[porvitalia]

Yeah, i was in that concert at Capitol Center in 1981, oh KINKS FOREVER!!

[yiotispan]

This was my first rock concert... not this particular one, but the Kinks were also live at the Capitol Center in Landover MD that same year. I was 13 years old, Great memories!

[bilbomarks]

God... Everyone had that shitty mullet in the 80s. Even George Harrison is guilty.

[darkmossie633]

masterful-Ray Davies great with fans-class act

-oh, great record too!

[stahlplast]

I remember this on Rockpalast(German Tv) still have a casette that I taped from the Radio on that night.....switch on the radio and you had it on Stereo.Dave Davis wasn't too well on this night...had pains in his back and had to have an injection before he took the stage.The concert started off with the song.."around the dial"......A concert I never forgot.....brilliant.

[MatBungle]

i just think that lola is a transexual !

[PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

Does anyone know if "Lola" was real? If so, who?

[joannemcr]

This song is about a transvestite. Which is stated in The Kinks: The Official Biography, is that Ray Davies wrote the lyrics after their manager got drunk at a club and started dancing with what he thought was a woman. Toward the end of the night, his stubble started showing, but their manager was too tanked to notice.

[PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

@joannemcr: Thanks for the info. How embarrassing for that manager. I wondered if 'Lola' was real or from an acid trip, etc. I've not read that book, however, it sounds like it would be pretty good read. Thanks! Cheers.

[Lisihaldir]

I love you Dave!!!!!!!!!

[Brian77TX]

Sheeesh...1981, I was FOUR freaking years old!!! LOL!!! I wish I was born in the mid to late 60's so I could have experienced this great music!!!
