For years, they toured with a Yamaha S-90, but I'm not sure anymore.

Love TOP !!! If they had more radio hits they'd be in the R&R Hall of Fame. So much better than some of the lame talent that gets in.

That organ setup is the Hammond Pro System with their stand. Not bad for a digital Hammond is it ?? Keyboard on top is probably a Yamaha from what I've seen in other pictures.

In my opinion they were and are one of the best bands ever. Great horn section, rhythm section, and their drummer David Garibaldi is a pioneer of linear funk drumming.

They have always had a small cult following, but sadly aren’t a household name. Maybe they’re just too hip 😎

Looked at it again and can't tell about that upper keyboard. What keybaord has sliders like that? IT also could be the keyboard case is covered in black to hid the name.
That music made my day Thanks !!
