If someone had never heard or seen TOP this would be the first video that I would show them and they would know why TOP is the best Soul band of all time. They have been playing for many decades and they only get better with age.
God Almighty, I can't get enough of this! Larry Braggs is the very best vocalist TOP will ever have, and Roger Smith on the B3 makes me shut the door of my office because I can't frigging sit still!!!!
That is The Way my Funky Brother :))))))) Understand.... Completely !!! :))))) These guys are a World Class Power Groove Machine of a Band ...Supreme Blazin Grooves :)))))) Sooo Goooood :)))))) T.O.P. music 🎶Lives :)))))))))))))
Larry Braggs is flying high with these guys behind him....what a great combo of musicians. Saw them in concert in St.Pete Florida and couldn't believe how they maintain that high level of energy .... You're tired after listening to them...imagine them.
Do yourself a favor and catch this band live! It will tire you out, but it's well worth it. It's a damn shame they're not in the Rock N Roll HOF but then again it's not like they've been making sick music for 43 years or anything...
Waay too much FUNK on this tune!! Larry Braggs! OMG!! David Garibaldi STILL funkin with dat Oakland Stroke! And of course, The mighty, mighty T.O.P. Horns blowin away the competition!!
Caught them the other night up here in St. Catharines, Canada.....mentioned to Emilio and Doc that the first time I saw them was the Colonial Tavern in Toronto in '72...can you dig it Lenny Pickett....
If someone had never seen a TOP performance I would show them this particular video. Then they could see why TOP is the top live performance funk/soul band ever. Just Saying!
Saw these guys back in the day and a couple times since..what a killer band! not to insult todays music..because it is so very easy..THIS is a BAND full of talented musicians who ALSO sing and bust a move. Their singing, harmonizing is as tight as their instrumentals..if you have the opportunity to see these guys..DO NOT PASS IT UP!!!
Kenny G Is so pop,man this horn section is the best there is,ask any horn player and they willl tell u the same man these guys smoke......i have been playing for 40 years these guys are my hero's,......so don't even compare Kenny G to these guys.....seriously.......!
These guys are pretty good.........I wonder if they'll ever make it......... listen to this next to any of the crap on the radio today. It will make you ill. Good God.....take it to the bridge.... ouuuuuuu
I'M not whining. i think the Germans are being very respectful by letting T.O.P. perform without any distractions or interuptions. by the way that song is a good funky-soul song.
stop whining about the audience. They're German, they show their appreciation in different ways, not by meaningless shouting and whooping every 4 seconds. They have the greatest time in their life, but they'll give you a balanced review afterwards. It's a cultural difference. Get used to it.
woolters - Hawaii audiences used to be that way - sit in your seat - be polite for the people round you- and just be in amazement of the TOP -now there those clowns who stand up and gotta dance - blocking everyones view!! Have a heart attack!! And go away!!
OUTSTANDING ........ AS ALWAYS ........... THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD........................ LARRY IS OUTSTANDING ...... m.. BUT I WILL GO BACK TO LENNY WILLIAMS ........ LARRY >>>A TERRIFIC SHOWMAN ..........
Please tell me your not comparing TOP to a Garage band! That would be a insult of a profound nature. One must consider the caliber of these gents are above reproach from a musical standpoint. Kenny G ( Who is a musican ) & Kanye West (who is trying not to be a Asshole most times) may have covered /sampled or rearranged a few TOP songs because they are classics.

You can't get much tighter than this. I could listen to this all day!
Larry Braggs is undoubtedly the best front man TOP has ever had! Roger Smith is a monster on the B3!! God, I love this band!!!!
Lenny Williams nuff said

Garibaldi locks that groove down so tight!
One of their best performances. - Fight me!
You are spot on with that comment! Monsters of music.....
HAVE SEEN TOP MANY MANY TIMES AT TOADS PLACE, NEW HAVEN CT. LOVE YOU GUYS, HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING SINCE 1970's
bless you blue! That is a true fan!
Caught them the other night up here in St. Catharines, Canada.....mentioned to Emilio and Doc that the first time I saw them was the Colonial Tavern in Toronto in '72...can you dig it Lenny Pickett....
please get Larry Braggs back. There’s magic at its best
My favorite TOP songs, and one of the HOTTEST versions ever!!
TOP RULES!!!!!!
I saw my first T.O.P show last Friday night and all I can say is WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!
If someone had never seen a TOP performance I would show them this particular video. Then they could see why TOP is the top live performance funk/soul band ever. Just Saying!
the fact that just 3 people are capable of disliking this makes me want to cry for all of humanity!
Fricking love it. Thanks for posting
Fabulous funk... still loving this in 2024
Here's a crime; TP hasn't been inducted to the R.R. Hall of Fame. Unforgivable.
This is some genuine, greasy SOUL, right here from the best to ever do it. Doc was right, they do need a "bottom."
There are good bands,then there are tight bands,then there are Tower of Power...
That is some TIGHT stuff right there. BOOM!!
Besides the ruthless organ solo it remains prominent in the mix.
Can we say Black Gospel here? I thinks so. This is the message here. Love so much.
best live band in the world
+Hillary Chapman No doubt bout that
3:18 one of the best moments in American music
Saw these guys back in the day and a couple times since..what a killer band! not to insult todays music..because it is so very easy..THIS is a BAND full of talented musicians who ALSO sing and bust a move. Their singing, harmonizing is as tight as their instrumentals..if you have the opportunity to see these guys..DO NOT PASS IT UP!!!
Tower of power still so cool
The Best Band on earth
Excellent!
Otra bandotota con jazz-rock neoyorquino, de lo mejor, disfruten antes de que envejezcan!!!...
My friend's band opened for ToP in 2006, got to rap w/Garibaldi (we're both drummers w/a mutual friend)...terrific guy

Saw them at The Whiskey A GoGo on Sunset in L.A., must have been '72/3 - In a small club about 5 feet from the stage was devastating!!!
Love em.....So much Soul.....Feel.....n...Groove with a Capital S 😎Love your work guys..... Music 🎶 Lives :))))))))))))
Priceless memories.
It totally give me the creeps!! WOOOOW! Genius!
So i knock myself out after listen to this... no today band can't reach that level ... love my TOP.
Actually, they're still touring, and bringing it like this every night.
Kenny G Is so pop,man this horn section is the best there is,ask any horn player and they willl tell u the same man these guys smoke......i have been playing for 40 years these guys are my hero's,......so don't even compare Kenny G to these guys.....seriously.......!
Amazing!!!! :D

@windycityopenmic The greatest band in the world by far! Too bad I missed them when they were in Germany :(
1:03 to 2.32...Roger Smith you beast!! Listen and learn kids, this song IS music!
Huauuuuuuuu,buenísimos.
Roger Smith is a master of the B3.....unreal
Just like the Hey Day.- Super !
For the 36 people that disliked this, we can only hope that your pulse will return after a crucial lobotomy
One word. Burning!
Listen to that BASS!!!!!!
RIP Rocco. He was one of the best bass players ever. I`ve seen this concert in Leverkusen live. I`ll never forget it. It was absolutely awesome !
MINT 2:32 - 2:35... OMG!! THAT SOUND INCREIBLE!
I still don't understand how TOP hasn't been inducted in the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame! they deserved to be there long ago! I don't get it.
Go Larry B!!!!!
Одна из лучших
Mr Smith on keys is really "stankin it up" : )
These guys are pretty good.........I wonder if they'll ever make it......... listen to this next to any of the crap on the radio today. It will make you ill. Good God.....take it to the bridge.... ouuuuuuu
