The liberal Crooks & Liars video blog has lately been posting a number of live performance musical videos. One of the best so far is Tower of Power performing What Is Hip?, posted just last night. The link is to a webpage and it loads very slowly, but it's soooooo well worth it. I promise you won't be disappointed. The horns will absolutely blow you away! Just click the link at C&L and go do something else for a while. When you start the video, be sure to crank the sound up LOUD! |

Tower of Power is great live. I've seen them at Mohegan Sun where they play free shows a couple of times per year. Even if you're are not into Jazzy funk (maybe the best way to describe their sound), you'll be impressed by what they can do.

Yeah, that might be the best way to describe it. I saw them live once about 10 years ago. I think it was at Jubilee Jam, a Jackson street festival.
Did you watch the video? Most concert video clips are just mediocre versions of studio hits but this one is downright superb!

I did watch it. Great performance.
You're right about taking so long. After 20 minutes, I even left the house to get lunch at Quiznos, and by the time I came home, it was finally ready.
