[GovGoose]

What year was this?

[Timmyfunk1]

@GovGoose-March 1993.

[GovGoose]

@Timmyfunk1 Thank you :D

[noiseonlyplease]

Cocaine is a HELL of a drug

[2112frusciante]

the kid at 2:03 looks like he could be Arik Marshalls kid.

[ishancooper]

I remember taping this performance & wearing the sh*t out of the VHS with so many plays!

There ain't no party like a P.Funk party!!!

[TheJor97]

Was the man in the red suit Magic Johnson? 4:14

[noiseonlyplease]

@TheJor97 yes

[cheesegrater999]

Where was flea and john...

[mausfallnfrantz]

@cheesegrater999

john left the band in 1992 and was replaced by arik marshall.

i think 1:55 you can see arik (but im not sure)

and 2:01 this freaky jumping guy is flea, you can see it @ 2:46 on the bass and his kind of jumping

[thegorillaz2d]

anthonys mic is to quiete

[Feieherkes]

Hell yeah I am happy they met George C back in the days!

[1999californication]

Wtf is going on here??

[snooters]

*head explodes*



[thegorillaz2d]

george should go live with them alot more

[BluesmanMark]

I remember this well. It was February 1993 & the very next night George & P Funk tore the roof off the sucker in Charlotte NC! I was there for that show, the second sold out show in Charlotte for George & the boys in a two week period, Saw the first show as well. Ain't no party like a P Funk party, cause a P Funk party don't stop!

[Funkrocksurfer1971]

THAT be Fonk!

[svcfunkband]

que lindo quilombito on stageeeeee



[ernestoz510]

1000% BEASTMODE!

[mtume007]

R.I.P. Garry "Diaperman" Shider.

[tnelovelam]

fucking amazing at 3:56!!!

[skizmsucks23]

arik s a pimp

[undervenued]

Anthony always brings it on stage. Say what you want about his voice, but his stage presense is UNMATCHED!

[MrKmcleod]

Hey does anybody know what type of bass the bald guy in the red pants is playing? I saw one ages ago in a music mag and fell in love with it...

[Maruschek]

haha epic xD

nuts

[slap1pop2andslide3]

flea, meganut & bootsy ... a reality-warping black hole sucking & spewing all the funk-marrow from the universe :O)

[lhcutt]

This is not the chili peppers and george, this is the RHCP and Parliament.

[SebaChannel]

2:04

a baby playing a bass! :O

[Macieqsk8]

Father George and his funky family :)

[k0stil]

i asuume flea is in the black fur coat?

[k0stil]

damn George is high.

looks like all of them are high

[k0stil]

craziest performance ever!

[kakuify]

12 are not disguised...

[PlatinumJestar]

In the words of James Brown, It's too funky in here

[holkemann]

Hahahahhaah 3:59 , check out Anthony!

[holkemann]

Hahah. This shit is crazy in so many ways, and that's positive!

[DetPaul187]

Magic Johnson

[Xminor79]

Holy Fuckin Shit!....that was soooooo good!!!

[nevermindsem]

The one who Anthony gives his hand to is....?! I don't recognize him...Johnson?Mmmmhh

[ThePushita]

Pause at 2:23 ♥♥

[owlandtree]

The RHCP should have stuck with Clinton as their producer. After Mofo (Probably still on a pink cloud from being directed by Clinton on F.S.) they lost any shred of originality they had.

It sucks that their name is attached to George Clinton. Why did he ever get mixed up with those "Super Stupid" "Maggot Brains"?

One thing I did learn from the RHCP; DON'T SHOOT JUNK!!

[lithiumissick42]

ive never seen the chicken walk haha, anyways i guess your reason is better than mine so ill buy it haha

[lithiumissick42]

possibly the best thing ever....of all time

[rockingrobot]

i think this is the awesomest thing i've ever seen hahahahahaha

[xUNKNOWNxAC94]

the skinny guy with red pants plays the bass freaken awesome!

[Luk93t]

@xUNKNOWNxAC94

lol'd hard

[iangotango13]

@xUNKNOWNxAC94 of course man! thats fucking michael ''Flea'' Balzary!!!!! aka Bass God

[xUNKNOWNxAC94]

@iangotango13 the guy in red is not flea. the one that jumps around with anthony is flea, he is wearing all black.

[lithiumissick42]

@xUNKNOWNxAC94 mmmm you cant really see his face so its hard to tell, you do see that there are only four bassists and if flea is in it that must have been him, but im skeptical because ive never seen flea dance like that in any RHCP videos, haha good reason right?

[xUNKNOWNxAC94]

@lithiumissick42 yepp. but i can tell who is flea right away coz he is my dad

[iangotango13]

@xUNKNOWNxAC94 OMG!!!! Jjajajajaja sorry bout that I just only saw the first 10 seconds and figured that was Flea jajaja I just thought ''red pants, no shirt, shved hair, gotta be flea!'' jajajaj but yeah you are correct Flea is in fact the guy completely in black, because of two reasons: the fast chicken walk @ 2:46 and the head banging @4:10

[xUNKNOWNxAC94]

@iangotango13 yepp and coz he is my daddy!

[iangotango13]

@xUNKNOWNxAC94 jJjJJajajjajajajaj funnyyyyyy

[nevermindsem]

@iangotango13 nope Flea is the one with the mask and the black dress that jumps like a crazy! 3:02 for example...he gives shoulders to the cam...

[iangotango13]

@nevermindsem yeahI know xUNKNOWNxAC94 clarified me on that cuz I only saw it from far away and figured that was him jajajajaj

[xUNKNOWNxAC94]

thats too epic!

[BrettTozzi]

hahaha, anthony going up and saying hi to magic Johnson. classic

[BassM0TH3R]

Kind of wish we had gotten Shandling's reaction at the end; was just as classic.

[ronnym768]

@Mickley74 which one?

[ronnym768]

2:01 crazy looking bass and bassist

[ronnym768]

I got that same exact guitar at 1:55 down to the last detail. its a Fender Squier Stratocaster. It's pretty good but a little twangy

[colocal87]

@ronnym768 thats not a squier



[RedHotChiliPrimus]

Where the fuck is Flea?and im gueesing this is when John left

[SebaChannel]

@RedHotChiliPrimus 4:09 there is flea

shaking his head XD

[spectaclebass]

George Clinton, what a legend

[mtume007]

this is some funky ass shit I remember watching this in my senior year back in '93. ONE NATION UNDER A GROOVE YA DIG!!!

[Mickley74]

da black dude sucked

[ChillestVibe]

@Mickley74 Let me tell you, without the "black dude," there wouldn't be a Red Hot Chili Peppers.

[Roberto100294]

@Mickley74 You are dumb, like fo real.

[Stickmodee]

George Clinton is starting to look like Bill Clinton. Shoot him with the bop gun.

[TheJezzka01]

[tvrulesnation]

whats the song at 3:50, i can't find it on google or in the youtube comments

''why are people pumping a fist like this'' (it sounds unreal)

[swilliams070889]

@tvrulesnation thats because they are saying 'party people' not 'why are people' i think :)

[beerboy14]

This just made my day...how have I not found this before...

[tvrulesnation]

haha i love the little roll Anthony does at 4:03, it looks like somethings possesed him/some tribal dance

[DangerPenguin]

So awesome.

[ilr111]

RHCP didn't have just 3 guitarist, but several

seriously the more i watch this the more i see how off the chain it is.

[tdog65000]

Arik marshall!

[Malosovich]

i think the best thing about this is this is at the grammys.

[bckm54]

Can't you just see this with the Village People there too? It would be quite a sight! :)

[rtscott2001]

Unfuckablewith

[IIIIIFLEAIIIII]

WTF??:D

[Woodenpineapple]

absolutely EPIC performence

LONG LIVE RHCP

[nadalarg]

so george clinton screams through all the song

[pfunk1978]

como la liman estos muchachos!!

[PrayerPeacePurity]

I can imagine J. Frusciante sitting in his LA home, shooting up, seeing this on tv, thinking "Er....WTF?"

[Malosovich]

haha

[goodinbed64]

@PrayerPeacePurity John wouldnt have cared since he badly wanted to NOT be famous.

[mikolene97]

@PrayerPeacePurity i didnt need heroin to think that... haha

[hojima]

@PrayerPeacePurity This is actually what he saw while he was high while he jacked his brain into a video out.

[alitocapo]

@PrayerPeacePurity why isn't he present?!?!!



[alitocapo]

@PrayerPeacePurity why isnt' he present?

why shooting up? shooting down.. direct to the balls!!! :P

[rerarbob1]

hahaha anthony probally thought at 4:03 like "i don't want to get up and walk"

[eatALOTsleepALOT]

just so epic

[I66Mhz]

Who is the guitarist?

[overfunktt]

arik marshall

[I66Mhz]

@overfunktt thanks

[iddtelyoubut]

must be 6 bass players O.o

[harrysamphil]

the guy in the beggining looks like he is very worried because its the grammys and its all formal and shit and he is like "oh jesus christ red hot chili peppers and george clinton, this is gonna be an expirience"

[lukecf]

it's not really the red hot chili peppers when Anthony Keidis is the only one there

[RHCPmikeRHCP]

yah but i think chad is dare 2 at 0:59...

[designer23t]

they're all there dude

[overfunktt]

flea's in the black hood playing bass, Arik is playing guitar, and chad is obviously drumming

[Jffan4evr]

Ugh, Arik look so out of place. Where's Flea? Have I been looking away everytime he's been on?

[beerandpluggers]

Who does that crazy ass scream at the start ?

[tomnews66]

Fuck it is a great video but I wish Frusciante was there... or at least Dave; Arick sorry man ur good guitarist but Peppers are on another level boy!!!!!!

[daz4ninjas]

this is the craziest party ever.

[stratman06]

Or is it Hillel Slovak?

[Rockafellaton]

its neither, i think its arik marshall

[mikebulzary]

It is definitely and undoubtedly Arik Marshall - it says in the facking description. Also the fact that he looks absolutely nothing like either John Frusciante or Hillel Slovak is kind of a hint.

[braindmg1]

give it away was made after slovak died

[stratman06]

Damn John looks really unhealthy :(

[raph83130]

Ohhh!!! Yeahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

With George clinton!!! very good!!!

[gnfnr211]

What year?

[adaz450]

1992 or 1993

[drummaross1015]

god i miss the old chillies soooooooooooooo much

there new shits so not as raw as this

[adaz450]

yeah i hear that, but thats what happens init...they get older and then the music isnt so much about raw fuckin energy to get the blood pumpin!

wonder if they're gonna come back from this hiatus....and if they do, wonder what the new album will sounds like...

peace

[haz127]

wow people don't appreciate funk then

funk is a celebration of life and music and should involve as many people as possible all giving as much energy and involvement as possible, if everyone is commited and energised it can't sound bad or confusing

[nonamebrandbeefsoda]

For 5 minutes they made the whole sham that was the grammy's worth it.

[roz59]

Oh yea...I concur with comments below...this is a jam...for fun...and it rocks! You can totally tell they are all into it!

[roz59]

I love it! Anything that Mr Clinton, Parliment, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers do together???? I mean how rare is that?

LOVE IT!

[furor93]

then check out "let the good times role".it's a song by the peppers and clinton

[Australiano75]

George has fucked that song up, whaling like some drunkard on crack!
