Opening band Locksley provided a fantastic complement to the main performance, unleashing an arsenal of electric guitars and catchy pop melodies. In songs like “Don’t Make Me Wait” and “Why Can’t I Be You,” the Brooklyn-based quartet — fronted, incidentally, by brothers, Jesse and Jordan Laz — demonstrated some serious chops as well as the headliner’s enduring influence.
Such made for a celebratory, rambunctious grand finale when, at the end of the night, Ray Davies and Locksley shared the stage, charging through “You Really Got Me” in a garage-rock maelstrom. Concluding with “Victoria” and “Lola,” the musicians looked overjoyed, none moreso than the well respected man at the center of all this sound and fury.

I've heard Ray Davies wants to get the Kinks back together, but brother Dave is the one standing in the way. Could the fact that they shared lunch be a sign that the freeze is thawing?

Dave Davies suffered a stroke four years ago. Ray has stated if and when he feels well enough for a reunion, it'll happen.

I had no idea. Obviously that would tend to complicate things. Here's hoping Dave makes a complete recovery.
