Video Description

A feature length documentary telling the story of Los Angeles band Love and their singer Arthur Lee. The film 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. Other interviews include Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream), Mani (The Stone Roses/Primal Scream), John Head (Shack) Ken Livingstone and MPs Stephen Pound & Peter Bradley, who passed an Early Day Motion in Parliament to proclaim the band's 1968 masterpiece "Forever Changes" The greatest album of all time. The film also includes rarely seen television performances from the band from 1966 & 1970, and rare & unseen archive photographs.

I saw this film at the London Film Festival in 2006, and must say its one of the best music documentaries I've ever seen.

Though never a huge commercial success, Love were one of the best and most interesting bands to come out of Los Angeles in the mid to late sixties, as this film illustrates perfectly.

Featuring terrific and insightful interviews from all the main players in the story - the hugely charismatic Arthur Lee (his last ever interviews), Johnny Echols, Michael Stuart, Alban "Snoopy" Pfisterer, Elektra Records head Jac Holzman, producer Bruce Botnick, arranger David Angel and The Doors' John Densmore - Love's story is told in a wonderfully entertaining fashion, and is put into the context of the turbulent times in the USA in the sixties, and features some wonderful archive footage, a memorable scene where Arthur Lee revisits The Castle, where Love lived together at the height of their popularity, and is filled throughout with Love's marvellous music.

This film is revealing, hilariously funny at times, controversial and moving, it really does have it all. It should serve as a brilliant document of a brilliant band for long term fans, and also as a wonderful introduction to the band for newcomers.

Like CA Brooker, I also saw Love Story at the London Film Festival back in 06 (why has it taken so long to get a DVD release?!). I thought it was near fautless. Its told by all the relevant players in the story, there was none of the usual journalists they roll out for these things giving me their dodgy interpretations of events - it was all first hand. Also (and strange as this might sound for a music doc) - the music featured heavily in the film, songs were left to run and meander thru the story, there was none of your frustrating 5 second song snippets here. It was great to see Arthur returning to old haunts (the walk from Dorsey High to the Capitol Building & the infamous Castle), Johnny Echols was so eloquent, so was Michael. Snoopy was funny as hell and slightly nuts! It was just interesting from beginning to end. I'll even admit that the final 'where are they now' clips brought a tear to my eye.

Great film/docu about one of my favourite bands! Not only is this a must see for fans, it is also essential if you dig the 60's and it's music.LOVE wasn't just a band from the 60's, they were one of the highlights at the LA Strip with Arthur Lee as their leading man.
There are interesting interviews with Arthur Lee, Johnny Echols, Jac Holzman, John Densmore and manny more.I am a fan of the West Coast music and in the inteviews people talk about the clubs, the girls, the places to be and most important the music.I noticed that when people, like John Densmore and Jac Holzman, talk about LOVE, they get very emotional.It was a remarkable Band and I am very thankfull that we now have this film and can relive the time when Arthur takes us on a Trip with never before seen footage and lots of LOVE's music.
To quote Jac Holzman; "This is the stuff of which dreams are made"!
