The Kinks - live in concert 1973 (DVDrip)

The Kinks first gained prominence in 1964 with the hit single "You Really Got Me", written by Ray Davies (it was their 3rd single). The band's name came from their "kinky" dress sense of leather capes and boots worn on stage.[2] The group's original line-up consisted of Ray Davies on lead vocals/rhythm guitar/keyboards, Dave Davies on lead guitar/vocals, Pete Quaife on backing vocals/bass guitar, and Mick Avory on drums and percussion. Following Quaife's departure in 1969, the band centered around the three remaining original members and frequently changed bassists and keyboardists, until 1984, when friction between Dave Davies and Mick Avory resulted into the latter's departure, leaving only the Davies brothers from the original line-up. The band soldiered on for another decade but after a couple unsuccesful records they called it quits in the mid-90s. The relationship between the Davies brothers seem to have completely deteriorated around this time, and both have since embarked on successful solo careers. Rumours of a Kinks reunion are persistent but still vague.
