Horn Sections Make Rock Better: Tower of Power medley

I’ve been pretty clear that funk is going to be a part of this ongoing series. In this live broadcast from 1977, you’ll hear the announcer mention that Tower of Power was opening for Santana.

The fashions have certainly changed, but the music blasts right through those hairstyles and bellbottoms.
