The Kinks

In March 1972, The Kinks delivered a remarkable performance of "Brainwashed" at Carnegie Hall, pulling from their then-recently released album, "Everybody's in Show-Biz." This live recording captures a unique period for the band, as they transitioned into a more theatrical sound, blending rock with elements of vaudeville. Released earlier in the same year, the album showcased the band's diverse musical landscape, featuring studio tracks alongside live recordings. Interestingly, this performance included contributions from notable musicians, like Mike Cotton on trumpet and Davy Jones on baritone sax, adding depth to their sound. The Kinks were in a creative revival during this phase, proving their adaptability in the ever-evolving music scene of the early '70s.
