on the street to see this Doc . a/b ARTHUR and all the trials and tribulations of L.A.'S greatest non describable bunch oh of Cats
that were way, way ahead of their time, including the elusive Brian.

Love were much bigger in Europe in the 60's and 70's than they were in the States. I saw them in 1975 at Dunstable Civic Hall. A thrown together all black band. They sounded great. Saw Arthur twice since then. He signed my Mono copy of Forever Changes outside Bimbo's in SF six years ago. He wrote what I had hoped he would. "To Mark, Love Arthur Lee."
I cried a lot when I heard that he had died. I didn't cry at all when I heard that my father had died. Rock is thicker than blood apparently.

This guy is pretty much up there with Hendrix. Definitely one of the defining sounds of the sixties, and another band that makes me wish that I had seen the sixties in all their glory.
