it wouldn't be on a record for another five years, the band brought this song, and Touch of Grey, out in 82. By 83 it found its legs and was a regular in the set lists. I prefer jam from this period more than the latter versions too.

in that I loved everything they did. But then Cliff died and then they hired Bob Rock to produce an album and then Lars (fuck Lars) wanted to sue the fans for doing the thing that got him fans and it all went to shit.

But for a few years this shit ruled:

There might be songs from that year that I like better but that's doubtful! I still have the record all these years later.

it was a wonderful show. Loved every second of it including the new stuff. (Which doesn't always happen when you go see a band that has been around a while and has a great back catalog but they're promoting a new album).

I've seen them (as the Kinks) four times, and I've seen Ray Davies (solo) twice.

They put on a helluva show, that's for sure.
