One for the Road is a 1980 live album and video by the Kinks. It was released on 4 June 1980 on LP and cassette in the US, on video on 25 June 1980 in the US, and on 1 August 1980 in the UK.

Reception

Most of the recordings date from a portion of the 1979-1980 American tour in support of the band's Low Budget album, hence the inclusion of six songs from that LP. Those songs were augmented by a selection of hits dating back to the band's formation in 1964. In his 1980 review of the album for Smash Hits, David Hepworth said that the album was "as convincing an argument for banning live albums as you'll find". In their brief review, AllMusic wrote that "One for the Road is a fascinating document of trailblazing elder statesmen who paved the way for heavy metal and punk, but never felt a glorious pop song was out of their grasp."
