You should read a book about them. They were their own worst enemies. They pissed off concert promoters and their behavior caused the US musicians' union to ban them from performing in America for 5 years. When they could come back to perform in the US, they had to play a lot of small venues. In the spring of 1971, The Kinks played a high school dance in Falls Church, Virginia!
@@johnclark4593 They were either too punk or too British for the American audience so they've been kicked out! On the bright side, they wrote Village Green, the most British album ever, that gave birth to the Britpop genre in the 90's. Badass band!
I agree. No disrespect intended to the great session drummer Bobby Graham, but it's nice to hear what Mick Avory might have played on the studio version, had he been allowed to play on it.
"But there was no doubt Dave was a star, a connoisseuer of the old twelve bar/Even dad said, 'That boy's bloody marvelous!'" - Ray Davies, "Back in the Front Room."
The origin of both hard rock and the precursor to Punk Rock. Written in the little house in Muswell Hill and first played through Dave's "Little Green Amp" with the speaker cone intentenaly cut to make it sound raw.
@@troxburry Not even remotely true. Jimmy Page himself would tell you the same. Page was in the studio as apparent "insurance" that day, but he wasn't used on this song.
Americans just love raining (pissing) on British parades eh? American artists had plates on their crooked teeth that came out after the performance, which went well with American facade culture.
The best live version of their first classic.
Agreed
Absolutely.
A good one from later

''You Really Got Me'' Still holds water today..One of the best British Invasion bands ever
This song was light years ahead of its time in 1964!
The awesome distorted sound of Dave Davies’ guitar, almost impossible to duplicate, the same with Brian May 🎸
How these guys were not bigger than they were is beyond me.

The Americans stopped them…

@@zackzallie8735 It wasn't being too punk or too British. It was bad behavior.
Should have been bigger than the stones, and right up there with the Beatles
Best ver of this song live can find
Still a banger 60 years later.
The drums in this video are superb.

My favorite film clip of this classic song
My compliments to the chef!
Gyerekkoromtól az egyik legnagyobb kedvencem!! Üdvözlet Magyarországról🤗🇹🇯
And Dave was just 17! So Talented these guys
"But there was no doubt Dave was a star, a connoisseuer of the old twelve bar/Even dad said, 'That boy's bloody marvelous!'" - Ray Davies, "Back in the Front Room."
Great energy, Pete and Mick…rock solid bass and drums.
Let's give it up for Peter Quaife on the bass guitar yeaaaahhhh🎉🎉🎉
Let's not go overboard...that isn't exactly a difficult bass part to play.
@@johnclark4593 lol true even I can play it but he did it first!

Yep, Where it all started. Hard to believe this was 1964 nothing else like it at the time.
Punk was junk.
Yeah I think it’s in my top 3 best rock n roll songs of all time.
大好きな歌なので聴けてよかったです！ありがとうございます
¿porque tan respetuoso amigo?
love love love the dancers! The girl in the headscarf and the girl with the soup bowl bangs and the chap in the shades!
Chef boyardee steals the solo!🎉😂
@@nurknanker6105 Hahahahaha! Yes!!
Loved this years ago .
I love this
This a very important live performance. 🇬🇧🤘
Great version.
Esta versión esta matona 🇲🇽
Camera's showing everywhere while solo except Dave XD
Because the solo was played by Jimmy Page on the original record.
@@troxburry Not even remotely true. Jimmy Page himself would tell you the same. Page was in the studio as apparent "insurance" that day, but he wasn't used on this song.
Clássico total dos Kinks!!!
Even The Cook had time to dance.
That riff though.. Sweet jesus
I saw them at WPI years ago. One of them went there. Lola was awesome!.
still listening great music
Big emotions.
immense Energy.
I think that singer is very handsom
Our boy Ray Davies.
You gotta ba high on drugs. Whaaat?! :O
1964❤
... and metal is born!
From Canada and I think Brits are the best musicians in the world.
They're pretty good at stealing from black musicians.
Fathers of Metal/HardRock
Even punk rock.
The cook man 😂
This live version betters the record!
Hardrock was born ....in 1964.................
👍👍👍🎼🎵🇲🇽
1:22-1:27 the black chef joining in
1:22-1:31 greatest clip of dancing in history
😂...yes,the rock'n'roll it works miracles...!!!!!
race not important
@@kenmtb actually it does this was in 1964 when racism was a big issue and they didn't mind him joining in
Nice
One of the top 3 rock and roll songs. Also one of the few songs who’s cover version is better than the original.
The Cook got out from the kitchen for going to dance
Yes
David Lee who? ;-D
Great peak
Моя молодость едрить её
...and Dave's solo gets lost in the mix yet again....
The Kinks rip
2:10 bass up to the chin
The chef is goin hard
That guy in the chef’s hat tho
this shit is fucking crazy
Sandler is quite a bass player!
1:31 tyler durden
The first punk song
Bassist Peter Quaife left the band in 1970, he died in 2010. The Kinks broke up in 1996, as their popularity had declined since the 1980s.
Pete left in 1969 actually.
Was that denny laine?
60’s grunge
1964/8
Why the singer looks older than he was in that days.
Great song, but why he looked like older than he was.
So i guess Dave Davies didn't do the solo on the studio album?
He did. He and Ray Davies are on the record.
his guitar is way down in the mix for the solo, but if you listen closely, it's a near note-for-note replica of the recorded solo.
Wrong
Yes, he did play the solo on the record. Just a bad mix here.
Proper bands playing by ear not a click track
🥵🥵🥵
Absolute ripping version!
Too bad the solo is drowned out entirely
The British Invasion was based primarily on the dire need of the bands affording to get their teeth fixed !!!###
Americans just love raining (pissing) on British parades eh? American artists had plates on their crooked teeth that came out after the performance, which went well with American facade culture.
Knobhead, Ray never got his gap tooth fixed because he liked it that way, I bet you have no hair left on your scalp, why don't you get that fixed?
Nice
