my 2 cents for what it's worth. the only reason LB is not the GOAT is because he never had an original signature song of his own. i love "could have done it better" but i only heard them play that song once in concert!. got to meet him and he is a super nice guy.
Thank God for TH-cam because I can still listen/watch Rocco play the bass. He and David lock in so tightly it's as if they're one person. I could listen to these guys all day long!
This show was at the Wilmington Opera House, Delaware. I was there, just happened to get a ticket,, it was booked by being on Utube...Got a ticket. The show was video taped for PBS. Great theater.
tony dial , just saw your comment , me too at the agora , in 1973 no words to describe how good these guys have been over the years , their vocal harmonies are very much under appreciated .
The love of my life took me to see TOP and sang this to me along with the band. He broke my heart but I will always love him. When we met he looked up into my eyes and time stood still. It was the most magical, strong and strange feeling. I left knowing we would end up together. It took almost 2 years but it happened. I've never felt that again.
Badest Band in the Land "Ladies and Gentlemen the Tower of Power Horns !!!!" Larry was a real showman, miss his smoothness and the way he highlighted the other players in the band.
The GOAT of T.O.P. lead singers!!!

Exactly my thoughts.
Jesus this is just amazing. The Vamp is TIGHTTTTTT.
Every performance of theirs is so damn good. I don't know how they can be so consistently great!
That is one of their trade marks, they have a very very good average.
It's because they play constantly. Either on the road or in the rehearsal studio. They don't let the vibe get cold.
Glorious memories of Blackpool Mecca, in the Highland Room on a hot summer night in July 1975. The symphony of my life
Saw Tower of power in person and I couldn't keep still

They were awesome in person I was feeling the grove
One of the best; got into them 1978
Grew up with them in 70's they rock!
Tower of Power kicks it with the best horn section "ever" in R&B music!

Always something new to grab your attention with TOP. That Kupka can sure dance. I think there’s a TV program made for him and guys like me!
The greatest!
Love the way they put it all together so effortlessly /& still do. I’m partial to Rick myself. RIP 🦅🏍⚒☠️⚡️🌎🇺🇸🏥🦠🏥😎🌹😎
Bad ass!!! Larry on lead vocals -way too funky and smooth!!
All I can say is THANK YOU FOR THIS POSTING. In 1973 I saw them at the Agora in Cleveland Ohio Love this Band.
Lenny Williams on vocals that year

Tower of Power is out of this world. No better rhythm and blues band .

There is no other brass like this in whole worrld they are unique
Rodolfo, I'm saying that a wide second was the Memphis Horns. Might have said that the MH Backed up the TOP.. no such animal ☮❤❤🇺🇲

Phenomenal … for the ages …
They're coming to Hawaii on December 7th!!!
Going to see them April 1. 50 plus concerts.
Love TOP but must say Larry Braggs was the quintessential TOP singer
@selpingos Rick Stevens?
He had a great run with TOP great singer and entertainer
@@BMXRenzo which album did he appear on. My memories of the voices were Hubert Tubs and Lenny Williams and Michael Jeffries
??WHAT?? Lenny Williams man!!
Had Rick Stevens not gotten into trouble, he’d probably be their money winner. He had so much soul.
Larry and the funky doctor!
great great great
sorry , elena , I did not forget about rick , excellent lead singer , for sure
Get down Doc!
GO DOC!!
The Preying Mantis it is.
