I love Parliament Funkadelic, my first concert experience in 1977. The best concert that I have ever attended in my life. The Mothership Connection(Spaceship) had landed on Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati, OH to a sold out arena. Weed smoke was flowing throughout the building and I had a serious contact at 14 years old. The concerts back in the 70's lasted 3 or 4 hours. They jammed from start to finish. Parliament/Funkadelic is the greatest Funk band/group on planet Earth!!!!

Saw them twice at Woodstock '99 In Rome NY. They were so good and it was so much fun. The crowd was clapping off beat and instead of George changing us, he got on his band to adjust to us...So cool!

Much respect, I was at the underwater concert, and when george came down in a space ship, never again. Don't forget Parlet and Brides of Funkinstein!

I learned this entire solo from the album version by ear a few years ago. I always wondered where some of those notes came from. I had it narrowed down to a modulation between D minor and A Dorian. Cool to see the chords underneath. I never knew what chords were being played. The reason Eddie isn’t playing the solo is primarily because Michael Hampton is the one who played the solo on the album. That, and he pretty much replaced Eddie when he went to jail. Hell, you’ll even see him playing Maggot Brain instead of Eddie WITH Eddie being on stage. Which I never really understood. But Mike is a MONSTER of a guitar player and has some really, really insane live performances during the period which Eddie was gone. He joined the band at 17 years old. CRAZY. That’s prodigious.

@@geralddecosta320 I have looked through so many live videos of p-funk and found so many hidden gems. The 85 Rockplast video (the one that this performance came from in the video) is among the best I have seen in its entirety. Those videos from like 76 to 79 are absolutely ridiculous when Mike has the Super Strat and the Alembic! They say that Stratocaster he plays is the first ever super strat! It predates Van Halen’s Frankenstrat (which a lot of people thought was the OG). But Mike had 3 humbuckers in that Stratocaster in 1976. And the fact that it was a lefty (Tip of the hat to Hendrix) makes it that much better. The way the strings are strung up makes the low E the longest string. Which I think gives the guitar a totally different sound. I wonder where that guitar is now? A piece of history

All of these guys are just legends

Being fr Detroit the sound studio in Detroit George would listen to each musician, to pass his ear test and always had extras for when needed!!

I've watched so many of your videos but this is my all time favorite.

My first introduction was probably 1976. I was 11 and already sneaking into my older brothers records when he was at work but one day I saw a strange looking album. The label stood out: Casablanca and I think it said Chocolate City. It had been severely mistreated, scratched up but that album label just had me. Something in my mind was in awe as only the Motown label had that effect with its artist and if it had that distinct Detroit map/ music it was straight. Well the album was Mothership Connection and there was no way it would play. Something intuitively said play it til it won't play. So I played it and the 1st thing I heard was : Good evening Do not attempt to adjust your radio, there is nothing wrong We have taken control as to bring you this special show We will return it to you as soon as you are grooving Welcome to station W-E-F-U-N-K, better known as We-Funk Or deeper still, the Mothership Connection Home of the extraterrestrial brothers Dealers of funky music P.Funk, uncut funk, the bomb Coming to you directly from the Mothership Top of the Chocolate Milky Way, 500,000 kilowatts of P.

Like you could look up Funkadelic live 1969 which will bring to you 14 minutes of incredible footage of the original Funkadelic lineup playing live (I think it’s the only live footage of that era of PFunk available to us). The funky guitar grooves in that video are AWESOME, it would be so cool if you could break them down. It also features the band seamlessly transitioning in between several of their early songs in a medley-esque way...very tight. Have you heard The Goose by Parliament? If not, you should. So much is talked about Eddie’s blistering loud Maggot Brainy solo work but no one ever talks about or analyzes his incredible rhythm guitar ability, like that which he lays down on The Goose, along with a beautifully funky, subtle and laid back quiet solo towards the end of the jam.

Great to see a fan who is also a musician react. Dennis killed it. They were super tight. This also shows Gary as the leader and M D. When they were this tight not many bands could touch them. Great video. I think it was Razor on keys maybe boogie on bass. So many great musicians came through this camp.

Bruh! So, my first album I ever bought was Uncle Jam Wants You by Funkadelic in '79, so I am partial to the P-Funk. But, your analysis emphasizes what I heard years ago. in an interview with Bootsy Collins, he compares backing James Brown like being in the military and going to George Clinton like the opposite. Free form and feel. Your analysis just reinforces that. Super cool!

Funny thing about that. If the story is more truth than rumor...it was James Brown who indirectly kicked off Parliament/Funkadelic further evolution. James Brown's music formula always relied on the One. When Bootsy left the JBs he took that with him and passed it on to George Clinton ...it was like an epiphany for George Clinton and everything was on The One from then on.

Great vid and explanation of what’s going on. Other than Prince not sure of any band as good. I worked stage local on a Smokin Grooves show. Standing off stage I was amazed. First, George seemed like he could barely stand (and yes late to come out). But was amazed at the cues he gave to the band. How much control he had over everything that was happening. Things most would miss or no even know (like you pointed out he needed the mic hotter). Live...they are one of the greatest experiences ever.

This was amazing...thanks for giving props too the funkedelic era. I still bump George Clinton!!!♥️

Great to see your almost childlike enthusiasm on this video. You have clearly listened to George and Freed your Mind...and your ass has followed. That HOB show in Myrtle Beach that you are talking about was back in 2007 and I was there. I was standing on stage most of the show next to Danny Bedrozen. Before the show me and my brother were hanging out in my 18 wheeler in the hotel parking lot...playing guitar with the late Garry Shider and Boogie Mosson and of course, my good friend, Kidd Funkadelic...Michael Hampton. Been going to PFunk shows since the early 70's. This is a great classic video of multitudes of shows. Keep that awesome content coming. 🤩🤘🏾🤩

Hey old school can we chop it up about Bernie on the long version of aqua boogie. Can we talk about the Brides ...Texas. The new Neal Bogart movie Sam Jackson playing George. I go back as far as the first Funkadelic album. Always great to learn about the music!

Glad to hear it! You're SOOOOOOO far away :)

As from the old school, we keep it funky. We don't over analyze the groove. As a professional guitar player 48 years in, we keep it tight, either chords or lead parts. It's ALL about the phrasing, we borrow from jazz, gospel, and blues. It's True, rhythm is a part of our being . Funk On 🎸🥁🎤🎼

Have loved this P-Funk live version for years!! Killer!!

Main man I love your depth in my opinion you are a true funkster I’d know because I’ve played with Mr.Raymond “TiKI” Fullwood and Mr.T. Ross. Mr. Tiki in DC & Mr. Ross in Maxton, Nc. I must say what an experience and I missed him but I’m still funkin; and got Mr. Collins autograph at the DC ArmoryWhen I was with James Brown before I saw him I heard his playing and he blew my mind I did not know I was going to see and meet him in person

I funking love this.

Ok now u seen the p funk and we appreciate your input we all live a life under the sun music is the healing force of the world peace 🎙🎼🎸🎹🥁🎻📯🎷🎺🌏🔮
