Dave Davies - Death Of A Clown (live 2002)

[@Idacyder]

Such an attractive and watchable performer - there`s something quite hypnotic about him; a sweetness one can`t help loving. I love all of Dave`s songs and his voice. The egoless Kink.

[@liniwaskow321]

It's nice to see Dave enjoying himself up there on stage- Nice to know he's still got it. An extremely talented man!

Great song still got a great voice live,,

[@hein628]

wahnsinn, das nochmal so zu hören.......top jou tube

[@quidnunc2436]

This song still sounds great almost 40 years on.

[@RhumOnFire]

even nowadays his voice gives priceless emotions... top tune!

[@nogrouchy]

Dave still is such a charming boy. You simply have to love him! Though, I`d like to say that in my opinion the lyrics demand a more melancholy look - as he used to perform it when he was young (and sad). Anyway, a wonderful song, a wonderful person.

[@leklilekli5209]

So good.What a talent. Memories of a great era.

[@klaus3217]

Ein großartiges Künstler und zeitlos schön, Thank you

[@cmglennon]

I bumped into him yesterday at a pub near Euston! A nice soul and person!! I hope he plays on stage with Ray before its too late!!! I got a great a pic of him! purple glasses!!! he was was wearing!!

[@robinrunciman7046]

A natural superstar - always appearing happy and joyful - great soul - love him

[@ronfrankl]

What a great song! Dave is an amazing artist; the sad irony of his life was to be the brother of an even greater artist, who casts a very long shadow.

[@sateliteoflove202]

Dave Davies deserves respect forever. Love ya dave

[@stephenkane2464]

beautiful

[@MrGoldenthroat]

Incredible job by Dave here! In my estimation,this is easily one of the top ten kinks songs ever!! Some others I include in this rarified air: Picture Book, People Take Pictures Of Each Other, Sitting By The Riverside, Tin Soldier Man, Misty Water, Waterloo Sunset, Sunny Afternoon. I'll stop here!

[@Sabatinitennis]

And to think his brother gets so much credit -this is an ace number and should be up there with the best anthems.

[@truvi2461]

🥰😍👍 Thanks so much!

[@Marty270472]

Great Song, i love it

[@jenreinke1584]

[@isolationblues]

This has always been one of my favorite Kinks songs.

[@mikefellows3901]

Genius, love the guy !

[@silviovenezia4934]

super song

[@Lomedae]

Yeah, he got the stroke 2 years later. From what I've heard he's made as good a recovery as possible, a tour is in the working for later this year, I can't wait.

[@dbailey62]

My two favourite Kinks songs are "Death of a Clown" and "Suzanna's Still Alive". Thanks for posting this!!!

[@achoest]

great song, my dad introduced me to it when I was about 8 and I have loved it ever since (Im 20 )

[@person-ce8cr]

[@robxtd4759]

[@DogDevilman]

LEGENDAIRE

[@Mirjana633]

Superb!

[@LadyGmarilyn]

Love this song...happy memories of our caravan site in Aberystwyth where it was played constantly, (by me mainly), on the club jukebox..in 1967

[@patszer8314]

Awesome performance!

[@adrianesslinger6665]

Love this Song...

[@elisabethadamiat2805]

Clear and fascinating voice!

[@Transterra55]

I am a huge Dave Davies fan, but Kudos to the band for following his idiosyncratic performance...

[@8for8]

Timeless song !! From the incredible sixties !!

[@ciccio79blog]

It's for me the best version of this song!!!

[@rogersundfors3363]

This is such a great song...

[@myway43]

Fantastic song.

[@alainpaum]

What a fantastic song powerfull and so sad !

[@Kassandra1Kink]

You have great memories! :))))))))

[@Lomedae]

"De laatste show" was the name of this program that ran on Belgian TV between 1999 and 2012. The band was part of the show.

[@svenklinger]

it's a fantastic song

[@1000chairs]

many thanks lomedae, he may have lost a bit of hair but shit he looks great! and sounds excellent!!

[@crisp2882]

[@shuggiethegreat64]

[@emiliopedace3915]

La musica e la nostalgia dei mitici anni sessanta.

[@historicbloke]

OMG fantastic

[@fred79a]

great upload

[@fuselfuerst88]

awesome!!!

[@mattaki]

i love this guy.

[@Augmuse]

I have the vinyl album this song was on so that kind of dates me. Dave and Ray have such talent. I wish they had the same ability to get along that they have in creativity. The Kinks need a better end than the way it stoped.

[@doramonter9702]

Without words😄

[@quidnunc2436]

Really original song. I remember when it was first released in the late 60s.

[@alsmithey]

Hazzah for Dave! Bravo! Bravo!

[@garagerocker48]

This version was played at the end of a popular belgian tv show ,that's the reason why the presentor interrupted at the end of the song

[@kaeserer]

Great! DD one of F the BEST!

[@bjarnet5261]

Its one of the Best song in vhole world

[@cynthiadaw131]

Ok... I love me some Dave. He helped Ray made those songs sound like kinks songs in the day.

[@reksub10]

i ,ove how dave shout sing after 3 ,then says sorry, 4 ,,,then shouts "3" when the lalalala bit starts classic had me in stiches

[@비정한세상]

My makeup is dry and it clags on my chin I'm drowning my sorrows in whisky and gin The lion tamer's whip doesn't crack anymore The lions they won't fight and the tigers won't roar So let's go and drink to the death of a clown So won't someone help me to break up this crown Let's all drink to the death of a clown The old fortune teller lies dead on the floor Nobody needs fortunes told anymore The trainer of insects is crouched on his knees And frantically looking for runaway fleas

[@dogus.utoopia]

♡♡♡♡♡

[@jurgennix4943]

Thanks for the Memory ❤❤❤

[@Lomedae]

Well, unfortunately Dave suffered a stroke in 2004, an d though his recovery has been impressive he still has a lot of problems, e.g. he has great trouble singing and playing guitar at the same time. Notwithstanding, he has released a new album in 2007, though he can't really play shows to support it as I understand it.

[@MusclesfromB]

fucking legend

[@Lomedae]

@bobsy49 The show's host did a recap of the guests of the show and announced when the next airing would be.

[@TheAnthonybozza]

Anybody saying anything negative about this video is whack. It's a live performance at small and personal venue.

[@iliana1604]

Por Dios tan guapo que era!!!

[@wellhausen]

ja das war noch Musik. bedankt vor instelling

[@kurman4749]

This was always a great song that didn't get the recognition it merited.

[@manuelabornheim3992]

The first record I bought in my live...I think it was in 1967

[@goldheartbadge]

Sir Ray: "And now I'd like to hand over to my brother, Dave Davies...who's going to sing you a medley of his HIT!"

[@commonsensibility2051]

Dave was the kinks backbone.

[@MrGoldenthroat]

SUBLIME!!!

[@Nagatinetz]

Запись четырнадцатилетней давности! Время никого не щадит. Рано или поздно мы уйдём за клоуном!!!

[@kurtomcburto]

In abandoned amusement park in my state of Ohio someone wrote some of the songs lyrics on a walk

[@satanmorder]

He looks like Kevin James right there :O (one of my favorite tv show actors) and the music is great! 5/5

[@Ronny3603]

It's for Belgian tv ,and the presentator speak Dutch .

[@Daniel_Enriquez]

✌️

[@thewolf12811]

Karat ist vielleicht etwas neuer.--Aber Dave Davis--The Kinks.!

[@theshadowbroker]

Mark Hamill, thanks for sending me here

[@snowhawk58]

Score one for the Clowns Snowhawk ;)

[@wpDM34]

In a Swedish video with Space Age Baby Jane will a clown be killed, from 2002.

[@redbiter]

Wow,what a beautiful mullet LOL

[@sirjimis]

Love that English accent.

[@ShotgunTheMan]

All Of Us Right?

[@billy.walshaw]

the old vaudavillien in dazzling form...you can see he's played it too many times and he knows it...but he also knows its a fucking top song..and the boys in the band care..."everybody after 3...sorry 4"..beer4dave

[@moxie96]

see the bill oddie thing and you know those things they say about Dave itching to get back on stage again are possibly true. He'll likely plan s whole slew of dates a bit after what he's currently immediately doing with detune tv...

[@Orichalon99]

Sung well, but I didn't like that the keyboards were muted out a bit, and too upbeat for me

[@bjarnet5261]

Death of a clow is the best song The Kimgs Have done

[@josbruls]

It was just an end-of-show message in Dutch, nothing 'bout the band or Dave Davies.

[@juanjoseperez562]

Stones 😣, Beatles 😣. The kinks 👏 👏 👏

[@yell50]

Is this not a kinks record? why is it Dave seems to be always without his brother Ray when he is performing this song can body give me info on this anomaly

[@vikingbeard]

An OVATION Dave..... Well at least the rest of the band sounds great :-)

[@Sabatinitennis]

So Dave can't match Ray's song-writing? .......... some song this is......... The Kinks would love to have had this in their live set more often I feel!

[@kerngesund]

What's the name of the show? And does the band belong to the show?

[@pokerfolio]

Is that a his band or the TV shows band? It is a bit messy in places but they are pro enough to keep going. The bald guy looks totally lost.

[@organaphus]

I seem to remember he had a stroke recently-I think he's recovered well though.

[@alistermcdowall6243]

come tae M otherwell any time man,seeminly no dude has heard that song apart from maself aand ma dead brother.

[@pokerfolio]

Thank you. Dave wasn't keeping to the script.A good video though.
