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.

If you intend to use any of the scans, photos, posters or anything else from my site, please contact me.
Keeping the music of Love alive by making new sites is very welcome, but the least you can do if you "borrow" something from my site is to contact me. Something here might even be copyrighted.

Just back from holiday on Crete, Greece to find the news about the Baby Lemonade tour:
"It is with great regret that we have to inform our friends and fans that due to the present economic climate the forthcoming UK tour has been postponed indefinitely.
This decision has not been taken lightly as we know how disappointed you will all be and we very much appreciate your continued support. If you purchased a ticket already you can obtain a refund at the point of purchase.
Please note this does not affect our show at the Temple Bar in Santa Monica on 16 September and we look forward to seeing you there!
Please stand by for a very important announcement. "

What a shame!

There's a fantastic videoclip on the Arthur Lee site with Arhur playing drums and singing Try a little tenderness. Not quite sure who's playing with Arthur, but it could be Melvan Whittington on guitar and Sherwood Akuna on bass

On the new season of Entourage playing over the credits is Seven And Seven Is.
