    There no one David is a monster on the Serious side of Syncopated funk. Man I love you guys.🥁😎🥁

    What a treat to hear these horn arrangements exposed! And David, a lot of drummers got into drums because of Ringo. For me, it was your playing on Back To Oakland that sentenced me to a lifetime of drumming. Thanks man…

    I never heard of David until about 2 weeks ago. I know Vinnie, Dave Weckl, and Buddy, but never knew David. That track I heard was incredible, his grove was so delicious. Now I hear this! On the Serious side, this is like insane. SO tight!! Great lessons from the horn player.

    We first saw TOP in Cleveland Ohio at the Agora when they just released East Bay Grease. No one knew who they were, maybe 20 people in the audience. The next time they came back to Cleveland you couldn't get into the club. One of the greatest groups of all time and should be in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. They are real musicians and have "Soul with a capital S."

    Excellent playing, especially amazingly tight considering there's no bass in this version- miss Rocco.......

    One of the great things to come out of the infinite multi-universe theory is that there are infinite universes where I kept playing my trumpet and wound up playing with the TOP!

    This is so awesome! TOP has been my favorite band for many years. And the best band in history, IMHO. This presentation of the horn section and drums reveals so much. And to hear their stories and advice is amazing. And... Doc speaks!! Holy crap. Thank you for this. Wish I could like this a thousand times.

    I love the mike setup they have on Doc's horn. I wish the past recordings had Doc sounding like that. Man! The band sounds F*** awesome.

      I'd say I've seen em over 200 times and that was in the 70's & 80's.& 90's.

    Love the back story, and this version was especially good. "It don't got to be loud, but it got to be funky."

    Funk master David Garibaldi laying down some voodoo, he is the best man. I was so fortunate to have studied with Dave, he is a true master of Funk…..

    So glad DG wrote this out for us mere mortals in his book (Off the Record). This groove is mind bending.

    BEFORE THEIR FIRST LP !!!
    Dewayne JACKSON & ARTY BARRON led the way..

    If you ever practice any type of syncopated beat then that is Mr Garibaldi surprisingly I have not heard to many drummers who don’t know who he is.
