Did anyone else see Robert Plant's plug for Forever Changes on tv last night? |

whoa....You know I enver saw that interview. It was a big revelation. Plant sure is a very eloquent speaker on Love's music and it was just great to hear him extolling and praising their music....FC .."eternal collection of songs"...."sang like an angel and an imprisoned tiger"...Maclean and Lee..great users of language...and and according to Plant..."they never give the show away". For sure, they produced great great art. Plant articulated much that I probably felt about their music but never was conscious of. I don't know were the accolades will go about the band but Plant rightly puts them where they should be as great artists. Plant certainly knows his muses!... |

Yes and I was one of them....there was something life-affirming about the way Arthur had reclaimed himself. But those shows also yielded Listen To My Song, August, Always See Your Face and Singing Cowboy. And I believe that the same period saw Arthur perform Willow Willow and Robert Montgomery. I actually think he was proud of his late 60s work as well....although of course, Forever Changes is beyond compare.
There are many songs from Arthur's late 60's catalog that I love, I must say.
Doesn't get much better than these tracks....
I Still Wonder
Listen To My Song
Doggone
Willow Willow
Nice to Be
Gather Round...is actually one of my all time favorite Arthur Lee tune.

The other guys who were in the group between 1968 and 1970 may look like footnotes in Love's history now...but the interviews with Arthur at the time show that he did think of them as part of a living band. |

This is excellent LK....many thanks. It is interesting though that he is another of those who seem to think almost entirely in terms of Love's first three albums. As I've posted many times, I've always been able to see the genius behind those in Four Sail and Out Here as well. But I recognise that not everyone sees things that way. I believe Robert Plant and Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull to be two of rock's most articulate spokesmen. 
Although we enjoy Four Sail & Out Here, even I think of the real LoVE as the Bryan & Arthur Love of the first three LPs....I think of the rest as (really) Arthur Lee albums with varying casts of band members called Love....excellent as they are, they just can't compare to that first magic.....
....At least for me...
and that was born up by the Love tours of the 2000's when Arthur finally returned to FC and that original Love magic that brought tears to the eyes of loyal UK fans.
Thank you Baby Lem for helping Arthur find that magic...we don't mention that enough!!

This is from the "center stage" button at Rhino -- an interview with Plant about
Love....maybe this has been seen here (not by me), and I don't think this is the BBC thing, but here is
an interview about Love with Plant.....rocker.
Robert has been a fan of Love right from the beginning...

Yes, nice one about 18.15 into the programme http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00vy78w/Robert_Plant_By_Myself/
We can spend all day arguing that Love’s Forever Changes is the greatest album of all time. But let’s not argue, it is. |

No, but Robert seems to be the biggest promoter of all things Love nowadays!
Good for Mr Plant!
