Feb 27, 1987 – The Kinks – Tower Theatre

I don't remember  this concert very well other than their performance of the song "It." I recall there was a lot of dance and theatrics. It was cool. Prior to seeing this show I had seen The Kinks at the Spectrum and JFK Stadium so this was my first time seeing them in a small venue. God save The Kinks.

Notes I don't recall much from this show other than Chrissy at one point stopped a song in middle to scream at her band. A few days later we learned that Chrissy fired keyboardist Bernie Worrell and bassist T.M. Stevens. Nobody fucks with Chrissy!
