Ray Davies - 2008 Tour Dates, new album, Kinks reunion

jeez...with verve and ray davies, gonna be an expensive sat.

Ray Davies? Yawn. Waterloo Sunset? Come on.

$99? Phew - good thing they kept it below $100.

Glad I got to see the Kinks back in '79.

Wow, if the Kinks put you to sleep, what the hell keeps you awake? I'm sure whatever bands you listen to were heavily influenced by the talents of Ray Davies, but you were probably sleeping so didn't notice. It's a shame.

Anonymous 1:48, You're entitled to your opinion - your horrible, horrible opinion.

Ray better be donning that red Father Christmas outfit - white beard, black boots n'all - if he's hoping to coax $99 outta my purse.

The Who, The Beatles, The Stones, The Kinks

what else needs to be said.

Led Zeppelin, Anon. 9:11.

Why is this same show less than half the price in Boston?

fuck this. fucking hundred dollars for a show of songs
from an album with CAFE in the fucking title??? fucking
loony tunes.

Ray Davies puts on a great show, but $99 is definitely steep. Folks in San Fransisco and Boston are being charged a good $50-60 less for the shows there, which seems a tad unfair and makes me think that maybe the Beacon Theatre is squarely to blame for the steep prices.

How come Tasmania gets Ray Davies but not Adelaide, South Australia.

I just saw Ray Davies and to see a music legend still kicking ass with some of the very best tunes ever written is worth far more than $99.

As for the twat that can only say f****** because he doesnt like the word "cafe" being in the title - grow up!

I'm 41 and spending $109 per ticket in chicago and taking my 19 year old son. An f-in legend and will proudly sing along with waterloo sunset.

the kinks and ray davies are indeed legends and anyone bored by their music hasn't taken the time to listen and probably has the attention span of a sand flea.

Actually, one great thing about Ray is that he wrote a nice handful of tunes for the sand fleas, too.

I saw the show in Los Angeles ..Thank you very much Mr Davies..It was an amazing show !!! I live in Hollywood and " Celluloid Heroes " hit me hard. When I was young I used to listen to that song and dream one day I would live in Hollywood were all my heroes and villians lived ... It just brought me back to a place I cherish !! Thank you very, very much !!! I recommend everyone see his show..True talent and vision are rare these days. And both have never left Mr Davies !!
In appreciation
Steve Nelson
Please, Please come back again !!!

thanks!

I saw Ray Davies at the Beacon last week and
thought the show was GREAT! He is one of the most
talented,original songwriters of ANY generation.
Those in doubt need only listen to "Some Mother's Son","Celluloid Heroes" or "God's Children".I
hope for a Kinks reunion in my lifetime.

Hey, when is the next tour? Anything Stateside in the rest of 2008 or early 2009? The Kinks and Ray Davies' songs make me smile. I was a sociology major back in the day and I wish I had used some of their songs in a paper!

Living in Muswell Hill in the sixties was a riot - Oh for a Blimby burger up at the roundabout. For those who have badmouthed Ray & the Kinks. Open your ears and listen to the lyrics you twits. Ray Davies is truly a legend in his own time. Well time to go catch a couple of sets, 5 - 7 foot faces.
Aloha-mgm

The last time I saw the Kinks was here in Rochester New York I think in 1979 - I was just listening to LOW Budget - I loved the album back then...it fits perfect now with what is going on in the world...seems like it was written for now 2009.

Anyhow - please go on tour...would love to see you.

The Kinks were the working class rock group of the British Invasion from the 60’s and Ray Davies was the most socially conscious of all the composers. The Kinks were not a cutesy group and their chords were not for the faint of heart. Ray composed some of the most melodic lyrics in all of rock along with some of the most gritty lyrics. If you truly listen to them, you will realize how many subsequent groups sounded like them and wrote like them. They were even recognized as rock’s first punk rock band for some of their efforts. Their major flaw was their performances were sloppy in their early years and Ray and younger brother Dave were at odds too much of the time. To a purist, Ray Davies is still considered not only one of the best all-time composers, but the possessor of one of the most versatile voices in rock history. LONG LIVE THE KINKS!!!!!

Various guys have to solve different difficulties such as global warming. All those problems seem to be difficult to manage with. However, if you have got academic papers writing complications, you should have nothing to bother about. You just can buy essay and cope with your troubles.
