Bootsy Collins - Rubber Duckie & Psychoticbumpschool

[questube45]

This segment remind me of the times everybody got a taste playing instruments in all those basement grooves we did waaaaay back when. Bootsy took that to a whole 'nother level!!!!

[kopydlowo]

crazy!!!!

[CnQuiZ]

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT

[MIZZRS]

BOOTSY was here last year at a funeral and when he got up to say his commentts he said, "Well they told us to only take 2 minutes to speak on Zion bcuz yall know I CAN GO ON AND AN BABA, I ALMOST SCREAMED BCUZ HE SAID IT IN HIS SINGING VOICE. AND THEN HE HUGGED MY TEACHER STANDING NEXT TO ME AND THAT PUT US FACE TO FACE, HE WINKED AT ME IN SOME BADDD AZZZ GLASSES. AND HIS WIFE IS BEAUTIFUL IN PERSON.

[Kurtiz76]

Landover as in Landover Maryland? If so, I saw Dead shows there. Many cool folks and OG's in those parts. I was in a funk band in D.C. This is where racism fades away and we're all JB's children. I miss the vibe so much. I live in a yuppie place now. :-(

[jm31563]

3 dislikes don't have the funk

[jm31563]

Utterly Fooonky!!!

[mightyblack1]

George and them added this to then end of Knee Deep that Rubber Duckie track.

[RocketboyX]

I'm not worthy to live on the same planet as Bootsy.

[theggwheelibin]

@RocketboyX You probably don't.

[1Mellodee]

[TheRedgeenoble]

Rest In P Catfish!!!!

[kennethowens1897]

My 1st time seeing Bootsy was @ the L.A. Coliseum.. He was scheduled to come on after the Bros. Johnson who tore it up!! Louis * George swapped guitars right in the middle during their riff on Strawberry Letter 22 ( the bridge).. Anyways Bootzy the character he was wasn't about to appear till the sun was far set which Bros. Johnson were amidst twilight!!! 1977!!! Ghostlyhaberdasheries in effect!!!

[CrowdPleeza]

The middle to last part is my favorite.

[Funksploitation]

The 2 losers probably listen to that Hamster Dance robot shit you hear coming out of rice rockets...

[TheMrParish]

[Gruuvin1]

[jakeizlove]

Synthesizers have cleaned music up so much it has no funk that I can even smell.

Now Bootsy and George Clinton... that's pure, uncut funk!

[Bigtizzle420]

@jakeizlove 100% Grade A Funk baby!

[BassByTheBay]

THANK YOU for posting all these Bootsy clips! It's great to see the funkiest human being who ever lived in his prime.

[lolzors128]

Nice!

[djTLM]

Real Funk!

[jabari22]

where is the whole performance? i luv it!!! what was the song at the very end? like just b4 it ended

[goldsmiths]

@jabari22 That's what i'm also looking 4

[BassByTheBay]

It's what AntonioMainenti said: The Pinocchio Theory. Bootsy was chanting the One Nation lyric, but they weren't doing the music from One Nation. I assume you were talking about the horns at the end which were definitely from Pinocchio Theory.

[shishyupal]

101% DYNAMITE

[kirkg811]

Capitol Center had the greatest concerts. Saw Bootsy & P Funk there a few times & always left w/my ears ringing. Bootsy played so loud. Where have all the good times gone?

[proctor940]

Best vamp section the world. They have kept that same filthy groove for 30 minutes. It would have been fine.

[TRUOHIO]

Thx...funk always brightens up my day.

[codini2000]

[GMONY5]

I 1978, he came to my city with his Rubber Band, and they jammed their azzes off for real, man i can feel that funk from that Space Bass of his that night!

[Slapbass90]

I'm gonna play music like this one day :)

Everyone should lol

[ulistrat75]

damm that shits so funky I need a bath!!!

[heckto35]

@ulistrat75 I need to get dis-infected!

[162berto]

I had all of Bootsy's albums as a teenager but never saw him live until I was 35( saw funkadelic in 78) but after waiting all those years I went to a show and bootsy reach his hand out to the audience and i missed it, I was like DAM!! But he jump off stage and ran and disappeared into the crowd(to watch the band jam alone) And the next thing I know Bootsy has his arms around me and my lady for about 5 minutes sweating and bobbing his head to the music. I'll never forget that ever!!! OK BYE!!!

[gatalhufo]

@162berto man...that´s a MOMENT!!!!

[jazzlicka]

@162berto Id give my left nut to be transported back in time to see this genius jam

aint it amazing how he never gets mentioned when talking of Prince , I mean I love Prince But Damn you know the Funk came from Bootzy

[zyruemusic]

@162berto DAMN FAM!!! That was some cool ass shit!! That same thing happen 2 me with Roger Troutman's last time in Seattle..out of all the people in the house he sat at the table with me and my lady friend...Thank U FAM 4 sharing LOVE!! PEACE!!

[atownmack]

@162berto That's a hell of a story!

[blackpeter70]

@162berto Yoy got some home-delivered funk there, mate. That's brilliant!

[PhuckHue2]

I saw this tour from the 3rd row. As soon as Bootsy hit the stage everybody in the arena got off their seat. I turned around and saw thousands jammin'

[zonwuka]

Bootsy Collins,

Master of the process that will render ones mind...

Funkable!

[radiostationexpify]

i've made up my mind...next holloween i'm dressing up as BOOTSY! anyone know where i can get a space bass? :)

[facedspaced]

you find one let me know!

[momopolisgooeyfudge]

Give up the funk. Slap that bass. OOOh Yeahhh!!!!!!

[yoorheinez]

the so called "artists" nowadays should learn from this intense energy, just look at that head bobin, he really gives 110%

[gracoop6]

yes!!!!! ur right.........you he got spot in downtown Cincinnati call "Bootsy's".........go my Fav; Videos and see it.......If you Stay -r- come to the Nati it's at 631 Walnut st Ph# 513-241-0707

[MEGAMIGA]

So true mate!

Today's "musicians" are 100% attitude but 0% music...

[scribblertheband]

your sons hot

[JustinBanks]

from 5:40 on...Bootsy invents house music!

[zonwuka]

you can replace that house with anything positive!!!

[basvossen]

no you can't blame the King of P-funk for that computercrap called house... never! Bootsy is a MUSICIAN not a deeshy!

[brunotattaglia]

the live version of Psychoticbumpschool has one of the dirtiest bass lines in the history of dance music. You must listen to Live in Louisville for more.

[76alembic]

THere is no funk like Bootsy. He is the shit.Hes got real big ears .Lessons from James and George and made it his own .He is great!!!

[shadayafreeman]

That intro is BEASTIN',sends chillz down my spine!!!!!!!!!!

[pazzensutra]

I was just recalling what James Brown said to Kush during "Escapism": "Kush, you oughtta be ashamed of yourself-leave that little horn alone!!!" Don't you just want to say the same to Bootsy and his bass? The band is hot, too.

[pazzensutra]

Man, I'm just sitting here shaking my head. Why can't there be funk like this anymore? I wish I could have been there. I'm wearing headphones, and my wife said I sounded like I was groaning. I said I was. I guess I was having a funk-asm.

[blackouttsi]

the groove at 1:23 had me cussing for no reason

[SavioRxB18C1]

anyone know where i can download the live landover performance or get it in mp3 format? id love to have this stuff on my ipod. i like the live stuff over the studio recordings.

[TheBigDisplay]

"Its ok...I dont play" Ahhh, except my guitar bobba...And some bump music!!

Psychotic!!

[Djavidus]

Rick Gardner is the SHIT.

[bterwill]

I wish i could give it more than 5 stars.

[downonthe1]

BOOTSY! no guff just the stuff! ultimate GROOVEmaster of all time!

[deftroniks]

I was born that year. think my soul just heard this gig and said "gowd damn holy ghost I'm going down there!!" :0)

[bboohhmmaann]

That guy on the drums played for james brown and he is tough!!!

[wtb0]

Wow, George recuited everybody--I knew about Bootsy, his brother Catfish, Maseo, and Fred but not the drummer!!!

[spotofbother]

One nation under a groove!

[romainvdb]

FFUUUUNNNNKKKKKKK !

[krissybug]

This used to be my favorite 8 track lol!

[circletree]

bootsy was, and still is, the friggin man.

[jcfunkgroove]

BOOTSY is DA FUNK!Work it...........ooh yeah!

[yoorheinez]

Funk should be like this these days! imagine hearing it on the radio!

[rockjohnson80]

I feel like I'm back in 1978 looking at this. This is some tight funk!!!

[left52]

damn right. funkiest of all time.

[facedspaced]

bootsy's too funky for his own good, hes basically soul brother number one

[marlmacmomark]

unbelievably funky...like, wow.

[dbronx3]

....soooooo funkiiiieeyyy!!!

[hubbsllc]

You get the feeling that after a few shows, this hot funck just basically *played itself*?? How the heck do you STOP playing one of these tunes on stage?

[wyzard214]

You don't you just let it go and TAKE IT TO THE STAGE

[prudog40]

George & Bootsy & bernie , will go down in history as the greatest music minds ever.

[PhuckHue]

the funkiest tour ever

[austrianfunkhunter]

Good God! That's so funky!!!

Thanks a lot for sharing this one!

[shadayafreeman]

@00:01-00:05 Whooooa,dat just staked da'joint up...what instrument is dat?

That iz da' a classic example of FUNK 2 ME!

[SidewalksOfNY315]

That instrument is the keyboard being played by Razor Sharp Johnson!

[shadayafreeman]

thanx....how did they make it sound like dat?

[SidewalksOfNY315]

Now that I dont know! LOLL!

[rockjohnson80]

That is the MOOG SYNTH.

[shadayafreeman]

Thanx because that was killin' me! Is it possible to find this version on CD because when I found this song it was completely different?!?

[rockjohnson80]

I'm not sure if this live version is on CD. The studio versions of "Rubber Duckie" and "Psychoticbumpschool" are two of his best works.

[wozisit]

This is off the hook!!! this is real music. I'm not getting any work done today because im getting funked up.

[fedefrusciante]

groove!

[redlegnation1]

Hot damn this is funky!

[roldilocks]

feel that Bernie!! Gross!

[8biminiroad]

Not Bernie but Joel Razor Sharp Johnson killing those keys.

[roldilocks]

nah thats bernie on rubber duckie, he's not playing on that second song. can i get a witness?

[8biminiroad]

Hmm. Bernie should have been on the road with Parliament at this point and since Bootsy is now no longer the opener but the headline, I dunno. Now BW appears on a gang of the Bootsy studio stuff but did not start doing live shows with The Rubber Band until the late 80s.

I could be wrong, maybe he showed up for a few dates on this Player of the Year Tour.

[roldilocks]

regardless, bernie is the main keyboard player on ahh the name's bootsy(the album with rubber duckie) not joel razor sharp johnson. so it's bernie or razor sharp trying to bite on bernie's style, but honestly on the bootsy's new rubberband dvd from japan, razor and daffy duck play mostly all the rhythm keyboards while bernie destroys all those cool synthesizer noises and string thangs thats why i don't think razor would try to sound like that.

[tulipmitchell]

I see what you're saying and don't get me wrong I love BW's licks on the Bootsy lps esp tracks like Under the Influence of a Groove. BW is oft imitated but never duplicated. Listen to it real close, dont' you think Bernie would have been a lil more colorful added a lil more texture to it, it would be smoother like seamless silk. I think it's Razor going for BW style. I've watched this whole DVD from 78 back and forth and all I see is Razor. If wrong, I stand corrected for sure.

[austrianfunkhunter]

DVD? How can I get that DVD? I've searched after it on Amazon and Ebay, but just founf the North Sea one from '98.

Could you please give a hint?

[tulipmitchell]

By the Woo I am enjoying this funky dialogue with U.

[roldilocks]

i was listening to bootsy live in 78 and the keyboards are not nearly as loud as they are in the rubber duckie part of the video, so i still think its bernie, but then again i don't have the video, i don't think they wouldn't turn the keyboards up that loud over bootsy's bass unless it was bernie

[8biminiroad]

It can be whoever U want it to be. Next time I see BW I'll ask him was he at that show.

[roldilocks]

do you see bernie on a regular basis? i met bernie for the first time a couple months ago and i shit a brick in my pants!

[Timmyfunk1]

Bernie is nowhere on any of the live Bootsy recordings from this period. He was already on the road with P-Funk.

[proctor940]

@roldilocks Keyboard player is Joel 'Razor-Sharp' Johnson.

[tulipmitchell]

And now I am on my wife's computer which is my my name changed

[Timmyfunk1]

No way dude. That is Razor Sharp.

[Blacqrock]

Bootsy is King of the Funk Bass

[puttmannia]

Hey if you can find the brides of funkenstein that would be great too. Funkerrific you the man!!!

[SidewalksOfNY315]

God Bless You, Funkerrific for posting these awesome videos of Bootsy performing live!
