Did you ever see Love/Arther Lee live?

I caught Arthur live twice in the early 1990s, some of my pictures are in old issues of the Love zine 'The Castle'. I think back then it wasn't really 'Love', but was really a solo Arthur Lee with a backing band. The backing band was called 'Das Damen', or something like that.
Ray Manzarek & Michael mcClure were on the same bill, and Im pretty sure it's the first time since 1966 since Ray and Arthur were on the same bill- yet they gave each other the cold shoulder! Hardly old friends. Very sad,
Arthur Lee was one of the most powerful performers I've ever seen- he had energy, and such power.
It depresses me when i meet people who say they love music of the 60s- yet have never heard of Love.
Had Arthur not declined the invitation for Love to perform at the Montery Pop Festival, EVERYONE would know Arthur's name
