Garry Shider with Funkadelic: Cosmic Slop (1979)

[SSW2424]

Kinggreese79, That WAS Michael Hampton playing on the 1976 live version. That song was recorded during rehearsal for the P-Funk Earthtour at an airport hanger in Newburg. Eddie Hazel was in jail at the time. Eddie Hazel played on the original studio version from the album, Cosmic Slop. Michael tore it up on this and the 1976 live version. I wish that people would stop it with the comparisons. Michael is a great guitarist as was Eddie Hazel. They had different styles, but both were great.

Proof Michael Hampton was no Eddie Hazel. Listen to the 1976 live version

Actually,Bootsy and Bernie were the main composers of Cosmic Slop. The 1973 version was played by Ron Bykowsky( white soul brother) using two Marshall stacks at opposite ends of the room. Guess where I heard that story......Gary Shider (R.I.P.)

the reason this verson is so good is because of Eddie Hazel. He would make some rare appearences on some of the later P-Funk tours, including this Houston stop on the 1979 Aqua Boogie Tour. Eddie does the rythm guitar throughout the song and it is noticebly funkier. Just listen to the rythm guitar behind the solos and it'll all make sense. Eddie wrote the song only he could do it the best

This would be an awesome concert to have on dvd or mp3 to listen to...truly great musicianship!

[TheColourphonics]

This is so damn hot.

[SSW2424]

This is a beautiful version of Cosmic Slop with Michael "Kid Funkadelic" Hampton and the late great Garry Shider sharing solos. This is one of the better versions with Garry taking his solo. Some others don't have enough volume on Garry's solo. RIP Garry. We miss you!

[Funkdogg]

@SSW2424 and what about that guy with the bass voice? (i forgot his name)he's fantastic! shame they are not with us anymore

@SSW2424 This version is pretty good. But I like this version in D.C. It was mostly Gary on the second solo.

[amennuramen99]

@SSW2424 Yea but my favoret one is the one they did in Birmingham..on the Tom joiner sky show 2004 i think...
