Ray Davies - 2008 Tour Dates (Hammerstein Ballroom)
"Fans would like The Kinks, who split in the early Nineties, to re-form and Davies might it it was "done right" but remains resistant to trotting out the old numbers. "I know the other original members would like to do it. But I always have to have something new." Yet in one significant way, he remains rooted in the past. While all his extended family have moved away, he still lives in Muswell Hill within streets of where he was raised. "Of the people who do what I do, I'm one of the few who live exactly where I grew up. I haven't moved to LA like Rod Stewart who grew up in Highgate," he says." [Louise Jury]Ray Davies has some shows scheduled. Tickets are on sale for December performances at Hammerstein Ballroom and the Paramount Theater in Asbury Park. All dates below...

Ray Davies and The Kinks are just as important as The Who, The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd.
Waterloo Sunset!

One of the best musicians alive today. A brilliant performer and genius songwriter.
Too bad the concert tickets make him out of reach of nearly everyone my age (24) unless you have a trust fund.

The Village Green Preservation Society is one of the best albums to come out of the 1960s and probably any decade since.

Damon Albarn wishes he was Ray Davies, hell he isn't even Dave Davies.

You think he will play 'Lola'? I'm more of a 'I'm Not Like Anybody Else' kinda guy.

Davies' best song. Animal Farm.
This world is big and wild and half insane
Take me where real animals are playing
Just a dirty old shack
Where the hound dogs bark
That we called our home
I want to be back there
Among the cats and dogs
And the pigs and the goats
On animal farm
My animal home
On animal farm
My animal home
While I lay my head upon my pillow
Little girl, come play beneath my window
Though shes far from home
She is free from harm
And she need not fear
She is by my side
And the sky is wide
So let the sun shine bright
On animal farm
My animal home
On animal farm
My animal home
Girl, its a hard, hard world, if it gets you down
Dreams often fade and die in a bad, bad world
Ill take you where real animals are playing
And people are real people not just playing
Its a quiet, quiet life
By a dirty old shack
That we called our home
I want to be back there
Among the cats and dogs
And the pigs and the goats
On animal farm
My animal home
On animal farm
My animal home
On animal farm

If he plays Lola I can officially check off the Hear Lola Played Live by Ray Davies box on my list of 500 things to do before I die.
I will be that much closer to having conquered the odds and that much closer to having reached Nirvana

The Kinks are the original Oasis. Two waring brothers making GREAT music. Hats off to Ray and his brother Dave.

Saw Ray and his band at The Beacon last June and it was spectacular. No less than five encores. They put the lights up and he kept going.
Did a bunch of his solo stuff and a ton of Kinks.
Knew it was going to be cool when he made his opening band (a poor Janis wannabe) quit after two and half songs and came out a half hour before he was suppose too to quell the masses and didn't quit for two hours plus.
An old school rocker putting on an old school show.
Don't miss him.

Is it true that Brooklyn based Locksley will be opening for Ray Davies and also be his back up band for part of his set?

when is Ray Davies or the Kinks doing a few dates in England (and the North)...... I saw them in mid 1970's in Newcastle City Hall and could never understand why the Kinks were never acclaimed as much as the Stones.... the Kinks did many many great songs but the Stones only about 6...... if I was off to see Kinks tonight I would be as excited as a child about xmas
