Ray Davies Kinks Choral Collection On Letterman

[myarse1010]

The drummer is absolutely amazing.. i love him to bits, met him in person really down to earth.. I learned to play the drums by watching him.. For the person who asked his name, his name is Damon Wilson.

YES THE CHOIR KICKS A MASTERPIECE UP ANOTHER NOTCH!!!!

[ragozhin]

as usual, wheres DAVE?

[MrPyjamaTrousers]

What's the name of the drummer...?

[doodahgal]

love Ray, can't say the same for the choir.............but i'll take him anyway I can

[SEVFEST]

@doodahgal ...... you have no musical taste, how can you not like the choir? Ray reached another level with this tour he is fantastic and so is the choir

[bigfatwhitecat]

Does anyone know who the keyboardist is? Is it Ian Gibbons?

[jenzeppelin]

back again hours later for "keith." his performance has been stuck in my head all day. i had to see his moves again.  i think it gets better every time.

[jenzeppelin]

after watching this twice, i have to agree...i've never seen such essence of Keith Moon...even the facial expressions...i very much enjoyed that...great drummer!

[jenzeppelin]

we love you ray!

[ireneulrike]

keith moon alive! great!

[pgrabar]

Anyone know what the drummer's name is?

[nick88drum]

@pgrabar Damon Wilson

[jruizla]

Right after the solo, Ray starts, i guess, "conducting" the Choir. But at about 2:06, it looks like he's thinking... "Stop...*sigh*.... Wrong!" Ray Davies Rocks!!!

[geronimojolan]

He caught his pick! That goes back a long time.

[timbo402002]

Great to see Bill Shandly on guitar trying to sound like Dave on a guitar like Dave used in 64

[kink66]

The drummer looks like keith moon lost son or somthin' LUV THE GUITARIST!

GREAT!

[doctorjulietrudeau]

First of all THIS SONG is one of the grestest ROCK classics!!! Ray is so smooth and SO THERE - the drummer is quite TIGHT but ~ it 's the LEAD GUITAR that REALLY GOT ME!!!!!!!! He really DROVE the song & held the balance of Rays smoothness & the jammin-ness of REAL ROCK -- HOW REFRESHING to hear some REAL ROCK again - LEAD GUITAR MAN -- the way you moved and the way you CUT ITwas SO LOOSE and SO TIGHT all at once - { I hope I can sleep tonight } GREAT JOB PEOPLE - Thanks for keeping rock alive

[kinksboss1]

@doctorjulietrudeau

His name is Bill Shanley from Ireland, he's been touring with Ray for a few years now, probably his best guitarist since Dave

[ehsteve14]

man, that opening guitar... this totally should have been powerman!!

[colscot]

Keith Moon lives!!

[natureestate]

I would have liked it better minus the choir, but still good.

[phreectube]

i concur...didn't really care for the choir; a -better- choir might have pulled it off, lol! but a song i love, so...still liked it ;D

[zstardust838]

Are you kidding ME !?? Ray's drummer is AMAZING. Just saw Ray live and usually I can't take my eye off of Ray as a performer. However, I could not stop watching his drummer for several of the songs. What a talent.

[ethifanman]

The drummer is awesome...Ray Davies is better than Mick Jagger or Paul McCartney...he is an innovator, he is always changing his music....Stones stayed the same thru-out their career...Paul just sucks now...loved him in the 60's, 70's 80's but he has lost it.

[audreylita]

The drummer is so Keith Moon!

[jhcproddy]

that drummers such a fagget

[TeaLeaf1020]

I love Ray and The KinKs but a chorus does not belong with this song. No way!

[potosi21]

Agree. Ray must be bored. It's very weird- to put it mildly.

[bartonim]

I initially would have agreed; I have the album and generally really like it, but this didn't work--at first! Have a few listens and I think it will. If not, I think you'll enjoy Days, Waterloo Sunset and a few others--Victoria is splendid!
