If someone had never heard or seen TOP this would be the first video that I would show them and they would know why TOP is the best Soul band of all time. They have been playing for many decades and they only get better with age.

You can't get much tighter than this. I could listen to this all day!

Garibaldi locks that groove down so tight!

THIS BAND IS SO GOOD IT HURTS, THEY ARE A NATIONAL TREASURE !!!!!

... simply aliens... David & Rocco are from another planet... ❤️

Agreed!

Do yourself a favor and catch this band live! It will tire you out, but it's well worth it. It's a damn shame they're not in the Rock N Roll HOF but then again it's not like they've been making sick music for 43 years or anything...

Larry Braggs is undoubtedly the best front man TOP has ever had! Roger Smith is a monster on the B3!! God, I love this band!!!!

You are spot on with that comment! Monsters of music.....

the fact that just 3 people are capable of disliking this makes me want to cry for all of humanity!

Here's a crime; TP hasn't been inducted to the R.R. Hall of Fame. Unforgivable.

Tower of power still so cool

❤ They knocked it out the ball park

I saw my first T.O.P show last Friday night and all I can say is WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!

3:18 one of the best moments in American music

please get Larry Braggs back. There’s magic at its best

The Best Band on earth

Instant mood elevator!

My favorite TOP songs, and one of the HOTTEST versions ever!! TOP RULES!!!!!!

Waay too much FUNK on this tune!! Larry Braggs! OMG!! David Garibaldi STILL funkin with dat Oakland Stroke! And of course, The mighty, mighty T.O.P. Horns blowin away the competition!!

If someone had never seen a TOP performance I would show them this particular video. Then they could see why TOP is the top live performance funk/soul band ever. Just Saying!

This is some genuine, greasy SOUL, right here from the best to ever do it. Doc was right, they do need a "bottom."

My friend's band opened for ToP in 2006, got to rap w/Garibaldi (we're both drummers w/a mutual friend)...terrific guy

Excellent!

A JAM band to the MAX!

Saw them at The Whiskey A GoGo on Sunset in L.A., must have been '72/3 - In a small club about 5 feet from the stage was devastating!!!

RIP Rocco. He was one of the best bass players ever. I`ve seen this concert in Leverkusen live. I`ll never forget it. It was absolutely awesome !

larry braggs .- voice of TOP .- GRANDISSIMO

Saw these guys back in the day and a couple times since..what a killer band! not to insult todays music..because it is so very easy..THIS is a BAND full of talented musicians who ALSO sing and bust a move. Their singing, harmonizing is as tight as their instrumentals..if you have the opportunity to see these guys..DO NOT PASS IT UP!!!

Amazing!!!! :D

Just like the Hey Day.- Super !

Mr Smith on keys is really "stankin it up" : )

I like that rendition,Super !

One word. Burning!

Good Sounds and Good Music ... Rock and Soul ...

INCREDIBLE!

WICKED!!! Yo

They should have been recognized years ago as the tightest small bsnd to ever come, along

@woolters Here's a black thumbs up (^) because the green one isn't big enough.

@BertAtkinson91 Oh Yeah :-D

DA-SEEEE....

すぐぉいの一言！

stop whining about the audience. They're German, they show their appreciation in different ways, not by meaningless shouting and whooping every 4 seconds. They have the greatest time in their life, but they'll give you a balanced review afterwards. It's a cultural difference. Get used to it.

woolters - Hawaii audiences used to be that way - sit in your seat - be polite for the people round you- and just be in amazement of the TOP -now there those clowns who stand up and gotta dance - blocking everyones view!! Have a heart attack!! And go away!!

How is there 0 views but a lot of likes lol

What key's this in?

Obviously he's complimenting them.

No! It's a weapon to resurrect people!

Obviously you've never seen them live
