Album Description:
Love's DVD Love Story is a feature length documentary recounting the story of the quintessential L.A. band Love and their singer Arthur Lee. The DVD includes one hour of bonus features as well as liner note from Bobby Gillespie making this the definitive Love DVD. The film includes rarely seen TV performances from 1966 & 1970 plus rare and unseen archive photographs. Love Story premiered at the 50th London Film Festival and features interviews with band members Arthur Lee (sadly his last ever interviews), Johnny Echols, Bryan Maclean, Alban "Snoopy" Pfisterer, Michael Stuart, John Fleckenstein and Robert Rozelle, as well as Elektra Records head Jac Holzman, producer Bruce Botnick, The Doors' John Densmore and arranger David Angel.
Amazon.com:
After Arthur Lee's release from prison and his subsequent touring for the Forever Changes album which produced the 2005 DVD, The Forever Changes Concert, Love fans finally had some footage documenting the late Lee's effervescent performances as lead singer and songwriter of this great pop band. Previously, only secondhand biographies, such as Andrew Hulktrans' well-written book, attempted to piece together Love's intrigue and disintegration. But long have we craved vintage film evidence of this Los Angeles group's ascension from the Hollywood hippie underground. Love Story is a fabulous documentary tracing every detail of Love's formation and the release of each album. Spliced with ample vintage film clips, it is organized chronologically, beginning with the stories of Arthur Lee and Johnny Echols meeting in high school told from their perspectives. Infamous for their disagreements and Lee's notoriously difficult personality, Love Story explains from each band member's point of view, what happened to this band slated to become the next Doors or Byrds. Love Story is engaging and quite hilarious. History told by band members interviewed independently of one another makes for wild variation. Bryan Maclean candidly discusses his struggles for recognition, while other band mates, Echols, Snoopy Pfisterer, and Michael Stuart reveal what occurred behind the scenes. Of course, most entertaining throughout is Arthur Lee starring himself. In a never ending array of hats, bandanas, and shades, he cruises the filmmakers Chris Hall and Mike Kerry around his home turf by car, pointing out where he went to school, where the band used to live, and the spaces where clubs they played once thrived. As cliché as it may sound, Love Story really is indispensable for any Love fanatic. --Trinie Dalton

Firstly,I've given this dvd 4 stars because it lacks sufficient band footage to illustrate the special something Love had.However,this is not really a criticism of the product itself,as very little material is available(only 2-3 video's from Love's heyday),but it would have been nice to see the full renditions of "My Little Red Book"and "Message to Pretty".What this dvd does do,is evoke a time and place(1960s,Los Angeles,Sunset Strip)with informative,humourous recollections.The participants in Love ...

Superb film. I FINALLY was able to find it in NYC at Virgin (its sold out twice at Rocket Scientist in the Village on St Marks)
WAY too much for an import dvd at Virgin tho. I had to pay $50. OUCH!!
absolutely heartbreaking film. Oh god.. the one band that should've made it, had all the talent, but just burned out..
The film ends at Four Sail, dead. Which may be unfair. But then, how was one to follow up Forever Changes? It really is the best album ever recorded ... Read More

No one is a bigger fan of love.Saw them in LA many years ago on the strip.Was just about to buy this for the 20.99 asking price when it jumped to 21.99 then 26.99.Come on amazon this is not fair to the band.This is a must buy but old sixties people are not going to put up with corporate games and greed.Give us back the old price or we will go elsewhere.

Well, no Ali McGraw, but you do have a top notch documentary about America's great neglected musical genius, Arthur Lee, and his band. The narrative is smart and well paced, the interviews wise, revealing, and occasionally hilarious, and the paucity of live performance footage forgiveable in light of the fact that no one knew at the time that a cult legend was being born. If you are into Love, or want to get into Love, this DVD is a necessity. I think three things happened in the latter part of Arthur's ... Read More

The only thing keeping this from being a 5-star DVD is the shortage of original band footage. There really isn't a whole lotta Love footage out there, so the band's many fans would've wanted to see some more clips of Arthur and the guys in action. But interviews are what make up the bulk of the doc, and the interviews are fascinating, revealing, informative . . . There's lots of Arthur himself talking, lots of Johnny Eccols, some old Bryan MacLean footage, some with Jac Holzman, some Bruce Botnick, other ... Read More
