Seen them just S. of Cleveland on their One For The Road Tour 1980 . They came out on stage and ROCKED! Best show I ever seen. I just seen this video and he did it again! Top Shelf.
A great great song, far more applicable to today than when it was written. The Kinks are incredibly underrated and under appreciated. Ray is one of the greatest rock songwriters period.
@thefoppa1000 Why do people keep saying they're underrated? The Kinks have always been considered up there with the Beatles, the Stones and the Who....certainly by the generation who grew up in 60s Britain. Maybe it's because they've not been remembered as well, especially as individuals. For example who can name the bass player and the drummer?
Met Ray Davies after his show in Austin, TX 07/22/2006, autographed Kinks-Size lp & Sleepwalker cd. One of my all-time heroes & this is probably my favorite Kinks song (if it is possible to choose just one).
Wow, he sounds great!! Such an incredible song writer. First "rock" cocert was The Kinks in January 1982 at the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland! I'll never forget it! Fantastic!

This could very well be the GREATEST SONG EVER WRITTEN IN THE HISTORY OF NOT ONLY ROCK & ROLL BUT OF ALL MUSIC! GOD SAVE THE KINKS AND RAY DAVIES! THEY WERE, ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE NUMBER ONE! SEE YOU ALL AT THE SHOWS STARTING IN A FEW DAYS, DONT MISS THE 2010 USA RAY DAVIES TOUR!
I saw the kinks several times in the late 70's/early 80's...Gonna see Ray next month, How does this sound?: "THE KINKS ARE THE MOST UNDERATED SUPER GROUP IN R&R"
I've seen the Kinks 16 times between 1975 and 1990! FABULOUS!! Definitely one of THE VERY BEST bands EVER!!! Get well soon Dave Davies we love you can't wait to see you again!
Kink for the Kinks! SO GOOD to hear and see Ray here on youTube

Muswell Hillbillies was always my favorite Kink's album, and I read that it was the one he enjoyed making most.
