Studio and live performances of Tower of Power, playing their instrumental, "Squib Cakes". Been doing this one a lot, for a cover band I am in, playing guitar, that plays lots of horn driven R&B and funk, and this tune, is part of the repertoire. Dig it. Be aware, the Hammond B3 solos in the studio and live versions, are fantastic. Dig the horns. But, in my book, the guitar solo on the studio record, is superior, to the live track, also included here. Credits for the studio track are:
