That bass line is PHAT as fugg !!!!!!!

Parliament gets no credit as a band that was way ahead of their time. Like Nirvana and Led Zeppelin so to speak. George Clinton was a pure musical genius. Probably the most original band there ever was

Man, the party got crazy when this came out!!! Went to a "Flashlight" party in college given by Alpha Phi Alpha. Got in for a buck if you brought a flashlight. LOL. All lights off when they played this and you shined your light on everybody. LOL. Those were the days!!!!

I think I'd have died of funk if I would be at this show. This is the best funk I've ever seen. And this kind of funk is exactly what the world of today needs, a true free expressive soul.

Everybody has their own light to shine. No one else will. True pimpin tune.

I remember this show, I was front row. Still love this group, as most of them are perishing...

No matter how much you listen to Parliament, it never ever ever gets old, does it? And to have seen it live... I can barely imagine the experience!

You just can't be mad when you hear that groove! Funk can bridge cultures, bring people together. It's the sound of LOVE baby!

Saw them live several times in RI. Best shows on Earth!! Long live the funk! ❤️🏆

Got chills... Whether you like this style or not, this is one of those rare and precious examples of what music is all about.

This is some really good music and it is sad there isn't more like it today .

Look at Sir Nose slamming the dance,,killer dancer

Lord almighty this is too damn groovy to handle.

God I wish we could turn time back !!!! When this music was happening things were so much happier .

I'm 19 years old. I learned to play the guitar by listenening to this group. I WANNA PLAY WITH THEM SO FUNKIN BAD!

I attended four shows back in the day and i love every second that i was there. Much Love and no fights or calling other out of our names. Music that will go down in history as the good times and party"s time. Got to LOVE it.

No words for how good this is!! Fantastic to see this song finally live. Growing up with classic Rock in Germany, this song taught me the first time in my life what real Funk music is and totally opened my musical borders. Thank you for this George, god bless you.

i love how there are people that just dance on stage without singing. pretty kickass

I wish I said this, but I didn't. A Philly DJ did. "When I die I wanna come back as that bass line."

That bass is so disgusting sounding. I love it.

Awesome - they brought the funk to Houston in April 1978 !! - I was born exactly 2 weeks after this show in the fine city of H-town. Even though my mom was not at this show maybe Bootsy's Bass penetrated the earth and walls of this city and the rhythm found it's way into the womb makin me ready to roll.

I remember listening to this when I was in middle school in 1978! Stop Light!

This sounds pretty good, this has always been one of those songs i wouldn't expect to work live.

There are few bands in the world you can put on in ANY part of the world, and it will make people dance and smile. I heard this song back in my country (Peru) being played in a car wash and the dude washing my car was dancing. Love this band!

I was into Pil, Psychedelic Furs, Talking Heads (Remain in Light) and the Pop Group. Too bad I was in the UK and had not yet discovered this the Black Led Zep of the 1970's (ie best Band in the world at the time) and most important and influential as Led Zep were with Hard Rock (69-75).P Funk could rock, funk and disco your ass!

It's one big P-Funk party w/these guys (and gals). Great playing, great singing, great dancing..great love and joy! I wish music would get back to this..

This album was some of our favorite "trip music" in college! We also had a bong we called The Bop Gun. We could recite all of the lines and parts! I still play the CD today but my wife just thinks it is noise. I love this video because of the sheer energy and chaos.

Funk was that groove that allowed everyone to have a good time because it touched your soul deep inside and made you want to be a part of it.

One of the most memorable concerts I ever went to back in the 70's !!!

someone needs to invent a funky ass time machine to take me back to this concert

this is a party starter here and i was born in the 90's lol

One of the great party songs of all time. I went to a college stepshow recently, and the fraternity came out on stage to this song . . and the kids went wild.

I never get tired of this EVER!

Saw Mr. C and P-Funk last Thursday (July 7) . 70th birthday show - he still helping 'em find the funk. God Bless, Ha da da dee da hada hada da da!!!

They used to play this at the skating rink back in the ‘70’s and turn on the strobe lights man what a great time

grew with alot of class mates who had to be high to experience these guys.never my bag of tea,but i use to burn the floor up when flashlight came on though.boy those was some wild times in the late '70's.

yea,im a 80's baby but these joints are always and will forever be classics...my uncles and aunties stay playing this at parties! lol

Now this is what a concert is....damn...I wasn't born for another 4 years!

play this at my funeral man

Whenever I hear this song it reminds me of my first year in public school, it was so different from private school!!!

what a live, fuk !!! . pfunk has ruled for longer than any other bands . Timeless classics throughout ANY musical genre .

I grew up with these major Funkmasters. Love Parliment still play all the music today. Went to see them some years ago in DC..great concert. Everyone in the house was rocking and funking.. sold out concert with black and white funkateers..it was great!

どんなに嫌なことがあっても、これを聴いたら元気になれる。

real live funk with real people singing live band you got to love it

I could go on and on about how much this music meant and still does mean to me, Gary "StarChild" Shider... I can still see you flying in on stage in that diaper, i was blown away then ( young teen in the 70's ) and have remained so ever since. Parliament Funkadelic was and is more than just music, it's a culture and I'm proud to say I'm part of it. To those reading this, you might not realize it, no matter your age, status etc... you are influenced by this culture weather you believe it or not

this music is one of the reasons basketball had more love in the day than today....Rebound Records baby!! Young and Company, Secret Weapon, Parliament, Slave, Curtis Blow and Dunk on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love this stuff..........wurl be freeeeeeeeeeeeee

we had this song at our wedding reception. It was like Soul Train, we all had a line started then we had the ladies take turns dancing with my hubby. LOL what a blast. lol

Saw this concert just in a different city...same tour. Best concert I ever went to.

Skeet iz thumpin on that bass ( like a woodpecker wit a headache). I would never miss a p- funk concert when he came to town. Put this in a time capsule so the next generation will see what fun was like🐐🎸🎵🎤💯🎯

I was in the 11th grade this bring back great memories

Boogie Mosson is tearin it up in this.
