I've seen two Kinks concerts in my my life. Now that I am in my 70's, I've seen Ray and Dave separately in concert one time each. All in the Philadelphia area where I live. While I have been unsuccessful writing letter after letter to Ray and Dave separately and together at at various addresses, I still hold out hope that I will see them again together as the Kinks. I'm afraid of losing this chance as we are all beginning to get older. Dave has had his health issues, and Ray was even shot while in New Orleans a few years back. I will travel anywhere, and spend whatever it takes just to see them happy together on stage playing once more. A new Kinks album has been rumored with all new material. Wouldn't that be great?

Ray is one of the greatest song writers that I have ever come across in my life. People who love the Kinks know this, unfortunately they came up in a time where there were many great rock and roll bands coming out of England, and they are often overlooked. It's a shame really, and also really sad that the brothers have not been able to get along with one another over all these years. To think how much more fantastic music would have emerged if they had just worked out their problems. Still, they have left us with a tremendous catalog of most-pleasing and happy music!

Never saw the Stones. I did see The Kinks!
I've been to more concerts than I remember. The absolute best was The Kinks. Outstanding band!
Bought Sleepwalker LP in 1977 my Senior year in HS….Great album and I still have it and play it 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Stormy Sky is a beautiful song !
"Another" is actually, "Full Moon" from Sleepwalker. Awesome set. I saw the Kinks in Los Angeles on the tour supporting Sleepwalker. They were better than ever.

I saw them too, was it January or February 77? At the Santa Monica Civic, great show! I drove all night up to Berkeley afterwards and found they were playing at Winterland in SF that night. We scored tickets and saw them again! I named my guitar Lola in Ray's honor. What an adventure! The SF show is heavily bootlegged in pretty good sound, too.
It’s incredible that Ray actually pinned that badge to his forehead and kept performing😮❤

Love the rawness of this show!
Introduced by Mr. "Mock Rock" himself! This was a great set. I kinda missed their songs apart from the early hits, the late hits, and Muswell Hillbillies. Deciding to dive deeper later - wow, the songcraft just is astounding. Love the Kinks! Saw them after they got into the hall of fame, they'd just released UK Jive. Still rocking!
SCHOOL BOYS IN DISGRACE! STILL LOVE THE WHOLE ALBUM TODAY!
I was lucky enough to see them once, around 1975.
Adoro a los Kinks... Vivan por siempre!
The whimsical , countryfied Kinks in all their light hearted glory.
Thank you for this .... I haven't seen it before
Thank you for this wonderful clip. Ah…Schafer music festival- seems like yesterday. ❤
Ground breakers through the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
Dave you are awesome. Thank you
Thank you so much for posting this. I really need to spend more time listening to the incredible Kinks. And thank you for reminding me just how good the Old Grey Whistle Test was, especially with Whispering Bob.
He writes great poetry
Love this appearance.
Amazing guitar work
I get the Beatles, Stones, hype and always being the ones asked as to who's the best. For me personally it was always, The Animals, The Kinks
Love Dave's playing on the Les Paul in this performance, I always wondered who the female background singers of this era were? I saw the Kinks numerous times, but they didn't have the ladies with them

Debi Doss and Shirlie Roden both toured with The Kinks in the 70's, It's possibly them ? (I've just watched the whole show, he introduces all the performers at intervals. The girls are said to be "Shirlie & Debi" so it is they. There is some info about them online).

@rogeredmunds5806 Thanks, I hadn't seen the full show, without "Skimming" a b it, great Detective work! I knew that when he was touring the states with Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks, the girls from that band performed with the Kinks for a while. But they looked a lot different that Shirley and Debi. Glad to know the answer to this mystery! Sounds like they toured around the "Soap Opera era.

Dave Davies is one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time.
He is wearing a KSHE-95 Real Rock Radio hat. I live in St. Louis right down the road from the original studio in Crestwood.
Song 2 title is Life Goes On, it is not Participation Night as the AI chapters indicated.
I like the groovy bass lines too
Whispering Bob !!!!
Such poetry. Waterloo Sunset, what can I say ?
SEEN RAY ON LAST U.S. TOUR...PARAMOUNT L.I..NY. LAST SHOW ADDED ,SMALL THEATER GREAT FOR RECORDING..DID ALOT OF OLDIES, FRIENDLY TO LOVING AUDIENCE ..HOPE HE RELEASES, LIVE ALBUM

The Kinks was my second concert. They blew me away in a little Community College. No assigned seats. Was 1st come, 1st serve. Saw them many times after that 1st. Always felt comfortable in the audience and always enjoyed listening and watching them perform. Even at Giant Stadium... Fantastic, beautiful song writers. Thank You for sharing
Ray the painter in rock music.
I'm a huge Kinks fan . I don't know why they are constantly compared to The Stones ?! ... For me , the stones / pretty things / yardbirds exist in a similar zone but because of the massive emphasis on songs ( and hits ) The Kinks may be considered as contemporaries of The Beatles . Personally I don't think comparison is necessary , I dig them all .
Sleepwaker is a great album.
They playing rock n roll again
Sleepwalker was a great album
Sleep Walker should have been huge. I remember seeing them in US playing Sleepwalker in Miami, TV audience?, but before this date. Or was I high on something back then? And were Kinks 1st Garage/Punk Band? And is this Post-Punk Kinks circa 77? Otherwise Fantastic Band, and I really enjoyed the Kinks 60th Anniversary releases this past year. Tomorrow 60+ Years of Kinks existance.
This is right before they found a new younger audience.
Post the kinks song list remast the sound
why does it say participation night for life goes on?

You won't find a better version of Celluloid Heroes
Is that a K-she 95 hat he wears on the last song?

Never was big kinks fan. Give the people what they want was ok Just my style not a fan. I know as a musician they are very talented and opened doors for real musicians.
they did this slower than the Record The Record was better. I had the tape.
