The kinks are the innovators of the distortion and that’s a fact!!

The Scorpions did a cover of this in 2011 which was awesome, but the original is by far the best. Thanks for The Kinks!

1:42 can someone please that poor guy a high five!?

The original punks

I loved the kinks! 74 and never get tired of their music! They could rock!!

Rock bands have come and rock bands have gone. But ROCK N ROLL'S GONNA GO ON FOREVER!!!

My first concert this tour! Berkeley Ca

I dont think there is another band from that era that could do so many styles of music but yet as soon as you hear one of their songs its immediately recognizable as the kinks.

What a Band! What a Rock Stars!! What a Energy!!!

People who think they know punk music need to watch this because its the sound of one of the best punk songs out there, even though the kinks weren't in the punk movement they were punk in the 60s before there was a thing called punk Rock music.

This channel should upload the 60's promotional videos as well.

written many years before punk was an attitude. the kinks are among the very few all time super greats of rock n roll.

I saw them on this 1980 tour. At Nassau coliseum it was so much energy flowing everywhere! I was 21 yrs old. They fricken put on a ass kicking show

yep great rock n roll !!

If These guys had hit our shores before The Beatles we might be talking about The Kinks as the best of all time.

They’re still the all time best. Ray is the greatest songwriter in music history and it’s really not even close.

Top British band one of the best ever

Oh this energy! Oh these heroes of rock and roll!

They played this as an encore at a concert at the Paramount in Seattle years ago. People were dancing on their seats. Just an awesome experience. 🎹🔊🎤🎶🤘🎸🎼😎

One of the most intelligent 'in-vogue' bands to come out of Britain at the time. Dave Davies was a freakin' musical genius to be honest. This was the band near the end of its career here - remember it formed in '64...The peak for this outfit was between 1965 - 1972. They were never going to be like The Rolling Stones as they are a completely band. Their music was influenced by a wide range of genres, including rhythm and blues, British music hall, folk and country. They gained a reputation for reflecting English culture and lifestyle, fuelled by Ray Davies' observational writing style and are considered one of the most influential groups of the period. To this day I believe 'Lola' to be one of thee greatest ever rock songs in the history of the genre. All-in-all I also believe The Kinks to be the original god-fathers of punk. Don't bother arguing that either as you will lose.

@@xanderkennedy9838 Hey while you may add lol, it's actually a fair and reasonable question that to answer in short is easy - there isn't any. That doesn't mean that The Kinks were not the original god-fathers of punk. Because it is in the context not the sound of the band where my reasoning is. The musical genius of Ray Davies i.e. his intellect and mind combined with the other members of The Kinks laid the foundations for the next generation to come along and create the real punk sound. Most people believe Joey Ramone, Lou Reed, and Iggy Pop and Iggy getting the winning vote as to the god-father of punk title. However even before those 3 great artists, Ray Davies and The Kinks were already laying the foundations of punk. Still not convinced. Ok let me lay down the f-a-c-t-s then, the numbers. Joey Ramone and The Ramones began in 1974. Lou Reed & in particular The Velvet Underground began in 1964. Iggy Pop and in particular The Stooges began in 1960. Ray Davies & The Kinks were born in 1964. But the debate isn't about who was born first. It is about who influenced the world of music so much to the extent that the punk revolution was created. Now I've stated it is Ray Davies of The Kinks. I believe I am now going to study in greater detail all of the great artists I have just mentioned more. As just who is the god-father to punk requires more study. That doesn't mean my suggestion is wrong or incorrect. It means, the science isn't settled.

@@Chris-pe6xj Don't worry I'm knockin' on the big six-0 and I only started really listening to The Kinks seriously around '87 when I would have been 24 over here in New Zealand. I bought 2 double cassette albums; 'The Best Of The Kinks 1977 - 1986' & the live; 'One For The Road'. Only over the years have I really learned more about this incredible group. More recently I watched a music documentary on TV about the Kinks album; 'The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society' think this is it; 'The Kinks: Echoes of a World - The Story of the Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society' and found it absolutely fascinating. I just discovered Ray Davies to be so culturally aware and a highly intelligent gentleman overall. Love your 70 Lemans too - would've been v cool. Not quite as many options as the GTO nevertheless it's not all about 'options' either.

Origins of punk

was part of the group that rushed the stage at Avery Fisher hall, right after Ray fell over the amps, Dave just stepped out of the way and down he went nuts, he grabbed some girl started making out, the best, the show as insane

Coke's a hell of a drug. Yeah you can definitely feel the punk energy in these early kinks songs. This looks like its from the 80's so punk was still in and these sped up versions definitely sound punk rock.

Great british music!
