- First of 3 songs performed by Arthur Lee and Love in 2003. This song and "You Set The Scene" are from a US presentation of "Later.. with Jools Holland" on the Ovation Network.
The "Love - The Forever Changes Concert" Snapper Music dvd of the January 15th, 2003 performance at the Royal Albert Hall lists the band members (since 1996) as:
Arthur Lee - Vocals, Harmonica, Guitar
David Chapple - Bass
David Green - Drums
Mike Randle - Lead guitar
Rusty Squeezebox - Guitar
David Chapple, David Green, Mike Randle & Rusty Squeezebox were a band known as Baby Lemonade, formed in 1992, before becoming Arthur Lee's "most stable line-up of Love in the band's history" in 1996, according to Wikipedia.
Presented with love and gratitude for the artists and producers of this excellent work of art. I only hope to bring the same joy and appreciation I have enjoyed to all who take the time to listen.

Probably the single most underrated single in rock history.
Yep. Tied with "Walk Away Renee".
Wonderful song from a great album.
@@samsimmons8030 Love that song too
Agree
You may well be right. My girlfriend and I thought it had #1 written all over it.
Saw him open for Lou Reed back in '73. He had a big afro, and after the first song, took off the wig, set it on fire, and let it burn for the rest of the set!

It's curious how certain songs stay with you throughout your life, never losing their appeal. This is one of them, and the live performance was so well done. Love were in a category of their own.
Forever Changes - one of the greatest albums ever. Unique and timeless. Arthur Lee - a special talent RIP
Brilliant song and performance from Arthur. Respect to Jools for having excellent artists on his shows. Thank you.
Fourty-seven years later, and it still makes me want to cry, after all this time!
Me too.
netherworldman its a very emotional, haunting song. I get the same feeling
Agreed!
same here I can't explain why but especially when that trumpet comes in and those guitars man
and now...50 years later...still going strong !!!
Finally got to see Arthur in Philadelphia at the Troc, before he passed away. One of the best concert I ever attended. RIP Arthur
7 and 7, is. One of rocks greatest singles.
I can now call this the greatest song that was ever played and written in the modern world of music. Why? After all my years listenning to unlimited amount of music. I have never heard anything better!
Arthur played Glastonbury Festival in 2003. Really very special! You can find part of it on line. Yes! I was at the show. Have many special photos i took.
Agreed.
It's perfection.
@@dougpotosky4102 Watching it on my other laptop right now. Can't get enough of it. Masterpiece. That must have been incredible.
just found this band a couple days ago while on acid. the guitar riff hits my spine everytime. this song is so good!!!!
Waves of Love
I was lucky to have seen Love many times, starting at Pandora's Box and Whiskey AGoGo. Arthur Lee was one of the greatest songwriters of all time. Love's 1st 3 albums were individually amazing, with each increasingly complex. Their 3rd album is a masterpiece, The reason that they were not well known, was because Arthur didn't want to go on the road. Late in his career, they came back and were popular in Europe. They remain one of my top five groups. ❤❤❤
Great songwriter, for sure, but not the writer of this song. That would be (the late) Bryan MacLean.
They did tour but weren’t able to tour the southern states (due to segregation) which is probably the bigger reason why they didn’t get more popular stateside
I hate you. You saw, love live.. Like winning the lottery.
Arthur didn't like to travel. . .period. When his record label, Elecktra, wanted to bring the band to NYC for promotion, Lee balked. Instead, he "recommended" that the label look at a competitive band down the street. That band was the DOORS. Elektra invited them to NY and they accepted. You know the rest. I really, really envy you on he ops you had to see this iconic band. The memories you must still harbor are priceless.
Lucky you 😊
Always loved the arrangement of this song and they way the Spanish trumpet solo comes in out of nowhere. It was a classic the day it was released in 1967. I was proud to play it on FM radio in the day. The song was new and so was FM Rock radio. Arthur Lee passed on in 2006 and we lost another great of our music.
BRIAN MCLEAN'S MOTHER WAS A SPANISH DANCER AND MCLEANPICKED UP THAT VIBE GROWING UP- NO BRIAN MCLEAN- NO LOVE THE WAY WE KNOW IT. MCCLEAN WAS HEROIN, GOT CLEAN, CHRISTIAN MUSIC, DIED OF A MASSIVE CORONARY- HE WAS A PRETTY BOY BLOND ca KID WITH LOADS OF TALENT.
THEY PLAYED AT WHISKEY A GO-G0 WHICH WAS STARTED WITH ONE PARTNER BEING JOHNNY RIVERS WHO PACKED IT 6 MONTHS SOLID. cHECK OUT JR- LP 'REALIZATION' WAS HIS HIPPIE MASTERPIECE.
the trumpet is genuis
Probably the best band ever
1967. / 70. F M. Radio. Was the best. Groups like love made it so
Gere! Be in touch! I will send you a photo i took from Glastonbury Festival. Ps. Have something else you may have a interest in! From the Arthur Lee benifit at Beacon Theater!
This may be the best version of this song. So glad it is here.
It's just fucking magnificent isn't it.
Cult artist just doesn't seem enough. It takes a while but once this bastard gets under your skin there is no going back. Thanks for the music arthur lee. Peace
Absolutely..I was given this as suggested listening and though I liked the sound, I didnt understand what all the fuss was about until I listened to it repeatedly for a while..then I couldnt wait to hear it again and it gets better everytime I go back to it.. the best songs are like that I think..
Yes, magnificent is the word. There's something unique about this song....the way the chorus comes to an end and the trumpet lingers over the guitar....that feeling, I can't explain it but it is magical
Is it OK to cry over this? Asking for a friend.
Arthur Lee awesome ,..in heaven forever !! rock on bruh !!
Saw the band 8 times during 2003, mostly in small clubs with the basic band, once at Man Academy with strings and horns. The first time was at a club called the Limelight in Crewe, it was renowned for tribute bands, when I first saw the listing in the monthly what's on programme, I presumed it was a Love tribute band, I thought great, that will be worth seeing, looking a bit closer I realised it was Arthur. I recorded the performance, there is a great bit, when between songs someone in the audience shouts out to the stage, "Arthur, my mates on the phone and he doesn't believe it's you, have a word with him" the phone gets passed to Arthur on stage and he starts chatting with the guy on the phone, PRICELESS.
Love this story!! 😅❤
Love that Trumpet solo, spot on..........
One of the most complex and beautiful albums ever.
The Damned did an excellent cover of this song as well!
Yes the original is the original of course but the Damned version is effin brilliant!
So did Calexico.
It's BEAUTY .. Makes me cry
A brilliant album. Considered by many to be the best of the 60's.
The best of all time.
Over-rated at best.....a downer compared to "Da Capo" . What HAPPENED ?
Beautiful. I'm speechless. Arthur Lee hasn't aged a bit and his voice is beautiful. His guitar playing is phenomenal. It made me cry. This IS Love.
rebbe1000 he passed in 2006 :(
I. Love. Arthur. Lee and love. Great musicians. Great show. Thanks for sharing..⭐️🎶✨🎶☀️
too bad Arthur had such a sad life, he was brilliant.
Great that Jools got this together, a blast from the past that is probably the best ever live performance captured on film -- all of 36 years after the original recording. Thanks again, Jools - the best music show on TV for more than two decades now.
Absouloutly brilliant.
Sends shivers down my spine,
So true. Every single time I hear it.
OH Yeah a funny shiver thing. I heard that about you.
Surely one of the greatest singles from the 60s. Yet it only just scraped into the top 30 in the UK.
I had not heard of Arthur or Love till now and i'm 61. He slipped by me.
Music doesn't get any better than this.
I got into Love in my 20s and I was blown away with someone who thought just like me. I've never had that experience before or since. Everyone is trying to be cool or weird. Arthur Lee was the man.
Love that man. R.I.P Arthur sadly missed
A defining 60's classic . Just a great great song it's got everything. Thank you Arthur
one of the very best albums I have ever had..and one of the few albums from the 60s that never sounds dated or old..always fresh and original..if I was to choose the best album of the 60s this would in my mind..beat just about anything by the Beatles or the Stones really..
i have to agree with you
Totally agree.....makes Pepper sound like just a very nice pop album
I was working at a club called the troc when this happened to be going on. I was a new fan. Thank you for posting
You are kidding, right?
AMEN BROTHER! RIP Arthur
There is no other song that quite hits me like this one ☝️
Fantastic! This song never gets old. It's great music in any era! Arthur Lee & Love live on!
The most under rated group/songs on the 60'! GREAT STUFF.
yip
*ever
the RV ER'S I agree.
just cuz didn't want to
This is so true. I discovered them far later the release of their albums when they were extremely rare on vinyl in the late 70s-early 80. Same for the Seeds and 13th Floor Elevator. I remember guys desperately searching for their albums in the early 80s and you couldn't find any good copy of them unless spending a lot of money in some record shops specialized in old stuff.
Damn , I love this so much! Heard the Calexico cover first, which is awesome but the original is out of this world!
Arthur lee and this band was the best example of great talent and creativity not being a shooin for commercial success
I'm listening to Tom Petty's Buried Treasure today on Sirius XM and this song came on and I was transfixed. Almost got chills and felt emotional and weepy. I so remember it and I was a young teen in Los Angeles when the song came out. This is a beautiful live rendition. From the web: Love guitarist Bryan MacLean wrote this as a tribute to his mother, who was a flamenco dancer.
Love were a psychedelic rock band from Los Angeles. This fit the psychedelic sound with a mix of strings, horns and guitars.
The group was led by Arthur Lee. They had one #33 American hit in 1966 with "7 And 7 Is" but they are most remembered for this. Lee was sentenced to 12 years in jail in 1995 for shooting at a neighbor who'd protested at the noise from Lee's stereo. MacLean left the band to join a Christian ministry. McLean dies of a heart attack on Christmas day, Dec 25, 1998 at age 52.
Hello 👋🏼 Meryl Burke
Met the great man in 04:) he put his arm round me and thanked me for listening to his musc.
What a fantastic and underrated group!
Hello 👋🏼 Evelyn Lee
Thank goodness this high quality concert was done for this unique artist. I grew up in a time when every band had to play “My Little Red Book”……but there was and is so much more. LOVE Forever!
grew up on LOVE...they were my favorite band....Forever Changes is a masterpiece...so glad I found this
"Forever Changes" The greatest album to come out of the sixties. Even better than that one by those four lads from Liverpool.
I grew up with Love and Forever Changes was a masterpiece!
Beautiful
I miss Arthur Lee... :(
So do I..
love every part of him . before his time
+Tom Macan many thanks from this old hippie. brilliant stuff !
me too
+Brent Mireau just cannot get enough of his genius, so ,so sad that he's gone.
God, what a song. What a song.
No other band in history with the cool swagger and mystique brilliance of LOVE!!!!!.........
The world misses you, Arthur❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
God bless Arthur Lee. Legend.
I played this to my son He thought they were shit He changed his mind when he went to see them at The Royal Festival Hall in London He is now No 1 fan The irony is I never saw them What a great band in their original form and with Baby Lemonade We were blessed
Until a mate at work said he was going to see him live in Birmingham and let me borrow his album, i thought this song was by The Moody Blues! So glad i went with him to the gig!
"Forever Changes" is one of the greatest "rock" albums ever-have been listening to it since it's release in the late 60's-never gets old!!
This song is so much ahead of its time.
Those Guitars the whole Sound reaches the Heart... oh Joy
LOVE!!! THe greatest Band that ever walked on to a stage! The music is so alive!I I was very lucky to have met Arthur twice at the Glastonbury Festival.One of my photos i took of Arthur was used at his funeral.Do we miss him!
That’s incredible! What is he like in person? I heard he didn’t like performing very much
@@lyricsronen i met him briefly at the Garage (London Venue) - he was just walking around out front pre show!
Seems like he lived it to me - Shades, boots and Hat...
walked the walk.
Amazing - grateful for the experience.
❤
@@lyricsronen Lee said, because “we had the West Coast sewn up,” and because “I didn’t trust nobody. I wasn’t going on the road and play for $20 when I could play at the Fillmore for thousands. I had it made in one place, and I was kind of leery of going to a place I’d never been. I think I definitely made a few wrong decisions.”
@@oppothumbs1 Wow that's wild man. What a great man, and a fantastic band! Love was so formative for me in terms of my overall taste in music
@@oppothumbs1 I remember hearing from one of the Elektra employees he didn't want to tour the world because he didn't want to lose contact with his drug dealer in California lol.
what an arrangement - what a song.
Beautiful song!! This came out i was 7. Elektra records. A time when Rock music was changing. 🎶
#lovelovelove I was safe in mums tummy when this first came out probably why I love this and similar music xxxxx
Hello 👋🏼 Margaret Barr
what a great song from the 60s one of the best
love foreverchanges, fantastic lp
That movie brought me here and I am happy I did...This is now one of my all time favorite tunes.
If one can describe a piece of music as absolutely delicious? This is IT!!!
BEST SONG EVER
Love. Brilliant.
Adore this, always have uk 🇬🇧 '23 RIP
Stunning performance of a Stunning Song , from a Stunning LP! God Bless Arthur Lee and LOVE! dx
Sorry Bryan MacLean wasn’t alive for this! Such a truly underrated band. R.l. P. Arthur Lee & Bryan MacLean
superb, how can anyone not like this????????????
Masterpiece, it is my signature album of my life.............
Magnificent ✌️❤️😁🎭
Unique and beautiful!
Perfection. Timeless perfection
Michael Schenker would be proud to hear this rendition. BRAVO!!!
Such a hauntingly beautiful song with a wonderful twist of dry humour. I discovered this song at the funeral of a colleague and while I’ll always associate it with a sad occasion I’ll always be forever grateful I discovered it.
It was a song against the free love movement that Arthur and Bryan collaborated on as Bryan didn't like his girlfriend going out all night with others. Hence "I heard a funny thing" because someone else is telling the singer they could be in love with almost everyone.
I shade tears arthur in the heaven
I saw Love with Arthur Lee on the Forever Changes tour. Terrific show! Got to chat with a couple band members afterward. Arthur chose not to meet with the fans. He was ill with Leukemia.
What else can be said of the great Arthur Lee? This music transcends the time of it's creation....super art and genius!!! Glad he lived among us!!
So much beauty in here.
Unspeakably beautiful.
I never tire of this song. Never.
I saw these guys live in Birmingham just after he was released from jail. He said that his fans in Britain kept him going so the first thing he wanted to do when he got out was tour over here. They basically played the Alone Again Or album all the way through, plus other tracks. They were BRILLIANT!!! Such a shame when he died not long after. I was looking forward to seeing him play again
I came to his music only last week. I’m simply overawed at his talent.
I was in high school , then they're first album was really great. It was they're title album ..this song was in the whole mix .. totally underrated band
One of the most beautiful love songs ever. ... ..
Oh Arthur ❤ you were the greatest ❤❤❤
Over and over again, real people, playing instruments, making beautiful music.
one of the greatest songs of the 1960s
I've recently re-discovered Forever Changes, playing it all the tme now at home and in my car. Love AndMoreAgain. and Love Love.
Just goosebumps is all I have to say
don't you just love this and those horns?
This song, a marvel. Take the lyrics, take the music. Take it together. It's Arthur lee.
Written by the late Bryan McLean.
Saw Arthur on this tour at the tiny Limelight club in Crewe, So crowded people were nearly hanging from the ceiling, never realized that so many people loved Arthur's music ( though it is a Bryan tune !) as much as I did, He opened with this, no horns, no strings but a night of pure magic....The world needs Love.
On another level this song
Fabulous. Miss Arthur and Bryan MacLean.
One of the FINEST CUTS IV EVER HEARD!!!! ManyThanx From Costa Mesa!!!!,
This performance gave Arthur Lee a time to really feel appreciated.
Excellent song! Well performed. The brass section hit on all notes!
This is a great video. www.uncut.co.uk/reviews/love-love-story-7729/

Arthur Lee is the coolest, glad I got to see him around this time at the Fillmore
I LOVE Arthur Lee + LOVE.
for me this song is one of the jewels of contemporary music . I said ¡¡¡¡¡
Minus the strings I saw them do this show in Royal Oak about this time. I cried.
I cry every time I hear it. :)
