Last Update: 22. august 2010

 

This is an atempt to gather as much information as possible about Arthur Lee and the members of Love through the years.

I know this is not complete and therefore I would request that anyone with any additional information please send it to me.

I'm working on a comprehensive, and complete list of all of Love's tours - past, present and future -- and need a lot of dates, so please take a look and see if you can help me with some. I also need any and all information about setlists if you have any. I have many questions regarding recordings and other things so it would be great if you could contact me if you see any mistakes or have any additions that will make this a better website.

These pages couldn't have been made without help from a lot of Love fans all over the world. Thanks to all of you.
See copyrights.

Keep on shining.

June 25. 2004:

Just received "Love On Eart Must Be" and what a cd!!
The new songs are well worth the wait.
Rainbow In The Storm is absolutely brilliant. Strings and horns are amazing, wonder if it's the Stockholm Horns 'N Strings?
All I want Is You a catchy song and a great singalong
Love Me, a happy regae tune. Arrangement in Cat Stevens Another Saturday Night style.
The "old" ones, Message To Pretty is great, but doesn't add anything new.
Feathered Fish has always been a great rocker and this version is no exception. It sounds a lot like the version from 1994.

The only minus with the cd is it only lasts for 14:58, but 3 brand new songs is better than none.
Now I can't wait untill we get a complete album.


June 24. 2003:

Added more photos to contributors and fans.
Still need more. Keep them coming.
