Performances include "You Really Got Me", "'Til The End Of The Day", "Waterloo Sunset", "Days", "Celluloid Heroes", as well as Dave Davies hit single "Death Of A Clown".

"...Of all the British bands that broke through commercially in America who were part of the 'British Invasion' of the sixties, one band stood head and shoulders above all the others as being quintessentially English... the Kinks. Led by Ray Davies and his younger brother Dave Davies, the Kinks burst onto the music scene in 1964 with their ground breaking hit single 'You Really Got Me'. This was the band's third single and it reached number one in the UK singles chart and made the American top ten. Along with the Davies brothers the band was made up of bassist Pete Quaife and drummer Mick Avory. Originally, like many other aspiring band of the early sixties the Kinks were a rhythm and blues band. Once the band broke through with 'You Really Got Me' they were off and running and further hit singles followed with 'All Day And All Of The Night', 'Tired Of Waiting For You', 'Set Me Free' and 'A Well Respected Man', all of which were written by Ray Davies..."
