The Kinks - One For The Road (1980) DVD5

There's
so much to recommend about the DVD version of One for the Road that
it's easy to accepts its several flaws. Videotaped at a Providence, RI,
concert during the Kinks tour to promote their surprise hit 1979 album
Low Budget, One for the Road is an excellent showcase of one of rock's
most innovative bands during the height of their popularity as
ticket-selling arena act. Musically, it features most of the Kinks
classics that you'd expect -- "Lola," "You Really Got Me," and "All Day
and All of the Night" are included -- plus a liberal sprinkling from
their then more recent work. While there's no one big standout number,
that really isn't a bad thing. The overall musical performance quality
is strong, though you could make a very good case for preferring the
studio versions of most, if not all, of the songs. The video quality is
not so consistent. The editing is sloppy and there are far too many
moments when indifferent camera operators carelessly point the lens
directly at one of the stage lights leaving light-streak artifacts on
the image for the next several shots. Maybe it's harsh to compare One
for the Road visually to that uber-standard of concert films Woodstock,
but you'd think that by ten years after the standard was established,
things wouldn't have regressed this much. The credited editor on One for
the Road is Wayne Hyde. The credited editors for Woodstock were Martin
Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker. Obviously, One for the Road isn't in
the same league, even if it has to compete for the same consumer
dollars. Fortunately, it's worth those consumer dollars. Among the extra
features there's an audio track by guitarist Dave Davies and an amazing
cool video tour of the places in London where the band members grew up
and began their careers. If you want to find fault with the One for the
Road DVD there's plenty wrong to be critical of, but for the sheer
entertainment of enjoying a Kinks concert from their pinnacle as a
performing band, this is a DVD that you really shouldn't miss.
