You Really Got Me - The Kinks | The Midnight Special

[@celio777]

60's in the 70's. Very cool. Thanks, Davies Brothers.

[@GuitarAnthony]

What a great cover of the Van Halen song! (Don't get mad. It's Ray Davies own joke!)

[@DestinyFilmWorks]

They also covered Van Halen's Where Have All The Good Times Gone..

[@Waterschei]

Préhistorique va historique

[@c5jp904]

Which was a cover of the Mott instrumental.😉

[@georgestevens1502]

I also like Dave Davies joke that the only time Ray was really happy was the two years before Dave was born!

[@KittyGrizGriz]

@@georgestevens1502 Haha! I’d never heard this before, thanks for the laugh. Sibling rivalry IS a thing. My youngest older brother was very jealous when I came along as an oopsie baby, 3 1/2 years after him. My dad had a vasectomy before I was conceived but didn’t do the follow up. Typical. My mom went to the doctor feeling sick, he said it’s because you’re pregnant. And then there were four kids, me, the baby girl.

[@EdTheFed77]

This was a tame performance. I saw them many times in the 70s and 80s and nobody rocked better than the Kinks. Nobody.

[@BrianKay-i9m]

Music of my youth. So glad I grew up in this era.

[@camerondodge2070]

Man, I really wish there was more footage of the Kinks from their theatrical era. It's just so fascinating.

[@SThompsonRAMM_1203]

When I heard this song, when I was young, I thought it was so ahead of its time, and, like you said, it was 10 years old by this time, and still seemed so fresh. It still does!

They really had their own sound. THE KINKS FOREVER!

[@doneidson]

One of my favorite songs by them.

[@jimvick420]

This is one of the first songs I ever learned to play as a teenager. What a stupendous remix. What a treat! Thank you!

[@stevekrupey3611]

I love that Dave still played it relatively clean and didn't overdrive it.

[@williamj.sheehan2001]

I agree, Steve. He wasn't what you'd call a "shredder", but neither was George Harrison, for instance. Both knew how to come up with cool, catchy riffs, and play their parts to fit the song, rather than showboating.

[@Floridafisherman5000]

I have a bunch of Kinks albums on vinyl.....yes, showing my age..... My favorite album from them is called Low Budget from the 1970s. I still play the hell out of it. If you've never heard it, might I suggest you listen to it!!!! It is a very raw not over produced album with lots of cool distorted guitar tracks and even some cool disco sounds and beats, which was that time and era of music. Some of the songs on that album were hits on the radio back then!!! A great album and a great time for music in the 1970s!!!😊

[@luisfernandomunoz6315]

I like the original slower version from the sixties a lot more.

[@M_Lev___]

[@drivesideways6550]

I saw them in the early 80's, 82 ish, I was like 13. I went with a couple buddies to Madison Square Garden in New York. We were Jersey boys, think about that for a moment, we went alone all around the same age. We had good seats on the floor in front of the stage. I remember thinking, man these guys are old. Don't get me wrong they were great...I was 13. I remember being on the floor in front of the stage and there was a middle-aged Jewish guy wearing a suit and a Yamika standing up with his arms around 2 beautiful girls one on each side smoking a joint. It didn't get any weirder than that for me as a kid. Pot was something us kids smoked and tried to hide from our parents. 😂
