A fantastic band back then, little before my time. I did see Ray Davies live in 2012 or so. His ego was way too big for the 1,400 auditorium, however it was a good show. He belted out the songs like he was teenager.
I have heard stories from Kinks fans, from when I saw Kast Off Kinks. I was told numerous times at the bar, that Ray's voice is now shot and it's almost like a whisper.
The biggest rip off, I was told this evening is that Paul Young - Behind The Lens tour. It's no more than a expensive sales pitch for his book, with a mundane chat thrown in.
