LOVE & ARTHUR LEE: A DOCUMENTARY

[1991] Directed by Crimson Crout
Dubbed from a found VHS.

[@ChicagoWind100]

Almost done with the book forever changes and highly recommend anybody who loves Arthur and love as it explains a lot of what was going on in the beginning to the end! I’m obsessed with any type of interview, video, or pic of Arthur Lee and love especially the later years from the 70s to the 90s (which didn’t get the recognition it deserved especially anything Arthur did after forever changes) and I must say Love is my favorite band and Arthur is severely one of the most underrated singer/songwriters EVER. Love this documentary!!

I'm obsessed too. You have good taste

[@pauldaniels2019]

I'm almost done with the book too. It has a lot of interesting stuff in it that is new to me.

My Friend Arthur Lee LOVE FOREVER🎶☮️ may his soul rest in his new home Heaven!!! Miss Him

[@DerpRulesAll]

So after ten years of streaming Love's stuff, throughout Arthur Lee's career, and watching any pieces YT creators have made, _finally_ I'm deemed worthy to see this! 😂

[@anon2218]

This is my favorite band of all times 🎸

[@johnmitchelljr]

You have made my day. Thanks for Arthur Lee. Never enough. Thank you for sharing.

[@joshuabrande2417]

A rarity for sure. Thanks so much for this excellent documentary.

[@PeteOrmond5678]

This is amazing footage covering the absolute best of Love, a monumental band that still needs to be heard from. Thanks!

[@rickbroderick9146]

wow, this is great...We lived and breathed LOVE with each album as tsoon as they were released..Years in my friends garage trying to stay with them as they blew away on the second album...then Forever Changes...lived up to its title...missed the one known performance of them I knew of at the Fillmore East. Saw Arthur and the Four Sail configuration when that came out in a tiny club in NYC. but it wasn't the same...The greatest band of the day, and still.

Sitting on the hillside, watching all the people die, Ill feel much better on the other side. There was a reincarnantion angle to all of this. Nothing better than Forever Changes.

Amazing !

[@marcyfan]

arthur, he's not calling you a punk. he's telling you, you're great, influential.

[@psalmtwentyfiveeight]

i met Paige Conca first in about 2002 then i ran into her again in 2011 when we were in the same methadone clinic, went inside the house i believe where Don Conca(signed DC) ended up overdosing and dying a few short years later i believe, dont have all the dates exact. Paiges boyfriend commit suicide as well. Tragic man, God delivered me out of this all

[@pookiemartinez1745]

Amen

[@bobburroughs6241]

Fascinating to see him way back then even if quality poor. Of course, the finest album ever made! Never seen him with long hair - guess this is the Four Sail band or later?

[@stephencarroll230]

This is waaay later. Probably a pickup band like the one I saw him play with about that time in an old hotel lobby in Massachusetts. When I saw the signs I couldn't believe it was really him! The young girl playing the flute in that band had never even heard of Love before! He must have given her the music for the parts.

Luv....R.I.P.

[@michaelchomick4949]

What is the name of the Reggae-ish sounding song with the lyrics "we're gonna dance to the rhythm and chase all the troubles away?" I can't find it anywhere but they play it so well in this.

[@vishengro]

I completely agree with you! But can’t find title anywhere even after going through all their discography on Spotify .

[@CaropBec]

It's an unreleased Arthur lee track "L.A. Caloca" kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJuVYn2gjsZkgKc

[@tonyballz9023]

It's an Arthur Lee original called LA CAloca. I don't think there's a studio version but it appears on the Coming Through To You collection of live recordings released in 2015.

[@hardfolk]

gem

thanx

[@Daemiandussault]

I don't know if he was doing a lot of coke at that time or what, but this guy was a lot more into himself than I realized. You can't really ask him about anything without him saying that he started that or that those people wanted to hang out with him. He's in this documentary sitting on the couch watching himself, on stage. Not too many musicians from back then gave a shit about how they looked afterwards.

[@Phil_Trujeque]

Probably around 20 years ago I read a book called **On the Pegasus Carousel** written by the Forever Changes drummer, and I remember him saying about Arthur Lee, although was a brilliant musician and phenomenal athlete, was a total douche and egomaniac (I'm using my own vocabulary cuz I'm a moronic caveman). So as SOON as I started watching this video, me, being completely biased from that book, I'm noticing what Stuart-Ware meant. Oh, I just remembered something else that helped my bias -- I don't remember the exact 'edition', but the Forever Changes release with two CD's has a bunch of studio outtakes from the Forever Changes session, and one of the tracks has Arthur Lee talking SO much shit to Johnny Echols about his guitar playing, and just being a passive-aggressive dick, and just riding his ass about his solos. But yeah, love me some Love - 1st three albums - but god damn was this guy so in love with himself!

[@davidmurray2539]

Some very petty banter here about one who possessed one of the greatest artistic minds of the last American century. To my mind a talent that was really only glimpsed at compared to others in his field but in a less celebrity-obsessed, world, Arthur Lee would make the likes of Paul McCartney and all that ilk of main- streamers wearing the "genius" misnomer look very pedestrian indeed.

[@Daemiandussault]

@@davidmurray2539 I don't think that many of the celebrated names from the same era would have paled in the face of Arthur Lee. I love the Forever Changes album. And I need to familiarize myself with the other albums. But he wasn't a man among boys. That's my opinion.

[@dahabintfarah]

@@Phil_Trujeque I remember that! (CD was eventually stolen) Still, JE's solo afterwards was a vast improvement, and AL acknowledged that.

[@leonardjohnny67]

Brian MacLean wrote Alone again or. Arthur was talented, but also a massive bullshitter. Brian gets forgotten.

[@MrTimeXTime]

In the early 90's I knew an English woman that was His Aide De Camp named Hilary. I would give all I am to see Her again...

Arthur, Berton Averre.

[@bigtwit799]

Just not quite the same after FC. Four Sail is worth a listen tho.

[@ThisBirdHasFlown]

Four Sail is fantastic but yes the rest is little more than mediocrity.

[@1000_Jeezai]

'Out Here' is great

[@trinidadapodaca7027]

u can see hendrix influiece

[@bigtwit799]

@Trashley So did Arthur.

[@Daemiandussault]

Ha. I wouldn't say Jimi Hendrix influence this guy, and I do not think this guy influenced Jimi Hendrix directly at all. Jimi Hendrix is influences may have been the same as Arthur Lee's influences. But this guy is fooling himself if he thinks that Jim Morrison wanted to be him, if he thinks that John Densmore and the rest of the doors wanted to be his backup band, all these things that this guy says. And believe me, I knew what a fantastic album forever changes was the first time I heard it. I assumed it must have come out in like 73, I was blown away to discover it came out in 67. And I'm sure that they did some other pretty cool things, or he did. But he is very into himself
