The camera person screwed up royally when they didn't show Dave Davies' guitar riff. I was 16 in '65 and believe me, THE KINKS WERE THE BOMB!!!! The girls absolutely loved The Beatles, but we guys couldn't get enough of The Kinks! MAN DID THEY ROCK!!!
Looking at this footage, and hearing the sound of the guitar, it really makes it seem like they were time travellers. A modern rock band prominent in the mid 1960's. They were so ahead of their time.
@smoothygroovy They were! When bands like the Beatles were writing songs like "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You," the Kinks were doing this. That's a noticeable jump in their type of sound.
Historical footage of one of the greatest early rock classics at a turning point in popular music history, I dare say, as played live by its originators in the face of an hysterical audience of fans.
I disagree. Pete’s falsetto notes especially are absolutely painful to listen to-they drown out Dave’s lead, and he’s DREADFULLY flat on them a great deal of the time.
This festival in the UK was also attended by the Beatles. The Magic to restore this clip and the Beatles clip Fantastic. Sound and Video GREAT JOB !!!!
To everyone who believes the myth that Jimmy Page played the solo on this song, here’s the one and only Dave Davies playing it perfectly live! EDIT: Unfortunately, you can’t hear Dave’s guitar at all in this video, but if you search any other live version of this song from this time period, you’ll see and hear that Dave sounds exactly like the solo on the record.
According to producer Shel Talmy, Jimmy Page was used during the studio recording of this song. He also appeared on the recording of "Can't Explain " , by the Who.
Dave changed rock 'n' roll to rock with his playing on "You Really Got Me." Listen to the records before and after - everybody changed because of what Dave was doing!
Saw them Halloween, 1970 at the Fillmore West. along with Elton John and others...what a show that was, the Kinks played "Lola". and it was the first time I ever heard that?! I had an 8-track tape of the best of the Kinks, in my Dodge and I was a real fan!! I still have that player, it was made by Motorola, but the tapes have all disappeared!!
Some years back, I remember reading a (paperback version) of a biography of The Kinks. It tells about the night of this All-Star Concert. The Kinks were suppose to go on stage before The Rolling Stones and lastly The Beatles. But for some reason they arrived a bit late. That's why they ended up performing at the very end of the revue. Soon after Ray Davies apologizes to the audience for being late.
Not even close. Also, this song and their next single, "All Day and All of the Night" are really not that original. I like both songs for their simplicity and crudeness but the Kinks were behind the curve.
@@bobtaylor170 that can happen with (relatively untrained?) singers if they cannot hear themselves in the monitors; if you recall that NYE concert fiasco with Mariah Carey, she complained that she should not hear the monitors (missed her cues), but she was still able to sing "on pitch" from muscle memory, without hearing her own voice; I remember also hearing some TV program recording by Lindsay Lohan (NOT a singer) and she sounded terrible, and I got the impression it was because she could not hear herself
YYYEESSSS i was fan at that time, and I go now with my 3 generations woman to th Rolling stones!!!❤ i am 72 ,my dother is 55 ,granddother is 35!!! And maby, like my granggrand dother.him to!!!@
Here we go again and Thank You for a classic clip of a classic song and super group The Kinks. This looks and sounds terrific. How much restoration was put towards this video ? Considering it's dated and the technology at the time was primitive compared to today's tech. Thumbs Up to this channel for this video, restoration or not
When this song debuted the Beatles were bubble gumming around wanting to hold your hand. The Kinks were way ahead of their time with this song and All of the Day and All of the Night.
@@jimrodgers8647 You obviously do not play a musical instrument. "I Want To Hold Your Hand" is a complex song featuring a key change and at least 13 chords. If you don't believe me then watch a Feb. 1964 video of The Beatles playing this song on the Ed Sullivan Show and count John Lennon's different chords. Let me see: In March 1963 The Beatles released "I Saw Her Standing There" and "Twist and Shout" (a cover). Both are regarded as hard & heavy songs (listen to the original mono recording and not the remaster garbage where the guitars are subdued - I have them on original vinyl). Then in Nov. 1963 The Beatles released "It Won't Be Long", "I Wanna Be Your Man" and a cover of "Money (That's What I Want)" which featured a heavy guitar riff on the original mono - though remastered and future fake stereo releases muted the guitars (I have the original on vinyl). Then in July 1964 The Beatles released "When I Get Home" and before that in March 1964 they released "You Can't Do That". The guitar bridge on both Kink songs, "You Really Got Me" (released in August 1964) and "All Day and All of the Night" (released in Oct. 1964) were inspired (or maybe even plagiarized) from the guitar bridges on "You Can't Do That" and "I Wanna Be Your Man" by The Beatles (especially their live performances of those songs). The crude heavy-ish guitar on both Kink songs were obviously taken from numerous live performances by The Beatles which you can watch on RUclips. Also, Link Wray, an American guitarist, had heavy-ish sounds way back in 1958 on "Rumble" and in 1963 on "Jack The Ripper" as did other people (black and white) in America. You just don't know the discographies and the timelines.
@@jimrodgers8647 What nonsense, The Beatles have been much more innovative, rocking and groundbreaking than the rest. Which does not detract from Ray and his band, one of the most underrated songwriting groups in history.
Oh god what even happened here, Pete’s mic is too darn loud, so is Ray’s guitar which pretty much makes Dave’s solo inaudible and nor is Dave’s mic working either.
Why are there so many Beatles references in the comments? I am the biggest Beatles fan in the world and I THINK that they are better but why can't you just shut up and listen to the song instead of comparing The Kinks to other bands???
No, it was definitely Dave Davies. Watch The Kinks live in Paris 1965, The Kinks on Shinding 1965 and The Kinks at the BBC, all 3 of those are live and you can very clearly hear and see him playing the solo. Even pedo plagiarizer Page himself admitted that he never played on the recording.
I love the cameramen of this era. Don't know anything about what they are filming. Guitar solo? Time to get close ups of drum and bass player. Makes sense huh.
LOL... Davies always complained that Page got the credit for doing the guitar solo in the studio and says he actually did it yet here he is live and he doesn't even do the guitar solo and just does a cop-out Rhythm pattern proving that he can't even try to do the solo that Page did for him in the studio. The proof is in the pudding. There is no shame and having somebody help you out in the studio if you can't do that type of guitar work the shame comes when you discredit the guy who actually made it great and then try to take credit for it yourself but you can't even copy what he did and couldn't even do anything actually that is the shameful part. So many guitarists from this era's seemed envious of page even though Jimmy helped them make great hits in the studio. You never see Jimmy walking around rubbing anybody else's nose in what he did for them... I just don't get their attitude they should be grateful to even work with an awesome creative guitarists like Jimmy Page.
Page himself said he didn't play it, what's wrong with you? There are at least 3 live performances were you can clearly see and hear Dave doing the solo on You Really Got me live. Also check out Page's crappy rendition of "all day and all of the night". HE DIDN'T PLAY IT! END OF STORY.
@@reggiekrager5411 he for sure played all day and all of the night. Page himself said in several interviews he played that but he didn't trip out about it at all. Even John Lord from Deep Purple played on some of those parts for a couple of bucks and never really got any credit for it. I don't see what the big deal is Davies was never known for his guitar Wizardry so what's the big deal? Send me a link showing Davies playing anything near what Paige did in the studio and maybe you can convince me but I'm an old timer and I've heard all these things and I think I would have caught one of those in the last 50 years, but you never know just send me a link to this and maybe I can be convinced but to be honest with you it's really no big deal to me either way I enjoy listening to this music and in the odd chance I'm wrong about one or two of hundreds of songs that page played on so be it. No hard feelings
Kinks were late to the show and probably didn’t even do a soundcheck. Consequences: Dave’s mic was not working and his guitar was turned down. That “cop-out rhythm” part was being played by Ray (the camera was on him the whole time he did it, you tried really hard not to see that I guess) whose guitar was louder making Dave’s solo virtually inaudible apart from a few bends at the start. Dave played the You Really Got Me and All Day and All of the Night solo in the studio, live on Shindig, and subsequently in hundreds of shows throughout their 4+ decade career.
Reading many comments regarding "Jimmy played the solo...." There are at least 3 "live" recordings of Dave Davies "back in the day" (64-65) playing the solo note for note where you can actually hear the solo. They are all available on youtube: The Kinks, Paris 1965, Kinks Shindig 1965 and The Kinks at the BBC. Also their playing styles are completely different. That's Dave Davies on YRGM. Further proof, listen to The Larry Page Orchestra featuring Jimmy Page and their lame rendition of All Day And All Of The Night. Jimmy Page has stolen more music from other musicians than any other performer but even he says he didn't play the solo.
dave davies so very very criminally underated !!!
the camera is everywhere except on Dave during his solo
Zesanactor Over-5 Yes. It is true you fucking stupid jackass
You're right and it's because camera guys are bloody clueless.
Bc he didn’t play it.
@@sumego4180 He did, now shut up.
The silent solo - Jimmy Page wasn’t backstage 😂
John Gosling, the former keyboardist for English rock band the Kinks, has died. He was 75.

Isn’t it annoying when this happens, I doubt the cameraman knew which guy was the guitarist!
@@mikejones-go8vz Very annoying, especially since Dave's riff is the best part of the song.
@@felixmadison5736 the Rolling Stone’s’ It’s all over now’ has a great solo as well.
