Where Have All The Good Times Gone?

Seymouro
Written by Ray Davies of the Kinks and recorded in the mid 60's.

I always loved this song. First David Bowie covered in in 1972 on the "Pin Ups" album. Then Van Halen in the early '80s.

I love all the renditions. Which one do you like best? I'll tell you my fave in a few weeks.

The original by the Kinks.

As much as I like Van Halan with DLR it's Bowie by a mile on this tune for me. Is that Mick Ronson on guitar? whoever it is is BA. Love that you have all three versions in one post.

Yes! 

Said I'd wait, but I absolutely love how Bowie covered that one.

And, yes, that was Mick Ronson on lead.

I like all three for different reasons. The Kinks version has the edge for me but only for the nostalgia aspect.

I get that.

I'm torn myself. Loved them all. Such a great song. That's why I posted all three videos.
