The Kinks

The live recording of 'Baby Face' by The Kinks was captured on March 3, 1972, during a memorable performance at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Just a few months later, in September 1972, they released the album 'Everybody's in Show-Biz,' which showcases the band's unique blend of rock and storytelling through their music. This particular performance is significant as it reflects the band's evolution during a transitional period; they were moving into a phase where they increasingly embraced theatricality in their shows. Interestingly, the album features a mix of studio tracks and live recordings, giving fans a taste of their vibrant stage presence. The Kinks were riding high on their popularity, and the energy seen in this performance at such an iconic venue adds to the unique charm of the era.
