The Kinks
March 27,1971
Colden Center Auditorium, Queens College of City University of New York, Flushing NY
This show is notable because a student, Ben Rosenblatt, who introduced himself to Ray before the show, was invited to accompany the band on piano on two tracks - Mister Pleasant and Autumn Almanac - both rarely performed live.

This show was the 2nd date of The Kinks 5th US tour in just 18 months. According to Doug Hinman's Kinks Bible ('All Day and All of the Night: Day-by-day concerts, recordings and broadcasts 1961-1996') 'this short string of dates seems to be littered with more tales of outrageous shows and bizarre onstage antics than almost any other tour by The Kinks.' The early shows are more restrained though. according to Hinman, the reviewers of this show liked Ray's showmanship and his ability to get the audience to sing along, though he is almost too spontaneous and the band verges on sloppy in trying to follow him.

This is great. Somehow I never knew this existed before. Thanks for enlightening me!
I can't imagine the show in that moment, the feeling of be there and hear that music, it must been a excellent experience.
It was the best show from the kinks, with this material completed my whole collection really
