The Kinks - 1983-04-25 - The Forum, Inglewood, CA (Mike Millard Master Tape)

The Kinks

1983-04-25
The Forum, Inglewood, CA
Audience recording (Mike Millard Master Tapes via JEMS), very good quality
The Lost and Found Mike the MICrophone Tapes Volume 83
Mp3 @320 kbps

Here's one more Kinks show from the Mike Millard tape series, this one from 1983, just prior to the release of State of Confusion. Thus this show adds several new songs from that album, including their current hit single at the time, 'Come Dancing', as well as 'Definite Maybe', 'Don't Forget to Dance', 'Bernadette', and the album title track. Due to the resurgent popularity of The Kinks at this time following their previous albums Low Budget (1979) and Give the People What They Want (1981), this tour the band was playing to much larger stadiums and arenas. This the sound is not quite as sharp or intimate in these shows as the previous ones posted (1978 and 1981 shows). For example, the 1981 show was at The Palladium (seats <5000), whereas this show was at The Forum (capacity>18,000). Still a great show, but more audience noise, echo, etc. Also, this recording is missing the encore performances (which I have listed at the end of the track listing), but all of these songs were also played at the 1981 Palladium show previously posted, so those are available if you want to add back those songs to complete the concert experience. One other note: I only have this show as mp3 (no lossless FLAC for this one). Although I'm sure that lossless must be available out there somewhere, I don't have it for this one. Anyway, enjoy the show, another gem from The Kinks.
