I was 16 years old when this song came out. At age 19, it played as I was on my way to start my compulsory military training. Today, 26th September, 2022, at age 68, I still enjoy it immensely.
I'm a 68 yr old man ,heard alot of great music in my time ,blues ,country ,rock ,religious ,hip hop ,reggae, slot of great musicians came & gone ,,Motown, soul ,all great performers ,it has been a great life ,involving slot of greatness
In college, after a keg party at our pad we went to town for food we ended up with a black lab pup after, trying to recover and now with a black lab pup. Lola came on the radio, we were all singing. Well the little pup started singing too. Lola was her name. She lived 16 beautiful yrs. Thanks Kinks and daddy still thinks of you Lola..RIP
Whenever there is discussion about great showmen of rock, Ray Davies definitely deserves a mention, the man can hold an audience in the palm of his hand 🎸❤
86 and so fortunate to have been around for such great UK Music Beatles Stones Queen Acker Dacker, Quo, Phil Rod,Sting,Bee Gees,Elton,10cc,Dire.plus many many more🇬🇧 I have a friend from the Ukraine who was never allowed to hear this music. She simply stated your country has so much creative talent I wonder where it all came from?🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👏 Theres millions of people swarming like flies down Waterloo underground🥰
It does my heart good to see a bunch of " old ????" folks enjoying such great music. I went to a Beach Boys concert back in the early 80s and it was the only other place i have seen people my age (61) enjoying the music
The Kinks were the first album I bought. Around 1970 and I was 13 years old. I've never stopped loving their music. Thanks Kinks for all the great music you gave this world!!!!!!
Ibiza, Formentera island I remember them, Ray and Dave at the San Fransico hotel in the early 70's it was a good afternoon, and a lazy night on the beach
The sixties and seventies musically were the best years ever. So many great bands and groups. The Beatles will always be remembered and so they should be. But there were many other very talented groups out there and I think the KINKS. We’re brilliant.
Short answer. "No." '95 was their last concert tour in the U.S. Both Ray and Dave went on to do solo tours after that but there's little hope they'll perform anymore.
Whoa! Memory lane, or what?! Lola..first record I ever bought!! Yes,..record! Kinks awesome, and forever legendary, fun band. I'm an " oldie", now..but young at heart. Live on!!
I was 20 when this song came out. Now, at 72 (73 in 3 days), I still consider the music of the 60's and 70's as being the best and most innovative music ever. And it was groups like the Kinks, the Beatles, the Stones, CCR, Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, the Doors, Three Dog Night, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, the Who, Steppinwolf, and so many others that made it all possible.
Seen them play this song when I was a kid great show after the show was over and everyone was leaving must have been a couple of thousand people singing this song as they were walking to their cars was great good times I f.... guess u had to be there to really enjoy it 😉
I used to sing this with my baby daughter in the car with a CD all the time in the 90’s and so when she was 4 I suggested if she wanted to sing karaoke at Kanakti Harbor, she should go talk to the band. She marched over and I saw them negotiating and then she got on the stage and belted out: Well, it’s good to be here in Philadelphia!” And continued to belt out the song with the little green man in my head. Omg she slayed them! I looked at the crowd and every few seconds another person would recognize the song and tell their group, and the crowd went wild!
A good friend of mine waited on the Kinks at the hotel we both worked at in the early 80's. They gave him 2 tickets for the show later that night at the Auditorium North Hall in Memphis TN. My friend couldn't go so he gave me his tickets. I called a girl I barely knew in one of the Economics classes I was taking in college. The tickets were in the orchestra pit, literally one foot from the stage! Best damn tickets I have ever had to any live rock show in my life. Show was fantastic, sound was fantastic as were the seats. Seats that close change the entire experience of a live concert. I'll never forget it.
I've always been a Kinks fan, now seeing this in Sept 2021 I realise I've neglected them , I still have some CD's of them which I now will listen to again.This is a very video, thanks to uploader
I was a young teenager, didn’t know anything about rock and roll! I was turned on to Bruce, Pink Floyd, Styx, then I was a manager of a record store! I found my niche! The Kinks took me to my happy place! Always thankful, loving them still! Forever!
I was there at the concert! People were clapping and screaming for the Kinks. I really loved their set. I was in my 60's and enjoyed the concert immensely.
If this concert was played any time in the 60s and 70s at the latest that would put you well over 100 years old and I doubt that very much. Even if it was in the 80s that would still put you at 90 to 95 years old and I seriously doubt that to.
Song still makes everyone smile and laugh. Except that one cousin who got busted with a cross dressing hooker. He says he didn't know was Man, 40 years later, The extended family still jokes about it at the holidays.
The kinks friggin amazing their back catalogue is pure royalty My 3rd all time rock band Behind the who the stones Incredible band formed in the sixties
As a kid one friend talked about the kinks songs which we didn't know back in the 80's being into 80s music..Anyhow got to know there Music later and it's timeless

Watch the concert. No need to record it, someone else will

@Captain_Avation0134cheers 😀🍷🎉🇩🇪
Try the psych stuff like Black Angels, Tibetan Miracle Seeds, Black Market Karma and Brian Jonestown Massacre.. love the 60's tho.
We thought it was impossible that Rock could disappear
Give us back happiness ! People smiling , singing , dancing . No phones ... Kinks are legends , thank you 🎼🎸
No
@James Hodson The Kinks recorded this in 1970, REM was formed in 1980.

Music, of today does not top music of 60's70's. I love this song
Grew up in the 90s music was kicking not as good but still had spirit feck all now
I'm 62 and still listening and feeling the effects of this music.
Even after I'm gone....
I'm taking it with me!
Likewise! 🎉🎶🎸
You betcha!
no generation ever will produce such music !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing in any years is comparable to music of the 60/70s precious n meaningful
Such a magical time to have been alive
I was 16 years old when this song came out. At age 19, it played as I was on my way to start my compulsory military training. Today, 26th September, 2022, at age 68, I still enjoy it immensely.

Oh God, I'm glad I'm British. This is like an anthem in our country.
It certainly beats the monarchy anthem.

This song I liked came out in 1970 when I was 14 ! Always loved it ! Still do !
I was blessed to see the Kinks as a group and Ray/Dave solo acts over 60 times. Always a great time. This live performance is a classic.
Do they still perform?
60 ? Come on holy molyyyyy 😃😃
Short answer. "No." '95 was their last concert tour in the U.S. Both Ray and Dave went on to do solo tours after that but there's little hope they'll perform anymore.
@@barbaragottlock230 👌 TY.
Shit yeah music speaks when we were under 60 and over 16 and it always be Rockers like us never died 🦂🎼👍🎸🎸🎶😎

One of my favorite songs sung by one of my favorite bands. Love them.
What a showman
The kinks were a great group miss this music I wish these young people would bring it back!
As a guy who visited Soho clubs in the old days, I always find this song to be both accurate and memorable.
I wonder why???
The good old days
Ha theese r the good old days 4 our kids

I'm only 45 and was raised on it. When music was real
We did grow up with the best music ever
This is just awesome. Seeing Ray and Dave playing together is pure joy. They know how to rock the house!
And rays the roof
Saw them in 1977 hell yes
The best 🍱 🎍 🎄
Thank God for you tube. New generations of fans can hear and see the music we grew up with in the 60's.
@Sue C Well said Sue, in the good old days when bands could play and sing, not like the shit we have today!!
i was born in 75, and still think the kinks are even better than the beetles.
The Kinks were there Rockin the house through the 70's - 80's and on and on. Guys put on a great show.
Not a damn cell phone in whole crowd…see, we survived back then, happier care free times 😊
Still a great song and great lyrics .... 23rd Sep 2021
True
@Lesley-I’m here 9/28/21, and I completely agree! 😁😁
Use sitting back in the groove Lesley …. So cool 30/9/21 Sydney Australia
Still listening 50 years later.
Ditto !!!
Still lovin it....way to gp...Lola....x
I have jammed this for 40+yrs.
1 of the best damn groups to grace a Stage , I'm 71 now, liked these guys since I was 16
One of the best groups in the 70s❤
The sixties

Seen them play this song when I was a kid great show after the show was over and everyone was leaving must have been a couple of thousand people singing this song as they were walking to their cars was great good times I f.... guess u had to be there to really enjoy it 😉
what u say LOLA😘🤔🤔
nothing can beat the classics
Legendary band...Ray one of the best songwriters ever!
It’s like an anthem…. What a performance 🎤
WOW, you can clearly feel the love coming off the crowd. Awesome :)
Excellent live performance....... Never seen a crowd so into the music. From the very young to the seniors
that's cause cleveland has always loved the Kinks
watch Status Quo audience for total participatience
Does anyone know what year this video was filmed?

Every generation has its own music. Boomers started rock and roll and it has endured. Because of the size of the cohort we have got miles to go.
