Love the raw guitar in this live version.

Crowd noise and people singing along? How dare they! Shhhhh! Everybody shush! There is a rock concert going on here!

One of the few Kinks songs I can stand.

Very appropriate for a 96 degree sunny summer afternoon in New England!

In fact, I don't ever get the point of playing recorded live versions of songs. They always sound awful, you have to deal with listening to the stupid crowd sing and make noise (and who the hell wants to hear a recording of a bunch of drunk fans singing along?), and the point of being at a live concert is totally lost unless you're actually there anyway. Like I said, don't get the point.
 
Hmmmm... The worst example I ever heard was Judy Blue-eyes by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. I never understood why nobody complained.

Great song, but these singalongs make me cringe. They're fun to be a part of, but not for playing here. I vote for the studio version every time. This is a 4 or 5 for me.

My god. I literally reached for my 2007 tax folder to begin working on my taxes at the EXACT moment this song came on. Weird and depressing.

Couldn't agree more - Ray Davies never got the credit he deserved. Was crowded out by Lennon/McCartney and Jagger/Richards but undoubtedly his talent is equal to theirs.

Yeah! Kinks! I'm just starting to build my collection of their work..... Band was terribly underrated in the U.S IMHO.

Have to agree on the comments about the sing-along aspect of this cut. Such a clever band, though.

Prefer the recording of professionals over one of reluctant audience participation.

The entire 'To the Bone' double cd is worthwhile for fans of The Kinks, nice accoustic versions of many of their best songs. The problem with most live albums of The Kinks is when Ray Davies urges audience participation on notable songs. I'm sure its fun for an audience at the concert, but should definitely be left off the live recording releases. Has always been a flaw in the live material IMO.

Hmm, so what exactly constitutes "musically useful?" Methinks if someone likes it, it's "musically useful." So this one qualifies bigtime. In my opinion.


I'll second that; this book I've been reading sums it up well.

"For music is an intellectual or a sensual pleasure, according to the temperament of him who hears it.

"The mistake of most people is, to suppose that it is by the ear they communicate with music, and therefore that they are purely passive to its effects. But this is not so; it is by the reaction of the mind upon the notices of the ear (the matter coming by the senses, the form from the mind) that the pleasure is constructed; and therefore it is that people of equally good ear differ so much in this point from one another. Now, opium,"

I agree, but I like the song alot so I was kind of overlooking the quality of this version.

Thanks for playing the Kinks! I usually prefer the original versions but it's fun to hear the occasional live cut. -Got to see them twice in concert (Vienna, Austria '80 and Champaign, IL, '81 or '82). Very fun and energetic band live, and the songs are so good!

more live versions please !

Please, no. This is a classic example of why the studio version is preferable. I'd much rather hear the Kinks than hear the crowd. I'm sure this was lots of fun for the audience at the time, but it's not so fun to listen to years later in my office.
