Dave Davies: I'm not like everybody else (live)

[kidcalabria]

Great upload. This is the sort of song that is missing from 'Pop' music nowadays, and it's badly needed, but the music industry will never promote musicians who do this kind of stuff, 'cause they're all multinationals controlled by governments, politicians, bankers, etc.. and when the music industry did promote Rock'n'Roll there was almost a revolution, in the 1950s, the '60s, with Punk Rock in the 1970s, etc.. That's why we have Coldplay and no real Rock'n'Roll nowadays.

Thanks for posting this

Enjoying this track all over again .. liked original as by the kinks, but Dave's live version takes it so much further (good version on Live from the Bottom Line CD)

Love this song. Wish they'd back off the fog machine though.

This performance makes me think he'd sound really sweet in duet with Neil Young. But then again, it would be a battle of the falsettos!

@doctorfuse007 I think Ray's and Dave's voices complement each other very well.

@omanichickiebabe absolutely! But when is that duet going to happen again? Some of their octave singing is incredible. So many things to love about them - their 200% effort, their early disdain for trad showbiz and their creation of a communal event experience (much different from the Stones übercool 'rock star' attitude), their deep commitment to their sound (and not meaningless virtuosic noodling). Brilliant and unique band!
