The Kinks
The Kinks Live in Frankfurt Performing Lola
When The Kinks took the stage in Frankfurt on November 30, 1983, they were riding the wave from their late '80s revival, which had been sparked by their album 'State of Confusion' released in 1983. This album, featuring iconic tracks like 'Come Dancing,' showcased the band's blend of rock and pop elements and marked a significant return to form after years of fluctuating commercial success. The live recording of 'Lola' captures the essence of their energetic performances during this era, and it's a fan favorite that highlights Ray Davies' storytelling prowess. Interestingly, during this period, The Kinks were cementing their status as rock legends, even after facing a tumultuous history with their original lineup. The lively reception in Frankfurt reflects their enduring appeal and ability to connect with audiences, proving that their music transcended the challenges of time.
