This guy has uploaded hundreds of vintage videos of the Kinks and other popular '60s beat combos. ;D

was that the year the Stones won the Best New Act award for the SECOND time? Well, in Ray's head and in X-Ray - yes; in the rest of the world - no. Peter Doggett interviewed Ray for Record Collector shortly after X-Ray was first published and brought up the subject;
I checked the NME and it clearly shows that the Kinks finished second, way behind the Stones. Ray takes stock of this for a second, and then asks: "Did the Stones win two years running?" Well, no, actually, they didn't. "Oh." There's a silence. "I thought they had. We were told that we were going to win it, anyway." But the results had been published in the NME three months earlier, and the book's full of anecdotes about the group checking their chart positions week after week. "I didn't see it", he suggests in a tone that suggests the subject is closed.
"I didn't want to do the gig anyway," he continues after a moment. "The previous night, my brother had been beaten up by the police and put in prison. In my head, we'd won the prize. So we went through all that, just to get the runners-up award. Nobody else had a runners-up award. Are you sure the Stones didn't win the previous year?"
No, I checked. In fact, there wasn't a Best New Group award the previous year. "Ah, that's it!", Ray exclaims with the enthusiasm of a drowning man who sees a lifejacket floating in his direction. "That's what it was. They qualified a year earlier, and they were no longer a new group. I stand by my argument, though the facts don't match up. If there had been an award the previous year, they would have won it.
"It's like the Who thing." Another old grievance rears its head. "The Who can't have their 30th anniversary, or get in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, until next year, because they weren't the Who until 1965. That was the whole Rolling Stones thing. That was our year." And as he realises that he's in danger of sounding just a little obsessed, he lets loose that endearingly shy smile, and echoes Marlon Brando: "I could have been a contender".

*sigh* Poor Ray. It ain't fair. Great excerpt and vid, GIB. I like his "endearingly shy smile..." ;D

I just love it when journos confront Ray with the historical facts. ;D How dare they wake him from his slumber?

Not video, but here's an audio clip of Robyn Hitchcock singing Sunny Afternoon and Waterloo Sunset -- part of a concert he did July 1 in London where he performed the entire Sgt. Pepper's album (it's worth hearing the whole thing, but the two Kinks songs are separate segments if you only want to hear those.). I don't know how long this will be up... www.archive.org/details/rh2007-07-01
