I actually met Arthur at the LA Airport in 2001. He was on his way for a concert in England! I shook hands with him and told him that I was a fan of his!
I think Arthur's peers were amazed with him and looked to Love's gigs at Whiskey A Go Go, to get the feeling of where music is going. Him and the group paved the way.
Great tune,,been listening to Love since 1965. They were one of several very good west coast bands (Spirit, Moby Grape,) which were truly great but were not destined to be superstars due to mismanagement, or some other issue. In Love 's case, Arthur Lee did not want to tour, and a couple of other things. There's a good yt vid on the making of 7&7 which explains a little of the backstory.
@@A_Pa-Plainjane Sorry for my late reply. You are right. I think to others bands like The Charlatans, The Beau Brummels or The Chocolate Watch Band who IMO were perhaps too" underground" to get a coherent & successfull recording career. Thx for the clue concerning Love & Arthur Lee. Plenty of great videos on YT : documentaries and live renditions. Unfortunately I never catch them live. Lucky U. All the best from Corsica
@@A_Pa-Plainjane Hi, so you are my neighbour, so to say. I live in the south of the island, my father is born near the tiny village where i'm staying. I'm glad to have a word with you because my cup of bourbon is garage & psychedelia music from the sixties mostly US, UK & Down Under bands. I really dig this golden age. Have a nice day and thx again for sharing your great memories with me & the YT community especially via HBO's channel, a box of pandora. Regards and take care, Philippe
I seen you twice during your stint with them. If I recalled correctly Arthur Lee threatened firing you or something to that extent and then you started playing 7is7 and the rest of band followed your lead. Arthur Lee rehired you. I believed this was at the Coconut Teaser.
Because Unfortunately they happen to burst upon the scene when there was an enormous amount of talent coming out of LA and other places. It was like a supernova of talent and Novelty and songwriting abilities. Nothing like it will ever happen again thanks to the Powell memo.
This came out in 1966-67. It brings back fond memories of growing up in my early teens in Southern California, walking the beach at Huntington, while hearing this song on all the transistor radios that were tuned into either KRLA or KHJ, and smelling the Coppertone lotion everywhere. Fond memories indeed.
As long as I remember, the first punk song I' ve ever heard. Arthur LEE not only invented PUNK ROCK but also invented "BLACK AND WHITE AMERICA". ARTHUR LEE you ' re my HERyO ! I think we didn' t realise what a great man he was ! he almost lost his life at the time Because he had the courage at that time to found with the fantastic Bryan Mac Lean the first multiracial group in history. What are we waiting for the "rock an roll hall of fame"?
Back in the late 80s, this song is one of the reasons that started my delving into the lesser known tracks from the late 60s, especially the garage psych scene. Still amazing.
They were better known in Europe partially because some of the basic form is based on Eurofolk even though it still uses rhythmic structures from RnB (especially Funk and Soul Music). Way classier approach than what The Beatles did honestly. Still could be considered Mod by some stretch also. Sort of a inversion of tropes.
I first heard this in 1987 on an LA oldies station. It was like WWHHAAAA???? Not Elvis, or the Supremes or most of what they usually played. "I gotta find who this is!!" I thought but they rarely ever said the name of the bands / artists! Luckily had my cassette recording when it came on! I learned the chords within a few days. It's mostly the 'Hey Joe' chords but like the Ventures meet Deep Purple meet a Wind Tunnel! I've been a LOVE fan ever since. I saw Arthur's 1991 version of the band play this 'live' without any warning & only 12 feet from the stage in a Santa Monica Club! POWWW!!!! [:-)]
Nicely done with the pics. One of my favorites on the radio in the 60s. Arthur was a friend I met in ‘73 when I was 17 at his home in North Hollywood. He kept in touch by phone through the years. We had an unusual connection of energies. Saw him play at a club on the coast with Melvan, Robert and Joe. I will never forget him. He didn’t forget me. Still love him with all my heart. I am thrilled so many love him too! He’s been gone a long time now. He’s not gone far. And Love Revisited plays on. Johnny, the one and only original with Arthur’s best Love band will blow your mind! Will see them in Brighton UK this summer. Mike Randle is a friend of mine. I connect to his energy too. He is crazy amazing you wouldn’t believe how genuine he is. There was no one like Arthur. And Diane was his true soul mate from the early 70s. Arthur was an original artist supreme. He has been with me when I needed him. You can feel him. Love never dies...✌️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
The late, great Arthur Lee. Temperamental sod with a real jealousy problem concerning Bryan MacLean, but hey. You got to love Love and Arthur's talent. I have a great album called 'IfYouBelieveIn' which is a collection of Bryan MacLean's songs and you can really hear the 'Forever Changes' style all over it.
Arthur Lee 💟 LOVE. 7 and 7 = Heavenlblueorange Thanks brother. I don't know who's on guitar on this, but Bryan MacLean was a great guitarist. LOVE will make you happy.
This is not even lose to "heavy metal". There were songs way more loud and heavy before this. This song is basically like early surf rock from the late 1950's and early 1960's. Search it out for yourself.
@@muffs55mercury61 Yes because this song is FAR from "heavy metal". If you want to hear the very first commercially available heavy metal song then listen to Cream's cover of "SPOONFUL" on their 1966 album "Fresh Cream" (the album version, not the live version). "7 and 7 Is" is more like surf rock (early surf rock - not that soft stuff that the Beach Boys and Jan & Dean vomited out).
My brother brought the 45 home out in Cal. in 66,67?..... Played on our 1 speaker flip top Silverstone record player, and....... This is an experience you will never forget!! Pretty heavy artistic expression Huh?????🎆🪅🌌🌠🥁🎈🎸👍🔊🔊🔊🔊

Blew out some car speakers with this song.
Best Band of all time Just 2 minutes of pure garage sound. The end is mind blowing. Respect!!!

I played drums with Arthur Lee and Love in 92 ‘ / 93’ ❤️🎵
Based
I saw Love in Liverpool about then. Epic night!

@@artjimenez6530 yes your memory serves you correctly 😎🥁
It's Arthur Lee ! Of course he's amazing ❤❤❤

How, did this song not win every award the was.
Love remains completely unappreciated. They made so much awesome music.

@@AlainJeanBaptiste-lt8mu Check out Benny Goodman Band. The first racially mixed rocking band, from the 1940s,😎
@@AlainJeanBaptiste-lt8muNo such thing as a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame anymore.
The (Benny) Goodman Band, in 1938, was actually the very first racially integrated band.😎

I remember my brother having this tune in his stash , bbefore he went off to War
Was this like surfer hippie music ? I heard the cover song on the movie point break ? Anyway cool song
This song changed my life.
7 &7 definitely..... IS !
Two sevens are lucky of course.
This is my kind of music hard driving, Psychedelic and trippy. Excellent footage! 👏🏻🎸😎
This song is everything!

What an amazing treat to see #ARTHURLEE and his Band, #LOVE in 1966!!! I had met Arthur a few times and videotaped him. #RockInPeace.
Arthur Lee is the most underrate musician of the rock era - with the possible exception of Nick Drake.
And maybe Tim Buckley !
Nicely done with the pics. One of my favorites on the radio in the 60s. Arthur was a friend I met in ‘73 when I was 17 at his home in North Hollywood. He kept in touch by phone through the years.

Diane is my aunt.
Much respect to the legacy!
I always was drawn to their music. Tell me, what happened with him getting arrested and going to prison on a gun charge? Seems out of character.
Fabulous footage for a fabulous song.
I wish I could 'like' this more than once.
The late, great Arthur Lee. Temperamental sod with a real jealousy problem concerning Bryan MacLean, but hey. You got to love Love and Arthur's talent. I have a great album called 'IfYouBelieveIn' which is a collection of Bryan MacLean's songs and you can really hear the 'Forever Changes' style all over it.
I've always loved LOVE because I discovered them on my own. They weren't flogged at me like so many other (but great) 60s bands.
Ok ,that might help to explain why thing got a bit wierd at the castle.
1966 all over again when I hear this song.
Incredible band
1 of my fav high school tunes ...wow !!!!
Gotta love Love ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
I enjoy this
TOP! Wonderful music video. ORNO! Cheers from Brazil! Enrico (Tio do Mato)
Very cool video! And fits the song, too!😎
My favorite psychedelic rock song.
One of the all-time best.
Agreed 👍
There is nothing psychedelic about this song. It is more like early surf rock from the late 1950's and early 1960's.
Arthur Lee 💟 LOVE.
7 and 7 = Heavenlblueorange
Thanks brother.
I don't know who's on guitar on this, but Bryan MacLean was a great guitarist.
LOVE will make you happy.
I think it's Johnny. Probably both him & Brian. Of course I'm guessing. Michael Stuart said they were doing this right before Kenny had him join.
Bryan played the relentless rhythm guitar on this.
Love it 😍🤩💜💜💜💜
This is so Awesome!!!!!
Great song, very nice video
The ending is awesome
Awesome
Another awesome edit to a great track
Oop ip ip Oop ip ip YEAH!
love it!
Amazing channel!!!!
I played my 8 track, with this song. 7 and 7 is.
hell yes
Yer gotta LOVE this shit ❤
happy birthday, Arthur
Reminds me of early who💖💖💖🥳🥳🥳❤❤❤👏👏👏😄😄😄
look at the smog in LA holy crap that is insane
Considered by some as one of the first heavy metal hits. Radio might not have been quite ready for this in 1966 and that may be why it peaked at #33.

Always thought this song was kind of a head of it's time...
Music Machine's 'Talk Talk's was even more so....
Loved this band since 71....😂
Like a shot in the arm. Boom bip bip YEAH!
This is a cool song everyone has covered it. I liked the Alice Cooper Cover of it from his solo album Special forces.
Kudos to Snoopy/Alban
Not the easiest song to drum with Arthur egging you on...
I first heard a cover by Alice Cooper around 1978to1980.
I believe it was 1981, or so the label of 45 said.
outfuckingstanding, esp for its time. AL was a genius
This song reminds me of Peter Green's "Oh, Well" pt. 1 and 2.
Like some bands and songs from the 1960s, they cut their time with a razor. Short, aggressive, imaginative.
THE IMAGES ARE FROM LATE 1967... I THINK I SAW MICHAEL STUART, AND NOT DON CONKA
BOOM BIPP BIPP.... YEA !!!!!
My brother brought the 45 home out in Cal. in 66,67?..... Played on our 1 speaker flip top Silverstone record player, and....... This is an experience you will never forget!! Pretty heavy artistic expression Huh?????🎆🪅🌌🌠🥁🎈🎸👍🔊🔊🔊🔊
When I was a boy I thought about the times I'd be a man
I'd sit inside a bottle and pretend that I was in a can
In my lonely room I'd sit my mind in an ice cream cone
You can throw me if you want to 'cause I'm a bone and I go
Oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip yeah
If I don't start cryin' it's because that I have got no eyes
My father's in the fireplace and my dog lies hypnotized
Through a crack of light I was unable to find my way
Trapped inside a night but I'm a day and I go
Oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah

Anyone know where this was filmed? Around Laurel Canyon? The Castle?
Great song but nothing can top Forever Changes, one of the greatest albums ever

Time capsule.
Absolutely love this , love LOVE 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄😎
Lot of lotta lotta drugs. Tune tho!
1:24 on is pure Pixies, decades before there was a Pixies. Nothing against them of course, but damn.
i love this!! where’d you find it !?
The images are from a 1968 promo film for the single Your Mind and we Belong Together. It's great!
@@AyliCarper ooo, i’m gonna watch it, thank you!
Early, psychedelic forebeareaurther Lee number 1.
this filmed at the castle?
For The Mad Russian (circa 1966)
Robert Plant covered this song at the EXIT Festival 12/07/2007, pretty not bad: th-cam.com/video/zKyiJj-ZYXI/w-d-xo.html
Robert Plant has admitted his love for Love on many occasions
Was this band surfers ? 🤙
no
@@oldbeatpete it sounds like it's got that groove vibe to it

Just a bunch of guys being dudes…

Home movie cameras which I'm betting was used here were rather primitive in those days.
this is NOT garage punk
what is it, then?
Definitely punk.
