Who's listening to this mighty fine kink's track right now in 2024 then you've got great taste of one of the finest r&b band in the WORLD thanks for the ace upload 💯👍🎵🎶🎸
Brian Duncan, I am a few behind you as I just turned 60. I lived in France in the early and mid ‘60s. A different time indeed. Heard a lot of these tunes via the BBC across the English Channel.
I'm 70 and live each day as I did in the 60s...all of the 60s..the best days of my life and have no regret saying that because I AM stuck in the 60s...and can't get out...then again, I don't want or need too.
so right Brian, we were spoilt for choice back then, just look at the charts and see so many great bands, surprising how many are still going which proves how good they were (are)
My god I love this song...I'm 44 year old English guy...my mom made me listen to this music since I was a kid...now I'm hooked...long live England and great Britain 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
1964 was the first time I saw this 'Y' shaped guitar and the sound Dave Davies made with it made me a Kinks fan for life. I'm 75 and still love these guys. Dave's slicing of the speakers gave us a sound most of us kids had never heard before.
Great to see someone else was intrigued by this too. I'm not a guitar player, tho his guitar looks very similar to a flying V of the 1980s metal scene. His guitar here appears very futuristic in a black/white vid of the Kinks from the mid 60s.
If they weren't overshadowed by the other 2 bands in the British Invasion, The Kinks would be considered by the average music listener to be one of the greatest bands to ever pick up instruments.
Gonna kick the hornets nest with this , but Ray's lyrics were a hell of a lot more meaningful than most of the stuff that Lennon and McCartney had going on.
I wish I was born in the 60s or 70s or 80s but I was born in 2007. I like listening to this type of music, But hey atleast I'm not the only one who enjoys these songs. there's this one girl in my class who also enjoys listening to the 60s.
As I age I realize how fortunate I was to be born in 1952 and live the tail end of the fifties and my teenage years in the turbulent but exciting sixties. The golden age of rock! Now my grandkids are discovering the music of my youth. Turn, Turn, Turn...the beat goes on..
I feel privellaged to have lived through and witnessed the explosion of Modern Music....supercharged and lead by British musicians and kids desperate for freedom. I saw ALL of these bands,..lived it,..loved it.! Being old isn't so bad....!
The Kinks will live forever. Great Song of the 60's. How easily you could fell in love just wathing the girls dancing this hit. Thanks to the uploaders.
Remember when this came out on Philadelphia's Famous 56 WFIL in late 1965 , when I was 8 yrs old. Song was what ahead of its time , and I consider it to be a garage/pop/ psych tune! Great tune!
They were banned from entering the USA for a four year period from 1965-1969, otherwise they probably would have established themselves better, like the rest of the British Invasion groups.
What do you mean underrated. Are you serious? They were huge and immense and an integral part of music history. WATERLOO SUNSET/SUNNY AFTERNOON/YOU REALLY GOT ME/LOLA/ALL DAY AND ALL OF THE NIGHT/COME DANCING and other huge hits. Ray Davies was a genius. So who underrated them? Love to know so please enlighten me.
I know just what you mean my friend. This song is such a sweet gem! A masterpiece of pop perfection! It sounds fresh every time I hear it. Isn't that amazing?
Those of us who( like me) were teenagers in the 60's lived in an enchanted time, though of course we just took it all for granted.! By comparison, how joyless is the life of youngsters today. Where are today's Kinks, Beatles, Stones, Ronettes, etc etc?
8/2023: I'm 71 and I started playing drums in 1964, and still do play. Boy, does this video bring back Wonderful memories. So much great music. It was a good time back then, in many ways. However, having to wait 1hour for a TV Dinner to be ready was a drag. (Joke) Old Saying: "If you remember the 60's, you weren't really there"! I don't remember a damn thing!!! Yes, they were great times. Wonderful nostalgia. Thanks for posting this. I subscribed Best Regards
We were in the 6th grade, and it was 1965. When Joe R., my first "boyfriend" asked me to "go steady" and wear his ID bracelet, this was the song that was playing, so it became "our song." We "broke up" 2 weeks later, but I still love this song!
One of my all time favorites and it's so nice to hear the chords on that Gibson Flying V, nice tone. I wish the sound quality were better so I could hear that 4001 Ric.
Yes, but not exactly. 🤔 To hear Dave explain the Gibson "V's" appearance, the Kinks came to the U.S., to Los Angeles, to do shows and TV, and Dave didn't have a guitar; it might not have shown up during their airplane arrival/baggage claim. 🤨 He quickly made it to a local music store, and after seeing the "V" and thinking it would look real cool on-stage, he purchased the instrument for not too much $money$. 😉
the 60s british invasion was great, beatles, stones, kinks, dave clark five, hermans hermits, animals, the who, hollies, yardbirds, gary and the pacemakers, donovan, petula clark, tom jones, great stuff, love the similiar sounds of the groups
I was 15 in 1964 when we were 'invaded once again by the British', and The Kinks were THE band of choice for most of us teenage boys at the time. We loved the REAL rock 'n' roll the Kinks brought over, and the girls liked the Beatles, the 'love song' band. LOL!!! Dave Davies and his lead guitar is what really hooked us!!!
Never got the idea why teens (or anyone in that matter) are obliged to choose their identity from many and build it around a one band or an artistof a choice. I admit I am millenial and I wasn't around at the time but it's still happened within people of my generation. The time I found out about these bands I never felt there is any feud between 'em or any contradiction in liking both of 'em. Same goes with the Who, Stones or the Yardbirds (and to that list of the greats I'd certainly add the Small Faces who are blatantly and seriously underrated 4-piece, although I wish I'll never have to use that word again.) Especially considering The Kinks and The Beatles the bands weren't THAT different ('til later when The Beatles had disbanded and The Kinks evolved into their 70's era) they were both quite rock n roll, r'n'b and pop when they needed to. Perhaps Fab 4 had a few more sort of teeny pop singles at one point, but listening to the albums + material that is out now, they were definitely a rocking band as well. The real teeny poppers of the era are maybe Herman's Hermits, Manfred Mann, and their american equivalents the Monkees, who seems like a parody band for me, though and I enjoy song or 2 by them from time to time.
One of the most amazing things about this performance is that the drummer could keep playing while that rickety lift-thing pushed him into the air. Every time he hits something, the whole contraption shakes! And kudos to Dave Davies for standing right next to it throughout. But seriously -- the Kinks were one of my teenage obsessions. Just returned from a quick visit to the UK and am tripping down memory lane with Ray and Dave via UA-cam.
Zev Feldman I love 'You Really got me' - I posted it a while back - a great classic - The Kinks were a great band and Ray Davies had such a cheekiness about him and really connected with the audience.
I was also influenced musically by the Kinks... Saw them three times live... last time was their Arthur show in '71... one of the most underated groups of all time.. P.S. Dave Davies was a pretty darn good guitarist, but his hi harmonys were amazing!!!
What a great time. I remember how annoyed Ray was when he wrote this song, we were both sat in Carnaby Street. Ray had asked for a pair of shoes in size 9 but requested that the left shoe had the emblem of an otter on the front and the right a shrew. It obviously took the shop a while to sort his request out and basically Ray was fed up with waiting.
If that was a prototype, that explains why it looks o anachronistic. I wasn't aware they were available then. Given what Dave did with some of his equipment on early Kinks records, I'm not surprised he'd want to try it.
The flying V came out in '58, with prototypes made in '57. They didn't sell well, and were discontinued in '59. A few were made out of spare parts in '63 with nickel rather than gold hardware. Thanks in part to Dave Davies, popularity picked up and Gibson resumed production in '67, with some tweeks to the design, and they've been in production since. What cracked me up in this video is how he keeps placing his arm between the wings while playing. Seems in those days, most guitarists played with their instrument at almost chest height, which looks rather awkward with that V shape. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson_Flying_V
Damned great tune. Watch Dave as he rakes those strings back and forth... FAT rhythm sound! If you want a heavily Kinks influenced artist, grab a listen to Martin Newell and his album "The Greatest Living Englishman." Newell is a GREAT writer, and happens to be one of the UKs most published modern poets. Ray Davies as one of his chief inspirations, and his pop sensibility is everywhere on the album, especially on "A Street Called Prospect" where he nails that Kinks rhythm and tasty chord changes. This is a GREAT record, and was produced by none other than Andy Partridge of XTC.
Many great songs, including some by The Beatles just have not held up over time. The 6 to 8 hits of the kinks seem to have only grown in stature over the years. There’s something about the Kinks that put them in my top three classic bands along with the Beatles and the Stones, despite their lesser output.
Those were the good old day of rock and roll British Music I seen the Kinks many times they were a great band but I believe not recognized enough. They had a unique style and sound. I though the music would never end and it marches on to absolutely nothing. Even the commercials use our music the sound will always be around like ROCK SND ROLL NEVER ENDS
@robertosborne7542 and don't forget Graham Nash from the hollies became part of Crosby Stills and Nash ..Nash alone had more impact on America than the hollies and kinks combined

That guitar was probably one of the early Gibson Flying V’s made of Korina. The original early versions are very rare and very valuable.
i grew up with rock and roll and this one remains one of the greatest songs in rock history.
I don't care what anybody says. The Kinks were the greatest and this song is forever...
Ray Davies is a genius songwriter.
Pete Townshend actually stated that Ray should be made the British Poet Laureate!
If they weren't overshadowed by the other 2 bands in the British Invasion, The Kinks would be considered by the average music listener to be one of the greatest bands to ever pick up instruments.
He totally is! ☺️

I always liked the Kinks and this song was one of my favorites.
One of my favorite groups at that time !
This reminds me to the great 60's again!
What a time it was!
In my all time top 10 singles !
Most under rated British group, amazing talent
This song is so damn good it brings tears to my eyes. Damn, why can't bands in the 21st Century write songs this good ?

Great band
Not if you've followed them since they invaded in 1964. You know everything they've released and love it.
Los terceros de toda aquella explosión de rock que fue la invasión británica de los primeros 60's
Amazing band, one of the best from the 60's.
Old fogie here, 67 yo ..and I miss the music of this era more and more. So glad for you tube, I spend hours listening to the oldies.
HI , I am 70 yrs just loved the kinks music ...still do ,thanks for bringing it back , cheers
Remember when this came out on Philadelphia's Famous 56 WFIL in late 1965 , when I was 8 yrs old.
Song was what ahead of its time , and I consider it to be a garage/pop/ psych tune!
Great tune!
Love the Flying V Gibson. Such a wonderful song. Pubescent wonderland
I think the most underrated band of all time.
The Searchers are the most underrated
John B Agree totally!
They were banned from entering the USA for a four year period from 1965-1969, otherwise they probably would have established themselves better, like the rest of the British Invasion groups.
The Kinks were underrated, listen to the natural harmony and the use of real instruments to knock out a great tune creating a great atmosphere,
No, they were not under rated.EVERYBODY knew how great they were !
What do you mean underrated. Are you serious? They were huge and immense and an integral part of music history. WATERLOO SUNSET/SUNNY AFTERNOON/YOU REALLY GOT ME/LOLA/ALL DAY AND ALL OF THE NIGHT/COME DANCING and other huge hits. Ray Davies was a genius. So who underrated them?

truly one of the best song writers
I first heard this song in March of 1965 never once thougt I be hearing it in 2023.

Absolutely an incredible experience with music like this.. love laid back days of music like this..

This was the first time I saw a Gibson Flying V guitar and I thought they looked so cool.
The bass guitar Your thinking about was made by a British company called Burns.
The bass is a Rickenbacker; the guitar is a Gibson Flying V (a prototype, as I understand it).
If that was a prototype, that explains why it looks o anachronistic. I wasn't aware they were available then.
Given what Dave did with some of his equipment on early Kinks records, I'm not surprised he'd want to try it.
The flying V came out in '58, with prototypes made in '57. They didn't sell well, and were discontinued in '59. A few were made out of spare parts in '63 with nickel rather than gold hardware.

I can think of one.
@robertosborne7542 and don't forget Graham Nash from the hollies became part of Crosby Stills and Nash ..Nash alone had more impact on America than the hollies and kinks combined
WOW! Living the good time again, even if its only for a few minutes.
