The last edition of the Forever Changes concert came in 2 versions without any indication on the packaging, or explanation anywhere. The difference was in the bonus tracks. Each version had 4 non-forever changes tracks filmed on the tour, different ones on each cd, so you had to buy 2 cds to get all 8 - it was just luck that I found out, as I was buying a few copies for family and friends as there no way of telling which bonus tracks were on the dvd. Also there was a HIDDEN (yes,weird! read about it in reviews of the older edition of the dvd) bonus track common to both - Singing cowboy.

So, to get to the point - when I saw this advertised I rather hoped it would have ALL the bonus tracks gathered together But no! We get 5 out of 9 - missing are August, Signed DC, My little Red Book and the aforementioned Singing Cowboy, which funnily enough are by far the best of the bonus tracks. What a joke. I suppose there aren't vast fortunes to be got out of Love fans, so I doubt it's really an attempt to milk us for as much as possible - just incompetence, or indifferent thoughtlessness on the part of whoever is responsible for these. Not good enough!


I'm reluctant to give this less than five stars, but really for the above reasons this should get one star, but considering the quality of what is on it is worth about 100 stars - a protest 4 stars.

A perfect replay on one the the best albums of all time. The CD is good but the live DVD is great!

The only thing that would make this any better would be if Bryan were a part of it.Alas it was not to be. Great to hear these tunes given the benefit of modern recording techniques.RIP Bryan and Arthur, together again.

I was always a fan of Love and had their first two albums on vinal. I also have a greatest hits CD reissue. A few years ago much to my amazement I saw their familiar logo as an upcoming show at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA. Where had they been for the past 40 years? Could this really be? I got my tickets immediately. It was one of the best rock concerts I have ever seen and it was just a short time after the Albert Hall concert in this CD/DVD set. It's amazing that with only Arthur Lee remaining they could so faithfully reproduce one of the all time greatest rock albums plus the best songs from those first two albums, Hey Joe and 7&7 Is. It's so sad that Arthur is gone but he has left us with memories that I never will forget.

Let me just say this- the version of Red Telephone on this CD may well be the best rock n roll cut ever recorded.
