This video must have been made just weeks before Dave's stroke on 30 June 2004... if it's from a concert in Potsdam on 13 June 2004. His singing and guitar playing is so good here. Took him a while to recover but never to his pre stroke level.
@@Nukumatti If you listen to Dave in interviews he always refers to Ray as a genius too. A true love and hate relationship. They both love and admire each other but hate each other when they are together
This song came up in my ear-muff shuffle this afternoon, and I realized that this is really Dave's song. For years, I'd assumed that was his brother singing there. When Ray did this one on some PBS broadcast, he did it as a sing-along, and got the audience clapping along as one. Ray's a funny guy. This is an inspiring rendition, though - Dave's not going to cut this performance short, even though the building is evidently burning down.
Live Ray often sang the lead with Dave doing background vocals.On the live album To The Bone it's Ray singing lead.It was Ray who wrote the song and offered it to The Animals and when they refused it Dave sang it as a B side to Autumn Almanac. Later on though they switched off lead vocals or Ray sang lead when they did it live
@wildcatter63 Dave had a much higher range. Listen to Strangers or Bernadette or his background vocals on Lola when he takes the womans response. He had a very high singing voice
@wildcatter63 Maybe you're right. Having seen them do Juke Box Music numerous times live not a problem for me. Without the visual aid might be a little more difficult although I think I could still tell the difference. I donlt think Ray could sing that higher part
@wildcatter63 I don't have to close my eyes having listened to Juke Box Music all the time on LPs then tapes then CDs. You can't see whose singing it. I've heard that song thousands of times as I love the Sleepwalker album and when it came out when I was in college I wore that album out along with Misfits and Low Budget
@wildcatter63 I saw the Kinks in 1974 for the first time and never looked back. I've also seen Dave live and Everybody Else Living on a Thin Line and Death Of a Clown are all wonderful. Even songs like Strangers Bernadette Mindless Child of Motherhood Susannahs Still Alive and Groovy Movies aregood songsTruth is after the late 60s early 70s the Stones don't compare to the Kinks. From Lola and Muswell Hillbillies straight through to Word of Mouth they put out superb music. Some of the concept albums weren't great but all those albums still had gems. I have a friend whose favorite group is the Stones and he'd agree with everything I said here. With Beatles tougher to make comparison as they stopped playing together in 69 and songs like Imagine and Maybe I'm Amazed are great songs and they are amazing but I'm a Kinks fan for life. God save the Kinks
Cool beans I’m number 100 here. First, thanks for posting. I REALLY love Dave more than Ray, but you have to the yin/yang relationship with those two. I got into a Facebook turfuffle about who was better the Beatles or the stones? I pointed out the kinks catalog is as strong as any other band ever. And Dave is such a badass!
Enjoying this track all over again .. liked original as by the kinks, but Dave's live version takes it so much further (good version on Live from the Bottom Line CD)
Dave proving here what a great guitarist he is. Unusual phrasing. Much better than many people would acknowledge. I saw him live several times - memorable playing, has his own style .
Just saw Dave Davies do concert last night at the Barbican, and he was great! In spite of the crappy sound board at the Barbican which was unbalanced allowing the drums to drown out the guitars!!
Great version, but Ray's version that was on To the Bone and used on the Soprano's is rawer and better. The lower register of Ray's voice lends itself to this more primal feel to the song.
Yeah I see what you mean. Slightly slower and it really brings out the impact of the song too I reckon. Ray makes this song intimate - like he's performing it for you in a smokey pub late on a Saturday night. (I'm not talking about the B side original 1966 version here but the live later versions)
Great upload. This is the sort of song that is missing from 'Pop' music nowadays, and it's badly needed, but the music industry will never promote musicians who do this kind of stuff, 'cause they're all multinationals controlled by governments, politicians, bankers, etc.. and when the music industry did promote Rock'n'Roll there was almost a revolution, in the 1950s, the '60s, with Punk Rock in the 1970s, etc.. That's why we have Coldplay and no real Rock'n'Roll nowadays. Thanks for posting this
It's part of him, so tragic that he had the stroke so soon after this--and Ray was shot so soon after--but they both eventually recovered. Dave spent the last few months of his recovery living with Ray, with his uncaged rabbit, until Ray's housekeeper threatened to quit if Dave didn't cage the bunny. Can't say I blame her! Maybe they didn't fight when they were both still fragile.
When the brothers went their solo act ways in the 90s, they each showcased this song, but in such different ways! I prefer Dave's all out rock sincerity to Ray's making fun of himself and the audience irony--Ray was too smooth, and Dave's was still the real Kink's rock because of his guitar and voice and personality.
Ray wrote it, supposedly for the Animals. It was the B-side to the "Sunny Afternoon" single, with Dave singing lead. Ray has frequently played this in his solo performances.
Ich werde nicht alles annehmen, was man mir in die Hand drückt Und dabei lächeln, obwohl ich die Stirn runzele Und ich nehme auch nicht alles, was da unten so liegt Weil, wenn ich mal loslege, gehe ich in die Stadt Denn ich bin nicht wie alle anderen Ich bin nicht wie alle anderen Ich bin nicht wie alle anderen Ich bin nicht wie alle anderen Und ich will nicht vor mich hinleben wie alle anderen Und ich will mein Leben nicht leben wie alle anderen Und ich will nicht sagen, dass es mir gut geht, wie alle anderen Denn ich bin nicht wie alle anderen Ich bin nicht wie alle anderen Aber, Liebling, du weißt, dass ich dich wirklich liebe Ich mache alles, was du willst, dass ich es tue Bekenne all meine Sünden, wenn du es von mir verlangst Aber da ist eine Sache, die ich dir sagen will Ich bin nicht wie alle anderen Ich bin nicht wie alle anderen Ich bin nicht wie alle anderen Ich bin nicht wie alle anderen Und ich will nicht vor mich hinleben wie alle anderen Und ich will mein Leben nicht leben wie alle anderen Und ich will nicht sagen, dass es mir gut geht, wie alle anderen Denn ich bin nicht wie alle anderen Ich bin nicht wie alle anderen Wie alle anderen Wie alle anderen

@omanichickiebabe absolutely! But when is that duet going to happen again? Some of their octave singing is incredible. So many things to love about them - their 200% effort, their early disdain for trad showbiz and their creation of a communal event experience (much different from the Stones übercool 'rock star' attitude), their deep commitment to their sound (and not meaningless virtuosic noodling). Brilliant and unique band!
Surely something had gone wrong and they didn't intend for the smoke machine to look as if a house was on fire! We always loved that Dave totally ignored it! I hope it didn't contribute to his stroke.
Of course Coldplay are good. I'm not questioning their talent, I like their songs & their shows too. I was referring to the impact that music has on society & people's way of thinking. For Rock'n'Roll I mean a counter-cultural movement as it was in the 1960s, or with Punk Rock in the '70s, etc.. a way of life. Even Coldplay tried it with Chris Martin with 'Fair trade' written on his hand, but it's not the same as The Sex Pistols or John Lennon, etc.. is it? & there's no need to take it so hard
I doubt it, if you find "blackface" amusing, because their beloved niece is biracial and these guys were known to speak with their fists and talk later. She's alive and well in CA, still close to her liberal uncles Ray and Dave.
Dave Davies putting his heart and soul into the vocals.
he loves to sing
jadejupiter Yes he is but he's just not sounding good.
Kicks ass.

Dave, you're not like everybody else.....you're uniquely brilliant.

"The real star was my brother." -- Ray Davies, 2010.
How right he was
@@Nukumatti If you listen to Dave in interviews he always refers to Ray as a genius too. A true love and hate relationship. They both love and admire each other but hate each other when they are together
@@Maria-tm2eu The same saying in UK too.
This song is like a good wine, improving with age.
DAVE is great on this one!!! Certainly NOT like anyone else on guitar. He, not Clapton or Paige, is the inventor of the POWER CORD!
dennis mcgovern
So damn underrated and also under appreciated.
inventor was link wray, but dave surely put some POWER in power chords
@@user-ys2mh5tz7v Dave was 17 and had never heard Link Wray--they both did the same thing under duress.
Dave's vocal harmonies on the Lola and Arthur albums still are heavenly sent. It's music that stirs.
Since I was a teenager The Kinks have spoken for me
Love Dave great guitarist and how stunningly beautiful was he in his younger days ❤
Inspired and inspiring. You're a treasure, Dave. You've made this planet worth living on.
Ray said he wrote this song for his brother Dave. I like to the Kinks doing it. Dave does a great job. Love the lyrics!
Love it..How good is Dave Davies? Love it. The live version on ' to the bone' is fantastic so is this!
Great guitar & vocals. Dave Davies is not to be underestimated.
That song helped me get by in my teen years
A huge talent in his own right and the guitar solo on this is just so good
Love listening to Dave kick ass on his guitar 🎸
God I adore this song
Great version. Ray's ironic vocals are always entertaining, but Dave sings straight from the heart.
The Kinks are great together bring on the reunion
Dave is not *singing* He's shouting his way thru the song in a theatrical kind of way.
@@jameswarhol442 Aubergine?
This song - and Dave - just get BETTER and BETTER.

my favourite song from the KINKS
We need it! pure symphony

Such a unique guitarist, underrecognized as a songwriter.
Marvelous.
happy birthday dave!
This was recorded just before he had the stroke on 30 June 2004.
very nice version
Absolutely Wonderful video!
Fabulous!
Truely, one of a kind.
Liked as soon as the guitar hit
Great version, but Ray's version that was on To the Bone and used on the Soprano's is rawer and better. The lower register of Ray's voice lends itself to this more primal feel to the song.
Ray Davies wrote this.
I prefer Dave Davies's vocals for this song. I wish he'd done more vocals for The Kinks.
To each to his or her own. I prefer Ray's version; you prefer Dave's. Music is a personal choice--no one agrees on everything.
Yeah I see what you mean. Slightly slower and it really brings out the impact of the song too I reckon. Ray makes this song intimate - like he's performing it for you in a smokey pub late on a Saturday night.
(I'm not talking about the B side original 1966 version here but the live later versions)
i prefer daves so there stick your lower register up your r's lol they are both very good really ,
I like the Chocolate Watchband's version better than both of these. Give it a listen.
He's a great singer.
He'd open with this. Nice extended riffing at the beginning.

One of the Kinks grooviest songs. It goes well with Big Sky.
omg I love him！！

Love it x
Great - got to love Dave.
L E G E N D
@doctorfuse007 I think Ray's and Dave's voices complement each other very well.
Their harmonies together are beloved, and unusual!
This performance makes me think he'd sound really sweet in duet with Neil Young. But then again, it would be a battle of the falsettos!
JUST AWESOME !
ThankYou!
Ich werde nicht alles annehmen, was man mir in die Hand drückt
Und dabei lächeln, obwohl ich die Stirn runzele
Und ich nehme auch nicht alles, was da unten so liegt
Weil, wenn ich mal loslege, gehe ich in die Stadt
Denn ich bin nicht wie alle anderen
Ich bin nicht wie alle anderen
Ich bin nicht wie alle anderen
Ich bin nicht wie alle anderen
Und ich will nicht vor mich hinleben wie alle anderen
Und ich will mein Leben nicht leben wie alle anderen
Und ich will nicht sagen, dass es mir gut geht, wie alle anderen
Denn ich bin nicht wie alle anderen
Ich bin nicht wie alle anderen
Aber, Liebling, du weißt, dass ich dich wirklich liebe
Ich mache alles, was du willst, dass ich es tue
Bekenne all meine Sünden, wenn du es von mir verlangst
Aber da ist eine Sache, die ich dir sagen will
Ich bin nicht wie alle anderen
Ich bin nicht wie alle anderen
Ich bin nicht wie alle anderen
Ich bin nicht wie alle anderen
Und ich will nicht vor mich hinleben wie alle anderen
Und ich will mein Leben nicht leben wie alle anderen
Und ich will nicht sagen, dass es mir gut geht, wie alle anderen
Denn ich bin nicht wie alle anderen
Ich bin nicht wie alle anderen
Wie alle anderen
Wie alle anderen
I’m always shocked that Johnny Cash never covered this song.
I remember reading that Ray wrote it as a teenager, but it's possible he tried to sell it to the Animals. Eric Burdon would've been great with it, but to me this song IS the Kinks. First song I ever learned on the guitar.

those solos we’re pretty bitchin not like everybody else
Thanks for the clarification - prob my fav Kinks song.
Love this song. Wish they'd back off the fog machine though.
Surely something had gone wrong and they didn't intend for the smoke machine to look as if a house was on fire! We always loved that Dave totally ignored it! I hope it didn't contribute to his stroke.
Still goíng Strong
God bless the Kinks
good shit!
wow
Jonathan Lea of The Jigsaw Scene up there jammin with him!
0:27 ❤
Check out the version by The Chocolate Watchband !
With a hidden message
Did everyone make it out alive??
lol
Neither am I
Of course Coldplay are good. I'm not questioning their talent, I like their songs & their shows too. I was referring to the impact that music has on society & people's way of thinking. For Rock'n'Roll I mean a counter-cultural movement as it was in the 1960s, or with Punk Rock in the '70s, etc.. a way of life. Even Coldplay tried it with Chris Martin with 'Fair trade' written on his hand, but it's not the same as The Sex Pistols or John Lennon, etc.. is it? & there's no need to take it so hard
Cool.
I wonder what the rest of the set was?
Its hard to imagine that this song was a B side.
Did Dave write this ?? Always supposed it was Ray !
Ray wrote it, for Dave to sing.
My Mother s Musik
;) Helskön låt!
based on this vid nd ya picture i reackon we could have a decent convo
I doubt it, if you find "blackface" amusing, because their beloved niece is biracial and these guys were known to speak with their fists and talk later. She's alive and well in CA, still close to her liberal uncles Ray and Dave.
