Well, through the years I have been fortunate enough to see The Kinks perform at The Palladium in Manhattan, Ray Davies solo at the Westbury Music Fair snd at this July, 1993 Kinks concert at the Jones Beach Theatre. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no recollection of this particular show at Jones Beach; I wish I did as The Kinks are an iconic rock and roll band with so many great songs. Unfortunately, as great an all time band as The Kinks are, they have not really gotten the well earned recognition from the masses in the rock and roll pantheon of all time greats as some other acts who came up with them in the 1960’s and beyond. Undoubtedly, Ray Davies is one of the great songwriters of our time. Rumors of a 50 (plus) anniversary tour have been going on for years but the notoriously cantankerous brothers (Ray and Dave) have somehow never agreed on when, how, or if to tour again. I suppose some things are better left undone.

Rock on!
