Audience 8.3 - This recording has you right in the thick of things. Equally enjoying both the electric excitement of the Kinks and the amazing responses from the audience.  Quality is a little above average but the instruments are clear and not muddy. The vocals are very clear, which is important because Ray commands the show. This show has been written about, and not just for the incident involving Ray falling into the amps during Apeman. One to remember! The Kinks Philharmonic Hall, New York, NY March 30, 1971 Band line-up (personnel : May 1970 - November 1976) Ray Davies - lead vocals, rhythm guitar Dave Davies - lead guitar, backup vocals John Dalton - bass guitar, backup vocals Mick Avory - drums, percussion John Gosling - keyboards Total Time = 73:37 Set list 01 Intro 02 Till the End of the Day 03 Brainwashed 04 You're Looking Fine 05 Apeman 06 Waterloo Sunset 07 Sunny Afternoon 08 Give My Love To Rose 09 Get Back In Line 10 A Pub With No Beer 11 Lola 12 Louise -- tape flip -- 13 Big Sky 14 Milk Cow Blues 15 See My Friends 16 Powerman 17 One Night With You 18 You Are My Sunshine 19 You Really Got Me 20 All Day & All of the Night 21 Top of the Pops The Kinks play at Lincoln Center's prestigious Philharmonic Hall (later renamed Avery Fisher Hall). In contrast to the elegance of the hall, Ray Davies' spontaneous, campy, outrageous, sometimes disoriented performance elicits a huge crowd response. When he falls into a bank of amplifiers (brother Dave kindly steps aside when he sees Ray toppling), members of the audience leap on stage to finish the song "Apeman" for Ray. By all accounts it is a night to remember.

Audience 8.6 - A little age shows in this tape, but it’s nicely mid-rangey and kind of phat too, meaning it’s got some balls to it even though it may be a little compressed and aged. I would recommend this one though, because one key quality of this tape is that the two guitars are really nicely separated, almost a wide pan effect if you can believe it. Sounds pretty cool.

Audience 8.6 - This recording does not possess great dynamic range, but it is nice and clear and features some biting guitar and thankfully present vocals. It’s a good ’76 tape and worthy of the collection for sure.

Audience 8.5 - Interesting tape, it’s very clear concerning Mr. Jagger! I kind of like this kind of tape, because it’s a realistic sound, like probably what your own ears would have picked up had you been there. I really get a sense of the venue, and the mood of the day. The band sound really hyped, it feels they are playing with a sense of urgency and anger. The sound does sometimes slightly fade out but it comes right back and it is not very frequent. Overall it’s a really fun show to hear!
