    Love was the first band I saw live. After the experience, I knew I was going to have a 'love' affair with music. In '67 I would skip school and hitch-hike (it was a different time) to Hollywood (my playground). The Sunset Strip was about MUSIC ... Love was a 'Hollywood' band. Their sound was so unique and alive. I'll never forget my intro to the music scene ... 'FOREVER CHANGES' is stand-out brilliant! Arthur rest in peace ... YOU and your band hold a permanent place in my heart.

    Hi Liz! Thank you for sharing your story. Yes, it certainly was a different time but we did have our share of creepers! We just weren't so divided back then. I was raised in Southern California - Orange County right in the middle of the best bands ever! Summers were amazing! Seeing Todd Rundgren at the Troubadour before he got real famous? Those were the days 😎👍 I also saw Led Zeppelin with Jimmy Hendrix opening up for them. At Cal State Fullerton - if you can believe it!? Yes Liz, those were the days 🤗 💞 We, were lucky☘ PS, I just saw that you left your comment 10yrs AGO! Hope you are well 🙏 😉💜

    I applaud Dick Clark for having this band on his show. He had the foresight to know he was in the presence of greatness!! I only saw Love once, shortly before Arthur was arrested (for nothing, as it turned out). I wish I had seen them live during the Bido Lito and Whisky days. Arthur's dislike of the commercial world of hit music is painfully obvious in many of his songs. I wish things had been different. I wish, I wish, I wish. *sigh*

And (I think) one of the first racially-diverse rock groups in LA. I remember seeing them at some tiny club on Selma or somewhere a bit north of H'wood Blvd. Can't remember the name. Just glad I remember seeing them, lol.

    One of the greatest original bands of the 1960's. The Forever Changes album is nothing short of a classic. Its a shame but drugs, conflict and bad management all took its toll on this group. With fantastic original material Love should have been a very popular group but after only a few years they faded into obscurity. Bryan and Arthur were the main creative forces but they could not get along. Most of the group has since passed away but they left us with some absolutely great music.

    They feuded, did drugs and were unfocused on completing what should have been the beginning of many albums, ForeverChanges. Parts were completed by the Wrecking Crew, and the horns were loaned from the Tijuana Brass . The biggest mistake was not taking the advice of Jimi Hendrix to appear at the Monterrey Pop Festival.

At the time the quintet's "My Little Red Book" was at #68 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; twenty-two days later on June 19th, 1966 it would peak at #52 {for 1 week} and it stayed on the chart for 11 weeks...

    This was a totally serendipitous accident. Arthur and I went to see "What's New Pussycat" at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood. We both mentioned how cool the music playing in the background was. I went home and tried to play the song from memory, of course, I got the whole song ass-backward. It should have had minor chords, as well as an entirely different rhythmic structure, etc. Hell, we even got the words wrong, by the time I heard it again and realized how much I had screwed the song up, it was too late to change it. The crowd at "Bido Lito"s insisted we continue playing it wrong. Burt was a dick at first, but when the royalty checks started rolling in, paying for his new pool... he became a happy camper. JE

What I DID know then is that it was instant love of their sound, feel, look and musicality. I was 17 and a local JC dj. I've never felt better. : ) My stepsister dated Ken Forssi (guitarist far left in Love video here) in Sarasota, Fla. his hometown. KZread makes it an even smaller planet, indeed.

    It was the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 that they should have played. I think the original band was still together then, but barely. By Woodstock in 1969 they were long gone. Arthur had a new band that he called Love by then. It just wasn't the same.

Led by the man who taught Jimi Hendrix how to dress, ARTHUR LEE. Their 3rd LP, Forever Changes, STILL rates high on 'greatest albums of all times' lists, yet most people have never heard of them. And isn't that a crime. PS- Bassist Ken Forssi is from my home town of Cleveland, as if that's of any importance.
