Here’s an excellent performance-documentary of The Kinks in concert at the Rainbow Theater in London, 1972. It was shot around the time of their classic album Muswell Hillbillies, and the performance footage was originally shown as part of the BBC’s In Concert series.

What makes this program especially wonderful is the way highlights form the concert have been inter-cut with documentary footage with interviews from the band, vox pops, celebrity fan / film and TV producer, the late Ned Sherrin, together with clips from The Virgin Soldiers, and Ray Davies wandering around the disappearing London haunts of his childhood. Tracks include:

“Till the End of the Day”

“Waterloo Sunset”

“Top of the Pops”

“The Money-go-Round”

“Sunny Afternoon”

“She’s Bought a Hat Like Princess Marina”

“Alcohol”

“Acute Schizophrenia Paranoid Blues”

“You Really Got Me”
