WOW, Rocco , Garibaldi, and Sparks just rip it up.

[warpuck]

WGPR dont play this 'cause there too many white people on the stage!

[chungiemunchin]

There are a lot of live TOP videos on youtube and there are examples of some off nights (for them anyway) where they're not quite in the groove or the tempo fluctuates but this video is a great example of the band at their best. They are unmistakably in the pocket and feeling it on this one.

Bobby Sparks is a cold monster on the B3!

[THEEsaxmaniac]

Where in the hell are the bands of this generatons talent in todays music????

[TRICKY315]

They're in the jazz clubs and the church. Sadly, rap/hip hop dominates the airwaves leaving no space to nurture up and coming talents.........I love the singer, but when he hits the high notes he reminds me of Little Richard, lol.

[jazzmadmax]

what does this text with "gefängnisstrafe" mean??

[SirPsychoFlea]

"Tower of Power besteht seit 40 Jahren. In dieser Zeit waren über 50 verschiedene Mitglieder in der Band. Darunter auch Sänger Rick Stevens, der eine lebenslange Hafstrafe wegen Mordes absitzt." so etwa

[mugwaii2008]

The best band in the whole world, bar none!!!!!!
