RIP Rocco Prestia, the legendary, innovative bassist for Tower of Power for 50 years and the king of 16'th notes!
First time hearing ToP? You are opening up one delicious rabbit hole with this outstanding group of musicians. You may not re-emerge for a decade or 3. But when you do, you will be wearing the biggest smile.
Right on🖑
I know what you are talking about, I fell down the rabbit hole when I first heard Sparkling in the Sand then You're Still a Young Man when I was 12. Have seen them maybe 40 times (helps being a bay area native). Lydia Pense & Cold Blood - another fave I have seen many times
Articulated righteously my brotha!!!!
I've seen them almost 100 times and IMHO, this was my favorite lineup. Lenny Williams was and is the man on lead vocals.
RIP Rocco, Mic Gillette and Brent Byars. They're still tighter than a clenched fist today and am hoping to see them very soon.
There's nothing like "the funky doctor" popping out those bari sax counterpoints. Thanks for your review.
These guys were part of the soundtrack of my young adulthood... Serious East Bay Funk!
That tenor sax player is Lenny Pickett, who is currently the bandleader for Saturday Night Live. He has insane talent and control of the altissimo register. Catch a live video of him dancing if you can.
I've seen this band at least 30 times over the years. I'm not sure if there's a better show to see live.
This old lady been listening to them for years. Looooove them.
If you’re gonna take a sabbatical then you gotta come outta the box swinging. You just did and knocked it out of the park. Been in love with TOP, since the early 70’s. No one has done it better than them for over 50 years. That’s David Garibaldi on drums. That whole album pictured behind you is worth a listen. Plenty of great tunes, ballads too. Great song, great commentary and great to see you again doing what you love. 🔥🔥😁🔥👏👏👏
Well stated my friend... I agree with you 1000%!!!! Peace.
I have heard it before may times, but I am old. I AM thrilled younger men and woman are Whoa are you kidding this band has got it Oakland's Soul Band and so much more. Thank you my man, for loving it. "Oh how long?" Well over 45 years for me!
They are still rockin today.
Tower of Power is an epic place to pick up! An all-time fave! Got to see them live in the early 70's.
Wonderful to have you back❣️✌️🇦🇺
Top shelf is where their albums live .
High level virtuosity combined with the deepest pockets .
Center of rad .
Best horn band ever
Listen to a ballad. Time will Tell or Below Us All the City Lights. Stunningly beautiful.
You can't go wrong with these guys!! There so much more for you to discover of TOP!! This is one of their most famous songs. My drum teacher once told me he had the sheets for this one and said he knew in theory how to play it but he had no idea how David Garibaldi did it!!
Found It!!👍
Wow, Welcome back D-Syde!! You are one of the only folks reacting to TOP that actually catches the fact that David Garibaldi, funk Drummer extraordinaire, along with the late great bassist Rocco Prestia, are so damned funky they can actually play 2 grooves at one time. Like syncopation within the syncopation. If you really want to take a nice long TOP journey with INCREDIBLE sax playing from Lenny Pickett, try 'Knock Yourself Out' from their fantastic 1976 live album 'Live and in Living Color'. Or, if I can really peak your curiosity, how about hearing what this band, who put out their first album in 1970, sounds like on their latest record... 'Soul Side of Town'. There is recent video from Jules Holland show.
Look out for them Squib Cakes!
Yes, LOVE TOP! Glad you are listening to them. They have many hits, wonderful musicians!
This is how I got through having seperated parents, and Asshole step dad, childhood separation anxiety and overall finding myself. Sax is and has become ME since I was 12 and a huge part is top
I've been a tower of power fan since 1969brother if you hear all their music you're going to be in for a big surprise that some of the badass music of ever heard that you missed out on a lot of people who haven't seen tower Paris this time I got a lot of musicthe guy that played that saxophone band ticket he's the band leader of Saturday night live today the old the guy that hits the high notes that's him he was 17 years old when he got in town or a power before the pandemic they just celebrated 50 years and they do over 200 shows a year till this day and they started in 1968
My friend welcome to the club, You've now been "Soul Vaccinated" my brotha...
One of the funkiest albums of all time
I like your style, cutting and stopping to comment. Saludos from Guadalajara, MEXICO.
Follow the baritone sax
TOP. 1973 Classic Hit
You can replay whatever you damn well want! I am here for the DramaSyde Experience...
You might want to check out Dirty Loops "Work Shit Out"
I was just listening to this song a couple of days ago. Couldn't stop smiling thinking about how appropriate it is given the current conditions with, "vaccinations". Hard to believe this song was released in 1973. The first lines, "Soul vaccination...all across the nation...to keep you from catchin' honky pox, (Honkey pox)" are hilarious. David Garibaldi is one bad-ass, funky drummer. Love this song and TOP!
They are still diggin on James Brown!!
So happy to see you back and at the top of your game. Came back swinging - knocking it out of the park!! ❤️❤️❤️
70s funk is a gold mine rabbit hole. J Geils, ToP, war, brothers johnson, earth wind & fire, ohio players, parliament/funkadelic,. Tons o stuff...
Love this band! Thanks!!
WELCOME BACK
True nuff...😎
Got my soul vaccination, waiting on covid shot
Great band. Man you have to find a live video of these guys ,and gal. They are great to watch.
Well there you go again, jumped right down that hole. Glad you did. I've been a fan since the 70's. This like the Steely Dan rabbit hole. I appreciate your fondness for Can't Buy a Thrill, but a lot of your subscribers said "Wait 'til you get to Aja and Gaucho". I know how much you enjoy those horns. You can take this tour through ToP's albums, but I'm gonna say check out Tower of Power's Live released in 1999. IMHO, This album is totally "Smokin'" , and is one of the best live albums ever put out, but that is my bias. You would never get out of the elevator if this music was playing.
Just a little sidebar, I find myself listening to Steely Dan, which I do often, and after listening through an album, I just sometimes have to hear The Dramasyde version. I have really enjoyed your reactions to the music, and hope to see more. Also, check out Gino Vannelli, Living Inside Myself, Storm at Sunup, Brother to Brother, etc., another great rabbit hole. Thanks Brother, Be Blessed, and keep keepin' on.
Those TOP horns mean business! ...and the rest of the band ain't too shabby either.
Listen to the 40th Anniversary Video.
So much going on . You gotta listen then listen again. Lenny Williams as their front man they were just amazing.
So good to see you back! You've been missed!
Their known for one of the best horn section of all times.
Perfect album. Dig on, Get Yo' Feet Back On The Ground. TOP... GOAT!
I have seen TOP several times over the years. They never disappoint. David Garibaldi is one of the greatest drummers i ever saw. Funky to a fault!!! Please get to You’re Still a Young Man.
I've been listening to Tower of Power for well over 40 years; since the mid 70s. Back in the day the Tower of Power horn section was the epitome of what a horn section should sound like. They were the benchmark for what every horn section strived for. Two more tunes I'd love to see you check out; What Is Hip and Digging On James Brown.
“Kiss my ass!”😂🤣😂. Check out instrumental “Squlb Cakes!”
A little East Bay Grease would be nice, Back On The Streets is a great tune. That sax solo was Lenny Pickett, last I checked he was the Sat Night live Band director. That 5 piece horn section has 2 PHD's on it; 1st trumpet and the baritone player. Those were congas not bongos btw.
1973, You Got to Funkisive. Up until Ebony Jam
funky doctor on baritone deep horn
So great to see you standing loud and proud, doing what u love buddy
Welcome back D-Syde! Here's a group right down your alley, Dirty Loops. They're a Swedish trio of keys, bass and drums. The style is kind of jazz-pop fusion with the lead vocals reminiscent of Stevie Wonder. Here's the link to World On Fire: ua-cam.com/video/PDKecPtliGU/v-deo.html Preview if you'd like.
My friend THANK YOU, they are a super soulful trio!!!! Dam, that was funky and badass.
Thank you for turning us on to them. I'm a now a fan... Peace
I'm a old white guy and even white guys need soul with Funk mixed in the music they were a big deal in the 70s I forgot how it made you move I was also into Led Zeppelin Black Sabbath and so on but everyone needs soul and fuck too round out you your life.Thank You
Welcome back to the channel is what you always say to us... now please allow me to say Thank You for getting back to YOUR channel. And I'm glad to see you speaking up and keeping it real! ❤
We her
We here, you hear....bring IT
Good to see you! Been waiting (im)patiently for your return.
My favorite group ever!!! TOP
Found your Chicago reactions. I'm learning to search, then comment. Thanks for you patience.
Welcome Back I have missed You. I loved this Group and Had many albums!!!
I have watched at least 10 of your videos. Have you done any reactions to Rare Earth?
Tower of Power is perhaps the most musically tight band I have ever heard. First heard, "What is hip?" As a little boy. Hooked ever since.
I used to annoy ppl in class tapping hands and feet on desk to this in my head not knowing
What a timely selection! “ What Is Hip” is my fave by TOP.
I got to see Tower of Power in a very small venue and they were awesome. Need to check our their cover of "Me and Mrs. Jones". BIG NEWS. Angelina Jordan is dropping her new single "7th Heaven" on Friday March 19 (likely at the stroke of midnight EDT).
I've seen TOP four or five times. Totally love these guys. I met Rocco at a gig they did at a county fair in North Cali when I was out there in the navy. He was a super nice dude, kinda short. They smoked the gig of course, and me and my ex were down front, right up front. That was a good day. The way him and Dave and Bruce felt that groove in the same way, was magic.
DG and Rocco was one of the tightest rhythm section the biz has ever experienced.
Epic tune to get ya back in the saddle .
Continuing blessings .
I have been listing to ToP for damm close to 50yrs ,,, was one of my influences for getting into music. Some great songs you should listen to is the live version of "Down To The Night Club Bump City " & Knock Yourself Out" they are even better live than on their albums!!
There is a live album from about 2000. Everything on there is better than any studio version of those songs. By the way, you've heard the TOP horn section more than you know. The go to guys have been on more recordings industry wide then they ever did with TOP
Great knowledge my friend and very true...
That was a special treat for my ears. I agree with your words about your channels and the music. Thank you.
Love the 70s funk
Drama, you do you and it'll all be good. Let the haters walk
What a Vax...Wooo!😎
Killer horn section, NONE better ever!
Muuuust react: WHAT IS HIP? !!!!
Ohio Players: Fire, Skin Tight, Love Rollercoaster.
Try T O Ps "so very hard to go"
What is hip?
I hear ya! THIS is hip!
