The legendary frontman of the Kinks, Ray Davies performed at The Music Hall in Toronto last night. Davies is on a tour with only seven dates in North America to promote his new album “Working Man’s Cafe” and Torontonians were in for quite a treat.
Spoiler Alert! Don’t read the next few lines if you’re lucky enough to be seeing Ray on this tour and want to be surprised.
Davies did songs off the new album which is amazing by the way, he definitely pleased the crowd with his energy while rocking to the Kinks classics such as: I’m not like everybody else, Where Have All The Good Times Gone, Dead End Street, Sunny Afternoon, 20th Century Man, Tired Of Waiting For You, Come Dancing, All Day And All Of The Night, Dedicated Follower Of Fashion, Lola, You Really Got Me, and Low Budget. Sadly, he didn’t do Waterloo Sunset, but what he gave us was very much appreciated by the audience and especially myself.
Ray’s energy and smile throughout the show was infectious. No one would ever guess this rocker is 63 years old! The two-hour show including a 15 minute intermission was absolutely incredible. I was able to catch Ray’s show in Toronto at Massey Hall in 2006 and while that was an amazing one, he seems to be getting better every time! His show left me wanting more and I am so wishing I could see another. Ray, Toronto loves you and so do I!
