This is a site that attempts to provide a comprehensive list of Love gigs. The dates have been checked against the records of the venue, newspaper ads, posters, radio spots and other independent verifications, and is being updated regularly. Where there is no independent confirmation, a question mark is posted next to the date. Many of these listings reflect several nights at a particular venue. With Clubs such as the Beverly Bowl, Brave New World, or Bido Lito's... it reflects many months. It may surprise some of you, how often the group actually played!

This is a superb and fascinating resource, Gatemouthmore. I especially appreciate the way the gigs and dates have been matched up with personnel - this must have been highly taxing for the years 1969-71! The only inaccuracy I am aware of is as follows:
March 7th 1970. Although Love were originally scheduled to play The Pavilion, Bath that night, they in fact played the University of Sheffield. I've at least two friends who were there and they remember Arthur Lee's 25th birthday being celebrated by the rest of the band. Additionally, there is independent confirmation of this late change of venue in 'Issue 2' of Dave Housden's The Castle - in which he examines that first UK tour in great depth. Cheers.  |

A Gentleman named Bruno Ceriotti, who runs the site. Is the excellent music historian, and scholar, who compiled all of the data. I'm sure he will fix this, on his next update.
PS: The listing has been amended!  |

 THANKS! I found 2 shows I was at.
Hullubaloo 1966
Whiskey A-Go-Go 1969( or 1970?)
I can only guess certain dates for those shows with similar dates, but, at least I managed to remember anything at all!
I do have vivid memory of Arthur stepping way up to the front of the Hulluballo stage , blowin his harp on ,"Signed DC".
The Whiskey show was blazing, loud, and , I was blazing , too, and my ears were ringing for hours after! So much energy overload.....

Same here. There are two dates for New York where it's noted that they played at the New Generation Club and Steve Paul's Scene. Now I know I did see the band during that period (late 60's) but I swear I don't recall those venues now!! |

Hi guys!
Bruno Ceriotti is here!. First of all sorry for my very bad english but I'm Italian. Thanks for appreciate my work about Love, one of the greatest rock band of all-time!!. Also I have a great honor to spoke with former band members (and now good friends of mine!) Johnny Echols, Michael Stuart, Alban "Snoopy" Pfisterer, Bobby Beausoleil and they gave me some help to compiled this "Love Family Tree - Performance List". However this list in one of my blog, is only a little start to a big project I've in my mind from two years now. My dream is written a book about Love, a day-by-day chronology of all the band events from when their members born during the 40s to 1971 when they played their last show as Love (you know, after that they became Arthur Lee & Love). Johnny Echols, Michael Stuart, Snopopy and Bobby Beausoleil but also Vince Flaherty (Love backed him in some songs in 1965) and Allan Talbert (former member of various pre-Love bands with Arthur and Johnny) tell me all their memories and aknowledge about the band and related stuff, so I'm now try to putting together all of this and later self-published my book about Love. So, stay tuned, my "Love brothers"!!!.
cheers,
Bruno |

Wasn't that the group of students who filmed parts of the show? I believe Michael tells about it in his book.That footage was never found, would be awesome if one of the crew discovers it!

"My Little Red Book" by Bruno Ceriotti and with the forewords by Johnny Echols and Michael Stuart-Ware, is the most comprehensive, compelling, complete, immensely detailed, impeccably researched, and meticulously compiled account ever published about LOVE, one of the most influental bands in the history of rock. The ebook collates eye-witness accounts, tour dates and gig locations, record releases and reviews, recording studio data and contemporary interviews, and is illustrated with a rare collection of period photographs and print memorabilia. All this is woven into an absorbing day-by-day narrative format that tells the story of LOVE in a way that will surprise and delight even their most dedicated fans!!!.
This book tells the band’s story, but also describes the life story of each of the members of LOVE: where they came from, what their roots where, how they see their time with the band, and what they experienced afterwards. It has been written with the close participation of LOVE's former members: Johnny Echols, Michael Stuart-Ware, Alban 'Snoopy' Pfisterer and Craig Tarwater.
This is a truly TERRIFIC book to treasure. This book will stay by your side like an encyclopedia which you will study and refer to for years to come. The author traces LOVE's story in a maniacally detailed chronology and leaves no stone unturned!!!.
"My Little Red Book" is available only in digital editions (ebook, 133 pgs, 91 photos) only through the official website: http://mylittleredbook.weebly.com/ |
