A very brief review of last night's show:
If you're a Kinks fan (heck, even if you're not) and Ray is playing anywhere close, you've gotta go. I'm a pretty serious Kinks fan, so my opinion is clearly biased, but that was easily one of the best concerts I've seen in a long time. Ray was in fine form, the band is tight, and every bit of the showmanship you may remember from the Kinks concerts of your youth is still very much in evidence. One image I won't be able to shake for a while is Ray balancing a beer bottle on his head while singing "Low Budget".
Here's the setlist. I'm sure the order of the songs is jumbled, but I think all of the songs are here:

Where Have All the Good Times Gone
20th Century Man
After the Fall
Oklahoma U.S.A.
