The Kinks

By the time The Kinks performed in Montreal on November 30, 1977, they had just released their album 'Sleepwalker' earlier that year. This album marked a significant comeback for the band, showcasing a fresh sound and a shift toward more polished rock and pop influences. It's interesting to note that 'Sleepwalker' was the first Kinks album to feature keyboardist John Gosling as a full-time member, adding a new layer to their sound. The live recording of 'Little Queenie,' mixed intriguingly with 'Live Life,' illustrates the band's ability to blend older rock influences with their evolving style. This performance captured their willingness to experiment, reflecting a band revitalized and hungry for creative exploration, even as they navigated the late '70s rock landscape.
