The Kinks - Swedish Newsreel, 1965

[@felixmadison5736]

Oh...to be 16 years-old again, but know what I know now!! LOL!!! The KINKS were the BOMB back in the day, and I still listen to them now that I'm an old man of 75!

[@BigSky1]

The Kinks are playing live but the live track has been removed and the studio version dubbed on probably due to the poor sound from the screaming and the lack of amplification in 1965

[@easkels]

I´ve read about this. The venue was a cinema for few hundred people. The Kinks played two shows per day for 4 days. In between shows (since it was a cinema) the venue was cleared for cinema guests to watch a film!

[@edmondhankiewicz5518]

C ' est toute mon adolescence, avec ces groupes mythiques !

[@yesterdayproductions1019]

The Kinks were great. The very early stages of hard rock with songs like "You Really Got Me" & "All Day & All of The Night".

[@Golafsson]

Great video, many thanks to WhiteRose63, I was at one of those concerts, 13yo at the time, still remember my seat was in row 7, and the opening act of Kinks was the coolest thing I had ever seen and was to see for several years. At this time The Kinks were next to the Beatles in fame and popularity. And still have a special place with me. ... PS the first band is Tempo, then Bravo from Akureyri, really young kids, I never heard of them later.

[@FlipDahlenburg]

Ah! Thanks! Tempo covered a "Beatles song.

[@chrissygerwitz520]

The concert was not earlier than August 1965, since the warmup group was singing a Beatles song from the "Help!" LP.

[@albertoc4038]

Yes, it called "the night before"

[@chrissygerwitz520]

@@albertoc4038 Yes, of course. I was only trying to get the time frame right. "Help!" was released on August 6, 1965.

[@whatuseeker]

Thanks and watching for the first time reminded me how great this group was in 1965 :-)

[@duppera74]

The first support act is a band called Tempo, The kids in the striped shirts are called Bravo. I don't know anything about them, except that they're both Icelandic. Got the names from the swedish commentary. Great vid :)

[@pmichael590]

Seems like a lot of their early concert footage had the studio version over dubbed

[@fwzzybird]

sometimes i wish i had been born two decades earlier... wish i could have seen them play in the 60s and 70s...

[@fjahnhogler]

Both of the support acts were Icelandic. First one was called "Tempo" and the second one "Bravo"!

[@alonenjersey]

About the band Bravo! Their parents let them stay up late playing this gig?

[@55e9st]

The guitar is still playing when Dave adjusts the amp.

[@richardwhitaker3835]

The Ac:DC of the middle 60s I remember, I was 6yr old 1964

[@felixmadison5736]

And a Kinks fan at that age? LOL!!

[@thanes1234]

awesome stuff thanks white rose63 for sharing, and ta muchly mister reali for hipping me to this great footage of one of the best beat groups the world ever knew!

[@oreilly1237878]

Fantastic,that was the way it was.Great newsreel.

[@BigSky1]

The first band is playing The Night Before and the second I’m Down both by The Fab 4.

[@aleecat75]

Terrific vid! Thanks for posting!!

[@tigerbug69]

Great upload. Thanks!👍

[@twosisters9]

THANKS THANKS THANKS, WhiteRose63, for the GREAT GREAT GREAT video ! Love you for this !

[@MarianneSpellman]

THANK YOU!

[@stargate1555]

Boy did "You Really Got Me" piss our parents off or what? LOL

[@dee74raz]

Sorry for being pedantic, but this newsreel is in the Swedish language and not Icelandic. Therefore it is a Swedish newsreel talking about the Kinks in Iceland. Television did not enter Iceland until 1966. Cinemas were early, but I don't know when in Iceland

[@fishandchips8813]

Yep. That is Swedish. They should change the title.

[@mollyumali4030]

Dee Raz Exactly

[@gfrkiss]

it does say Swedish newsreel.

[@markfrancis6508]

thank you. we share.

[@tunenito]

X-tremely cool video, thanks for posting!!

[@arbutus27]

amazin, innit? all these years later, here they are on one's desk top. strewth. never woulda thought it possible....

[@PAULLONDEN]

"What was Dave waving?" 0:15 We sure need the latest deciphering software for that.... "Who were the two support bands?" 'The Bottles' and ' The Bees'(striped shirts) .... two of Iceland's thousand Bietel tribute bands who went on to great fame and were inducted in Iceland's "Ruck & Roll Hall Of Lame" . Interesting footage but somewhat of a cop out from Swedish newsreels to play Kinks' studio versions behind this. For those interested in true live Kinks ,this link to 1965 Paris will do fine , with a pre Brian Jones Anita Pallenberg trying to impress a just married Ray Davies with her irresistible smile.. 👉🏼kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXbbk2ZjlNmmfrc 👈🏻

[@tarnsand440]

Kids band lead singer..chewing gum while singing...lol. Was the tv sponsor a gum company. The original American Bandstand Dick Clark in Philidelphia....their sponsor was Wrigley's so every teenager in audience was chewing gum.

[@mndandy]

It is! I've got a white Bison just like it, with the scroll and all.... but would also love to have a menacing black counterpart.

[@petergrattan3509]

Nice synching job by the film editor.

[@tsartodd]

later that night, Bjork was conceived.

[@sergiokriznjak5800]

Genios!!!!!

[@dornoxius]

My dad played in bravo :D

[@tomgrooms4046]

Bravo Iceland...Cool rockin' Daddy! opening for the 65 misfits!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGGzYmV_Zd1ogrc

[@reggiekrager5411]

What's his name?

[@doctorcastille]

The support bands are probably local acts - listen to the heavy accent of the singer in the first band. My best guess anyway.

[@mariokars]

Awesome

[@slimshine953]

@pallivall This was from '65 which makes it 45 years now. I need a time machine!

[@VaniaValenzuelaVazquez]

Megustaria ver a dave davies comigo quiero abrazalo y estar con el teamo dave davies ❤❤❤❤

[@mndandy]

Check out the beautiful Burns Bison bass at 1:11 . That guy's a dead ringer for Runar of Thor's Hammer (who also played a Burns). I know it's not him, but maybe his kid brother?!

[@rnrscrapbook]

I thought I heard the word "tempo" in this video, so I thought maybe the group was called the Tempos. I see they were actually called Tempo. It sounds to me like the second group (who all look like they were 12 years old) is called "the Heretics." Was there a band called the Heretics in Iceland at that time?

[@AsswittChaos]

eu racho! muito bom

[@VaniaValenzuelaVazquez]

Megustaria estar con dave davies a un que sea joven ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Studmasterify]

The kinks song has been overdubbed over film. How do I know? Its exactly like the album version down to the piano backing which is not on stage

[@andriealinsangao613]

Yes, it happens all too often!

[@tarnsand440]

Dave would marry Lisbet from Sweden 2 yrs later in 18 April 1967. They had 4 sons together divorced in September 1990.

[@Thoracius]

the kinks footage is either lip synced or over-dubbed with crowd sounds added.

[@PlaturnProductions]

Tempo is from Keflavik.

[@halldorhannesson9132]

no from Reykjavík

[@dansm1422]

The Kinks didn't usually get this kind of reception, but then Iceland didn't get a lot of famous rock groups performing on their soil.

[@reggiekrager5411]

Dan Sm They usually didn't? Jusf check out their performances at Shindig and Hulabaloo, that exact same year ,and then.tell me the kinks weren't well received!

[@boxianparkk]

1:48 me estoy riendo feo perdom pero ese niño suena como un chanchito memeo es tan tierno aaaayy

[@worldsno1drwhofan]

Ha you'd think this was a beatles concert because of all the crazy girls lol. One good thing about the kinks is that the audience most of the time were fairly relaxed, meaning they were able to be better live performers than the beatles.

[@GodStarRevisited69]

cool footage, that keyboard player is hot! form Tempo! lol!!! cool shades!

[@bragibjornsson6681]

His name is Þorgeir Ástvaldsson

[@MickBokulich-gg1ro]

The Kinks rule

[@roundmann1]

First group looks like ? and The Mysterians

[@photonotavailable7936]

“96 Tears.”

[@jeff196330]

Both playing Beatles Songs

[@bertevans6601]

You really got me is mimed here, surely? It's too close to the record?

[@fjahnhogler]

Bert Evans I think the recording was added afterwards by Swedish television, since it really looks like they mix with the amps a lot!

[@tilesetter1953]

wildcatter63 It is exactly like the studio version, but there is no piano on the stage.

[@SwanseaTosh]

Plus Dave takes his hand off the guitar and the riff continues to play. Definitely a recording. :)

[@BigSky1]

These are the studio recordings matched up to the visuals. Probably because the sound was so appalling.

[@ferdinandthecrow]

Are you from Arbutus, Maryland?

[@jammin6816]

Omg, who’s the thumbsucker at 6:14? 🤭😂

[@Claytone-Records]

Ha! Needs a nap/not so impressed.

[@staypress]

Thought it was the kinks in france in 65

[@slimshine953]

@jenzeppelin If I happen to find one, you're welcome to come along on a trip back to the fabulous, golden 60s era with me. I must advise you though... I may not want to return, of course you could if you like, but I'm sure you feel the same. ;~}

[@lucadisalvo7056]

[@thebenefactor6744]

That vox is the king tiger of musical blitzkrieg. Sweden fell in two hours.

[@jamesmack3314]

As far as screaming chicks,I could handle a bunch of Swedish ones!!

[@jannafanta5707]

wherever it is thats a great crowd as opposed to the sleeping crowds in germany at the time

[@reggiekrager5411]

joanna fanta sleeping crowds? Just look at the Beatles'tour in Germany in 66! You could barely hear the beatles from the screams!

[@kiely]

yeah, it overdubbed somehow ... even with his back turned ya can see no one is even close to playing that (Jimmy Page?) lead.

[@jamesfitzgerald6636]

kiely .....dave did the solo!

[@xxcelr8rs]

Little 9 year old rocker kid wins for chewing gum and singing. Cool as Greg Lake in him prime.

[@leurawiva]

beatlemania??? no!!! kinkemania xDD

[@jks2]

[@BostonRocker51]
