We all know what a soul blessing it is to have the Tower Of Power come to a stage near us. The dream of getting into a soundcheck / rehearsal remains high on many a wishlist.
I had the privilege of filming a local club a few years back, The Downtown , located in Farmingdale , Long Island NY.
This is a part of that special day and time shared with our friends the Tower Of Power. Special thanks to Emilio Castillo for not only making my day but allowing me to video and to share it with the rest of the Tower Fans.
I believe the date was April 21,2003, just after Rocco being blessed with his liver transplant and back in the saddle..
I got to hear a sound check several years ago when TOP played the San Bernardino County Fair in Victorville, CA. As it tunred out, that night Rocco left the band due to a medical problem. I couldn't get near the stage, but we were still able to hear very well.

How flippin' cool is this! It's obvious they're not in "performance" mode right here but still so very tight. The very definition of professional. But not for nothing, David looks like he needs come coffee in a bad way lol.

@HawaiiScot1 : Michael Bogart in Trumpet, him & his wife Jeannie, are good friends of mine. We were in Japan together in the late 90's when he was in the US NAVY BAND, THEN HE GOT OUT, join the Lynard Skynnard band & eventually with the TOP. He left the group & went back to Naval Academy in Annapolis to join back the US naval band. Seen them here in Las Vegas w/ TOP during thier gigs here in Orleans Casino. Do you know him personally?Good horn player. Way to go Mike.
