This CD is AWESOME! Tower of power is the best live band. I've seen them live, and they are awesome. Lenny Pickett's 10 minute solo is amazing! I think this is Tower of Power's best CD.

5 out of 5 stars The Tower Does It Best On Stage.......2003-09-18

The first Tower Of Power recording this reveiwer ever
listened to is still the best! One of the tightest Soul bands
to ever hit the stage proved their virtuoso chops with a fan-
tastic concert.
TOP was always known for having the "best horn section in
the business (to quote Paul Shaffer of Letterman fame)", but
the rhythm section has to get its props, too.
Arranger/trumpeter Greg Adams has a great solo on "What Is
Hip?", using his microphone as a mute, and lead trumpeter Mic
Gillette shows off his steely trumpet sound on the intro to
"You're Still a Young Man". Guitarist Bruce Conte thrills con-
stantly and his vocal on "Sparkling in the Sand" makes one won-
der why he wasn't featured more often as a singer.
The 23-plus minute "Knock Yourself Out" features a very
long but very inventive Lenny Pickett tenor solo, plus shorter
solos by the rest of the horns, including guest trumpeter Bill
Lamb. Organist Chester Thompson essays a funky solo using his
Clavinet and the ARP string synthesizer, backed by Conte, bassist extraordinaire Francis Rocco Prestia and one of the
best funk drummers, David Garibaldi.
This CD is a fine introduction to the sound of Tower Of
Power.

5 out of 5 stars THE Best "Live" album........Period!.......2003-09-14

I first heard this album in 1977...lemme tell you, finding good funk and soul up in Maine at that time wasn't easy! But as soon as I heard the band tear into "Down to the Nightclub", my ears opened like a parachute. I then proceeded to wear that album out playing it for my friends, who then demanded multiple listenings. We were all music majors in college by the way. This recording stands only with 1 other "live" album...that being "Waiting For Colombus" by Little Feat (that features the TOP Horns BTW).....as THE best live album you will hear, and the best representation of TOP you can get. Almost all of their albums stand out on the frontline of funk and soul, but this is the one to get if'n you can get only one. Monster horns, a rhythm section that locks it up tight, and Hubert Tubbs cooks it all down to a bubbling pot of steaming funk-gumbo that if you aren't stomping your feet by the 3rd cut....you're six-by-six brother!! And this features THE definitive cut of "What Is Hip" BTW........

5 out of 5 stars Simply put, THE GREATEST LIVE ALBUM EVER!!!!!.......2003-08-21

When I first heard this cd in 1991, I was on a road trip with a bunch of my college friends. It quickly became a staple of my traveling cd collection for the car and continues to be there even today. I would tend to disagree with the gentleman from St. Louis that said this was the 2nd best TOP lineup ever, putting the lineup from "Tower Of Power" to "Urban Renewal" at the top. I would reverse those since this particular cd and "In the Slot" are my #1 and #2 favorite TOP discs (the Lenny Williams-led discs being 3, 4, and 5 respectively.) This reminds me a lot of Billy Joel's "Songs In The Attic" in that it is material that while sounding adequate in the studio(What Is Hip being the exception), just ABSOLUTELY BURNS live. From the opening sounds of "Down To The Nightclub" to the raw force of the AMAZING TOP horn section in their greatest lineup ever in "You're Still A Young Man." The version of "What Is Hip" is faster and every bit as fantastic as the studio version on the aforementioned "Tower of Power." While I do enjoy the version of "Sparkling In The Sand" with the fabulous trumpet work of Mic Gillete, I almost wish they would've put something different on this album, maybe "Soul Vaccination" or "On The Serious Side." I'm not complaining though. They definately save the best for last with the 23:07 version of "Knock Yourself Out." Lenny Pickett comes in with an amazing sax solo that makes you feel as if you've gone 15 rounds with the heavyweight champ of the world only to have the organ/bass pedal solo by Chester Thompson say "Uh uh, you got one more round to go." The key to the whole band are the anchors: Rocco Prestia on bass, and David Garibaldi on drums. Its great to see that these two are back in good health (Prestia) and in the band (Garibaldi) If you only buy one TOP cd....buy this one first and you'll be hooked forever.

Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars What have they done to you, Carl Kolchak???.......2006-02-28

The "Kolchak - The Night Stalker" theme is also a re-recording and a pale imitation at that. The guy didn't even whistle the right tune. Where - where, I ask - is the love for Carl Kolchak?

The "Night Gallery" theme is pretty kickin' though.

3 out of 5 stars WARNING: Be sure you get the volume with 65 songs,.......2005-05-03

Although most of the songs on this CD are worth the purchase price, and great memories, the version I received only has 59 songs, not the 65 listed on Amazon.com
For the record the missing "Tunes" (Bar code 6 10535-68032 7) are, Stingray, Thunderbirds,Chico and the Man, Tom Jones Show, (Its not unusual) and Happening 68. Not enough to return it, but certainly somthing you should know.

I had purchased the CD for such themes as Emergency, High Chaparral, Night Gallery and Felony squad. I cannot tell after the all the years if these are originals or copies, but they are good enough to bring back memories.

If you are purchasing the CD for liner notes which tell you about the music, forget it. It does list artist for some, Author for some, but the scant notes are a one paragraph note about the show. A bit dissapointing.

1 out of 5 stars Where is the disclaimer that these are NOT originals?.......2005-01-09

Most of these are re-renditions of the originals. Many people upon hearing these recordings are going to be very disappointed if they remember the original theme.

This CD deserves zero stars. OR, at least a disclaimer somewhere that these are not original pieces.

4 out of 5 stars Fan-rific!.......2004-11-24

This CD features 65 more theme songs from old TV shows. Most of the best known shows were already featured on previous volumes, so there are many shows here that aren't that well known. So, since there are several themes here for shows I have never seen, it doesn't have as much nostalgia value for me as the older volumes have. However, unlike the earlier albums, which featured rerecordings of most of the themes, almost all of the themes here are the original versions. (The only rerecordings here are "Family Affair", "Let's Make a Deal", "Gentle Ben", "The High Chaparral", "The Big Valley" and "Masterpiece Theatre".) Fans of old TV shows should enjoy this CD.

5 out of 5 stars "The Men from Shiloh"? Now, that's a rarity!.......2002-07-29

For those that don't know, the last year of NBC's long-running western was reworked becoming "The Men from Shiloh", new ranch owner, a few new faces, and a dynamic theme by Ennio Morricone that replaced the more familiar one by Percy Faith.

If you know that little bit of fluff, as well as remember "This is Tom Jones" or "Judd for the Defense" or "Superchicken", then this is the disc for you.

If you don't, then give it to your 40-something uncle!

      5 out of 5 stars Awesome!.......2001-06-12

      I saw this video and I was overwhelmed with great emotion. Melvin truly carries the tradional gospel music to another level. He starts out with "Great Day, when Jesus Comes." Then he knocks your socks off with Harvey Watkins, Jr. and "Be with me Jesus!" Now if you have been raised up on quartet music, you know this song. It was awesome. Then Melvin and Jr. Watkins sings, "Won't be no storm always." Now that song, O my God, that song is awesome. The video just gets better. If you don't have it buy it. My Mom passed away in December, I am buying this videon for my Father, who used be in several quartets. If you are going through some difficult times I recommend this video to you. "It won't be no storms always," will encourage you. Thanks Melvin!
