A great song from a great band
The Kinks were playing that song when Ray Davies hit Dave Davies on stage (or was it the other way around) during their performance in the Capitol Cinema in the 1960's. Their publicity team tried to say the incident was staged as part of the act when one said to the other "You NEARLY got me". My wife was at that performance. I attended the second performance when the Kinks failed to appear so we had a double dose of the Yardbirds which was shortly after Jeff Beck replaced Eric Clapton.
It was Mick Avory the drummer who hit Dave Davies. They hated each other.Avory hit him with a cymbal. He thought he'd killed him.
My wife who was there recollects the argument differently. However I've just googled it and it seems you are right.Originally Posted by dandywarhol
Saw them at St Davids Hall 1984
Christ that was 36 years ago
They were fantastic
Shit I went to that gig too, my first ever! I was 12 with a few mod mates. loved it. Boating jacket, bowling shoes....if only I had a photo of what I looked like....
So did I. I was amazed how many young people were in attendance especially as I expected the place to be full of those who would
have supported them in the 1960's.
A double dose of the Yardbirds is something to herald, the members of that band is off the wall legendary stuff ,you lucky man .
The problem was they hadn't rehearsed enough numbers to do an extended set as Jeff Beck had just joined them. They were good but had to resort to virtually jamming 12 bar stuff for the last 20 minutes.
IIRC Ray Davies didn't get on too well with brother Dave either! I also saw them at St. David's Hall - a classic night.
the kinks started rock riffing
Sabbath started metal
I was at that concert in the front row, courtesy of my brother appearing with the Riot Squad.
He told me afterwards that there had been an ongoing row in the group.
The drummer picked up the symbols and swung them at Ray Davies and he went down with a nasty gash on his head.
The drummer left the capitol immediately via the back door, jumped in his car and drove straight to London, thinking he had killed him.
First single I ever bought as a kid.
Used my pocket money and it cost 6 shillings and 8 pence
And The Yardbirds started Hard rock
Recorded in 1966

Beck , legend
I was at the 1984.
Ray played a free concert at the front of
The Mueseum Cardiff in 2002.
It was the year of the Queens Jubilee.
Singles seemed to cost 6/8 for bloody ages.
And Velvet Underground ,Zeppelin were on another planet
Saw that I joyfully danced it away with an old friend called John Sicolo ( RIP ) who owned “The Legendary TJ's” in Newport he worshiped the man and put on so many great bands like Green Day , therapy, Hole , Big Black etc etc in this link you can see Johnny just in front of Courtney love

Arguably the Kinks were one of the most influential bands of all time.
So many great songs but Waterloo Sunset is a masterpiece.
I prefer them to the Beatles
Saw them in Cardiff University on the “Schoolboys in Disgrace” tour. Top band, always hoped they’d join back up and do a concert, but hardly looks that way now.Talented songwriters and good musicians. I met her in a club. down in old Soho, where they drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry cola, c o l a Cola.
Was always in tjs , great venue
Saw stuck mojo , sick of it all , agnostic front , honeycrack , raging speedhorn , biffy Clyro, great place and amazing kebab shop over the road
Zep started kicking arse on led zep 2 , best heavy folk , rock band
But not metal , that was sabbath
