The Kinks at San Francisco's Winterland - 1977
Winterland in San Francisco was a legendary live music venue in San Francisco in the '70s, converted into a concert hall from an old ice-skating rink at Post & Steiner Streets. Along with nearby sister-venue The Fillmore, Winterland welcomed some of the most amazing musicians of the day.The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, The Ramones, Tom Petty, Springsteen, and The Band (their Last Waltz tour movie was shot there by Scorsese) all played here. The Sex Pistols rocked their last show ever at Winterland in 1978.
And on February 19, 1977 (my parents' 5th wedding anniversary, incidentally. I doubt they were in attendance, although they did see Bob Dylan once), The Kinks took the stage for this awesome two hour show. It's filled with some fantastic renditions of their best songs -- and great audience participation ("Lola" becomes the singalong it always wanted to be). This show was broadcast on the beloved KSAN progressive-rock station (before they became "107.7 The Bone") and as such is a widely-cherished boot from the Kinks.
Enjoy the show --

Good post, but I'm sorry I have to mention one other band that played Winterland. Actually, its the band that, figuratively, owned it - Grateful Dead.
Though maybe the picture said that for you. Also, feel free to pencil in the apostrophe missing in 'its.' After the other day, you have me scared.
Its all good ;)
Unbelievable setlist...
Larry is correct. But I'll forgive your omission, considering the tasty and much appreciated boot share!
awesome show! thank you a zillion!!! wd (from little old Belgium)

this is awesome. thanks!!
I was at this show... and I worked at ksan... hehehe
Dan Hicks opened.
Could you repost/relink? This is only blog that has the last 2 songs. Thanks.
Yes, could you please repost this. Most of the versions of this show in circulation (from the KSAN broadcast) are missing the last two tracks, Life on the Road and Victoria. Although this show is readily available at many websites, these last two tracks are not. So, please, if you have a source containing these tracks, please repost. Or, at the least, repost just those tracks. I would really like to have a complete show of this great concert. Thank you!
