Dig all the space between the notes.. even with all the 16th note stuff going on with the drums, bass, guitar & keys... there's still room to breath. Great stuff, great audio quality.
im 13 and my band teacher recommended this band to listen for the Bari, and im glad he did, i now realize my low horn is a force to be reckoned with, not just a filler
What can I say? Truly the quintessential band's BAND. At the Birchmere they were awesome. Thanks TOP for 43 years of great music, and showing everyone else how it should be.
They upped the tempo for this performance and as good as it is, I prefer a couple ticks slower. It's still a long blow for the horns at any speed. It was nice of Larry to put shades of Lenny in it...and so well, too. Brings back a lot of memories. I don't even want to think of the day when any of the core 4 ever decide to call it quits. It will be a sad, sad day on this planet. Many lives will change. I was vaccinated '76 and have been honkypox free ever since! This song fixes me.
Excellent audio quality. Unfortunatley has been taken out of the set lists for now as a full tune... as has Squib Cakes, which I doubt we'll be hearing in shows again for a good while.
Robbie Rythum here. This man can sing it. Ain't braggin but I' ve been checkin these guys out before by bud Kim Smock hung with David at Kim's pad (1970) keepin his chops up wilst parridideling his drum pad. This singer can sing it and the funk is never better than TOP. Damn! close your eyes sit back and feel this. If you like blues check out Joe Banks and friends in the Los Angeles area. Uncle Darrells soul food in the Marina.
This singer is the hardest working performer in the business... just look at his shirt...

TOP.... forever young! Timeless stuff here man. Dave G. and Rocco P. are and have been the best combo around for over 40 yrs now. Amazing riffs.
