Artist:
James Brown
Title:
Pure Dynamite - Live At The Royal

Info: It has only eight songs it's less than half an hour long and two of the songs are studio tracks with overdubbed audience noise. It's not nearly as well-known as his live '60s albums recorded at the Apollo but Pure Dynamite! recorded live at Baltimore's Royal Theater in 1963 is nearly as good. This is decidedly more raucous than his 1962 Live at the Apollo with the balance leaning toward up-tempo ravers like "Shout and Shimmy " "Signed Sealed and Delivered " and the set-closing "Good Good Lovin' " all of which are positively kinetic. To break up the pace there are some RB torch ballads including the song without which no James Brown show was complete "Please Please Please." It's also fair to say that the recording quality is primitive even more so than on his 1962 Apollo gig; the vocals are a bit hollow
