A Kinks tour would get me out of The Fortress.

I saw them back around the "Low Budget" days and they were really quite good. I Googled around and this setlist from 1979 seems pretty close to what I recall....

SLEEPWALKER
LIFE ON THE ROAD
ATTITUDE
PERMANENT WAVE
LOLA
LOW BUDGET
WELL RESPECTED MAN
SUNNY AFTERNOON
IN A SPACE
20TH CENTURY MAN
SUPERMAN
DEATH OF A CLOWN
MISFITS
LIVE LIFE
PRESSURE
GALLON OF GAS
CELLULOID HEROES
YOU REALLY GOT ME
ALL DAY AND ALL THE NIGHT
TWIST AND SHOUT

Done right, this reunion could be very nice for everyone involved - band and fans.

Impressive that the original members are still alive.

Father Christmas is one of my favorites.

Yeah, a reunited Kinks might get me out, too. I wonder if a good new album is too much to hope for ...

Be interesting to start a pool to guess how many gigs they can do before the Davies brothers try to kill each other.

Hey, if Eddie VH and DLR can make it happen........

Blood is thicker than water, And age has a way of changing your ways. I give it a year, If Roth and EVH can Co-Exsist, These two can.

Could be, but Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker still hated each other to the point that the Cream reunion only lasted for, what, seven shows.

I saw Ray Davies solo, in support of "Other Peoples Lives". I have never seen the Kinks,and I would love the oppurtunity to do so.





David

i'd love to give that show a go

I know time is just bumping right along but man the 60's wasnt THAT long ago.:sigh: I guess the statement to me sounded as if we were talking about WWI veterans. No doubt though most of the bands from then are WELL middle aged. Not even Ginger Baker from Cream looked like an OLD man at their reunion and he was like 10 years older than the other band members. Matter of fact the band prooved to me at least that music isn't really about age. Nobody ever said it was except maybe the very generation we are talking about. Many young people in the 60's thought that you were basically spent, out of touch, and untrustworthy after 30.:scratch2:

I think the Kinks would be a good reunion.:music: Does anybody know that they even claim to be original members. Many great bands havent seen original members SINCE the 60's. Not always death by far. There are a ton of reasons for lineup changes in the music biz....

Wow, a Kinks tour would be cool in whatever incarnation. I picked up a copy of Misfits at a local thrift store today...

"don't want to spend my life livin' in a rock and roll fantasy..." < time to put on the records and turn up the stereo :)

That's good news.
I saw them in '84 or '85, I'd lurve to see them again.

True, I thought Clapton had more to do with the problems, Than anyone?

I don't really know but here is a quote from Jack on Ginger: "Nowadays we're happily co-existing in different continents, with Ginger in South Africa, although I was thinking of asking him to move. He's still a bit too close."

I somehow think the Kinks will do a better job holding it together during their reunion.

i saw ginger baker in 69 or 70 and that dude was soooooo emaciated i never dreamed he would live 10 more years. i have seen pictures of ethiopians that looked better fed than him...

This is interesting. I have never heard that the old Cream problems resurfaced at all on the reunion. Everything I saw or read seemed to point to the idea that they had put old differences down and truely enjoyed something that they all agree is a kind of magic between the three that none of the three ever felt in other solo efforts.

Clapton especially seemed to rave on all the years he had played with so many supposed great artists and then suddenly realizing that he had missed being PART of a group of naturals as opposed to being "the star."

Be interesting to start a pool to guess how many gigs they can do before the Davies brothers try to kill each other.

:lmao:

Yeah, it would take a lot to get me to an arena, The Kinks reunited would do it.
