Bootsy by far the baddest funk bases ever lived, and the top of the line base.Period .

I wish I had a Time Machine.. I would love see live..The energy of this show would be so amazing.. I born in the year this show was made..Man..Bootsy is a legend so much positivity and passion in his music.. This music is so beautiful

Bootsy teaching us a masterclass in the Funk!!!!

I saw Bootsys Rubberband at Summerfest in Milwaukee back in 1977. I was 13. I thought I had great seats until the concert started and everyone stood up. Couldn't see a damn thing. But this nice guy put me on his shoulders and I had a ball. What an experience. Will never forget that show.

Yes I’m from Milwaukee wow I would’ve loved to be there but I wasn’t born yet my mother was pregnant with me I was born that November

They’ll never be another Bootsy the best. Whoever did it started off with James Brown 18 years old his brother catfish Top of the line

Oh n u can hear James Brown concept that Bootsy displays on stage when he's holding a Beat wit his Right Foot. Man when Bootsy came to George... that's when Parliament/ Funkadelic really really took off!!! When George started doing Character's like Dr. Funkenstien, Sir Noes. Mr. Wiggles. Brides of Funkenstien. Star Child. Dig??? Bootsy is the REAL GENIUS in the Group.

No George Clinton is the real genius he created the image the marketing the promotion the stage production the album art .all of the characters as u remember when Collins left james Brown he came to work for Clinton not the other way around so don't get it twisted

The 1970s were depressing in some ways and totally BADASS in other ways. _THIS_ is the latter.

I saw Bootsy at the old Bulls Chicago Stadium in 1978. I can remember at 13 when my sister and step-sister surprised me. They were always surprising me by taking me to a P-Funk concert. The Funk Festival was the biggest surprise. I still have my tickets to my 1st Bootsy tour, my 1st P-Funk tour, and the Funk Festival Tour. I had no idea that they were taking me to see Bootsy until we pulled to the stadium and saw the marque advertising Bootsy’s Rubber Band - Player of the Year live. I had asthma so guess what, I had a light asthma attack. They were gonna take me home but knowing that the attack went away. 😅 Just like this video, the sound was on point. I had no idea this concert was posted until now. The only thing different is that Boosty was the headliner at the Chicago Stadium concert. I believe the tour was the Player of the Year tour. Mudbone voice blew my mind. He and Robert sounded just like the album but better live. Thank You for this post. Seeing these concerts lets me know that I had a great childhood.

Smashing the cabinets!

If I could go back in time and see any concert, this may very well be the one. These badasses and all the other co-bills that night must have been nothing short of legendary!

Yo this was 1976.. now u can hear the correct music of The Brides of Funkenstien's " Disco To Go " which came out in 1978. Oh n Bootsy wrote that 4 them.

I remember seeing Bootsy's Rubber Band on the bill with Mother's Finest, Parliament-Funkadelic in concert that great concert

Maceo ( Pass the Peas ) Parker was the Ultimate Hype Man. Not to mention that this is a Funk odesey on Acid if nothing else and I’m convinced that no other band nor musicians on earth could this shit off like these cats.

Saw them back n 76/77 w/the PFunk mob n the D(troit)@ the Olympia stadium. Legendary show. Been a Funketer since the beginning 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽Funketer fa life

This is good stuff!!!

I'm so glad I ran across this !😄😄😄

fonky!!

the showmanship is unreal. Bootsy doin his James Brown impression is AWESOME

Sound men my hats off

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow it's 2034 I am checking this out 5:20 am

Q. What is funk? A. 07:52

I've never been truly on board with the seemingly obligatory audience participation angle... True talent doesn't require props and BRB had it in spades. Let the crowd go wild naturally.

Clearly you don't understand that by getting the audience involved gives the artist a greater energy and he gives that energy right back in the form of a greater, energized performance. But if you've never been on stage performing you wouldn't understand it. Peace.

Bootsy is the shit true funkateer

Bootsy on his own or with a few mates just never had the musicality of george and the associated parliafunkadelic thang.

HUH?? The ParliaFunkadelic Thang didn't take off until Bootsy came on board & brought "the one" formula he got from James Brown with him. He was the a missing piece that George needed. Bootsy changed the direction of the group for the better. I give George for allowing Bootsy to do his own thang. He knew Bootsy was dynamic to just be a side man in the group. Bootsy wouldn't have been given the same opportunity with his former boss the GOS.
