Tower of Power - LIVE In Sacramento, Ca. 1971

The first time I heard this album, I thought I was inside the Memorial Auditorium itself. I was in a barracks overseas, while in the Navy, and I remember the room I was in had four BOSE 501 speakers hooked-up to a Four-Channel, Sansui QRX-5500 receiver, and I was playing spades while it was raining buckets outside.

The sound was incredible to say the least, and upon my friend recording this album, I couldn't wait to put the album on a second time and listen to the recorded results through his Teac 3340 Reel to Reel, and to my surprise, it was just as good as the first time, and maybe a bit better.

This album represents the real Tower of Power, in their raw and early days. The solos on this album are just awesome. It is highly recommended.

- I really don't know much about the formation of this band, I actually bought the album initially for the cover, which is designed out of the master reel to reel layout. It is an artistically clever idea. Overall, this is actually not a bad album to hear at least one time. It's got a lot of horns and has a an early 60's to 70's feel to it. "Can You Help Me", is the best track on the album, in my opinion.

- The following album is as you have probably guessed, a collection of songs by various artists, and they are all at some type or another, great tunes, and are worth a listen. You will note some early arrivals in the tracklist. Bob Seger, was a young Detroit rocker, singlin' the Blues, and The Son's were missing there Champlin.
