Wow!! Talking about a full line up. This was the best of the best talent that George has assembled. Bernie and Junie on keys, wow. We will never ever see this kind of show with this multitude of all stars again. Our generation was blessed to be emersed in this at young ages not realizing that this was some once in a lifetime shit that would not be equaled or topped. FOREVER FUNKIN ON!!!

Nothing will ever replace 1976 Houston, Tx. LIVE!!!! Light a Joint, buckle your seat and then there's Lift Off. I am still in Galaxy of no Return. But!!! I'm Still on the "1". BELIEVE THAT✌️💯

❤❤❤❤❤ 1979 I was 17 Just Graduated From High School …. One Nation Under A Groove Getting Down Just For The Funk Of It My Favorite Song … George Clinton A New Sound it’s a Little Too Good FlashbackFlashlight And Atomic Dog 🐩 So many Jam,s We Ran to See The Mothership Connection Land Down here at the Santa Monica Civic Center In Cali …. Fun times The 80’s

At 6 years old, my mom took me. We were there with my mom's friends, uncle, his friends. I was playing their records on my red, rubber band driven turntable. Then I didn't know about Cameo and Mother's Finest then...it was all about Parliament-Funkadelic. The music was sooo loud and clear. There was smoke all around me. As a kid, I was scared in the beginning. The lights went out, people were screaming and when the skull came out, I damn near pissed myself; so my mom told me. But as soon as there were songs I recognized, Cholly Get Ready to Roll, I was ok. Now seeing this brings back memories. Unfortunately a year and 8 days later, my dad was murdered. When I went to see him in the summer of '79 we would look at a concert of P-Funk and I would "air drum" and imitate George.

Grateful you posted these Motor Booty/One Nation/UncleJam-era shows. It's filled a hole in what's available on KZread! Cheers!

This concert is better now than it was probably in ‘79!

I was cloned years ago. Thank you so very much for this!!!!!!!

This was the first tour that I attended. Where I lived at the time, the radio only played Parliament songs, so when the Mob came on stage and played 'that Rock n Roll song, me and my friends were like, "what the heck are they playing"? We had no idea about Funkadelic until the "One Nation Under A Groove" LP. Imagine my surprise and delight when I heard the entire pfunk catalog 2 years later!!! Cosmic Slop is probably my favorite live Funkadelic song now.

I was there however the show that changed my life was a few years before at the cap center when they first landed the mothership. That show also had Cameo and Mother Finest. Cameo came on first and rocked the ish out of the cap center so much so I was worried about how anybody could follow that until MF came on and crushed it. Really worried now. PF came and ripped the roof of tha sucka. Changed my life. Years later I met and befriend Eddie Maggot brain Hazel and was introduced to the funk mob. An incrediable journey. In Funk I Trust.

One other testament to the impact of Parliament Funkadelic - I was so tickled to see the MOTHERSHIP parked in the Smithsonian African-American Museum! My son went a few years ago when he was maybe 12 or so and showed me pictures he took. When I saw the pic he took of the Mothership, I had to ask if he knew what it was. Of course he didn't...so it was a sit-down moment of, "son, let me tell you what that really is..."

The beginning of the Freebase years. Band not in the pocket. This is post the Mutiny of Goins/Brailey/Fuzzy/ShadyGrady and the drug induced mental breakdown of Dawn from Parlet and the departure of Malia. If I'm not mistaken Bernie and the WOO was gone too. Tiki Fulwood also died that year. It was downhill from here unfortunately. Nothing will ever beat the Earth Tour. Once they started with the horrendous Uncle Jam Tour and the subsequent followups like the Egg tour and this it was a wrap. Gary was good but no adequate replacement for Glen Goins. Junie Morrison is at least on deck.

yep RIP Debbie Wright.. as far as the show's decline, I do believe the shows with Dennis Chambers on the drums and the PFunk Allstars was damn good. The vibe was very different, of course. The money was gone, funding ceased after Warner Bros absorbed Casablanca Records. The drug use was unfortunately deep by then like u said.. BUT they were playing some COLD shit! With the Dennis, Skeet, Bernie, Pfunk Horns + Maceo era--maaaan there were some seriously FUNKY performances! I would STILL rather have seen that lineup live verses today.. The level of SOUL and MUSICIANSHIP is lacking with the younger members George has today.. I know they're mostly his family, but George used to recruit some badass young talent.. Anyway, I'll always support them, but i dont go to the shows expecting to be blown away. They're a fun tribute band now. I'll always love and appreciate the legacy though

And there's more... From 1976 to 1979 there must have been more P-Funk albums than most bands make in a decade.... And many of them are still funkin' !
