Here's one more early '70's Kinks show, as the Kinks return to the Fillmore West just about a year after their highly successful stint there in 1969 (great concert boot from that show posted previously). This one is a bit of an oddity, however. Ray and the band are very loose and deliver a rambling eclectic set that seems more like a rehearsal session than an actual performance. It does have it's moments, though, such as a 10-1/2 minute extended jam version of 'Last of the Steam-Powered Trains' and a rockin 'Brainwashed'. Overall, not really one of their best shows, but, as always, still interesting and great to hear them at this stage in their career. I picked this up from 'Viva Les Bootlegs' awhile back, so thanks to them.

Tracklist:
1. Opening (Mr. Wonderful)
2. Till The End Of The Day
3. Last of the Steam-Powered Trains
4. Big Sky
5. Brainwashed
6. Strangers
7. A Long Way From Home
8. Harry Rag
9. Act Nice and Gentle
10. Sunny Afternoon
11. Waterloo Sunset
12. Lola
13. Top of the Pops (cut)

Here's another fine Kinks show from the early 70's, following the 'Everybody's in Showbiz' album. This one features the expanded 8-piece band configuration (they added keyboards, trumpet, trombone, and sax/clarinet from about 1972-1976) , and it is interesting to hear the added horns and arrangements on some of the earlier songs. The recording quality is not great, but still very listenable, and better than many from this period.

Tracklist:
1.Victoria
2. Acute Schizophernia Paranoid Blues
3. Till The End Of The Day
4-7. Medley (The Last Time I Saw You/Little Queenie/Shakin All Over/Whole Lotta Shakin Going On, Etc)

Hey, it's been well over a year since I posted any Kinks shows, so it's high time for some Kinks! I've got a few more vintage shows from the early '70's that don't seem to be as widely circulated as some others. Here is a very good audience recording from a show from Queen's College in 1971, capturing The Kinks in their hey-day, and Ray Davies in a particularly playful mood throughout. This show is also notable because a student, Ben Rosenblatt, who introduced himself to Ray before the show, was invited to accompany the band on piano on two tracks - Mister Pleasant and Autumn Almanac - both rarely performed live. This was previously posted on Wolfsbane's music site 'Nathan's Rock Moat', but the links there have expired, so here it is at 'The Chronicles'.

Tracklist:

1. Introduction (Lighting Problem)

2. Give My Love To Rose

3. Till The End Of The Day

4. Brainwashed

5. Apeman

6. Get Back In Line

7. Mr. Pleasant

8. Autumn Almanac

9. Dedicated Follower Of Fashion

10. Mr. Big Sky

11. Sunny Afternoon

12. Lola

13. Medley: Milk Cow Blues - Powerman - You Are My Sunshine

14. You Really Got Me

15. All Day And All Of The Night

16. Waterloo Sunset

Here's another radio show from fairly early in BNL's career, this one as they return home after the widespread success of their first album (at least in Canada, it would be a couple more years before they attained success in the U.S.). Here they perform almost the entire first album, as well as several new songs that would later appear on their second and third albums. Already by this time, the band had a much more professional approach than the earlier wilder shows (pre-first album). They are still having fun, but now put more emphasis on the music than the craziness. An excellent show. Enjoy.

Sorry about the long time since the last post, but I've been on extended travel and vacation, and did not have access to the internet for most of that time. Anyway, after posting such fun groups as the Fab Poodles and Deaf School, I thought I would continue with who I think is the most fun rock band of all time, the Barenaked Ladies. Their music is fun, clever, and witty, their shows are fun, and they always seem to be having great fun performing their music. However, these guys are not only about fun, they are also great musicians, with great songs that are highly diverse and reflect many different styles and influences. They have grown and developed (and possibly matured?) as musicians, songwriters, and performers over the years, and have put out surprisingly strong, articulate, and nuanced performances and songs on their later releases (Such as the Are Me and Are Men albums). Thus, they have become another one of my favorite bands. In their early days, they were known as sarcastic, irreverent, smart-alecks, and were all about just having fun. Here is a concert from those wilder early days of the group, from May 1991, several months before their first major album, Gordon was released in 1992 (They had only a couple of self-produced indie tapes at this point). It is a wild, raucous, talkative, and almost out-of-control show (as they can barely contain themselves), with the 'ladies' featuring a number of tongue-in-cheek covers (everything from Prince and Madonna to rap and NWA), several other early original but never-released songs, as well as numerous songs that would appear on their first album. This well-recorded radio broadcast gives a good glimpse of the somewhat chaotic early shows by the band. I believe I originally got this from Nathan's Rock Moat, so thanks Wolfsbane.
