Tower of Power on Tour
When Tower of Power took the stage at The Fillmore in San Francisco for their 40th anniversary show in 2008, it was as full circle as live music moments get. A recorded introduction by the dearly departed, legendary promoter Bill Graham — who gave the band their big break and signed them to his label in the late '60s — kicked off the energetic musical explosion that Tower of Power have never stopped bringing to the stage. The Tower of Power five-piece horn section, led by founding members Emilio Castillo on tenor sax and Stephen "Doc" Kupka on baritone sax, has been the driving force behind a group with over 60 touring members in its history. The R&B funk and soul revue also features furious percussionists, guitar, keys and more vocal blends than you can imagine. The elite collection of musicians have never stopped touring, and whether at a casino theater or a classic concert hall, a Tower of Power show is always gonna be a kickin' good time. Their Oakland-born sound emerged in 1968, and even after 50 years their shows still manage to feel contemporary.
Tower of Power in Concert
In 1968, Oakland's Emilio Castillo and Stephen "Doc" Kupka formed a band with the goal of playing at San Francisco's iconic Fillmore theater. By 1970, Tower of Power were not only on the stage, but signed to Bill Graham's San Francisco Records for their debut album East Bay Grease. When they moved over to Warner Bros Records in 1972, they started to leave a timeless mark beyond the Bay Area with the release of now-classic albums — Bump City, Tower of Power, Urban Renewal and more. Throughout their 19 albums, including 2018's Soul Side of Town, the band have covered every inch of R&B, soul and funk, constantly evolving and paving the way for many other artists.
These guys are top musicians. They still got it after all these years. They did an amazing job of squib cakes. Best show I've seen them do.
The concert was just awesome and very entertaining. The one disappointment was the band not playing my favorite song You’re still a young man. That would have capped off a perfect evening.
Roads from Houston to Coushatta were either flooded or in the process of flooding, so we decided not to go.
My son and I are both Drummers first time to see them live was Awesome show.
Tower of Power was amazing. So much talent on that stage. I only wish there was room to dance. I had to do it in my seat. Venue was a great location because we made a mini vacation out of the trip and had a blast. We met so many fans that thoroughly enjoyed the show. We made great memories and recalled many more listening to songs we grew up with. Fantastic!
TOP is the best and tightest in the business! Thank you for coming to my home town!
Great concert. Could use more shade. Irritating that the real bathrooms were off-limits to anyone but VIP. The rest of us had to use out houses only. That needs to be changed. But a great concert.
Had a great time! So much fun! Great artist, great atmosphere, great venue. Will definitely be back!
First ever Jazz/Blues Festival in new Murietta amphitheater and park last weekend. Beautiful venue. Sound and light system rivals major concert sites. Add Tower of Power’s long-standing reputation for outstanding rhythm section and horns, and you can imagine what a great concert this was. Will definitely watch for and attend future concerts there.
Brings back memories. Blues, Jazz, R & B should ne yearly. Enjoyed the whole day.
