Hopefully you didn't have front row seats.
On stage, during the drunkard's lines "Oh demon alcohol", Davies would sometimes spray beer on the front row of the audience, something he did for the first time in Montreal, Canada, on February 5, 1970. He did this because the audience was unresponsive (and apparently stoned) but instead of taking it as an insult they enjoyed it. This led to the performance of the song becoming more theatrical, and with the audiences turning up ready for the shower. (thanks, Alexander Baron - London, England)

I consider Ray Davies to be one of the great songwriters of the rock era, and perhaps of all time. His Waterloo Sunset is simply one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
