Was at this show. It was hot as Hades but TOP played like it was still the 70's my era. Great brass and percussion as usual. Still jammin after all these years.
@@peterantunes1153 Your more than welcome. Is it true that you're from North Dartmouth MA? I googled your name and there was an article from 1997 from the local paper "South Coast Today" or something along those lines and it had an article with your name as a drummer from the local high school. Anyway, if you are, I'm right down the road in Fall River. You're the perfect guy to fill DG's chair. I saw my first show in 1973 and I haven't stopped since. Time flies and welcome to ToP!
@@alcambrola2834 😂😂 That’s amazing!!! That’s me from Dartmouth. I’ve still got a bunch of friends out in Fall River. One of which, in particular, is Todd and Tammy from TJ’s music shop on main st. I don’t even think that he knows that I got the gig yet! 😂 I worked there for a while back in the day and actually ordered that Tama kit that I was playing through him.
@@peterantunes1153 Small world. TJ's music back in the 60's and 70's was Al Rainones music. At 12, I started trumpet lessons there and played in the high school bands and that's about as far as I went with it. I go by there all the time because my favorite Chinese restaurant "Number One" is right next door in a little strip mall along with a Dominoes. These days, I sing a little Karaoke and actually do "Down to The Nightclub."-lol
NO GARIBALDI? REALLY, HOPEFULLY NOT ... but, as a drummer, i gotta admit this new guy is FANTASTIC - he holds it down very similar to DG David. I agree, the lead singer is paramount to the TOP tradition. This young dude is not a worthy resplacement to Lenny Williams and the others in the past. But, he's young and i give him credit for attempting to do the TOP vocal gig. Soul Brothers are usually the best lead singers in the TOP -- until yall find the young soul bruh singer, keep the young man lead singer. He's doing well, for right now !!!! young singer's vocal chops are a bit too girly - too high of a pitch, or something like that - at least he knows his lyrics.
You are on point regarding the new drummer. David G. is a legend. I really like Jordan the new singer, the two guys prior to Jordan did not fit my ear, and apparently , Mimi. Ray Greene has been a great Designated Singer. The rest of the guys are always tight. Go TP
carlton, google prakash john , the lil kids dad, and see if his resume is good enough 4 u. and check out jordan johns solo discs. he's just what TOP needs at this point in time.
Can’t wait to see you on Dec 7th!! There’s going to be a partay 🎉❤
Just saw TOP in June 2024 in Bethesda, Maryland. The crowd was insanely appreciative.❤️❤️🎵🎵
I can absolutely see why.
Didn’t they sing their old songs?
Tower still got the POWER still jamming 50+ years how many bands from that era is still kicking IT keep on doing IT. T😊P keep bringing on .🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

@dong4702 Yes,I was dripping sweat in there.But,yeah,TOP had me at "Squib Cakes".

@@peterantunes1153 Sounds really great, Davids place is in good hands
I liked the singer on their 50th anniversary special on PBS much more than this guy.
"And brand new to the TOP rhythm section ........." What, does that mean no more David Garibaldi????
The kid sounds OK, the guitar playing not bad, needs to work on his singing, tho this is only a snippet of a show to watch; we'll see.

Go TP
Band sounds great! They need to ditch the lil kid sangin. His parents wernt even born when those TP songs came out.
carlton, google prakash john , the lil kids dad, and see if his resume is good enough 4 u. and check out jordan johns solo discs. he's just what TOP needs at this point in time.
@@joeymyopiclmao. Nailed it
What's wrong with his singing?
The "kid" (Jordan Johns) plays drums, keyboards , guitar & sings. And he is very good at them all.
Yes, stop with the kids singing please , this is an adult , bringing back the memories venue!!
