Host Dave Gebroe talks with OG Love mainstay Johnny Echols about the classic psych band’s entire recorded output (for 4 1/2 hours total), with commentary on their history, wild stories, and star ratings—from both Dave and Johnny—for every release. 7 & 7 & 7 Is: The Definitive 21-Episode Story Of Arthur Lee & Love was consciously crafted to act as the ultimate repository of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth, the almighty Love. Part 22 is the final episode of Discograffiti’s unparalleled Love series, which heralds the return of Johnny Echols, who—upon hearing the first several episodes and realizing that this truly was, indeed, the ultimate repository of fact and opinion on his band, after all—offered to answer every remaining question that still lingered, as this is going to be his final time plumbing the depths of Love’s legacy. Here are just a few of the many things that Johnny discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: The original plan for recording “Revelation” for Da Capo; Why Johnny was wary and uncomfortable around Bryan MacLean back in the day; The alternate career path not taken in Johnny’s life; Stories about playing with Jerry Garcia and Moby Grape; The only band that Johnny conceded to blowing Love off the stage; The well-known vocalist Arthur was attempting to emulate on “Your Mind And We Belong Together”; And saying goodbye to Arthur—Johnny’s best friend and musical brother in arms—right before he passed away.
