RAY D and OVATION GEETARS..

[SaintPaul]

Great job, thanks for sharing. I was at the show that night. It was great to see the energy between Ray & Chrissy, she joined them onstage for a song.

[tomsatriano]

Thanks, man. I didn't know at the time that this was the only time they played together during their repsective tours! did you see Ray a few mos ago in Denver? He's great, as always.

[SaintPaul]

Tom, that's crazy... I thought they did the whole tour together. So I'll bet that rascal Ray was chatting up Chrissy and mentioned giving the Ptndrs props in "an interview" earlier. Then called her onstage for a song, and the rest is history. At least that's what I would have done... Way to go Ray!

[nogrouchy]

It's a MUST SEE !! You did a really great job !!

Would be more than perfect if there was a little bit more to see of Dave. (IMO)

[tomsatriano]

Dave wasn't in a great mood.  He wanted to get the soundcheck done! But yes, I wish the photog got more Dave footage onstage.

Tom----Nervous or not, nice job by you and your buddy. A completely unfair question to you since you saw the byplay and so forth though it was nearly 20 years, your gut feeling, ago will they reunite?

[tomsatriano]

Dave: If Dave is healthy I think they'll reunite. I think Ray is more sentimental these days than he's ever been, and he's in fantastic shape, physically and vocally. So imo, it's all down to Dave's recovery and health.

It's only been up a few months, the hits will come. I gave a dvd of this footage to Ray during his latest tour- i'm sure he watched it on his way to New Mexico. Thx for compliment.

Bravo, I also saw them on this tour in southern california and this is amazing footage. You should have more hits. Ive seen nearly every kinks vid and this is one of the best. Great closeups of all the mates

[sooln]

Incredible and great questions! I'd rather have this than the edited for broadcast version any day. I was just getting into the Kinks at this time. This really is a different Ray than we're used to seeing.

[cookmoore]

Thank you!

[lovitzj]

this is incredible, you gave this interview? What a video man, great. is there more footage that you compiled this from?

[tomsatriano]

As I stated, my friend gave the interview, I asked a cuppla questions too. This is100% of the raw footage- wish more was shot! What I don't have is the edited story that was broadcast on the news that nite. Kinks managment did not know why Ray wanted to do an interview. The station picked my friend- a sports producer- cos he knew The Kinks music more than anyone there. He called me cos I had all the LP's and knew their story. We had literally an hour to prepare.

I saw them later on that same tour. I think it was early 82.
