From an old VHS tape rotting away in the corner...
The Kinks - Soap Opera May 7-9, 1975 - Beacon Theatre, New York, NY According to Doug Hinman's fantastic book "The Kinks - All Day and All of the Night" (buy it!): "One show from the three-night run is videotaped in black and white by RCA Records. This is transferred to 16mm film and (was) releas
ed theatrically in the US for a limited time from July. But it is eventually pulled after an objection by the band and because of the film's poor visual quality." Ordinary People (reprise) Sunny Afternoon GOD SAVE THE KINKS!

I saw every Kinks ... ( 10 months ago by Bilko2720)

I saw every Kinks show in the NYC area throughout the 70's and have been dying to see vids of their fantastic "floor shows". The bedroom scene from Soap Opera was classic! We were so into the Kinks that we staked out the Warwick hotel lobby waiting for Ray and when we finally spied him coming down the street and went up to greet him, he looked like we were going to kill him or something (lol)! The Preservatio, School Days and Soap Opera albums should be Broadway shows by now.

I remember wigs ... ( 6 months ago by kinksfan1956)

I remember wigs like that: "fright" wigs, weren't they called? (or maybe "Harpo" wigs) Dave seems a better actor than his big brother, at least in those days.

yeah, harpo wigs, ... ( 6 months ago by franziiii)

İyidir iyi. Gençler dinlesin bunları da. Böyle istiyoruz. Dave'in sesi de güzel, kendide güzel. Kinks'i böyle bilmezdik. Sunny Afternoon'da iyidir. Daha sonra yine yazacağım.

Woooah, he actually ... ( 2 months ago by MoonBarrett)

Woooah, he actually let Dave SING? He has a great voice!

Dave makes Ray ... ( 2 months ago by thesirsplendid)

Dave makes Ray great. Ray would never admit it, but Dave is a genius musician/singer who brings a hammer of emotion in his own way that Ray could never do. Both are tremendous, god bless the Kinks!

You speak the truth ... ( 2 months ago by MarcoEsc)

You speak the truth. GOD SAVE THE KINKS! What I wouldn't give for a Dave Davies Band show right about now...

Array ( 1 month ago by RDDhopsing7)

Dave is great.
So is Ray.
David's hair is magnificent. Reminiscient of the late, great Mark Feld. I am certain that Dave like all of his contempories were influenced, not only in their hairstyles but their music by Marc. However, Ray is special just like Marc. Classic English pop/rock.

yeah, Dave has a ... ( 1 month ago by greengargantua)

yeah, Dave has a great voice, a bit high, but it is great. I love when He and Ray sing harmonies together, it sounds like they create a "Kink" man, i.e. a fictional singer. Like in "Lola", I used to think that it was one person singing some of the parts and later discovered that it was harmonies from Ray and Dave.

In Ray's book, he ... ( 1 month ago by thejacksaints)

In Ray's book, he says that Dave is his favorite guitar player after Hendrix, so I'm sure he's given him his props!

Please put more of ... ( 1 month ago by homemadepic87)

Please put more of that up! Theres not enough out there of the Kinks from like 72 to 76 when they did all the theatrical stuff. Ray Davies is a fantastic songwriter and Dave's guitar puts it all together. Enjoyed much.
