I was lucky enough to be in my teens during the British Invasion.So many great,great,great,GREAT songs came from Britain.Lots of great stuff coming from the States as well.The 1960’s were,without a doubt,the *best* decade on record for music.
While most bands sounded best in studio.
The Kinks, “One for the Road” is by far the best live album ever produced.
Lola at around 12 minutes
But wait there is more.
“All day and all of the night” at around 19..
And
“You Really got me” at 1:03.
Best version ever !!!!!!!

They’re still touring, aren’t they?
Definitely wore out the grooves to that one back in High School.
The Kinks - Catch Me Now I’m Falling
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCR83LxGKkg
I remember, when you were down
And you needed a helping hand
I came to feed you
But now that I need you
You won’t give me a second glance
Now I’m calling all citizens from all over the world
This is Captain America calling
I bailed you out when you were down on your knees
So will you catch me now I’m falling
Help me now I’m calling you
Catch me now I’m falling
I’m in your hands, it’s up to you
Catch me now I’m falling
I remember when you were down
You would always come running to me
I never denied you and I would guide you
Through all of your difficulties
Now I’m calling all citizens from all over the world
This is Captain America calling
I bailed you out when you were down on your knees
So will you catch me now I’m falling
Help me now I’m calling you
Catch me now I’m falling
I’m in your hands, it’s up to you
Catch me now I’m falling
When you were broke you would come to me
And I would always pull you round
Now I call your office on the telephone
And your secretary tells me that she’s sorry,
But, you’ve gone out of town.
This is Captain America calling
This is Captain America calling
Help me now I’m calling you
Catch me now I’m falling
I’m in your hands, it’s up to you
Catch me now I’m falling
Catch me now I’m falling
Catch me now I’m falling
Catch me now I’m falling
Catch me now I’m falling
I stood by you through all of your depressions
And I lifted you when you were down
Now it’s your chance to do the same for me
I call your office and your secretary tells me
That you’ve gone out of town
This is Captain America calling
This is Captain America calling
Catch me now I’m falling
Catch me now I’m falling
I was the one who always bailed you out
Of your depressions and your difficulties
I never thought that you would let me down
But the next time you’re in trouble
Better not come running to me
Now I’m calling all citizens from all over the world
This is Captain America calling
I bailed you out when you were down on your knees
So will you catch me now I’m falling
Catch me now I’m falling
Catch me now I’m falling
Catch me now I’m falling
Catch me now I’m falling
Catch me now I’m falling
That and this?
Deep Purple-Made In Japan (1972)
Be careful. There are a number of imitations out there.
The real show has a riff in “Smoke on the water” that is wholly unique in their live show.

I saw them at the House of Blues in Los Angeles around 2000 if I recall correctly. They were still rocking it then.
