Another 60s icon gone---Arthur Lee

AML killed my mother too.

Robert Plant's 're-invention' since 1998 as the Priory of Brion and now with the Strange Sensation [Portishead's rhythm section] has been heavily driven by Arthur Lee/Love's music. He did a benefit gig in New York the other month to raise cash for his health care.

A new cover of Alone Again, Or has become a frequently played track here recently. It has been good hearing it again. What took them so long? Little Red Book, 7 and 7 Is. I saw them in concert in LA. The line up had Iron Butterfly, Sopwith Camel, The Seeds and other exclusively West Coast bands no one here would have heard of. Flowers thrown all over the stage at them. All so unimaginable now.

A Robert Plant link again. The Fudge played the Rock Cafe' in Stourbridge last year , with Mr.Plant in the audience. Someone [Tim Bogert?] was taken ill mid concert- and just as everyone thought the gig was off; Robert got on stage, shared some anecdotes with Carmine Appice and the audience and then sang some Fudge songs himself!

Iron Butterfly had an FM mega-hit w/ "Inagaddadavida" (sp?).Spoofed on "The Simpson's".Vanilla Fudge had another that got a lot of national radio time, "You Keep me Hanging On";popular enough to be covered by my brother's band in Florida c.1966.

yep a cover of the 1966 supremes hit was in fact 1967 here,followed by eleanor rigby,and where is my mind,the lp the beat goes on was a clever idea starting with edison going all through the war etc.mike johnson wrote:
