I grew up in the 60s and had a son (now 50 yrs old) . My late brother , Tony ,was a phenomenal musician and played in bands back then (lead guitarist and also played upright Bass) any way my brother was babysitting for me one day ,and when I came home my son at 2 years old (couldn't pronounce his uncle's name so he called him 'uncle Toy' ) was demanding that my brother play( "Squib Cakes" uncle Toy, ) for him. I still have a good laugh and great memories of that, my brother was turning my toddler onto good music even then. ❤️
Consistently (over 50 years) the best live band I've ever seen. TOP never disappoints. I've seen many others mentioned here (big names) have bad nights but these guys ALWAYS deliver. Great ensemble and leadership from Emilio Castillo.
Without a doubt, Tower of Power had the tightest rhythm section, the most phenomenal horn section and their vocals wasn't too shabby either. They had it all including some awesome tunes.
I never get tired of listening to Tower of Power and Mr Garibaldi thumpin’ that funk pocket. mason, cobham, white, acuna, weckel and a bunch more play some sweet grooves, but Mr Garibaldi has such a distinct feel, sound, and approach to the music...yaaa, he’s The King of Funk
I do not understand why people are getting down on Mr. Santana. He has a distinctive style that is him and he at least has the balls to get up and play along with TOP a different style of music all together. TOP is awesome as is Santana but agreed they do not mix but that does not detract from each other in amount of respect.
I’ve been a fan of TOP since forever David Garibaldi is one of my favorite all time drummers. He is a legend. Great band to see live if you are not out of your seat dancing your not alive.
This is a killer performance by Chester CT Thompson! His playing on the Hammond B-3 Organ is over the top! Tower of Power is kicking it with the horns and rhythm including Carlos on guitar, but CT killed it on the B-3!
Every time I hear these fire-breathing guys play their ultra- funky soul; -- my music muscles get bigger, faster, and stronger! TOP is the best band ever to walk onto a stage, anywhere, -- anytime! They Never give up, Never surrender! They melted my face at Winter Land, 1971, San Francisco. 1:52 1:52
Best horn section in the west coast,I love to hear the funky doctor, he makes that band go man he's funky and Emilio Castillo best rb soul jazz funk group in the land hats off to them never be another band like them
Rocco,Chester and David are in rare form in this video! The horns are over the top as well! The rest of the band including Carlos are just trying to hang in! Awesome!
Back in the day these were all bay area local musicians, Tower Of Power, mostly from the East Bay Carlos from San Francisco, but like Huey Lewis and the news they would all jam together and support each other. I think it’s totally awesome that Carlos Santana was playing with tower power back in the day.
For a treat, listen to the original recording and catch Mic Gillette's french horn solo. When I was a kid, we'd go to MSJ Highschool football games, and during halftime, Mic Gillet and Skip Mesquite would stand up and play a horn solo - no amplifiers no P.A. system - and the entire stadium would go quiet to listen. This was pre TOP. Pretty amazing.
I was fortunate enough see these guys twice in Toronto in the 70's The second time I got to sit with "The Dr" in his dressing room and watch him warm up AWESOME !
I saw Tower of Power many times in the late 70s! The Aint Nothin Stoppin Us Now Tour was my favorite! I saw them at many small clubs and venues throughout So Califas!!
One of the greatest American Bands EVER. 40 plus years and still Smoking!! Just saw them this Summer, haven't lost a beat since I 1st saw them 40 years ago!!!
Carlos is out of his element.....and it shows. He was however, able to pick up the best organ player he could ever hope to have! I love Santana, and have for the better part of fifty years, it's just a different groove than he's used to. 🤘
Their all from the same musical neighborhood Fillmore West San Francisco War Sly & Family Stone... the Fillmore East with Allman Brothers ,Blood Sweat & Tears Chicago go to LA Hollywood CS&N Byrds, Mommas & Pappas .. demographically they all rubbed off on each other ✌🏽❤️🎸
Best concert I ever saw in my life was Huey Lewis & The News with the Tower Of Power horns. 'Sports', 'Fore!' and 'Small World' tour.. each time I saw these guys together I was struck away. During the 'Sports' tour (saw them twice on that tour) Huey even sang the TOP classic: 'You're Still A Young Man'. God, did he do the song justice! Great vocalist and all the guys in the band even kneeled during the 'down on my knees' line. In true Tower Of Power fashion!
I've been looking a long time for a live version of Squib Cakes with CT on the B3. Talk about a kick ass groove! Having Carlos Santana in the mix is a nice bonus. Thanks for posting this!
Saw them years ago at the Orfiam theater in Boston was in the balcony section, thought it was going to collapse from the people's feet stomping! What a great time back in the day! 65years old today and still loving the band!
The amazing thing of all the amazing things about TOP is that there is no one who isn't amazing in their own right. All top notch. They are all so sharp and precise that it is unequalled it pop music history. Precision is the operative word I think.
Yeah. I felt bad for Carlos. He normally knocks it out of the park. And that song's chord progression during his solo must be in a key he doesn't play comfortably in because it should have been a slam-dunk. Everybody has an off night now and then.
Haven't seen Carlos try so hard to find his way before..well, maybe once when he came up on stage at a Prince concert and Prince handed him his guitar. Sheila E. didn't look too at ease with his performance either, now that I think about it. Tower of Power..appropriately named!! Thanks for upload!
...and he brought Henry Jefferson with him. What a line up! I'm glad this has been captured for us to enjoy as there may never be another chance to catch anything so marvelous again. The sound is brilliant, infectious and it is for certain that all the players knew this was a once in a lifetime gig.
I have been listening to Tower of Power since high school in the 1970''s and love them. One of my all-time favourites. But I don't know about the rock and roll hall of fame. To me, they would be more jazz artists. They do however deserve recognition for both the talent and longevity! Some of the best talent out there in my opinion.
have to agree with you here.When you say Carlos Santana the word 'funk' isn't the next think that comes to your mind. And before any of you Santana idolizers go to bashin' I'll guarantee I've seen Carlos play in Hawaii alone more times than most of you have ever seen him play live period so leave your comments at home please.
Amazing solo by CT. Still an enigma when ripping and stripping chords. Nobody does it like that for Tower Of Power. CT just delivers and brings everyone into sync even when it doesn't sound like syncopation! He's still my favorite.
Carlos does not blend with this kind of music. He naturally puts a Latin feel on most everything he does on guitar. ..NOTHING wrong with that but, he simply is out of his element here.
Rufus Miller (RIP) - the funkiest, and in some parts hardest to understand, vocalist they have had, on East Bay Grease. An astonishingly tight and talented set of players delivered an album with downer lyrics about tragedy, drug use, and broken romances, but such amAZING playing. Art.
This the jam that should be put on spacecraft, sent thru the galaxy to speak for planet earth !😎....chester thompson's grin painted on front of the craft 🇺🇸
@@tocolormemucsic44 ya know Bill Jenkins,, after playing this again, I kinda have to agree with you. Somewhat derivative of Bruce Conte's original solo, which was nothing special. HOWEVER, great cut, Chester rocked, Tom Politzer was doing his best Lenny Pickett and DG proving again he is the greatest pocket drummer ever. Git tix to see Santana at ny local Big Summer Shed, furst time in a decade. I hope he shows me something! He used to bring me to spiritual places.
My father was a fantastic jazz bassist, had some funny expressions about players and music...... I can hear him while watching this "that organ player should be arrested for playing like that!!". A favorite one of his, though, was "music like this shouldn't be legal!!!"...... referring to exhilaration, euphoria, other such pleasures :) A former Santana band percussionist and I lived together several years ago..... he got a kick out of me saying---while watching the Sacred Fire tour video---"that is the happiest man alive......" He quite agreed. And unless you're in the right spot at a show to see what's happening, his feet are busy on bass lines as well. Some players actually inspire me to think I was lucky to have lived in a time to have experienced what they give and say with their talent...... this band qualifies from A-Z :) My mom took me to see them at Ram's Head On Stage in Annapolis, first time ever for me about 2 years ago...... she's 82, I'm 58. Awe-inspiring live shows. EyeofEdge thanks for sharing this.
Cheers to you too dear and speaking of focus, ..that is a great suggestion! ..I will apply the power of focus to my daily efforts and to my music as well.
I love how Garabaldi pushed the tempo, (to keep the energy up at some crucial points?) so if you compare the beginning middle and end it’s a nice ramp-up. Maybe he’d been playing with the afrocubans and Brazillians that it rubbed off, that tempo rise thing that’s in virtually all live, non click track, African rooted music.
I know it's not for everybody, but there hasn't been a time that these couldn't put a smile on my face
I grew up in the 60s and had a son (now 50 yrs old) . My late brother , Tony ,was a phenomenal musician and played in bands back then (lead guitarist and also played upright Bass) any way my brother was babysitting for me one day ,and when I came home my son at 2 years old (couldn't pronounce his uncle's name so he called him 'uncle Toy' ) was demanding that my brother play( "Squib Cakes" uncle Toy, ) for him.

Chester Thompson killing that Hammond! Baddest keyboard player EVER! TOWER OF POWER FOREVER BABY!
He's been with them forever... I love him, too but there are some cats that blow him away- not that this is competition...
Consistently (over 50 years) the best live band I've ever seen. TOP never disappoints. I've seen many others mentioned here (big names) have bad nights but these guys ALWAYS deliver. Great ensemble and leadership from Emilio Castillo.
Yes absolutely ❤
The Baddest Horn Section in All of Funk & Rhythm and Blues...PERIOD !!!
Altro pianeta..........
No chef in the world can cook like Chester, Rocco and David. They're in a league of their own.
sadly, "were"
Without a doubt, Tower of Power had the tightest rhythm section, the most phenomenal horn section and their vocals wasn't too shabby either. They had it all including some awesome tunes.
You've must never heard of the Horney Horns James Brown, Brass Construction, EWF, LTD and a couple more horn sections. TP IS GOOD THOUGH.
HAS. Still touring and recording.
@@kirksledge310 always some has to do this shade throwing.
Just stop.
@@kirksledge310 Happen to agree. Also thought Earth Win & Fire had a tight rhythm also.
Oh, come on! TOP is the best ever funk horn band on the planet. They continued what James Brown started. Who will take TOP’s place?

What Santana does is this...
Whatever he wants..he has earned it...he grooved according to Santana...just being himself.....loved it
i was thinking the same thing lol😁
CS is undeniable as a guitarist, but he is absolutely one dimensional. He looks extremely uncomfortable trying to mete out a decent solo.
Santana's solo was excellent. HE ISNT FAMILIAR WITH THE SONG for crying out loud. After he got into the groove, he was fine.
SANTANA, CARLOS...asked Bill Graham to have ToP be the opening act at Fillmore West, when they 1st played there back in the late '60s!!
Rocco + Garibaldi = perfect funk groove
the italian soul patrol ( with conte)
Sad that Rocco (RIP)/Garabaldi (retired) era has passed - But Da Funk Lives On!!!!!
Greatest band of all time. I've seen them 54 times
WHAT????
squib cakes is the booty... love this groove old school 4ever....chester is legend..

and it's just him and David, on his solo, no bass, he's playing the bass, no guitar, just Chester and David

TOP is great, but "Funkiest band that ever walked the face of the earth."? President (George) Clinton might differ on that.
@@zeruchofficial Seen both, TOP in the 70's, GC last year. Personal view, no contest, TOP have it by a mile.
Best horn section in the west coast,I love to hear the funky doctor, he makes that band go man he's funky and Emilio Castillo best rb soul jazz funk group in the land hats off to them never be another band like them
As James Brown said...."Good God!" This is on another level.
One of my all time favorite bands since I was a preteen!
Rocco,Chester and David are in rare form in this video! The horns are over the top as well! The rest of the band including Carlos are just trying to hang in! Awesome!
Rest in peace Mic Gillette. One Badass horn player!
Been following them since 1972 when i was the tender age of 17..

Santana can't hang to funky for him,,would love to see Jeff Beck jam with tower of power ,Jeff beck can be so funky and so creative
No.
Exemplary performance by the masters of groove. Tremendous drive always pushing the funk. Outstanding soloists.
The best band in the biz since 1968 and still as vital as ever you just gotta love them these guys are my biggest heroes that's for sure!!
For a treat, listen to the original recording and catch Mic Gillette's french horn solo.

Best concert I ever saw in my life, by far was Little Feat with the Tower of Power Horn section. Baltimore, 1978.

Who doesn't love 'Squib Cakes'???
I can eat Squib Cakes all nite long!
Another one of my fav bands Tower of power, they back in da days we use to listen to thier music on stereo system and the turn tables lol
Saw them years ago at the Orfiam theater in Boston was in the balcony section, thought it was going to collapse from the people's feet stomping! What a great time back in the day! 65years old today and still loving the band!

BEST version of this song I've ever heard.
DANG!!!
Tightness.
Just the best....please watch ALL..............
David Garibaldi is way underrated. You never hear about him.
MrMarkpark u so right..
+El Guapo Drummers know him. A legend.
+El Guapo yeah, by the public...but ass kick drummer worldwide salute him, and he knows that...close enough ! haha...
El Guapo He's my favorite drummer. I'm a keyboardist. So he could be called a musicians' musician.
That's O.K. He's a musician's musician- Class A. (His YT instruction vid begins to show his dedication to his instrument)
wow Chester Thompson is THE funkiest organ player in the world - thanks for sharing this!
Breathtaking musicianship AND arranging.
I had to go back to the beginning because I just couldn’t believe my ears! Wow TOP
Pure, true talent. Goes to show the bands from the 70's are still the best bands now
I had the pleasure of seeing them in concert three times. They never disappointed.
Santana cant solo to this stuff!!
yeah he be tryin to sound like bruce but he eats it
Not his bag, but he's still a master in his own right.
And then the sax player immediately kills it.
Yeah. I felt bad for Carlos. He normally knocks it out of the park. And that song's chord progression during his solo must be in a key he doesn't play comfortably in because it should have been a slam-dunk. Everybody has an off night now and then.
correct
Saw them live many times in Las Vegas when I lived there and was a Casino Host. They blew the show room apart. The Suncoast ...
Это то, что надо людям, сидящим дома, не возможно усидеть на месте и начать танцевать! Классно!
Funkiest band on earth for sure. Now for more than 40 years on stage. What a precise horn section!! And nothing beats the sound of a Hammond P3.....
Haven't seen Carlos try so hard to find his way before..well, maybe once when he came up on stage at a Prince concert and Prince handed him his guitar. Sheila E. didn't look too at ease with his performance either, now that I think about it. Tower of Power..appropriately named!! Thanks for upload!
One of the BADDEST rock/jazz bands ever assembled! Miss Lenny Williams on vocals.
Virtuoso's abound in this band....Chester Thompson, David Garibaldi, Tom Politzer, Rocco Prestia....c'mon - there are none finer than these.!!!
...and he brought Henry Jefferson with him. What a line up! I'm glad this has been captured for us to enjoy as there may never be another chance to catch anything so marvelous again.

OK Mr. Mike, I think everyone knows what you think about this...
This is such a great performance. The musicianship is simply not of this planet.

Excellent,,these guys been around a long time,,,
oh my god ! what a groovy band. Probably the best in this genre. Can't stop to listen it.
Carlos does not blend with this kind of music. He naturally puts a Latin feel on most everything he does on guitar. ..NOTHING wrong with that but, he simply is out of his element here.
These guys are spot on, I wondered where they had gone.
Tower of Power has been blessed with some absolute powerhouse vocalists but damn, when they stretch out on their instrumentals...
My Favorite Band ! Wwwwooooowwww
Tight tight tight!!! As always!
FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hammond B3 is the sound you hear driving your "65 convertible coupe Deville through the pearly gates.🥰

Tower of Power is an amazing band
I wanna hear this all days & nites long
