I've seen TOP so many times in Seattle and it's ALWAYS a great show. Anybody remember Summer Concerts at the Pier (pier 62 that is)???? TOP and War together - 3 or 4 years in a row in the 90's. Absolutely kick-ass

@t1i9n6a2 i used to work at ticketmaster in the 90's selling all the shows.

[drummerfromoly]

[utubeissad]

I hate stiff ass clubs like this. These people should be up off their asses jammin'! Fuck those fuckin' cocktail tables!

[girlblue73]

Amen!

[richstout]

Go see them live and then say that.

[trwylekat]

is TOP really jammin'? We'd jam cause we like the music. But the band it self isn't really jammin. Their just playing and swaying a little. Most of these people probably could give a shit about TOP.

[jazzyjake99]

what is TOP

[Medic83301]

@jazzyjake99 It stands For Tower of Power . They were formed in Oakland , CA , USA back in the late 1960's . They had a couple of well known hits in the early '70s , " So Very hard To Go " , and "You're Still A Young Man " . Their popularity declined after their original lead singer Lenny Williams left . However , they stayed in the scene by being the backing horn section for Average White Band , and later Huey Lewis & The News . The TOP horn section is also featurred on "Honky Cat" .

and for all you know there could be a dance floor right behind the five or six people right at the stagefront.
