To try to compensate for Doc's absence somewhat, I turned the bass all the way up on my PC. Result? Rocco is killing it! What an absolute talent. I saw T.O.P. 2 weeks ago and they are still strong! 50 years! God bless them!

'As Surely As I Stand Here' on the band's '40th Anniversary' DVD is absolutely sensational. To see the then-current band augmented with past members is like watching a testament to the life of all those great players...what they enjoyed and endured over the decades since first pursuing music. I've watched it dozens of times and it still brings tears to my eyes...especially knowing that since then two of the players, Skip Mesquite and Mic Gillette, are no longer of this world. Cue in around 22:20 for the lead up to 'As Surely...' This whole show is great. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqOrknSVpLKNiqM
