The Kinks

In the early '80s, The Kinks were on a remarkable journey, and by the time they recorded 'One More For The Road' in Tokyo on February 27, 1982, they had just released the album 'Give the People What They Want.' This album, which came out in 1981, marked a pivotal moment in their career, showing their resilience amid changing musical landscapes. The band's live performances during this period were infused with renewed energy, reflecting their vibrant stage presence and commitment to their craft. Fun fact: 'Give the People What They Want' was their first album released after being reinstated on their original label, and it included hits that embraced both reflection and the spirit of their classic rock roots. This performance, captured in the Nippon Seinenkan, was more than just a gig; it represented The Kinks reclaiming their place in the rock pantheon.
