Product Description

Love were the one of the most important bands of the 1960s. As a house band at the Whisky A Go Go in the 60s, Arthur Lee and Co. developed one of the best live shows and a catalog of music which is legendary. In late 1978, Lee and co-founder Bryan Maclean toured one last time, and this is the official last recording of that era.

Although the original tapes were not recorded on the most sophisticated equipment of the day, this historic performance is truly an exciting one of a kind document, produced by Arthur Lee himself, which after one listen becomes the fans' personal concert experience forever.

The Bryan Mcclean contributions of Old Man, Alone Again Or and Orange Skies are truly a nice addition to this cd, as it shows the audience admiration in the applause and cheers throughout.

Includes new remastering by Joe Reagoso (Yes, Johnny Winter), original picture disc graphics, two bonus tracks and three Forever Changes tunes. A win-win for all the Love and Arthur Lee fanatics!

Arthur & Bryan 's 10th Anniversary Reunion of LOVE
This is the only LOVE record I missed out on ever getting.It was a picture disc.And all the reviews I found on it were all bad.I read an interview with Bryan MacLean once,and he spoke about it with such loathing and disgust,stating something to the effect that he would like to buy every copy of it and burn them.So,I figured it must be pretty bad.
But when I saw that it,along with Arthur Lee-Arthur Lee,were both coming out on CD,I lept at the chance to pre-order them.And after hearing this live performance for the very 1st time,I really can't see why Bryan was so embarassed by it.Part of it was due to the fact that it had been recorded poorly.And perhaps the picture disc LP may have sounded bad to him.Picture disc's did sound worse than regular pressing's usually.But I also recall him saying that his performance on it was awful,and that he ruined 'Old Man' It's true,that his lead vocal on it sounds like he's a bit nervous,and he is rushing a little,but his voice is absolutely gorgeous,as always.Bryan was a perfectionist with high standards.As for Arthur,he's the consumate Arthur throughout.Effortless perfection.They always seemed to go together like grits & greens.If their individual personalities could've merged together in more perfect harmony,they really could've been,as others have said,another Lennon&McCartney.But more like Lee&MacLean,a very different thing.Regardless of the slightly inferior sound quality,what we have here is an important historical document.A gift really.And one that I can certainly appreciate for the rest of my life.Thanks y'all.

SIZZLING HOT!!!
Love Live at the Whiskey is frigging excellent! The versions of the songs live are so different from the studio recordings. My favorite on the cd is "Signed D.C.". This live version is very alive with amazing guitar licks, cool harmonica work and just dramatic. It's not the softer subdued version you normally hear. Every song on this cd is worth having. I highly recommend "Love Live: Whiskey a-go-go" to all Arthur Lee & Love fans and anyone who loves some kick a*s music!

Love's Live at Whisky A Go-Go is a Mixed Bag
This live reunion of Arthur Lee and remnants of the original Love band of the 60's at Whisky a Go-Go, has some very high and unique moments on it worth hearing. For me, the high point was Brian MacLean's singing on the song he wrote for Forever Changes, Old Man. As Arthur said 25 years later on the Forever Changes Concert CD in London after he sings Old Man, "I wish Brian was here to sing this", you now can go to the Whisky A Go-Go CD and see what he was talking about! It is this sing-songy melodically free vocal version by Brian that connects Love's and Arthur Lee's journey over 40 years and brings tears to one's eyes! For me, the rest of the Live album is icing on the cake. It is like Arthur was so excited to be playing again with Brian that at times this excitement bursts through the songs. For me Seven and Seven Is (with Brian's superb lead), And More Again, and Orange Skies stand out as my other favorites. Except for the poor sound quality of an older day tape recorder, this concert is unique, gratifying, and shows Love at their rawest best!!
