Not overpowering him at all. This is obviously the monitor feed from the instruments. You can tell by the sax solo - which also too soft. In the background the PA is clearly wide open for the audience.
Am sorry to say but I don't like it when the music is louder than the singer! Should the singer scream to the top of his lungs to be heard? The music does sound super but the saying goes: Less is more! I know that this was a ways back but it is often the same situation. Thanks for letting me express what I think. :)
Rufus was the original funk master,cuz it dont get much funkier than this and The keybooard player that you see featured in this video happens to be rufus' son marvel.Long live the legacy of Rufus Thomas.

The "funky chicken" arrangement behind the "Walking the Dog" lyrics. Good grooving but the band is overpowering Mr. Thomas..
