Petey is right though on some level anyway, and I respect him even more for having said that ( Petey I still love you man!) ...although I would say they are neck and neck..but songwriting is not a contest...the talented artists are unique and certainly the world is a much prettier place for having BOTH of these talents sharing their visions with us. :-)

Well...let me just say that the highlight blew me away completely....
Petty ended night 2 with his standard ender "American Girl"...I thought it was over until Chris says that he sees someone is putting up lyric sheets onstage and just then Pearl Jam takes the stage and they all break into....wanna guess....I was chanting his name BEFORE the song started...LOL AND my taper our very own Travelin' Man Records was in the audience (he SURPRISED us and came at the last minute)!!!!!
Which means eventually I'll have this show to pass on to anyone who wants a copy!
...Oh what was the song?!?.....
Why.....it was....
Rainy Day Women #12 & 35!!!
Joey?!
Why is the song named that????

Bloody fuck! Just got home from the Paramount Theater....from seeing an incredible Ray Davies concert. It was absolutely fantastic (we got 15 row seats dead center 45 minutes before the show began) and afterwards we met Ray!!!!! He signed my CD of his latest work.
It was a grand time!
I had to tell someone...!
Anyone here a fan?
;-)
I'm on a loooooow budget!
I'm a big fan as well. The first time I ever saw a show at Madison Square Garden was a Kinks show (a very long time ago). I will be at the SF show as well looking forward to it! |

Good going monkey_man! I also saw The Kinks in either 1977, 1978 or 1979 in Cincinnati, OH. I have to look into the archives to see when the hell this show happened.
You will dig the SF show! :-)

I have a suggestion pd. Take Ray a gift...a flower (your daughter could give it to him) heck I can't think of anything cool, but I know you can think of something to take to him. I didn't see anyone give Ray anything whem he signed for us, so that came to mind as an afterthought.
LMK if you go for this. Good luck!
peace and love,

Muswell Hillbillies (remastered SACD) AMAZING!
The Storyteller
I've also ordered a few others (can't remember the titles at the moment.....hey it's Saturday night..tea time) through my music club...but I couldn't wait. Had to find the original version of "Victoria". Gawd I dig that tune.
I am a Denver Fucker. :-)
Where you been Captin' Sway? Good to go I trust. :-)
LJ call has been made! Peace to you sister..now go to that P&tH and ABB show!
Haven't seen either of those Kinks albums...thanks for the hook-up!
peace out,

I saw him in Berlin in April. Great show, 25 songs, good band but I missed Dave on harmonies (and, on some songs, guitar). Question for Martha : did he have a young lady join him for harmonies on a few songs? He did in Berlin, wasn't clear who she was - seemed like kind of a tryout. Hope she passed.
I've also met Ray at a book signing, told him how his song "Days" helped me through the death of a good friend. He then took my hand, shook it and said thank you. I know he can be cranky, but he was a pure gent that day (Storyteller tour).
Long live Ray, and the KINKS! |

I have a CD of that Berlin show, and it's brilliant. In addition to all the gems in the setlist just posted, that night he also did This Is Where I Belong and Autumn Almanac.
Ray was probably so sulky the day I met him was probably simply because in-store signings must be real drag. That night at the show he was charming as can be.
Speaking of Victoria, which is indeed a great tune, it took me decades to realize it owes a large debt (but does not rip off, as some contend) to Canned Heat's Going Up the Country, both in the music and vocal delivery.

Long live Ray and THe KINKS INDEED my rock and rollin' friend. Very nice story! I am happy for you!
In answer to your question...Yes the blond female singer was with him and came out to duet only on a few songs. I missed Dave too.
Maybe the rumored KINKS reunion will come to fruition.

Um, considering Pete has admitted to ripping off the Kinks, and that the Kinks came first, your statement is incredibly misguided. When you take into consideration the songwriting of Ray Davies from Face to Face (1966) through Muswell Hillbillies (1971), you have a body of work that is very much comparable quality to the output of the Stones and the Beatles during the same period. Other than the early singles (which again, the Kinks came first), I don't really see a valid comparison with the Who at all. |

Kinks, imo, not even close to one of the all time greats..A fun band whose time in the spotlight was overshadowd by other bands...They are not in my top 50-but if you love them, more power to you. They are no Who or Rlooing Stones. More like Blue Oyster Cult.
