OK, this live performance is raw, unpolished. But that's what I love about rock and roll. Its supposed to be that way especially live. Dave's solo wacked out on him a bit here but his chording is good. He created many of the great chord runs in Kinks music. I saw the Kinks "Low Budget" tour in Seattle at the Paramount August 1978. Dave Davies was on fire that night and really worked hard to give a great performance. He played impressive and exciting lead guitar that night.
@Beyer160 Having heard this, I'm positive Page didn't play You Really Got Me. It sounds like the same guitarist, he's just playing in a more controlled style here. Besides, Ray, Dave and Page all say that it was Dave playing that solo.
@BlackMonk66 Recently saw a Kinks documentary that was screened in L.A. Shel Talmy was in attendance and was asked if Jimmy Page did play the solo. He confirmed that Page was a session player on the Kinks first few singles but DID NOT play the solo on You Really Got Me.
@twentiethcenturyman I wouldn't trust Talmy's memory on these things. It's pretty well established that Page played on later album tracks. Ray insists that Page wasn't on You Really Got Me, though I'm not sure about his memory, either. The rhythm guitarist's name changes depending on the interview. My guess is it's a case of the famous name gets attached to the most famous songs.
But "first few singles?" That would include "Long Tall Sally" and "You Do Something To Me."
@5star555555555 damn didnt find out till now. That sucks so much :( All the rockstars from the 60's are by far the greatest and will be remembered even when they pass. RIP Pete!!
Such a good song.

One of the best British Invasion songs hands down. You can hear elements of punk in this music as well as pop and rock.

Terrific video, thanks! After seeing the trainwreck at 1:19 though, does anyone doubt Jimmy Page played the solo on "You Really Got Me"?
