Speedy says: 

"The Kinks entered the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, the first year they were eligible.  Other members of that class included The Who, Simon & Garfunkel, The Four Tops, The Four Seasons, and Bobbby Darin, just to name a few.

This soundboard recording captures The Kinks at the Rockpalast on April 4, 1982, 44 years ago today, during their 2nd wave of popularity. The band's 1977 album Sleepwalker climbed to #21 on the Billboard chart in the US, with the title track and the tune Juke Box Music becoming staples on FM radio. Around the same time, new wave acts such as The Pretenders and The Jam recorded covers of Stop Your Sobbing and David Watts, bringing the Kink's music to a whole new audience. A cover by Van Halen of You Really Got Me also sparked renewed interest in the Kink's music. Then in 1979, The Kink's released the album Low Budget, which climbed to #11 on the Billboard charts. Their next album Give The People What They want, released in late 1981, went to #15 on the Billboard charts, continuing the band's string of chart success. By the way, The Kinks were on the same bill as Van Morrison, who's Rockpalast appearance we posted earlier today."
