Spaceland & knitting factory reviews

Morley Bartnoff:

Love... Me? Two Times

Who? Love with Arthur Lee and Baby Lemonade

Where? Spaceland in Silverlake and
The Knitting Factory In Hollywood

When? Tuesday, April 2
And Wednesday, May 1st

Why? Because powerful music can uplift your spirit and it has the capacity to
re shape the way you think and feel about your life and the world around you

OK What happened tell us about it

sing the song bro

From Arthur's tambourine intro springs forth Little Red Book and i can't
Explain but everything is perfectly outtasite

The roar of the Spaceland's Sould out audience's cheers!

Not just cheers, but A welcome home roar that has been such a long time
coming'
How Did it make me feel?

I was so Glad To be hear
in the moment
glad to wittiness a Folk Rock Resurrection
with my friends and neighbors
in complete contrast to the CNN nightmare of the past year,

This is Self expression re born
Passion expressed in song
that can only be described as Magical.
One of the best shows I've ever seen by any band ever.

How's that for starters?

this band has only just begun to build steam
IF you are about to see them live soon be prepared
change
forever

At Spaceland, billing themeless as the Andmoreagains, this secret surprise
show had such advance street buzz that the
line Around Silver Lake Blvd., On A Tuesday Night Mind you, had already Grown
To capacity even
before the end of sound check

Alone Again Or, Orange Skies
Between Clark and Hilldale, Singing Cowboy and She
Comes in Colors all exploded, reverberating off the Silver Lake hills as if
To say
"I've been waiting my time again
and that time is now
This music is ready for another spin around the turntable of your mind"

Well, how did his voice sound?

Somehow MR. Lee has Tapped into his inner Johnny Mathis conjuring up notes
that I bet most people thought he could only hit in the recording Studio
I kid you not! he's never sounded better and when you see the show you will
see the Clear Light

Baby lemonade is the perfect band for Arthur, besides the fact that
they may now be the longest consistent personal in Love history
but because they were born to play this music
The harmonies By Rusty
Squeezebox and Mike Randle sound like 3 Arthur's double tracked at the
Record plant on analogue tape.
and the steaming guitar Solos of MR. Randle during these two shows can only
be descried as sizzling

as a Matter of
fact I think I'm going to refer to him as the Sizzler from now on

However during the middle of Signed Dc Mr. Lee whips out his mouth organ
playing with a soulful blues intensity that you can't help be reminded that
this man must be trans channeling some serious musical emotion

As if the Bending Harmonica Notes coming form Arthur's mouth were somehow
telepathically communicating

Been There

Done That

Now I'm back

Can you dig it?

I knew that you could
-----------------------------------
By the time the 2nd show at the Knitting Factory, word of month had
spread so quickly that the Venue-3
times bigger then Spaceland-sold out in no time. and once again Arthur
proved that not only is he back,
but he's more focused and sounding better then ever
and In control of his game ... completely

mind blow really

A Wish List Daydream perhaps?

Then let's watch it manifest together shall we?

First time ever versions of
You Set The Scene and Bummer in the
Summer, take on such even more
poignant meaning
. Being that this is the Return of one of Rocks most important voices
that would not be silenced. not to be locked away. but chose consciously to
come back at this most important time
What could be better now then to have the world share this experienced
energy called Love

And in the End Lennon was right you know? All You Need is Love
