The Kinks - 1972-11-09 - Binghamton, NY (SBD)

The Kinks 1972 - Same Tour, Different Show Double Play - #1: In August 1972, The Kinks released the double album Everybody's in Show-Biz, which featured 1 disc of studio music and 1 disc recorded live at Carnegie Hall in New York earlier that year. The album features a change in Ray Davies' songwriting style toward more theatrical, campy and vaudevillian work, as evidenced by the rock-opera concept albums that followed it. The band released Celluloid Heroes as a single, and while it failed to chart, it became a favorite of FM radio stations across the US. The album also marks Davies' first explorations of the trials of rock-star life and the monotony of touring. Given that theme, its ironic that the 2nd disc featured a live show, and maybe even more ironic that the band went on tour in the fall in support of the disc. This soundboard recording captures The Kinks in Binghamton on November 9, 1972, a half century ago today. Download this one, then come back on November 17 tomorrow for part 2 of this Same Tour, Different Show Double Play.
