The Kinks: All Day And All Of The Night [1979]
from the classic One For The Road
I raided my mom's basement vinyl stash a few weekends ago and retrieved some of my old LPs, including this warhorse. I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is my favorite spoken intro to a live rock song ever, although when I was a little kid I thought Ray was saying "Rock fans will come, rock fans will go..." -- which isn't a very nice thing to be saying to an army of rock fans. Either way, the crowd reaction and the power chords kicking in are pure bliss. I had also forgotten the extent to which Dave channels Eddie on this solo. Good times!
recorded at The Barn, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, March 3, 1979

THat friggin rocks.
I have been a hardcore Kinks fan since the first time I heard this album,in about 1981. My friend bought the LP becuse his Dad had been a fan since about 1965, so like father like son. There was a couple years there where I listened to this album once, maybe twice, a day.
Hey anon -- I spinned this one a lot as a youth as well. Kinks at New Haven Vets on the "Come Dancing" tour was maybe the first rock concert I attended. Good times...
aw .......
i think i love you
