Chester Thompson's foot work on the Bass pedals is freakin' MINDBLOWING! Man, I wish the band these days would open it up and jam a good 15 to 20 minutes of Squib Cakes. Just like this and just like they use to back in the day. For whatever reasons, they just don't do it anymore.
that was a SICK horn arrangement behind Gillette's solo; how can you not love these guys? Hoping to hear Chester tear it up after LP's usual blistering solo. Oh crap, turn it up, Mr. sound man; can barely hear that organ! That's better.
The original members of TOP met because they were all proficient studio musicians in the Bay area. That shows how professional and proficient these guys are.
treasured lp this live happening is proper happenin in 70's speek dont ya know lol

All snappy, tight, and HEAVY.
Kids these days just don't know.
I'm glad I had a chance to see this stuff live 'back in the day'.
Talk about tearing you a new one.
And people nowadays just don't have a clue as to 'why' we like Tower of Power.
Funk. R&B. Jazz. Soul. All rolled into one delicious recipe.
This was gold.

Will anyone out there post the real thing? Someone please post the original "Squib Cakes" from this album. This track is a nuclear jazzfunk bomb!
