Kinks. Live.

1984 - Irvine Meadows. Listened to Kinks Kontroversy (cassette) on the freeway drive down to the show. Girlfriend WAS Kinks virgin but that status changed immediately that night.

One of the best live shows by a British invasion band I ever witnessed. Dave, Ray and Mick - original members onstage. Audience enveloped in sheer harmonious emotion. I feel so lucky to have seen them live at least once.

God, I still get shivers while listening to Ray's guitar solo in All Day And All Of The Night and I've heard that solo a thousand times. Seven seconds of pure, unadulterated rapture. Long Live The Kinks!
