    5 out of 5 stars The Live Kinks.......2003-11-07

    I first heard this album when I purchased it in 1983. I had already taken into account the possibility that it could sound a little rough due to the recording equipment (live) in use at that time. However, nothing could have prepared me for the numerous delights contained in the grooves of this positively delightful LP.
    Among it's best features is the use of such a steady rocker as "Till the End of the Day" (originally the closer to side 1 of their "Kontroversy" album) for an opening song. It's alot of fun too, hearing Ray persuading the audience to sing a fair size piece of "Sunny Afternoon." And what a perfect match to have probably the coolest band in the world singing the theme song to one of the coolest TV shows of all time! Also fun to hear is the band tuning. You hear this alot throughout the album. Granted, it's not a treat for the ears when you listen to anybody tuning an instrument, but what's interesting (and you'll hear this in "Sunny Afternoon") is that it's almost as though Ray thought: "Hey, let's let the audience sing!" So he goes right into it while Pete and Dave are trying to tune.
    My personal favorite on this album though, has to be "I'm on an Island." This particular version has something more, at least to my ears, than does the studio version from "Kontroversy." Even though none of the band could hear themselves (no monitors), it's a great performance of the song, and I think it stands up quite well with their best work! I always appreciate hearing Quaife's deep bass notes on the chorus. It's really fun.
    And there it is in a nutshell. Some of the reasons why "The Live Kinks" is well deserving of a spot in anyone's collection. If you're a Kinks fan, you'll kick yourself in the drawers if you pass it up.

    5 out of 5 stars The best British Invasion live LP.......2003-03-29

    Forget the Stones 'Got Live...' with it's studio songs with live audience dubbed in. The Beatles, never really released a good live album from the Brit Invasion period. No, this is it.

    OK, don't look for beautiful slick production and perfect playing, this CD is a historical document that rocks! the screaming girls (drowing out the band sometimes), the frantic, if sometimes sloppy, playing just add to the energy that makes this great. The songs are some of the Kinks best, man I love this album!

    4 out of 5 stars Having a Rave Up with the Kinks.......2001-01-29

    This album catches the Kinks at their peak during their initial incarnation of the original prototype heavy, punk, garage band. Unlike the remixed "live" albums that were released by their peers...The Beatles, Rolling Stones, etc....where the crowd was toned down and the magic of the studio brings the music to the forefront, the Kinks mono version shows what a force to be reckoned with...that they were at the time. The sounds are real. The crowd chaos is there in full force. The Kinks' miscues, out of tune notes and incredibly sloppy but gut- wrenched rock and roll chords make you feel the experience of a live 60's gig. The sheer power of the opening chords of "You Really Got Me"....makes you wonder what other bands must have felt like when they had to compete with these guys. The ferocious medley of "Milk Cow Blues", "Tired of Waiting For You" and "Batman"....is creative, exciting and takes the teen angst that Nirvana thrived on in 1991, back 24 years to the originator's of that genre. The Kinks may not have been the most popular band to have come out of the british invasion...but they sure were the most exciting and their catalog, which spans over 30 years of music...lends evidence that they very well may be the best band of the era as well.

    4 out of 5 stars On With the Show.......2006-05-16

    I have to disagree with anyone who feels that this recording is bootleg quality because this album sounds a hell of a lot better than recordings, official or otherwise that are sourced from an audience recording. The issue is that live recordings were in their infancy at the time so naturally you are not going to get the same quality as a modern live concert. That said it is a fascinating recording. The more rocking numbers such as "You Really Got Me" come off better than the more introspective songs. The Kinks did put on a good live show but live they were not all that different from in the studio (unlike say the Who, who would turn songs into extended jams live). Live at Kelvin Hall was recorded as the Kinks were ending their pre-punk phase and entering their most interesting period, 1966-70 where they rightfully deserved the title of the English equivalent of Bob Dylan, rather than the insufferable Donovan. Obviously, one of the drawbacks of the recording is the audience of screaming fans who just won't let up. The Kinks at this point obviously tired of concert goers who were idol worshippers instead of actual fans (but didn't have the clout of the Beatles or the Stones to stop touring)decide to have some fun on "Sunny Afternoon" and ask the audience to sing along (which they do). Two years later, the Kinks would regain the right to tour in the U.S. again (which they had lost due to conflicts on the 1965 tour) and by then they would be a more sophisticated and "well respected" band but that's another story...

    4 out of 5 stars The Genre Of Screaming Girls And London 1960s Prior To Their About Face........2005-08-15

    This is a great collectors CD showcasing the great Kinks live at home in the outrageous 60's at thir heyday..Similiarly like the Stones,Got Live If You Want It CD,(in feel,not actual technical recording issues) these live documents are made for collectors and for ravers because the sound is usually average at best.When it comes to great sounding live cd's overdubs are a natural..
    It is nice to hear both mono and stereo versions of the CD and to know this is live..the book and photos are nice..like the remaining Pye re releases on their early catalogue you won't be dissapointed as to the quality and sound.
    The song selections are good and the era is the Face To Face period when the Kinks began experimenting with a bit of Indian Music,a touch less blues, more introspective sounds and lyrics, getting ready for their defining greatness to be found on such classic releases such as Something Else,We Are The Village Green, Arthur,Lola,Muswell Hillbillies etc. when the Kinks started to morph in earnest into the less angry more interior band they became.

    4 out of 5 stars Good show, but suffers from poor audio quality........2001-07-23

    A truly great show by the Kinks at the start of their career, and this release is the best you could own. The problem with it is not in the reissue. Castle has done it's best to make this listenable, and even includes both the mono and stereo versions of the album, which is great. The problem is that the original recording sounds almost like it's a bootleg recorded by someone in the audience. This is good in that it has a kind of raw feel to it that makes it seem like you're actually there, but for the most part, it's hard to listen to. The crowd is frequently louder than the band, and the overall sound is rather flat. I would reccommend this to any Kinks fan simply because it's all that is available of the Kinks performing live in this era of their career, but be warned - it's rough.
