Dave Davies has had a very up and down life over the last decade dealing with illness and feuds with his brother and fellow bandmember in the Kinks, Ray Davies.
Dave played his first show in the U.K. in thirteen years on Friday at the Barbican Hall in London with a set of mainly Kinks material. Twelve (13 if you count Death of a Clown which was both a Kinks and solo song) of the 19 songs in the set came from the British band’s legacy while he added a smattering of songs from his own solo career including three singles from the late-60’s, over a decade before he would release his first solo album.
