This is it, kids. You may be hip to The Beatles, Stones,The Band, The Grateful dead, et.al., but if you ain't hip to The Kinks, do yourselves a favor and dig deep into their music - you'll be glad you did. They are every bit as important, and maybe more... Totally under rated, and I just don't know why...
Although i fully lived the sixties and seventies (being 70 today) i only now begin to really appreciate the wonderful and powerful ever lasting poetry of the Kinks.
Muziekgnot = you're the same age as me then?, we were very lucky, we lived through a time when music was good, and the words were understandable and each song was an individual song and not a clone of some utter tripe like the songs of today! Bands { or groups as we called them then } came together naturally, not put together like boy bands of today! I don't regret getting old, but, if I'd known I was going to live to this age I'd have looked after myself a bit better! :-D
I'm beginning to think the Kinks may be the best rock band of all time. Not nearly as melodious as the beatles, but much more influential and versatile.
vennie brice I actually think Ray has some of the best melodies of all time. Especially the early days, there could be 3 or 4 great distinct melodies in one song, like you see in "Autumn Almanac" or "Dead End Street"
Ray and Dave should be up there amongst the greats. To see a band with that talent again won’t be in our future I lament but we’ll always have these vids to remind us when popular music peaked
Try not to listen if I'm talking in my sleep. Try not to notice when I start to crawl and creep. Try not to listen when I mumble like a loon. It's just another full moon. It's just another full moon. You see before you a truly broken man. When it gets past midnight, I don't know who I am. Full moon's a-callin', and it put a curse on me, And it will never set me free. The full moon's still up there,
Like a great white balloon. The owls are a-callin', And they're singin' my tune. The night keeps a-callin'. I wish the day would come soon, To get away from another full moon. It's just another full moon. When it get past midnight And the shadows on the wall 'Cause you can't have the moonlight And the shadows off the wall If the face in the mirror Isn't you at all, It's just another full moon. It's just another full moon. It's just another full moon.
Haven't you noticed a kind of madness in my eyes? It's only me, dear, in my midnight disguise. So pay no attention if I crawl across the room. It's just another full moon.
thanks for uploading this great footage of the Kinks. I think they were in their prime around this time(and they look unusually sober). never heard this 1 before or stormy sky. really enjoyed it. thanks again.
this was the kinks back to thier best with those 60s harmonies.sleepwalker was massive in the states and put them back on top where they belonged...the elvs are a calling and singing my tune...
Absolute true life. Alcoholics rejoice. The fear from a weary world. All the bad people should run away from the kinks. (I am sure they do). This is beyond totally cool. It is so real and true for all the broken hearted in the world. This guy is a super genius. He cares big time for people. The band is on hero status. Thin Lizzy is also on that level in my opinion. Phil Lynott. Do not throw your gifts into the air. Keep them forever.
This was the tour that I first saw them. I was only able to see them 12 more times. The last time I was to see them in 1992 the concert was canceled and they broke up.

In the late 70"s Disco was huge, and I detested it. Some rockers thought they should incorporate the Disco sound and meld it with their own brand of Rock n Roll, ie: the Stone and Rod Stewart, the result in my opinion was disastrous. Thank God for the Kinks Sleepwalker, good song writing with amazing musicianship. Honerable mention should also go to J. Geils. Monkey Island, and also Pink Floyd Animals. Not a hint of Disco in all 3 albums....
Ray is noticeably struggling with the high notes, but still a great video. I saw the Kinks before this in 69 and 72 . Those shows were fun, but pretty ragged. Their concerts were much more professional from the late 70s on, at least as I perceived it.

+Ray Navarro well said.
Ray Navarro Amen!
Amen!
the Art Lover song didn't help....
@@jayakselrud7864 from give the people what they want album, yeah weird song that, come to daddy and I'll give you some spangles 😲
The Kinks crescendo. The bass and drums. The guitars and keyboards and perfect backup singers. The genius of Ray. What a great band.
The best band, lyrics, music, and Ray's and Dave's voices. They fill me up ❤. Genius
I can’t agree more.
Beautiful song. The Kinks belong to the best ten bands ever,
Although i fully lived the sixties and seventies (being 70 today) i only now begin to really appreciate the wonderful and powerful ever lasting poetry of the Kinks.

totally underrated,,,best rock band in the 80s by a mile,,,great career full of great songs
How about the 60s thru the 90s, Eric..
i love you Ray :D thank you for the music !!!!!!!!!!
I played the crap out of the Sleepwalker album.
This was always my favorite track on the album, great lyrics and Ray hits those high notes beautifully!
I'm beginning to think the Kinks may be the best rock band of all time. Not nearly as melodious as the beatles, but much more influential and versatile.
beatles go home ;)
liebthunde666
Yep,yep. Suck It-Beatles!! Long Live The Kinks!!:)
their lyrics were always quite clever and often socially .. well, y'know. oddly still hold up, too as does their music.
vennie brice Oh, I think Ray writes even better melodies!
vennie brice I actually think Ray has some of the best melodies of all time. Especially the early days, there could be 3 or 4 great distinct melodies in one song, like you see in "Autumn Almanac" or "Dead End Street"
Deep soulful song, that connects......
Who knew he could sing like that?
(Listen to the ending..)

Try not to listen if I'm talking in my sleep.

It's just another full moon.
It's just another full moon.
You see before you a truly broken man.
When it gets past midnight, I don't know who I am.
Full moon's a-callin', and it put a curse on me,
And it will never set me free.
The full moon's still up there,
This is an exceptional song. Beautiful. Kinks Forever!:)
Brings back great memories of a great time in my life.
Like a great white balloon.
The owls are a-callin',
And they're singin' my tune.
The night keeps a-callin'.
I wish the day would come soon,
To get away from another full moon.
It's just another full moon.
When it get past midnight
And the shadows on the wall
'Cause you can't have the moonlight
And the shadows off the wall
If the face in the mirror
Isn't you at all,
It's just another full moon.
It's just another full moon.
It's just another full moon.
Alas, I have discovered a lullaby from my favorite band. Thank you Mr. Davies. I needed this tonight.
Mega Hit Potential ! Why on earth haven't people noticed that ? Well, 337 so far have. ;-)

Ray Davies frontman of the Kinks is a true songwriter genius in popmusic history .
this was the kinks back to thier best with those 60s harmonies.sleepwalker was massive in the states and put them back on top where they belonged...the elvs are a calling and singing my tune...
I absolutely love these guy's.
junk junkie Me too! 😍🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love love love this (except no shots of Dave?)!!! Thanks for a special experience and posting
He's outdone himself this time.
And that's saying something.
TO be back when I heard this the first time, My favorite Kink song

great all around! thanks.
A very good album. The song is great listening.

The Kinks are the Kings

Haven't you noticed a kind of madness in my eyes?
It's only me, dear, in my midnight disguise.
Pay no attention if I crawl across the room.
It's just another full moon.
Don't be afraid of me when I'm walking in my sleep.
Don't get alarmed, dear, when I start to crawl and creep.
Try not to listen when I mumble like a loon.
It's just another full moon.
It's just another full moon.
You see before you a truly broken man.
'Cause when it gets to midnight, I don't know who I am.
Full moon's a-callin', and it's put a curse on me,
And it will never set me free.
The full moon's still up there,
Like a great white balloon.
The owls are a-callin',
And they're singin' my tune.
The night keeps a-callin'.
I wish the day would come soon,
To get away from another full moon.
Here comes another full moon.
If your hands start shakin'
When night starts to fall,
If you're scared of the moonlight
And the shadows on the wall,
If the face in the mirror
Isn't you at all,
It's just another full moon.
It's just another full moon.
La la la la la la.
La la la la la la.
La la la la la la.
La la la la la la.
It's just another full moon.
What a beautiful song.
Great song!!
Kinks are Kings :)
BRILLIANT
This is a REALLY NICE one! But then again, I can't think of a Kinks song or performance that I don't like! :)
This is a fantastic song...never heard it before..beautiful and to the point. Kinks are deeper than just a few guys from Muswell Hill.!
They should be known for their ballads as well as the arena rock stuff. I love these period performances. Thanks for posting!
A big favorite of mine
Simply BEAUTIFUL !
Should have been a million-seller.
Ray and Dave in the 60's = hotness. Ray and Dave in the 70's = more hotness.
I wish the USA had gotten The Old Grey Whistle Test in the 70s.
what a gem, thanks
WhiteRose63: THANKs !!! :)
This is great.
WhiteRose, I'd give you a +100 for uploading all these wonderful videos if I could. Thanks!
Never heard him hit those notes before. Amazing
Aww Ray is so pretty!
Hell, yes.
definitely their best song
wonderfull
masterpiece
Emociona, Ray Davies. God save The Kinks!
@3:36 im thinkin The Sopranos - Living on the Thin Line
33 years. Like a blink of an eye:(
God save the Kinks!❤
@namey420 your dad did you right if he got you into the Kinks...check out about a hundred more classics from them

Such a great LP, such a great band!!
God Save The Kinks the best British band ever followed by Procul Harum both underated
No one better than the Beatles in my opinion. Then come The Who and Kinks. Procul Harem singing is very weak
Lo mejor KINKS
1 person had hoped that this was disco. :-D
im gessing this song is about werewiloves?
bew fuy ib bass, and still their best song
equisite
@kigster18 ... be nice... even once, in a blue moon, at least... you can be right, and, just wrong, at the same time... peace/coexsist...
Was there some sort of conspiracy to keep Dave off camera, here, and generally? It drives me crazy.
The song has the style of Harrison (beatles)
this is... you don't need to hear it at 10
Why no embedding? :(
Dave is beautiful but Ray is pretty nice here actually.
Ray is noticeably struggling with the high notes, but still a great video. I saw the Kinks before this in 69 and 72 . Those shows were fun, but pretty ragged. Their concerts were much more professional from the late 70s on, at least as I perceived it.
should have left them to the great younger brother!
Ray Davies an icon in rock history
He really messes up the words.
0 people ... oh, nvm
The whistle test seems to bring out the BEST in Bands
