The Kinks Live at Felt Forum Performing Picture Book and People Take Pictures of Each Other
On November 16, 1972, The Kinks delivered an electric performance at the Felt Forum in New York City, a pivotal time in their career. Just before this live recording, they had released the album 'Everybody's in Show-Biz' earlier that same year, which exhibited a mix of studio and live tracks showcasing their narrative songwriting and musical evolution. Interestingly, this album was a concept piece that offered a peek into the band's life on tour, blending both personal and fictional stories. 'Picture Book' and 'People Take Pictures of Each Other,' performed in this live setting, highlight their knack for poignant storytelling and a sense of nostalgia that resonates deeply with fans. At this time, the band was also navigating the complexities of fame, which only added layers to their music and performances, making moments like this even more significant.
