Seriously, I remember when the Kinks came to play my third-rate, bumblefuck undergrad college. They put on a show like they were playing the Albert Hall or something. Class act.
I’m on a Kinks album!
Part of The Road album was recorded at a concert I went to at Merriweather Post Pavilion near D.C. It was the only time I’ve seen the It song performed.
Isn’t this MPSIMS?
I was reminded of this old thread, when last night I just aware of the recent Ray Davies album See My Friends, on which Ray revisits old Kinks classics in duets with other famous singers.
This, a year or two after the release of the Kinks Choral Collection album, on which Ray revisited old Kinks classics accompanied by a choir.
What’s next, an album on which Ray plays old Kinks songs on a kazoo, accompanied by those barking dogs that recorded “Jingle Bells”? How about some new stuff? Ray Davies, you are lame!
I still might buy the album, though.
What? No Dave and that Silvertone cranked to eleven, even if it only went to ten? He made me fall in love with tube amps. Metallica isn’t nearly as loud with all the technology available to them.
When this thread was started, Ray was 58. Now he’s 67.
Can the man get some rest, ferchrissakes?

This is an older thread, but I don’t see any reason to close it. Probably a better fit for Cafe Society than the Pit, though.

Well, we could ask Dave Davies about Ray. That’d put it back into the Pit again.
There’s a documentary somewhere in film limbo land called Do It Again that I’ve been dying to see. It’s the story of columnist Geoff Edgers’ quest to reunite the band. It’s been on the film festival circuit and been shown on a couple of PBS stations, but I can’t find a sign of it anywhere else.
