An album that lives in the realm of good and bad
Forever Changes Live
Love Forever Changes
There is no better album than the original Forever Changes, but through the years all of Arthur Lee's live recordings of titles from this album were at best shoddy, ill advised, crude recordings. Now, after a stay in the California pen, Arthur Lee emerges a new man, and the music is his testimony.
The original Forever Changes is an album that demands to be heard. The apocalyptic album is equally hopeful for the future. It sounds like no other album. I will elaborate on it further in the future when it is not 5 in the morning and I have a greater idea of how to write blogs.
I will however state that the band's music has been covered by Robert Plant, the Ramones, Rush, Alice Cooper, Billy Bragg, the Damned, Urge Overkill, Ted Nugent, Mazzy Star, the Hooters, and others. Love deserves to be in the Rock Hall of Fame beside the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and Bob Dylan.

Whoops, I just commented about this and realized you had a post about it. Forever Changes is one of the truly great albums in rock n' roll history. If forced to pick a top ten, it would definitely be one of them. And like I said in the other post, the live DVD is pretty good. Age (and prison) has roughed up Arthur Lee a bit, put he (and his quality band and orchestra) pull it off...
