The Kinks

In June 1982, The Kinks took the stage at the Knoxville Civic Coliseum, delivering a riveting performance that included their iconic track 'Celluloid Heroes.' This live recording came just after the release of their 1981 album, 'Misfits,' which showcased a more introspective side of the band, reflecting their evolution since the early days of raw rock 'n' roll. Interestingly, during this period, the Kinks were navigating their way through a changing music landscape, yet their ability to connect emotionally with the audience remained constant. Footage from the concert offers a glimpse into the energy of the band during this tumultuous yet creatively fertile time. The fact that some songs were only captured in audio due to technical issues adds a layer of intrigue for fans hoping to relive the electrifying atmosphere of the night.
