steantval Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) Superb TV last night on the WDR German channel - Rockpalast featuring Tower of Power. Awesome soul/funk band that has been around for over forty years - seriously good bass player. Edited February 21, 2010 by steantval Quote

Some of the bands of that era and genre, had such a great sound and were SO tight. I have almost worn out my "TOP" CD. Anyone Sky+ it? I would love a copy. Quote
CHRISDABASS Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 WHAT A BAND! and what a bass player!! its Rocco isn't it?? Quote

ezbass Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) The TOP Ohne Filter DVD is brilliant, I highly recommend it. Rocco Prestia and David Garibaldi are an amazing rhythm section. Edited February 21, 2010 by ezbass Quote

JonnyB Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 They're supposed to be bringing out a new dvd soon, I think. A concert last year. Rocco Prestia is one of my all time heroes. Quote
