This is the last of 4 albums of General Caine before they changed label and band name: General Caine became General Kane on Motown. Wikipedia has only a small article about the band. "Bomb Body" is the first track on Dangerous. The 80's synth sound is kind of dominating, you like it or you don't :-) I forgot that we have it already in our collection so I bought it again by mistake.. so more than a reason to post about it!
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! - This is the last of 4 albums of General Caine before they changed label and band name: General Caine became General Kane on Motown.
