Thijs in super form, performing a funky, jazz based version of the Focus classic, 'House of the King', Auratones style. Fantastic bass playing here by Guus Bakker, though, as the video illustrates, can be hard to get a glimpse of those hardworking 'back line' Auratones musicians.

Thijs van Leer and The Auratones, played to an appreciative audience, during the 'Palm Parkies' tour in Breda, The Netherlands.

The Auratones is an impressive band of accomplished musicians, as well illustrated here.

The Auratones, featuring:
Lean Robbemont: drums
Guus Bakker: bass
Tjeerd van Zanen: guitar
Erwin Hoorweg: keyboards
Marcel Reys: trumpet
Peter Broekhuizen: baritone sax & flute
Milan Bonger: alto sax
Guests: Thijs & Berenice van Leer
