Was at this show. It was hot as Hades but TOP played like it was still the 70's my era. Great brass and percussion as usual. Still jammin after all these years.
@@peterantunes1153 Your more than welcome. Is it true that you're from North Dartmouth MA? I googled your name and there was an article from 1997 from the local paper "South Coast Today" or something along those lines and it had an article with your name as a drummer from the local high school. Anyway, if you are, I'm right down the road in Fall River. You're the perfect guy to fill DG's chair. I saw my first show in 1973 and I haven't stopped since. Time flies and welcome to ToP!
@@alcambrola2834 😂😂 That’s amazing!!! That’s me from Dartmouth. I’ve still got a bunch of friends out in Fall River. One of which, in particular, is Todd and Tammy from TJ’s music shop on main st. I don’t even think that he knows that I got the gig yet! 😂 I worked there for a while back in the day and actually ordered that Tama kit that I was playing through him.
@@peterantunes1153 Small world. TJ's music back in the 60's and 70's was Al Rainones music. At 12, I started trumpet lessons there and played in the high school bands and that's about as far as I went with it. I go by there all the time because my favorite Chinese restaurant "Number One" is right next door in a little strip mall along with a Dominoes. These days, I sing a little Karaoke and actually do "Down to The Nightclub."-lol
carlton, google prakash john , the lil kids dad, and see if his resume is good enough 4 u. and check out jordan johns solo discs. he's just what TOP needs at this point in time.
NO GARIBALDI? REALLY, HOPEFULLY NOT ... but, as a drummer, i gotta admit this new guy is FANTASTIC - he holds it down very similar to DG David. I agree, the lead singer is paramount to the TOP tradition. This young dude is not a worthy resplacement to Lenny Williams and the others in the past. But, he's young and i give him credit for attempting to do the TOP vocal gig. Soul Brothers are usually the best lead singers in the TOP -- until yall find the young soul bruh singer, keep the young man lead singer. He's doing well, for right now !!!! young singer's vocal chops are a bit too girly - too high of a pitch, or something like that - at least he knows his lyrics.
You are on point regarding the new drummer. David G. is a legend. I really like Jordan the new singer, the two guys prior to Jordan did not fit my ear, and apparently , Mimi. Ray Greene has been a great Designated Singer. The rest of the guys are always tight. Go TP
Tower still got the POWER still jamming 50+ years how many bands from that era is still kicking IT keep on doing IT. T😊P keep bringing on .🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
They surely bring the funk.
Just saw TOP in June 2024 in Bethesda, Maryland. The crowd was insanely appreciative.❤️❤️🎵🎵
I can absolutely see why.
Happy 56th ToP🎉
Squib Cakes it is--Outasight !
Still groovin'! Saw the band in SF, 1978. Still powerful, still funky - love it!!!
TOP! Still holding it down tight! Thanks for the memories!
Always caught TOP at the Waldorf in SF back in the early 80's... TOP is the definition of Funk
"Squib Cakes" did it for me.
Still around for over 50 years and still powerful . Saw/heard them last yesr in Denton tx .
I love this funky band! TOP is total bad-ass!
That they are,
I liked the singer on their 50th anniversary special on PBS much more than this guy.
The kid sounds OK, the guitar playing not bad, needs to work on his singing, tho this is only a snippet of a show to watch; we'll see.

@@peterantunes1153 Sounds really great, Davids place is in good hands
"And brand new to the TOP rhythm section ........." What, does that mean no more David Garibaldi????
Band sounds great! They need to ditch the lil kid sangin. His parents wernt even born when those TP songs came out.
carlton, google prakash john , the lil kids dad, and see if his resume is good enough 4 u. and check out jordan johns solo discs. he's just what TOP needs at this point in time.
@@joeymyopiclmao. Nailed it
What's wrong with his singing?
The "kid" (Jordan Johns) plays drums, keyboards , guitar & sings. And he is very good at them all.
