Get out your red zimmer, baby, you're going out to dance. Well, what can you say? This wasn't so much a gig as a full on souled-out TOP festival with, literally, strings attached. With the band on Oakland home turf, this was always going to be a raucous belter and it doesn't disappoint. You'd better lay in salt tablets and a physio, because the DVD alone weighs in at two and half hours, plus of course the two CDs if you don't want to watch gentlemen of a certain age strutting their funky stuff. That said, the gyrations of Castillo, Pickett and co. deserve a ‘We are not worthy’ accolade. It's pointless comparing to former line ups, and fans will all have their favourite eras (of course there's no Lenny Williams vox or Greg Adams trumpet from those heady early days). Most of the hip hits are there to savour: ‘So Very Hard to Go’, ‘Don't Change Horses, ‘What Is Hip?’, all roogalate raffishly. And of course there's no avoiding the curiously appropriate ‘You're Still a Young Man’. There's also a good swathe of cuts from their then latest release, Soul Side of Town that itself proved this band 50 years young.
