Ray Davies Tickets

GREAT FROM BEGINNING TO END !! STARTED OF SLOW AND MOODY. WORKED HIS WAY INTO ROCK AND ROLL AND THEN INCLUDED HIS CHORAL CHOIR !! THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!!

A good show from Ray Sunday night at the Beacon Theatre. Would rather have not had the choir singing background on the second set. But none the less a wonderful evening was had by all!

UNBELIEVABLE. THE DESOFF CHOIR IN THE BACKGROUND WAS FANTASTIC. RAY WAS IN TRUE FORM. WHAT ENERGY. WOULD SEE HIM AGAIN IN A MINUTE!

My wife and I saw Ray with the Desoff Choir two years ago and was completely blown away. This time was not a let down. As a matter of fact it measured up completely. If you get a chance to see this combo don't pass it up.

Ray gave his audiences everything they could want. Many Kinks favorites delivered in expected and unexpected ways, from a soulful "Waterloo Sunset" and "Days" to a rockin' "All Day And All Of The Night," to a number of songs with the Dessof Choir who helped re-imagine the music with a unique breadth of sound and voice. One of the closers, "Lola" brought everyone to their feet. Aside from the music, which was spot-on for any fan, Ray comes across with genuine love for performing and affection for the audiences. Quips and stories in-between songs made the night feel personal and special.

the Beacon theatre is a great place to see a concert and Ray Davies was as usual absolutely amazing. The concept of more or less 3 different types of concert - acoustical, bank and choral - was very different and pleasant.

Davies had amazing interaction with his audience. It was so intimate that I would liken it to an evening at his home, playing loved songs for loved friends.

A most enjoyable show beginning to end. Ray was his usual personable self, connecting with the audience better than most performers could or would, as well as giving a first class musical performance. The first half of the show, both acoustic & electric, was awesome. The second half, which included an 80+ voice choir, provided a different take on some Davies/Kinks classics and was also quite mind-blowing. It was fun to hear Ray speak (mostly lovingly) about his brother Dave who he failed to mention when I saw him at Westbury earlier this year. I've seen Ray Davies many times over the past several decades. He continues to deliver great anecdotes, great music, and a great performance. Great job Raymond Douglas Davies. Keep it coming.

Ray still has full command of his voice, his guitars and the stage. It's amazing that a man of his years (67?) can still put on such a great show. The only reason he loses a star is that the set list included two songs twice (Victoria & VIllage Green) and didn't include anything from the later Kinks era. "Living on a Thin Line" or "Working at the Factory" would have been perfect with the choir.

Wasn't sure if I'd like the Choral stuff, but found that it enlivened the show and made it almost elegant.

The Ultimate Experience! Started out slow, with two guitars while Ray sang as our ten year old girl turned to us and said, "Ray still has the same voice, it hasn't changed..it's really him!!!" Then, they took it up a notch with the band settling in, and then later, even more a notch--The Choir!! We had a most wonderful time! Thanks to Ray and company. He had anecdotes for almost every tune and made us all feel at home, with a very good ole friend!! The BEST!! THANK YOU!!! Especially for singing Thanksgiving Day and Celluloid Heroes! A Happy Thanksgiving to all those who put on the show!!

Awesome show...really tempted to give it 5 stars, but not quite. Played over two hours total, three encores...lights come up and just when you think the show was over, he came back on to perform one more. And I don't think he did it as part of the agenda. He really seemed to be soaking up the love of the audience and just wanted to please his fans. The guy is all class and to see this kind of show, especially after seeing a Noel Gallagher show earlier in the week at the Beacon which didn't come anywhere near the quality of this performace, well, I know I was a part of something special. Ray, if you or your people are reading this, thanks for a ton of fun!

Ray Davies is definitely worth seeing in concert; one of the great songwriters/storytellers in pop music. A living legend.

Davies is absolutely brilliant in concert. I was always a Kinks fan, but now I'm a Davies groupie! Not only is he an amazing singer and guitarist, he is witty and funny as well. Truly one of the best concerts I have ever seen.

Hard to believe Ray is in his sixties! Sounded great and looked like he was having so much fun on stage. The choir was AMAZING!

Because Ticketmaster did not list on our tickets that the doors opened at 6:30, we missed the first 20 minutes of the concert. Our ticket showed 7:30, so we assumed it started at 8:00 when, in fact, it started at 7:30. We were VERY upset about that! Please inform your customer service people of our problem caused by a company mistake. The concert itself was very good, but not the best I've seen Ray Davies. While the chorus was good, I don't think they enhanced the songs or the performance. I'd prefer to see him without that backround and rocking out more.

This was the third time I've seen him in the last 4 years and he continues to put on a great show. If you were ever a Kinks fan, or even if you weren't, Ray's shows are great fun and great music.

Ray Davies played at the Paramount in Huntington on Nov. 16. He was studio quality incredible. He still has the joy of music.

Incredible show. He could have played twice as long and left out too many songs to count. What can I say - it's Ray Davies. The opening band, The 88 were competent, but uninspired. But nobody can say Ray is uninspired. And his guitarist, Bill Shanley was great. I don't usually go to concerts. I usually prefer studio versions. But I couldn't pass this up, and I'm glad I didn't. I said it before and it says it all - It's Ray Davies!!

first of all the paramount is underrated.Great place to see a show!!!!Ray put on a performance like no other i have see in a while!!!Electrifiying & enthusiasitc very impressive.I can't wait till his next performance comes around!!!!All the hits & songs I remember from the kinks he blasted out,my only regret is I have heard a lot of his solo stuff and that's awesome too!!! He didn't do any of it.Maybe he was trying to keep his original fan base.But if you heard his new stuff you would relize this guy can write some awesome songs!!
