The Kinks - Catch Me Now I'm Falling (from One For The Road)

[@barbaragottlock230]

One of the most enduring groups in history. Probably only the Stones had a longer concert career. Kinks packed it in after'95 but they were playing so tightly that I was shocked when they called it quits. Saw them with my hubby dozens of times.

Best live album period.

[@highvolts6620]

I’ve always thought so. Kicks ass

[@slashshat8035]

Definitely a desert island disc...

My personal favorite is Cheap Trick at Budokan but this is awesome too

Dave Davies on that Gibson 😍😍 epic rock

[@thomasaquinas157]

This live album came out in 1980. This song came out in 1979 during the second Arab oil embargo. There were gas lines. Stagflation. 20% mortgages. Strikes every month. The Iranian hostage crisis. Everyone was struggling. I love the lyrics to this song. It captured the frustration we were all feeling. Captain America was on His knees...

We're going through much the same under Biden.

[@melnewdem9929]

So glad I got to see them in the 80 & 90….such great live shows

[@ExPatinUK]

Saw them in Hollywood in 87

[@rockribbedrushy7705]

Saw them in Jersey in Jan Dead of winter, men at work opened. Great show.

[@chicanobear13]

Saw them with Scandal opening..👍

[@TheMadArab138]

This is my favorite era of the Kinks, late 70’s, early to mid 80’s. Was too young to see them live, one of the things I’ll never check off the bucket list.

[@ZoamChomsky]

Ray and Dave are the Greatest! 10^10

[@tedcabana]

The story of the Kink's first tour in America, the time they got kicked out of the country, would make the greatest rock band movie ever.

[@juanitadaleslusher9628]

Ooooo, I want to look that up. Thanks!

I saw the kinks in the early. 1980s in buffalo ny. They had that memorial auditorium absolutely rocking. I've always loved their music. Nobody there was expecting that much energy.one one of the best concerts I've ever seen

[@revmansolution]

Supertramp opened for them. It was my 1st concert and it was awesome.

This is Captain America Calling !! ( Calling !!) 2020 !!

[@logarcon9046]

Wow! What a Great Performance!.💞 I'm in Love with Dave. I Love him so much.❤️

[@DonnaLang42rockglobally]

My brother inadvertently introduced me to this song when he and his friends were jamming out to it. It's still one I'll turn up when it starts on my playlist.

[@jimnasium4935]

The thing that's always amazed about this band isn't the music, that speaks for itself. It's the fact that in just about every interview I've seen, including members of the rolling stones and the Beatles, when asked who influenced them, there's one name you always hear, The Kinks. To be honest I was a little surprised when Paul McCartney mentioned them as an influence for the beatles. This has always been one of my favorite kinks song. Wish I had seen them in concert.

[@JasonVanDoornOfficial]

My favorite Kinks song ❤️

[@shaft9000]

The Kinks wrote and recorded well over 100 great tunes ... this one is somewhere in the top fifty 🥴

[@Lemanzytoe]

nice live show. great energy exuding from The Kinks.

[@peterleeson1750]

Great to see this footage as i never bought the vhs tape at the time, thought i bought the album. It really brings home the intensity of the songs and Ray's theatrics.

[@jeffreysnow2640]

That sure does sound like the guitar riff from " Jumpin' Jack Flash "

[@michaelpickern2109]

Catch me now🎉

[@Damaraja]

So good 🤙

[@αλεξανδροςραπτης-λ5ζ]

there seems to be some jumping jack flash in this song

[@Berzerker_666]

Some?

Nice. I actually saw this tour may '80

[@denniswood7503]

remember When you were down And you needed a helping hand I came to feed you But now that I need you You won't give me a second glance Now I'm calling on citizens from all over the world This is Captain America calling I bailed you out when you were down on your knees So will you catch me now I'm falling Help me now I'm calling you Catch me now I'm falling I'm in your hands, it's up to you Catch me now, I'm falling I remember When you were down You would always come running to me I never denied you And I would guide you through all of your difficulties Now I'm calling on citizens from all over the world This is Captain America calling I built you up when you were down on your knees So will you catch me now I'm falling Help me now I'm calling you Catch me now I'm falling I'm in your hands, it's up to you Catch me now, I'm falling When you were broke, you would come to me And I would always pull you around Now I call your office on the telephone And your secretary tells me that she's sorry, but you've gone out of town This is Captain America calling This is Captain America calling Help me now I'm calling you Catch me now I'm falling I'm in your hands, it's up to you Catch me now, I'm falling Catch me now, I'm falling 4x I stood by you through all of your depressions And I lifted you when you were down Now it's your chance to do the same for me I call you your office and your secretary tells me that you've gone out of town This is Captain America calling This is Captain America calling Catch me now, I'm falling 4x I was the one who always built you up Through all your depressions and your difficulties I never thought that you would let me down But the next time you're in trouble, baby Do not come running to me Now I'm calling all citizens from all over the world This is Captain America calling I built you up when you were down on your knees So will you catch me now I'm falling Catch me now, I'm falling

[@fazlurbaksh5969]

Ok Let's say Ray Davies just borrowed the riff from jumping jack flash and used it for catch me now I'm falling. Musicians do this type of stuff all the time. No big deal especially since rock and roll is known for its repetitiousness and simplicity. Anyway great song and Ray Davies ranks as one of the best rock frontmen. I've seen the Kinks perform live and I enjoyed every song in their set. Long lives the Kinks.

[@jamesian-allen8725]

There is nothing original in rock N roll, everyone rips everyone off, me included…but I do craft some damn catchy tunes. You’re welcome. 🙂🎶🎤🙂

[@KOSMICKEN09]

I'd call it more of a homage

[@pinba11wizzard]

well Pete Townshend kinda nicks kinks riff for can't explain (and Clash nicks same riff decade later)

[@gophils234]

Kinks did it much better

[@bugbomb8048]

Wait...... I seen an interview with The Rolling Stones where Keith Richards said “ I came up with the riff for JJF after banging my head waking up from a nap” he was listening to the Kinks somewhere before or after that fall and stole that riff

[@jimswainston]

Lucky he had a time machine

[@dyermaker86]

JJF is from 1969. The Kinks song is from the 80's...

[@mollyhall2954]

This song "Catch Me Now I'm Falling" says shame on you countries that America helped in the past for not helping America now--awesome for The Kinks to say, when America banned them for 4 years for bad behavior at the height of the "British Invasion." It's strange that Ray Davies would use JJFlash, because he's written so many songs, and everybody knows he didn't Need a RS song. He must have had a reason. The song JJFlash is about having a bad time and getting out of it...

[@Pwrcritter]

Ray is a little too gleeful in singing an anti-American tune

[@lucyfoster4082]

It’s not anti American. Captain America is saying it helped Britain in its time of need during WW2; now (late 70’s) it could use a little TLC itself.
