Hi Tina
October 14, 2004 Scottish Rite Auditorium, Collingswood NJ. Real nice art-deco auditorium, lots of wood, and decent acoustics. I sat and talked with both Arthur and Johnny after the show...about Laurel Canyon.
This one was the night after I saw them at Town Hall, NYC 10/13/04.
Such great memories

27th March 2005 at The Rocket in London. Unfortunately I can't recall it with a huge amount of affection, it seemed off centre to me.
I always recall AL as he was in 2002/3 - those shows are amongst the greatest I've ever seen by anyone.... |

same as Scully, The Rocket, North London 27-3-05.
W as a strange atmos, with the Northen Soul crowd, Mods et. al....
i was sitting on the stage looking at teh crowd aftetr Love.s set, when i felt the presence of someone to my left,It was Arthur peeking out at the scene, i gave him the international "thumbs up" sign and he did the same. I did,nt want to hassle him, as he looked like he didn,t need it. Eventually he moved across the stage next to me, i said "Nice gig man" Arthur said "Thank you man" we shook hands and he went down in to the crowd to sign autographs and pose for telefone_camers shots with Rusty acting as minder.
thats my main mempory of the gig, that and sitting with the mods chatting till the 1st tube started at 6.A.M.  |

I last saw Arthur perform live on 5 April 2005 at the Concorde 2 in Brighton. It was the culmination of a three night "Love-Fest" starting in Sheffield on April 3, followed by Norwich on the 4th and finally Brighton. Arthur and Johnny signed my ticket that night - it's sitting here in a frame now.

park west, chicago october 8th 2004... i think it was the best show of the three times i saw him. i feel really lucky to have been there. johnny was a surprise that night, my friends and i didn't know he'd be there. arthur had an attitude, and just blew everyone away.
to say he's missed is a massive understatement. |

Bristol Bierkeller, March 2005. The first and only time I saw Arthur perform live. What a night.
This is the time and this is the time and it is time, time, time, time, time, time, time.....

| The Academy, Manchester early summer 2002. Arthur allowed the rest of the band to get into position before taking to the stage himself - thereby causing the sell out crowd to chant his name repeatedly in frenzied expectation. When he did appear, he was drinking from a bottle of mineral water and beaming at the appreciation shown. Then he started tapping his tambourine in perfect timing for 'Little Red Book' - and we just knew that the old magic had returned. Mind you, the concert was very nearly abandoned after about the third song when a crazed fan threw water over the stage. Arthur flew into a rage, repeatedly shouting "Hey man you can't just throw water over my guitarist - you try that again and I'm out of here!" Much later on, Arthur took a mouthful of water and then spewed it from the stage and over the earlier offender. He then laughed and said "Hey man, you know I didn't mean it!" Does anyone else remember all this? It was a fantastic concert and there must have been more than a thousand people there. But then I suppose that the best concert is always the one you were at! |

John,
I remember that show as one of the best I saw Love play. When the crowd chanted Arthur's name over and over I was so proud of the town in which I was born, it brought a tear to my eye.
Total genius.

Thanks for the link - and for the recollection. Manchester is my home town as well - and according to Arthur Lee's comments in the 'Four Sail' booklet, it is also Drachen Theaker's. The thing that I found really moving from that gig was the age profile of the audience - there was a girl miming and jiving away next to us who cannot have been more than twenty and yet she seemed to know every word to every song - for some reason I especially noticed this on 'Singing Cowboy'. |
