Dead Links & Re-Posts

If you come across a dead link, please leave a comment under the post and we will do our best to repost it within 72 hours. Please be polite when you ask for a re-post - a little kindness goes a long way. Please limit your requests to 1 a week - lots of other folks are asking and I just can't get to them all if you overload me with requests. And please don't ask me to re-post every show by a particular artist. As said, I can handle requests for a show a week, but if you are asking me to re-post dozens of dead links, I simply won't be able to handle that. Thanks for understanding.

The Kinks - 1979-09-23 - Providence, RI (TV SBD)

While the Kinks originally came to prominence in the mid 1960s; around the time of "The British Invasion" led by The Beatles and The Stones, the band experienced a second wave of popularity in the late 1970s. The band's 1977 album Sleepwalker climbed to #21 on the Billboard chart in the US, with the title track and the tune Juke Box Music becoming staples on FM radio. Around the same time, new wave acts such as The Pretenders and The Jam recorded covers of Stop Your Sobbing and David Watts, bringing the Kink's music to a whole new audience. A cover by Van Halen of You Really Got Me also sparked renewed interest in the Kink's music. Then in 1979, The Kink's released the album Low Budget, which climbed to #11 on the Billboard charts. This TV soundboard recording captures them during that late decade revival, in Providence, on September 23, 1979, 45 years ago today.
