What Is Hip: Live at Iowa State University [DVD]

This DVD features Tower of Power live in concert at Iowa State University circa 1987. The world-renowned horn-driven funk outfit has been issuing albums and touring the world steadily since the early 70's when the album Bump City lit the fuse to a string of classic hit releases, including "What Is Hip'", Back to Oakland, Urban Renewal and In the Slot, Ain't Nothin' Stoppin' Us Now, Live and in Living Color as well as backing up a host of superstars including Elton John, Santana, Bonnie Raitt, Huey Lewis, Little Feat, David Sanborn, Michelle Shocked, Paula Abdul, Aaron Neville, Aerosmith, Michael Bolton, Billy Preston, PiL, Rod Stewart and Toto. Nonetheless, Tower of Power's tighter than a clenched fist, horn driven, in-your-face sound is all their own and they have always been a must-see live act. Here's proof!

This hard hitting release from the samurai anime series Buso Renkin includes 13 episodes of the show, following the story of alchemists Kazuki and Tokiko, who wage war against a race of homunculi, led by an evil overlord.
