The Kinks are an all time great band and Ray Davies is an all time great song writer. The main memory from The Palladium show in June, 1978 was that a group of guys decided to jump my friend Little Joe from Kokomo outside the theatre ripping the earring out of his left ear. The three knuckleheads ran off down the street with us in hot pursuit when one of the wannabe thugs lost his footing and fell hard on the sidewalk on his right hip. He hopped right back up and hobbled down the street evidently hurting himself pretty good which pleased us immensely. We went to the concert but I have no particular recollection of The Kinks’ performance that night.
