Great show! Singer with an amazing soulful voice, talented backing band with added tastful string and horn accompaniment. The nearly full Birchmere audience digging every minute of the show. Very few artists can so easily slip between garage rock raves up to songs that would make a belle and sebstaine fan tear up.
Love's classic "Forever Changes" should be required listening for all Echo and Bunnymen and Belle & Sebstaine fan. Hell "Forever Changes" is just required listening to anyone that considers themselves a serious rock fan. You can really hear Love influence in the guitar and bass lines of those great post-punk bands. Several members of Fugazi were spotted at the show.
I'd like to see Love again if only so that can rip through more of the pre "Forever Changes" songs. This band influcenced such 60's contemporaies as The Rolling Stones and The Doors.
Great show, so very glad I got a chance to see it in DC and in such an intimate setting.
