    That whole 40th anniversary show is sick! Good choice. Best live band I've ever seen, and they make it look so easy.

    East bay awesomeness... 1974 I used to cruise around town in my 1956 chevy blasting TOP on the 8 track. They actually played at my HS in the east bay area...
    You know one thing that I've found, I still be diggin' on TOP. 🎸👍

    Got hooked on then in 1974 and been listening to them since then. They just don’t make them like that band anymore.

    Man I remember Seeing these Cats in Hartford Ct when they had Bret Beyers on Congas, Lenny Pickett on Tenor doing his Smokin Crazy Dance moves and Garabaldi played a 4 piece Slingerland set open heads and Lenny Williams sang They Kicked ASS then, Being an Up and coming Drummer I worshiped Garabaldi, back then still do today with other drummers back in the day Sandy McKee Cold Blood Gaylord Birch who played for both later on and Ronnie Beck Man Stubberfield, Starks, James Levi, but Prestia Garabaldi were the Shit when they locked in, Damn Funky was made.

    TOP is my favorite funk band of all time. Rocco and Dave grooving together is the best there is, topped off with a powerful horn section. This band is crazy groovy. Rest in peace Rocco. You are my biggest bass hero.
