The Kinks - Live at Fillmore West 1969
This gem is one of  the few available shows from this time period, probably the most productive of  their career (coming on the heels of arguably their best albums, Village Green  Preservation Society and Arthur, both of which were complete failures in the  U.S.). This show was one of their first in the states after the ban barring them  from appearing in the U.S. was lifted (after almost 4 years!). The exact reason  for the ban by the American Federation of Musicians was never made quite clear  (even to this day), but Ray and the boys did not perform in the U.S from 1966  through most of 1969. Anyway, here in their appearance at the Fillmore West,  the band was in fine form, and they delivered a very eclectic set that scattered  some of their hits (Tired of Waiting, You Really Got me, Till the End of the  Day, Well-Respected Man) with numerous relatively obscure album tracks (Your  Looking Fine, Big Sky, Mr. Churchill Says, Brainwashed, etc), that were  virtually unknown in the U.S., and were not often performed in concert in  subsequent years. So enjoy this unique taste of '60's-era Kinks.
