  • Uncut funk!

  • That cooks! Tight, so tight, yet tough to play. Kudos to TOP for their musicianship. Wow. They're alone with this sort of music simply because nobody else can play it. I mean play it live, and play it flawlessly. Wow.

  • east bay grease at it's best....get down

  • Dont try to dance to this you will break all your bones.

  • @mugwaii2008 They don't change time signatures, they just it as if the AND of 1 is the downbeat. When you count over it, it makes regular 4/4 on the offbeat of their playing. Very Latin-inspired. Very David Garibaldi!

  • You have not experienced all life has to offer if you had not seen TOP live. They are legendary. The zipper heads in the bogus rock hall fame induction group have negated their accreditation simply because lesser artists are in there and legends like TOP are ignored

  • Right, straight 4/4. Just effing phenomenal playing. Phenomenal.

  • Whew, how nasty can a band get!!! Their just the best!!!

  • Entire tune is straight 4/4, front to back, including the bridge....count it out. Easy. In this particular version, DG is "pushing" the cadence just by anticipating "the one" just a teeny tiny bit. It's a very subtle time shift on an already funky phrase and the rest of the band keeps it right in the pocket. Hey... this is Tower Of Power - expect nothing less.

  • EVERYONE.... there is NO skipping, your ears deceive you, its a straight 4/4 ..... BUT BUT BUT..... Ive tried and tried... somebody please tell me the time signature in the bridge and how they come back in the " on the serious side".... Ive been listening to this song for 30 years and havent figured out the bridge time yet...... Id be SO grateful...

  • "It ain't no laughin' matter

    Stop ALL yo' piddly patter

    'Cause the idea of the Peanut gallery

    Went out with the demise of Howdy Doody....."
