In 1976, The Kinks left RCA records to join Arista. With some encouragement from their new label, the band changed artistic direction, relinquishing the theatrics of their previous albums to return to their rock roots. They eliminated the brass section ad back up singers, returning the group to a 5 piece rock band. The new stripped down line up released its first album, Sleepwalker, on February 12, 1977. The disc, which in addition to the title track featured such soon to be Kink's classics as Jukebox Music, Life Goes On, and Life on the Road, went to #21 on the Billboard charts, the band's first commercial success in almost 7 years. The band went on tour in support of the album, including this show from Santa Monica on February 18, 1977, 39 years ago today.
