The Kinks - (Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman (from One For The Road) 

One For The Road is easily one of the very best live albums in all of Rock & Roll

The drumming in this song is spectacular

One of the most underrated and appreciated bands.

This song is an interesting moment in rock history. You can really hear classic rock merging with disco, punk, and setting the groundwork for new wave all-in-one 6 minutes song.

This live version is even better than the studio version freaking performance rocked

Low Budget tour yielded One for the Road, one of the best Live albums ever. It belongs alonside classic's like Deep Purple Made in Japan, Who Live at Leeds, first 2 Rush live LPs, Frampton Comes Alive, (insert your favorites here)!

the Beatles wish they were this good

I went to a Kinks concert in Atlanta, Ga. - at the Fox Theatre with an ex-US Army Airborne Ranger battle buddy, we were tripping on acid and found a half-buried Japanese Zero a block or two away from the Fox. Trippiest night of my life!

Thank you Mom for buying me tickets for Christmas to see these guys back in the day. The Kinks were my 1st concert ever. She's not here anymore but she knows that it meant a lot to me. They rock!!!! Take care and stay safe everyone 😷💚🦅🏈

Anti-establishment Rock, The Kinks were leaders in that field.....deep lyrics, great music.....

Absolutely most underrated ever. But they have a loyal fan base. God save the Kinks!

This song is archetypal medicine for the doldrums. It has the beat, the guitar licks, the self-reflective social commentary lyrics, everything.

Great, high energy tour!

I remember this album... one of the greatest rock live albums

Man...the most underrated band ever. Excellent songs and they can rip 'em all live.

The most under rated band of all time.............................Peace.

I’m 77 and still rockin to this song! Saw them in the early 80s at the Santa Barbara Bowl GREAT SHOW We were all wasted!!! 😂☮✌🏻

Fun fact: Dave and Ray have been known to get into fights on stage on occasion. I don't know if there's any RU-vid footage to back this up but as someone who's followed them since 1980 I know I've heard a few reports here and there. At the end of Dave's guitar solo Ray appears to walk over to him as if to say, 'That was a pretty long solo, don't you think.' Dave glares back as if to say, 'Go ahead. Start anytime.' Then Ray walks away laughing as if to say, 'Forget it. It's not worth it.' Those two had a real love/hate relationship between them.

This man is brilliant musician and poet/lyricist❤. He’s flying

Ray is a kick ass front man.

Good tune. Brings back memories too.

Greatest under rated band of all time.

I am almost done with Dave Davies' excellent autobiography "Kink" right now and it has given me a new appreciation for this band. They can't be under rated when they were one of the early Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees but in my opinion they were more consistant than The Stones or The Who or Pink Floyd. They put out some seriously great music in the late 70s and early 80s

Love the British accent, "Shooper Man".

This is a great version of an underrated Kinks classic. I love Dave's performance particularly. Brilliant!

Great song its just Super 🙂👍

Outrageously underrated band. Saw them 15-20 times. Never disappointed except once when they didn't show up for a gig in Poughkeepsie, NY!

These guys were the greatest live band in the day! Between the Hofstra University playhouse and the Nassau coliseum I must have seen them half a dozen times when I was a kid........... Long live the kinks!

I saw them live 3 times in Houston and once in Germany. Had all of their albums and special DJ only albums. High energy concerts.

For those who remember this song on "the dial" when it came out.... a fist bump to your coolness.

I saw the Kinks life at the Orpheum in Memphis, TN in about 1979. Then a couple years later after I moved to Atlanta. My young Son was with me he was maybe 6 or 7 the first time. The second time he was 8 years old. It was the Atlanta Civic Center. A great show. This song I remember so well. I still have the One for tge Road LP. My Son died with my 1st wife in a car accident in March of 84' the week before his 9th birthday

I am listening to this song now and will be listening to the Kinks until further notice. You can not listen to only one song by them, that would be ludicrous!

Future generations will have missed out on "The Kinks"!!!!

los vi en el rockodromo de la casa de campo, madrid. 9 mayo 1986

Great bass playing courtesy of the late Mr. Rodford.

1979. Was breaking up with the love of my life, and separating after 7 yrs of living with my girlfriend. But it was amicable. Separate apts in LA, Superman was a powerful radio disco-rock hit then; like the Stones "Miss You' i loved the song. We had tickets to see The Kinks at the Universal Amphitheater when it was still outdoors. So, my kid brother 'Beaver', girlfriend and I saw the Kinks live. They played everything; all their hits. Dave shredded guitar, hit all the high harmony hits, and brother Ray was rock steady...and just the genius he is, Ray Davies. Superman? They blew Superman away! Tremendous live! you should have been there was, I talked to my kid brother tonight on the phone, and have talked to my former girlfrend whom I have known 46 years about that concert. Glad got to see a really really band in their prime, The Kinks.

I had this album and also saw them in Toronto, great band. Very under apprecaited first wave of British rock bands.

Love seeing this old footage..... Kinks did rock out

Even The Kinks had a disco hit!!! 🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼

My favorite live album is One for the Road. Kinks rock

The Kinks were lots of fun in concert. I can remember Ray getting the crowd all riled up with his DAYO chant and my 17 year old brain went wild when the crowd responded. Maybe it was the coke, but they bounced around the stage like it was a trampoline.

The hottest live show ever, they are lots of fun and awesome, everyone enjoys their show.!

I saw the kinks in the 70s and 80s they were great .To bad it's all over now.All the old partyers l knew are just about all dead but the music lives on .🧞‍♂️💤

Shhoooper man!

I was 19 when this song came out and sooooo upset that I never got to see them LIVE!!! ESPECIALLY THIS SONG! SUCH A GREAT BASELINE!

The KInks, simply brilliant and unique.

Love the energy of this band they rock!

Always thought Dave ranked right up there with Jimmy Page, Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, Mick Taylor, etc.. The man was a magnificent rock guitarist.

They were my favorite band of the invasion.

I love this! Kinks my favorite band ever. Also, Happy Birthday to Mr. Ray Davies today - June 22.

OMG absolutely love the performance of this song. Brilliant

My brother in law was a Schenectady, NY cop who earned extra money by doing “security details”. One was to provide security for The Kinks at a downtown theater they were playing. He said the band invited him into the dressing room area and he spent the next two hours drinking beers and hanging with The Kinks. How do you beat that ?? He had a blast.

They were so great. Saw them with the Zombies when I was 15 in Pittsfield, Mass. loved them ever since.

Ray Davies, sooooo very cool, he must look back on his life happily. The poet songwriter-musician extrraudineur', we luv ya Ray.

Im from syracuse landmark theater WOW!

The Gallagher brothers and Oasis, have nothing on the Davies brothers, and the Kinks!! This is real Brit rock,and they've been doing it for decades!

Ray the front man, he knows how to put on a show. I agree with a lot you. The kinks where under rated. Then 4 years could not play in ca .I think other bands feared the kinks.

woooooow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I could have seen this live ! Fucking Brilliant !

My favorite British band

This was playing at the store when I was shopping yesterday... Yay!

I saw these guys at least a half a dozen times in Chicago. Always a great show. Ray really new how to get a crowd going. The fights between Ray and Dave are legendary.

Way better than the studio version There is actually a bad ass solo on here No solo on the orginal recording

This song played a big part of my life as a 90s high schooler. I listed to it during every track meet as a Pole Vaulter. Motivation for sure.

The superior background vocals make the Kinks sound epic, I believe its the Bass Player with the higher pitch, reminds me of Michael Anthony of Van Halen.

First album I ever bought and got to see them live twice. I miss those days

Love it, energy, everything! The Kinks!

Dave rocks here at his best ! kicks your face awesome guitsr

Back in the day I only ever saw the Kinks on telly and that was mostly not live performance of course but mimed! Now that I see this, it is clear they had a great stage presence and could really knock it out of the park, live!

They fucking rock!

Yes, fookin 60's eh.

Providence Rhode island and I love it. Keep rocking 🎸❤️☺️

YES THIS WAS PLAYED IN DISCO'S IN NYC IN ITS DAY.......

What a band.

I will always remember their concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl in the late 1970's, magic! Anyone else who was there?

One neat thing about this era was that Dave finally got to put his guitar heroics back on display. Not that it ever completely went away; but it seems like it took a back seat for a number of years.

Loved this song for soooooo long, my sons love it too❣️

Just freaking incredible!

Just a fantastic rocking band ,live they were a real force!

I got to see this tour while living Dallas & i never regretted seeing them over Yes!!!

Lengends in Rock. Long Live T he Kinks.

When did that song come out? 1980? What a good mix of different music!

I wish i was there!

This is million times better than the studio version, sounds more punk-rock. The guys were great.

Yes yes yes!!!!😁🤘

One of my favorite band

Wow, The Kinks, busted out in the British Invasion in the 60's with the best that England had to offer, but got derailed. Had their hits, though, and then came back in the end of the 70's with this rock-disco-punk classic. Good boys, The Kinks.

Luv this.❤️ Rip Jim.😓

ベストヒットUSAで見て感動した〜🤗

Amazing live performance!!!

saw them in tucson ,az ,waterbury ,ct ,hartford ,ct and new haven ,ct never left disappointed

This sure brings back good memories of a spectacular show in Seattle a few years ago. 🎼🎸🤘🎶🎹🎤🔊😎

Wonder if the Davies brothers ever look back and think, man, we had such a good time, why were we fighting so much ?

Saw the Kinks in concert in NJ Brendan Byrne arena!

No body gives credit for the bass beat.. He was a genius

Ray hated disco, but did it to please Clive Davis at Arista, who wanted a "club" song. Dave initially didn't think much of the song, but the humor kept them going long enough to really nail it.

Royal Navy Business Couldn't be More Usual

This is not the cut from the live album. I can't remember why (what cut) I bought this album for, I wasn't really a Kinks fan, but I was surprised how many songs I already knew, probably ten. The whole thing rocks.

Ray's flying higher than Superman himself!

Kinks fan (big kinks fan) but this song was meant to stay a disco one off. Love hearing the studio version once in awhile.
