Larry Braggs wow!!! He is an amazing singer! Just lets everything out when he sings! I love watching and listening to him sing! No one better!! Born natural!
Nearly 55 YEARS (how many groups/bands can say that?) of putting out the best music in the WORLD! No one compares. No one! I think I have seen them live over 20 times and they make EVERY show worth it. Larry Braggs is the best lead singer in this universe. He gives it ALL every concert. I had to remember to BREATHE at times. Absolute killer on the chromatic ascent, echoed by the guitar - so funny when the GUITAR runs out of range and Larry keeps pushing up. WOW - WOW - WOW!!!!! Soul, Funk, Rock, call it whatever you want to call it, I call it, the best group that has ever existed. So wished he would return.
Simply the "greatest band on the planet"
Larry always killin' it on vocals. Wow!
When I was in high school, our band director had a tape of songs to get us to feel the beat while we were learning how to march. This was one of the songs! Brings back some great memories of waking up at 5:00 AM at band camp!
I just love me some Larry Braggs. AWESOME ‼️
Kings of American Soul Music. No one, repeat, NO ONE better.
No one!
One of their best singers
Larry it can't be the same without you!! Can't be replaced. The BEST JIMmy Strassburg
I saw Larry at his first performance with TOP at the JA Nugget in Reno, NV....he was really prepared and did good. Over the 9 yrs with the Band he became a showman, not just a lead singer. He keep the show moving and brought the band and the crowd together and didn't make it all about him. He always highlighted the horns and the other players when it was their turn to shine.
Wow! That was good audition! I've never run into anyone who was at that show. I've seen interviews where he talks about how nervous he was. What a treasure that must have been!
it was a great show @@seansturgill4869
What a promising young band of musicians awe it’s the power top the greatest horns in music n an all around assembly of fantastic people in life
Gotta love Jeff Tamiler quoting Miles to begin his solo.
Who in the hell disliked this video?!?!?! OPEN YOUR EARS!!!!! This is slammin'!!!!!!
He sung the hell out of that song.
THIS is MUSIC.
Holy 💩 Larry Braggs, gotta to be the most soulful version I’ve heard of this…. Sensational!🔥🔥🔥
Put these guys in the HALL already!
45 years strong and TOP just keeps putting on amazing shows! Loved these guys since the early 70's, and even with all the personnel changes, there isn't a funk/fusion band that can touch them. Rock On TOP!
What an out and out amazing band!
YUP ....you got that right!
@SuperSweetTea3 I totally agree! I also am a 14 year old girl and have been listening to tower of power since I was 1, definitely one of the best bands of all times!
I saw em at age #13 in 1968,then 14 in 1969.& Too many to count now
Larry Braggs, dammit, such a hardworker so good
CAN'T COUNT HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE SEEN TOP AT TOAD'S PLACE NEW HAVEN CT. SINCE THE 1970's LOVE THIS BAND YUMMY !!!
I just saw their show in Indiana, and I’m telling you right now, with all the conviction I can humanly convey, if you like fun, if you like to get up and move, if you want to hear one of the tightest bands, one of the funkiest soul bands that ever existed, do yourself a favor and go see Tower Of Power!
Not kidding this could be the best guitar solo I've ever heard. Not one wasted note, the tastiest licks and that volume control near the end. Holy shit.
guess u never heard of IKE Turner or George Benson
Luther Allison, GUESS U NEVER HEARD OF THOSE BAD ASS GUITAR PICKING, KING BOYS BB, Albert & Freddy Johnny Guitar Watson, WES MONTGOMERY
It's amazing what air and space can do to develop a great solo. His concept/approach to this solo is very cool!
J.T. it is.
...just love the music you love.
...the good stuff lasts forever.
...pass it on and keep it alive.
When I hear this, I am reminded of why I enjoy being who I am and how I grew up. We were all just kids and looked at each other that way. We missed the confusion and anger. REMINDS ME OF TOBY KING AND THE CHOCOLATE BUTTERMILK--they could cover anything better than the original. Like to see TOP one more, time as well.
seen them 4 times...always amazing.
this sounds so good..
....so it does .....every time!
Working man's funk...done by professionals!
just wow
BEST FUNK AND SOUL HORN BAND IN HISTORY!
One of my all time favorite TOP tunes. they seldom play this in concert anymore.
thanks for posting
One of the baddest groups to ever perform with those bad horns. Gotta love it
the Tower hit #26 in Billboard, 9-7-74. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!
If you wanna see me STAND UP....Play some Tower Of Power from any album...If you wanna see me scream play any Tower "LIVE!" I live for this!
Just saw Tower first tine with AWB........what a concert? Always enjoyed Tower on Live albums
Pura magia! La mejor banda de Funk/Jazz de los ´70!!!!
Larry Braggs is a monster on the mic. getty up getty up
Larry B Rules!!!!!
Best band in the world TOP!! Hey Roger, loving that nice shirt... you're groovin' on the B3 as always:)
Gina Livingston aww
Gina Livingston thanx
tHIS SINGER HAS IMPROVED A LOT.
Just plain great!
Seeing them next friday! AWESOME!
If I had to pick my favorite T.O.P frontman, it would be 2: Lenny Williams and Larry Braggs. That brother did some justice in that song!
Larry is great, but you need to listen to Ellis Hall a little bit
Tommy Bowes
I feel so very sorry for what I would assume to be GROWN folks making the most ridiculous comments on youtube. This is a great band. Key word being BAND. Every band can't have the best singer, or the best drummer, or the best bassist etc in it. Grow up people. Damn.
So damn good.
Just played in my band rehersals... Wonderful track... (we play you've got to get funkfized too)...
+Luca Dante “IlDuca” Lindemann gee great news that's wonderful
Holy Fricken' Goosebumps!!! WOW!!!
OUR LEADERS NEED 2 TAKE HEED!
Had the honor of opening for T of P at My Father's Place on LI w/my brother Billy in the latter 70's. Francis needs help w/ a transplant, so please got to their website to help if you can.
great
I've only seen them live 3 times starting in 2011. I know I'm REALLY late to the game, but they are the absolute best live concert ever. I've been to a million concerts (exaggerated but not by much). The Eagles are praised for their precision, but no one comes close to T.OP. I've never even heard a live recording that was sketch. I've listened to a lot of Chicago live stuff where the drummer rushes or the horns are totally overblowing. Not T.O.P. it's all punchy. It's all top notch
You couldn't have said it any better!
LB the baddest cat in the land.
so good....
Garibaldi. Enough Said.
and they say machines dont have souls. he's a machine and he certainly does
Real funk no chaser
TIGHTEST BAND, ALONG WITH JAMES BROWN
Francis !!!
Nobody sounds like TOP
They're coming to philly this summer, @ dell east....can't wait to see them....
guys you're groovin so deep !
Perfekt
I discovered this after it was in my recommendations watching a video of Timberlake performing Rock your body
W O W !!! Super Sweet Tea 3 your a Smart One !!
For Rick Hong ,Gary Kiviniemi,Tom Whaley,Anna Allen and KERRY P HODGE,DODIE FISHER,Alan FISHER, MIKE RYLE, JOHN PIRKLE,Et All And Happy.birthday in four.days.to Anna, Gary,and KERRY
@keithcap absolutly true... they r rocking for more than 30 years... saw them life in germany.. absolutly breathtaking :)
The one, the one and funk was born along with some gospel, blues and down right chitlin african funk like a mofo'...James Brown was the messiah and no one can dispute this one fact!!!
Wow...
ahhhhhhh/ aahhhhhmazing!!!!
Reminds me of "old" San Francisco!
right on sista
super fine music
you have agood taste in music
all the best

DON´T CHANGE HORSES ( IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREAM ) druhý najväčší hit TOWER OF POWER, ktorý bol v rebríčku R and B 12 týždňov od 20. júla 1974 a skončil na 22.m. V rebríčku Billboardu bol desať týždňov od 20. júla 1974 a skončil na 26.m.Na b strane singlu bola skladba I Got The Chol.

Autormi piesne boli spevák Lenny Williams a J. Watson. Autormi I Got The Chop boli Kupka a Castillo.
Yes! :)
@captainmarkoos hell yea, seen them there plenty of times..
Grew up on T O P
@SuperSweetTea3 Agreed. Funk/R&B all the way!
I dont understand how that crowd can remain so still?
Fucking sweet!
Takes me back - too far!!! But it's a great trip!!!
My favorite band . It would be nice if Larry wiped some of that sweat off during performances.
the most bad ass funky mother#### s on the planet!!!!
Rocco..
Oh Larry why did you have to leave.
Temptations was calling his name.
@@robertdowler8105, he did his own thing in between bands.
I’m so sad that he left. I thought he was a perfect fit for the band.
TOP is the only band I know of that sounds as good or better live than their recordings. They never lose a beat. Rap and Hip Hop music are all fake.
L.B.ness it is.
Miss you David Bartlett___Old TOP drummer😀
@dessingo xD i louged out loud
@wjc66 I wouldn't use the word "best" since they have had very talented singers. Lenny Williams is my "FAVORITE" TOP singer, followed by Larry and Brent. Yes, Larry is a bad ass. Lenny has a unique vocal quality that I find very appealing. I don't however, see music as a competiton. Rather as a showcase of talent.No disrespect intended.
rick stevens,hubert tubbs?
@@pgonzo98 Rick and Hubert were good singers. Hubert was the first singer after Lenny Williams. I don't know why he left.
@SuperSweetTea3 You automatically win, at life.
Message to TH-cam:
Don't stop playing in the middle of the stream!
And i was sweating
@ krzycho13/where can I get a copy of this DVD?
@VitaminseaFL When they do play it in concert, they usually only play it like they did here in a medley, I don't think they do it as an individual song anymore.
true statement gritty up gittyup hi o silver
Interesting - I think the verses use the four-chord progression made infamous by Axis of Awesome. Good thing this is a damn good song. Besides, this was written way before that progression became the object of abuse it is now. At this point, it was only used by The Beatles and Journey, to my knowledge.
do you hear the amazed person in 4:10 ?? :D
That freakin guitar solo was PITIFUL.
+gittahfiend The hell are you talking about. That was spine-tingling masterful.
+gittahfiend - I agree... I was looking for more content there.
You must be one of those guitar douche bags that thinks the faster you play, the better the solo.
+Blake Snipe first off fuck you for calling me a douche bag. secondly, they need Bruce Conte back in the band cause they seem really hard up for a good guitarist.
gittahfiend
I stand firmly by my comment.
F.Y.I. Leaving the sweat on actually keeps ya cool, fool! When you wipe it off your, body has to start all over again cooling you down, which leads to dehydration and cramps.
What is Hip? By TOP
5 people need to gitty up or check their pulse!!
@bigman9099 My God Larry's good...on any given night the best band in the world...do you think they could win on American Idol ? LOL !!!
