OMG!!!!!A Great band no matter where they are!!!!!!
My mom played TOP religiously when I was growing up, and I have the best memories dancing & singing in the front row as a little kid! Tom Bowes was my first crush. Still love these guys, they’re legendary ❤
T .BOWES NAILED ALL THE SONGS SLOW FAST SANG WITH HIS HEART AND SOUL❤❤❤💋💋
I've seen this great band 5 times in 50 years. First time when they opened up for Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1972 in San Antonio, Texas. The NEVER dissapoint when they take the stage. RIP Steven K.
One of my favourite Vocalist...!!!
TOP is the Best...!!!
The band was at their absolute best here. Horns in particular.
RIP Rocco
greatest soul band in the word you guys have the greatest musicians that ever lived thank you Emilio Castillo for sharing you music with me and the word and tom bowes vocals are spot on thanks for you're funky and soulful voice God bless TOWER OF POWER
Как они могут столько играть на память, я имею ввиду духовиков!
I was 16 years old and went to see this w/ my band buddies from high school. We sat through all that rain and were even tempted to leave before TOP took the stage. Boy am I glad we didn't! Seeing this concert is probably one of the reasons I continued playing trumpet into adulthood.
Blow Chief! Keep on playing. Music is therapy.
Thank you so much for posting this absolute classic performance. Tom Bowes is utterly transcendent. What a voice. What a band. We will never see their like again. How blessed we are to have had them. A stage crammed full of outstanding talent and virtuosity.

Larry Braggs and Tom Bowes are my two favorite singers with TOP, I was very fortunate to be able to see them about 3 times a year in the city i live in. Mostly summer concerts back from 70s thru early 90s. I saw them with Bowes a lot. One of the best bands ever.
Amazing voice so good on high notes strong. they more Funky then .. with Emilio and Greg on vocals too.. great sounds good drummer
T.Bowes amazing vocal range and HARD WORK SINGER HAD TO STRETCHED THE VOCAL CHORDA FOR 1 FULL HOUR.. GREAT WORK.. ..AMAZING..
P.A SYSTEM AMAZING THOSE DAYS .. SO CLEAR AND CRISP CAN HEAR EVERYTHING..
Tom Bowles sure brought so much energy to the this talented group. I heard them live many times, and Tom Bowles made them special. The horns are awesome!
Can you imagine having Tom Bowes with the Band right after Hubert Tubbs Left the Band.
Led Thornberg did a great job after Mic Gillette Left the Band, but Lee didn't Play Trombone. And nobody Played Mic's Chair like him ever again. Mic was a Phenomenal Brass Player and we all miss him greatly. Mic was my Mentor and now I am 60 yrs old, what happened?? In 2003 when Mic went on Tour with The Doobie Brothers, I subbed for him with The Sons of Champlin for 3 yrs and I want everyone to know that Mic Gillette did so much for our youth by all of the Clinics that he did and helped to Raise Money for the Band Programs. We need more Mic Gillettes, he was my Brother in law, but really just My Brother..
Tom rocked, could not agree with u more!
@@andrewfuller5836eeeeeeee😅
I’ve followed them for a half century,and I agree,Lenny and Tom will always be the voices of TOP!

Emilio, w/ Doc have a sense of great appreciation for their audience as well as the nucleus of the band members . Thanks TOP.
Tommy Bowes, my favorite ToP singer.
TOM BOWES VERY POWERFUL SINGER FULL OF ENERGY AND HARDWORKING BAND..
OMG what a wonderful performance and line up! The drummer totally nails it! well they all do!
Tom Bowles - yep he brought the TOP back to life. Lee Thornberg on trumpet made it more exciting!! If you got a certain style even it’s kinda wild!!!! What it going be like!!!

Sorry, not T.Bolz, but LARRY BRAGG did.
the best soul band ever no other band can out play TOP
" Funk Feellharmonic" with Tom Bowes does it.
Love toms voice smooth as silk
Brandon Fields rocking the tenor. Nice!!
How marvelous that we can view this...thanks! Smokin' hot, perfectly executed in difficult conditions, refined and flawless.
Nice Harmonies from the HORN MEN AMAZING
A real sunshine here ! love ya ToP !
ROCCO! Mr. drum fingers!!!! All great! Wow...
Tom Bowls 👍 awesome and Emilio 👍 get down brother awesome 👍👏👏👏
I saw the same program in 1992 in"Bottom line" New York. Amazing and unforgettable. One time event ! Never before or after. Gold time of TOP with Tom Bowes !
Glorious!
I have been a huge TOP fan since learning of them in the 80s, but never caught Tom Bowes on LP, CD or live. Really just missed this period of TOP. But thanks to RUclips and seeing this, I am now a huge fan. Damn, his work from 52:11 on thru the end of What is Hip is time vault testimony to inarguably epic monster chops. He is just automatically one cool as hell cat after this bit here. I was so blown away I keep coming back, and its still that amazing. You can tell he delivered all he had and it was so on point.
Tom Bowes hot singer Amazing can sing SLOW AND FAST.. SOUL
The lead tenor player looks like a young Don Menza and plays pretty dang well too!!
I needed this for my attitude today
Time of " Tower of Power" with Tom Bowes is the best time of the band. Great feeling and funk ! Timing is amazing ! All musician is so professional and particular in time !
That and with Lenny!
@@frankrusk6172 DISAGREE! Larry Braggs my all time favorite on lead vocals and Lenny Williams 2nd
@Kim Diez no way, youre too young. I've been a fan for 45 years. The all time top 3
1. Lenny Williams
2. Larry Braggs
3 Tom Bowes
Sorry. Tom Bowes was the best singer TOP ever had. Unbelievable!!
Saw this show at The China Club in Chicago and it was funkified! The Best!!
The VOCAL HARMONIES FROM THE BOYS ALSO GORGEOUS SO COOL..
I saw this line-up at Arizona Charlie's in Vegas and the rhythm section kicked ass.
sorenrules was at that Az Charlie's concert.... Tom Bowes was the best "showman" up front by far!
Been listening to them for over 50 years and they're STILL my favorite Group! ...
Thank you so much for posting this! The sound is so good camera work is good and big shout out to the fans in the rain. Such a really really cool video of a very very tight version of this band.
Spectacular! ❤️🧡💛
Tom Bowes the best vocalist of all time of "Tower of power" history. Incredible timing and vocal diapason and feeling. He is like locomotive what leading all caravan. Unbelievable power ! Master of vocal and timing. Top Bowes is the best !
Tom Bowes is amazing STILL! He brought the band back!
Finding a replacement for Dave Garibaldi can't be easy. This guy they have filling in is perfect
Looks like Gregg Bisonnette to me.
@@miltonshandy Russ McKinnon's solid intricate and syncopated grooves drove what many people call the "funkiest band in the world" ... Tower Of Power. He played with TOP a few years. During his time with them, he played on the album Monster on a Leash 😊🥁🎶
Russ was with t o p 5 years I knew russ and for this lineup he fits in better than David.
This was my favorite lineup. Lots of energy, in the pocket with a rocket. The new lineup in 2023 is tired with a vocalist, well put it this way my shoes had more soul.
The best line up ever...! saw this show Paris Petit Journal... Amazing...!
Claude Gaudefroy If you get a chance, see them now. Ray Greene is great on vox. Miss Dave though... again. Hip replacement... oddly.
+billytheweasel - David is due back in the band November 1st. He sat in on Herman's kit for a number this week.
I bet there will be a buttload of drummers at the upcoming shows. LOL
this is amazing....
Gregs solo, Nick Milo, Carmen, Rocco, ohhh man! Saw them 4 times that summer…. Emilio signed my TOP t shirt.. Still have it…
A mi gusto el mejor vocalista de tower..
Incredible.
Thanks for posting this video! I’ve never seen Tom Bowes live! Cheers from California 🍻
Mimi Steps Out...in Style, with Attitude !! Hungry for all of TOP.
Only The Bowes Knows. (Da Monster Era)
I saw them several times with Tom as lead singer. He was the best they ever had. Brought so much energy.
That energy Tom brought, got them back in the black, when after not having a record deal for over a decade, Columbia Records re-signs them to their Epic label. They release “Monster On A Leash.”
Lee Thornburg = Legend•••• Monster mN Rocks…,
How about those horn staccato 16th note triplets at the end of Funkifize?!
We first saw TOP in Cleveland Ohio at the Agora when they just released East Bay Grease. No one knew who they were, maybe 20 people in the audience. The next time they came back to Cleveland you couldn't get into the club. One of the greatest groups of all time and should be in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. They are real musicians and have "Soul with a capital S."
Tom Bowes; in my opinion the best "showman" fronting TOP....
omg...I remember that summer...it rained all summer but that day was fuck'in great the rain didn't stop us we're from Narragansett right across the east bay I swear you could hear the music from the beach if you listened real close ; )
Omg I was there in pouring rain...soaked to the skin
We were wearing trash bags for raincoats!
Me: Too bad about the rain.
Audience: What rain...???
Have to wonder if TOP is a group who can make it rain? Old Fan over the years. Saw them in Syracuse NY at Jazz Festival. It poured. Did not slow up the audience! Rain Dancers splashing and swinging to the groove.
Emilio Castillo is super singer!
One of best sounds ever. Can't touch it
Tom Bowes is the greatest singer, front man of all time in history of music.
Saw top several times In the 70s
There was an ad just one minute into the video. Insane.
Tight! Brendon Fields !!!
fantasticos baixista toca muiiitoo
This is a good crew for TOP...I miss the original lineup, but these guys brought a fresh energy to the songs.
People on this thread are praising the singer Tom Bowes which he deserves.
But Lenny Williams was great in his day and his unique stylings can't be duplicated but only imitated in my opinion.
I would love to have heard Bowes sing " You're Still a Young Man " in this set.
Brandon Fields is an absolute animal
Woooow jamás imagine que este rolón con el que arranca el evento, sería llevado como cover latino por propio #LuisMiguel wooow... saludos desde #MDI #MundosDigitalesICONO somos #ShowCASES todo un contexto dentro de la #IndustriaMusical de #SigloXXI
Listen to that Snare Drum Russ is playing , it's a Joe Montineri Custom!
Tom Bowes my fav singer for tower of power
حلو
歴代ボーカルみんな上手いですね
I remember they was in Larvik/Norway that year(1992), arranged by Cafe Hansen, with the same members:) It was a rainy day...or was it 93?...
From that thumbnail I thought Ice-T was fronting TOP back in the day.
Tower of power what is hip
legal man
Thanks for sharing. I was at this fest ... incredible. Do you have any other sets from this weekend? Wish they'd release the Tribute to Miles set they did in a torrential downpour.
rosco un master
Hi all, I have a question - is this video edited and shortened from the original show? I was there for this, and I have a VHS of this that I ordered a long time ago. It's the same as this video. My question is this - I swear that I remember them doing "Credit" at that show, but I have not seen it on RUclips. It's not on my VHS and it's not here. Am I imagining things, or was Credit edited out of the final video production for some reason? Was anyone else there and remember that? Am I losing my sanity? LOL Thanks!
Bad Ass cats!!!!!
My favorite vocalist of TOP
are 1st Lenny Willams and Ｔom Bowes😊
Larry Braggs is easily #1 in that list. Braggs had the best pure voice with range and power unmatched.
Im spoiled by the vocals of Larry Braggs they sound good but somethin just aint right somethin missing u been listening to T O P since the early 70s....
Where is Tom Booles now?
Emillio voice too i like growling and funky
Where is Tom Bowws now
lenny white , " nuff said " , the horns and harmonies still sound very good , lenny white blows them all away
Who is Lenny White?
I don't remember Lenny White ever playing with them (certainly thats not him in Newport) I think Lenny was a little too jazz funk fusion for"The Tower"
I think you mean Lenny Williams.....................Lenny White is a drummer who used play with Chic Corea
Nope
I love Nancy Karrigans new gig after ice skating. Her organ skills are killing
Who is the other tenor sax player besides Mimi?
I still think David G is the best drummer in funk!
YOU CAN Add Plenty Of Funken Garabaldi But you Can’t Take The Owner’s Seat Beings David Garibaldis Throne Away He Owened The Title Ever Since the First Funky Beat
Came Out Soul First And The Rest Speaks From His Heart Nothings but S.O.U.L❤
