DVD Reviews of The Kinks - One for the Road
DVD Review: One for The Ages!
Summary: 4 Stars
The Kinks are one of the Top 5 seminal rock-n-roll bands of all time. That being said, there is shamefully almost no live video footage available commercially other than "One For The Road". This is the only commercial video release available of The Kinks in the 1970s, and this was filmed September 23, 1979 (you would not know that because the concert date is not given on the DVD)! This concert was filmed at the Providence Civic Center, Providence, RI, which is now piggishly named the "Dunkin' Donuts Center" (catch me now i'm falling indeed)!
The editing on this DVD is horrible as the concert is joined in progress (wha?) and clipped! For some wierd reason, the producers decided to begin the film showing The Kinks playing their encore "All Day And All Of The Night"; Ray Davies is soaked with sweat, his open shirt barely clinging to his body, and you're wondering why Ray is sweating so profusley and looking exhausted when the show has just started, LOL! THEN, it shows the band doing "Lola" and Ray is suddenly clean, dry, wearing his suit coat, bowtie and looking fresh (too surreal)! Besides the extremely poor editing, the concert is FANTASTIC! The Kinks put on a show for the ages! Ray is in top form strutting around and haming it up for the enthusiastic and rollicking Rhode Island crowd. The band consists of only three original members (Ray, Dave and Mick Avory), with Jim Redford (b), Ian Gibbons(k) and Nick Newell(k) making up the other half. The band makes a few errors, but Ray is able to keep the groove going with his expert frontman abilities. The setlist for this DVD is:
All Day And All Of The Night
Lola
Low Budget
Superman
Attitude
Celluloid Heroes
The Hard Way
Where Have All the Good Times Gone
You Really Got Me
Pressure
Catch Me Now I'm Falling
Victoria
During "Celluloid Heroes", footage of the band getting ready backstage is shown, and during "Where Have All the Good Times Gone", some early footage of the band in '60s is shown. As I said before, the concert is great! The band and audience feed off each other's energy and the peformance is classic! Shamefully, this is not the complete concert. The CD companion to this DVD has alot of additional music recorded from this tour at other sites, which makes it a must have in order to get the complete set list The Kinks performed during this tour. The DVD has a small interactive menu in which you are able to tour famous Kinks locations; in studio video commentary by Dave Davies on "Lola" and "The Hard Way", and a Kinks trivia game where the prize for winning is an additional clip of Dave Davies in studio commenting and reviewing the "Celluloid Hereos" performance. The Dave Davies commentary is OK, there is some interesting information from Dave as well as the usual Dave funny stuff. I do not know why Ray was not involved with Dave for this DVD release, I guess there was some brotherly animosity betwixt the two. It is interesting seeing on this DVD how at the end of the concert the band leaves the stage, while Ray lingers on the stage giving solo thank yous and bows. I mean c'mon guys, this is (or was) a BAND, a team if you will, where it takes EVERYONE working together to make a show. There is no Kinks without a band to play the music. Ray might think he is The Kinks, but Ray going onstage with a tape deck, speaker and mic and doing a karaoke version of Kinks songs is NOT The Kinks. Regardless, this is indeed a terrific performance by the Kinks, as well as being a classic document of late '70s Kinks. Highly recommended! Oh yeah, watching the Rhode Island audience sing along to Ray's pro-England paean "Victoria" is a real LFOL moment! Cheers!
