The Kinks - Rainbow Theatre 1977 Xmas Concert FM Broadcast FLAC

The Kinks live Rainbow Theatre, London 1977.12.24
Very Good quality, from FM Broadcast (except tracks 18, 19 from soundboard)

Recorded at the very end of the band's 1977 Sleepwalker tour on Christmas Eve, 
this is one of the most incredible live Kinks recordings ever captured. After 
being on the road for nearly a solid year, the band was shit-hot, and that is 
reflected here in a set that was unusually tight for a band that made a career 
out of being often drunk on stage. Not only did the band sound great, Ray Davies picked one of the best and most encompassing set lists the band ever offered its fans.

The show covered periods in the legendary rockin' band's career from its early 
British Invasion hits ("You Really Got Me," All The Day And All The Night"), to 
its reflective middle period (where Davies wrote some of his best material 
including "Lola," "Get Back In Line," "Celluloid Heroes," and the poignant ballad, "Waterloo Sunset"), and newer material from Sleepwalker when the band signed with Clive Davis and Arista Records and returned to making radio friendly rock singles. But aside from the hits, there are some real gems in this recording, including "Slum Kids," a great song from the Preservation Act 1, that was never recorded for the record.
