I saw The Kinks in the early 70s at Doncaster Top Rank He sang this and I remember him body surfing with a bottle of Newcastle Brown in his hand. One of the best bands I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen a lot! This song always stuck in my mind.

I saw him sing this, balance on his head open cans of beer & chuck open cans of Colt 45 Malt liquor(?) into the audience at Chicago Auditorium in the early 70's. Good times w/my 1st wife. Pic on the cover of "Muswell Hillbilliies" is a classic.
Same here in Boston. Except he sprayed shook them up and was spraying the front rows. :) Great show though. Unlike the Beatles and Stones they pretty much stayed true to their British roots.
Saw the Kinks at John Carroll University in the mid 70s . They did this one in much the same fashion. Still one of the best shows I've ever seen. Was dating the woman who would become wife number 1.
It must have been late July then, when I saw them on that tour, in Latham , NY. I know it was very close to the end of the tour. I'd love to figure it out.. Can't come up with it on Google.
There were 9 more shows on the tour after Latham, the last being on August 1 in Westbury, NY. I missed the Starlight show, but saw them many times at the Palace in Albany, Proctors in Schenectady, SPAC in Saratoga and the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie.
