The sax soloing by Tommy Politzer is outstanding. He is an unsung hero of the band. His solos with Tommy Igoe's band are also top notch. Thank you Memphis Drum Shop for these amazing sounding recordings!
Me and my friends from our ROLLINGWOOD neighborhood, used to jump the fence at CONTRA COSTA COLLEGE and watch TOWER OF POWER rehearse.. BEFORE THEIR FIRST LP !!! Dewayne JACKSON & ARTY BARRON led the way..
i miss that percolating conga color nowadays with TOP..especially since DG had this extensive stint with TALKING DRUMS an afro-cuban percussion trio with Jesus Diaz and Michael Spiro...great stuff and very inspringen...
I swear DG has 4 brains. One for each limb. The best funk drummer on the planet. Of course, the TOP horns are peerless. Awesome vid!
DG has always been One of My Favorite Drummer's on the Planet. His Technique is out of this World. Much Success to Tower Of Power and Dave Garibaldi.
Yes. LIstened to them once and he was not there...it was...okey...done by someone I do not know the name of...but...just okey...
Iron Mike is so solid. DG changing up the groove in spots. Pure gold! 🙂
That was amazingly funky without a bass, guitar or keyboard! So great! DG Incredible!

Whoever did the sound for this has my respect.
Amazing! Dave's groove is so vibrant, captivating, the song still grooves with a one man rhythm section. Let's keep it simple, Dave is a genius!
A Bass Player really dream come true😍😍😍😍
This is the reference for every music student …
I would love to hear much of the TOP catalog recorded like this. It’s a blast to hear the horns and drums so clearly. Bravo!
Just horns and drums... awesome!

Politzer is the best. Ever.
One of these days, we might actually hear Adolfo Acosta speak. Please pass the popcorn. :)
Who needs guitars? - and I'm a guitarist!
I just hope Mike Bogart never leaves the band.
Someone tell me what the time signature is. After all these years I still can’t figure it out.
4/4 lol
4 4 my dude, you can find transcriptions of the groove online
Killer. True.
Does Doc actually talk ever?
In the third or fourth video has a couple of advices for youngsters
Find a tighter horn section, I dare ya!
If you have Genius doc krupka on Bass Saxophone you don't need an bass Player... 😅
