Only Lenny Pickett and CT get it. Everyone else is just trying too hard and they're not bad, they're just not great. Really fun to see Chester and Lenny together, because they're just on the same page in the book of funk. Thank Doc and Mimi for that
This was one of my best groups of funk and groove from the Tower of Power band back in the day! Talk about funky organ bass and chords! I’ve not heard one like my man Chester! My true idol growing up! Great seeing him and Lenny Pickett! Nothing but that “Tower of Power” sound! I love it!
I had never known who CT was until recently when he was featured at a Tribute to Larry Young who played the organ also. Well Mr Chester burned the house down!@! Remarkable musician!!
I believe you are both correct. Being humble enough and wise and enough to defer to the entire song and other musicians is an amazing quality that is oft times missing.
As a longtime drummer and true fan of Tower Of Power, I have seen them back in the day with the Original Members, even when they went through several Lead Singers. To this day, T.O.P. is high on the list, as - One of my favorite Groups. Ron on drums, is doing his thing and keeping the pocket groove. However, I kinda wish that David Garibaldi was a part of this group. LP, CT & DG, Original Groove Pushing Playing T.O.P. Alumni!!
wow...Wiley gives a dramatic solo in a style of conversation with pulling, grinding, kneading, screeching, howling, begging, and in doing so took us around the universe and back...look out..aliens you can find what you are looking for here..
Barry Finnerty killing it. Yeah man. Sounds like Ronnie Beck is playing with paint brushes.... Man, produce some sound & energy with the rest of the cats.

you are a real idiot if you really believe that!

Couldn't agree more with you more brotha!!!!

that smile plastered on drummer Ron E. Beck's face tells it all..!! What a groove.!!
Humble Chester Thompson lets everyone else have their solos then does a phenomenal job on his! Great drumming!
It's not about being humble. It's about how the music is composed in an instrumental piece of music

Excellent observation

You made fall off my chair with that line.

the hotness alll nite long folks
YES, INDEED!!
in the dictionary under heavy Groove should be this video
should be titled "wiley waxes picket"
Barry? Always a hard working guy. Squeaky Kazoo Sax solo. Ruff stuff. Chester is the only thing happening.
CT is the man as always but that drummer needs to go take some lessons.... from Mr. Garibaldi.
OK he only recorded 2 albums with TOP and various other artists. Tight player.
u a f^%k'n idiot
