Cameo, one of the greatest funk bands of all times, and they are still existing and touring. Also, they are having a residency in Las Vegas. Read my earlier Vinyl Wednesday about their album "Cardiac Arrest". This album is a total funk banger. In the beautiful year 1978, this album (their third) has been released. Lots of guitars and very very funky vocals. This is the first song of the album:
Second song:
and so on. Cameo never dissapoints. The series of "Vinyl Wednesday" is a way to remember you and myself of some incredible records made in the past and present..
So the first time we played the music from Royalty For Real wasn't in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, but in Bengaluru and Mumbai, all the way in India in 2023!Here you'll see me play Au Privave, Classy Cats and Royalty For Real, together with Timothy Banchet (piano), Marius Beets (bass) and Sven Rozier (drums).Au Privave is a well-known blues by Charlie Parker which I often like to start with, almost like a soundcheck tune. Although most of the time a soundcheck is done I found out it's a good idea to play a tune everybody of the band knows very well so we all can get used to the sound of the stage, the presence of the audience and it also gives the sound engineer the chance to adjust microphones last minute. During the soundcheck, the sound of the room is significantly different because of the lack of audience. All that flesh and clothes work a little bit like a totally empty room versus a room with furniture and carpets, if you know what I mean :-)Acoustics are so interesting and full of surprises.. Anyways.. hope you like it! - Cameo, one of the greatest funk bands of all times, and they are still existing and touring. Also, they are having a residency in Las Vegas.
