Funkentelechy (Part 2)- Houston 1978

[Bishopkenny]

@MrCrisssykes: Boogie is in the R&R Hall Of Fame. He is bad as well! I won't take that away from him. In all honesty, he also did not get the credit he deserved however, Skeet's work in my opinion was not recognized at all...

[h2junkey]

Just think, we are watching the dude responsible for some of the baddest bass lines ever played!

[cwphunky68]

What model Alembic bass is that?

[SmakitNicely]

@cwphunky68 Series 1 and Skeet makes it sound good

[Carla08120812]

Absolute Phunk! Uncut Funk! Supreme Funk, Psychadelic Phunk!  Hellish Funk, Angleic Funk, Stereophonic, disco-inducing, Hyperbaric funk. One Phunk, Sung Phunk. Peeeee U!

[MLPIntl]

[FunktionRuem]

[macwaffle]

[phoneke]

[giovanni4696]

SKEET kills this... 

[Rcarroll15]

Skeet > Bootsy. That Guitar Riff Catfish trademarked in Funkentelchy is soo catchy.. Michael Hampton doesnt belong on this song.. he makes it too metal sounding... they needed Catfish or Garry on the solo for this cut.. to funky

[Rcarroll15]

Skeet > Bootsy. That Guitar Riff Catfish trademarked is soo catchy..

[ImhotepRamses]

i was at this concert..... - that me whistling....

[KillerB555]

Funk gets stronger....Get it! Get it Skeet!

[xnodie]

wow is that boosty c



[explorations]

Is he using an Alembic he's using? Sounds and looks like it.

[inksterstew1]

@explorations It's an Alembic. I think he got it just B4 the tour. Notice the Larry Graham/Stanley Clarke style solo. This was B4 bassists were really doing solos like this except Clarke, and he was the first. I'm talking pre-Marcus Miller. This is a big production show. Skeet became co-director wit' Bernie. he was all of 19 I believe. That's Junie Morrison on the Minimoog.

[troublefunk804]

how you get this on dvd?

[Nasute]

Ashame these young kids got this crap to listen to now. They didn't have this real music n its all programmed beats and sound effects.

[Funkypeople1111]

Rough. Raw. Pure. Direct. That´s what´s all about. What a pity that we hardly can hear such tunes. And Skeet: nice rumble!

[basquait1]

I invited a young lady to see George-First Avenue MPLS in 08- and surprisingly she never seen him in concert. I had to warn her that she was i for a treat and prepare to ears for 4 HOURS of NON-STOP FUNK! George stayed in the 60' s and 70's all nite! It was FUNKYLISCIOUS!

[nooloo3000]

WAIT THAT MAN IS STILL ALIVE

pardon my ignorance im only 16

now when you say 08 you men that he still ours

if so how can i catch this dude

[basquait1]

Mooloo3000: George is still alive and he frequents the TC. Since being emancipated , he controls all his masters and live performances. Check out his website for upcoming shows. Peace

[OrgenaII]

@nooloo3000

most of them r still alive and kickin, they r still tourin, theyre broken up into different groups.

[nexusvision]

I"m adding my 2 cents In Another great unknown is Nate Phillips of pleasure! youtoube pleasure universal and click on some of the pleasures songs too!

[jrfoi]

George Clinton GOD@MN lol

[drfuzzy23]

that's what I'm talkin bout!

[mazedull]

Skeet all over that pocket

[Bishopkenny]

Skeet is by far one of the greatest unsung Bassists around! He should have been inducted with P/F in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! This is an injustice since he and the Baltimore crew took PFunk to a whole new level!!

[magirecords2004]

@Bishopkenny True! He had a jazz flava.

[MrCrisssykes]

@Bishopkenny  what about c-boogie

[basquait1]

Hands down...this is one of the funkiest live VERSION...I have heard in my 30 years of listening to them! Its on the.....1! Get it...!

[angiequick3333]

WHAT YOU COOKN BACK DARE BERNIE??

[admiral42]

some flashlight?

[muzikman183]

lol.. George was like, "Come'ere Skeet!"

anyone know what guage strings Skeet's using??

[clacy7]

i think my face is stuck.

[TheBigDisplay]

"Mind your wants cuz someone wants your mind"....

"You might as well pay attention, cuz free speech is too high"!!!

ideas brought to you by urge overkill., so fasten your seatbelts while i take you face to face with the noisiest computer i know!!!

[liquidsunshine]

[benjammin420420]

[gr00vechild]

Props to Skeet!!!!!!!!!!!

i finally to tell him how he influenced my style

skeet the best of the funk mobs bass players!

myke

soul sychedelics

[oldschoolruler]

The funk saved us all when Hendrix moved on to the next level...this is without a doubt...THE FUNKIEST offering by Parliament, the only cut that comes close is The JB's, 'Doin' It To Death'...this funk is so round, so firm...so FULLY PACKED...'where'd you get YOUR funk from?'

[RapaTerntSanga]

haha part 2 when the funk gets nicer, not that "where you'd get your funk frooom" ;]

[SLIPPINGINTOTHREE]

who are the bass players?

[drunkindonuts07]

Rodney 'Skeet' Curtis

[StevieDebe]

The Funk will set you free. Keep funk alive. Skeet and Michael rock like a mug.

[bogardvandijk]

stanley clarke style on bass...:)

[oRuTRa45]

Gotta love that Alembic bass.

[cjjaxxon]

@oRuTRa45 Yeah when it comes to getting a more treble sound out of Alembics Skeet, John Entwhistle, Stanley Clark and Mark King seem to do it well.

[oRuTRa45]

@cjjaxxon Stanley Clarke is my favorite. Can't forget about Louis Johnson either.

[cjjaxxon]

@oRuTRa45 Ohh yeah! Can't for get him either though he was pictured on an album with an Alembic but I never saw a picture of him playing it.

[NUCLEUS77777]

That is The Art of Bass.

[vectortrio]

I saw that tour in 1978, in Tidewater VA....these guys were funkin harder than anybody in the history of the world. In fact just watching this video is curing my ills...god DAMN.

The world is enriched by these musicians.

[bootsycollinswifey]

DAMN DAMN...like someone said 'this is the cure to that sickness we call music'

[jcfunkgroove]

Wicked solo by Skeet!Thx for sendin'Mrs.Collins

[Ori0n1975]

"Would you trade your funk for what's behind the 3rd door?" My favorite song by Parliament. Love it.

[drunkindonuts07]

George Clinton knew how to pick his bass players going from Bass to Bootsy to Boogie to Skeet. Honarable mention to Lige as well.

[SoulbassJr]

ladies and gentleman.tell sir nose starchild said BOOT THAT SNOOP TO USE YOU MOTHAAAAAA !!!!!! HOOOOOOO !!!!!

[rmsolympic1]

The improvisation,synchopation, and George adding a jazz-skat type vocal over the top is too much.

Fonk On Baby.
