They certainly did become more British, which helped set them apart from other groups. I have to wonder if they would've done The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society or Arthur if they had been a success here! Cool that you got to see Alan Price! Among all the things I love about O Lucky Man, the music is one of them!<br /><br />Sarah, I'm glad you liked it!Terence Towles Canotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397088843628331615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210602.post-51264382941066709922009-10-11T12:20:58.672-05:002009-10-11T12:20:58.672-05:00LOVELOVELOVELOVE etc.

The...Loved the Kinks, especially their early stuff. They were banned from touring the US because of a drugs charge, it helped them become more of a British band and their songwriting reflected that, Waterloo Sunset for example is about watching the sun go down near Waterloo station in London.<br /><br />Did you notice Jeff Beck playing lead guitar with the Yardbirds, he replaced Eric Clapton, Eric thought they weren't bluesy enough. Jeff is still a great guitarist as old geezer.<br /><br />I always had a soft spot for the Animals, Eric Burden had a good career with War, the giant bass player Chas Chandler saw Jimi Hendrix in New York and invited him to come to the UK, the rest is history. The keyboard player was Alan Price, I saw him with Georgie Fame, had a few hits together. He wrote the score for "O Lucky Man" and was nominated for a Golden Globe.Holte Enderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10356437917387847542noreply@blogger.com
