[SloreTactician]

[marquitostucuman]

If only you could remaster this footage...

[angiequick3333]

Its funny becouse ,skeet is the only bassplayer he calls out to solo,he plays everysingle note in those runs.funkin incredible

[angiequick3333]

Skeet plays every single note possible, he never plays ghost notes,im jealous. "4ever funkin on!"

[cwphunky68]

Why doesn't Skeet get credit for being the truly epic bass monster that he is?

He's one of the greats.

[GARYROBERTALLEN1]

funky

[dakarlion1]

incredible. George Clinton is so incredible

[soulgriot]

P-Funk is one of my all-time favorites! As far as walking out on a P-Funk show is concerned, sometimes it has nothing to do with the performance. This summer the Ohio Players opened for George in Brooklyn. I left before the show was over (and it was a great show!) because I was on FUNK OVERLOAD! Sometimes they give you too much sugar for a dime!

[hollycardoza]

I can't believe someone actually caught this on video!

[zapme9]

I'd be the last one walking out of the arena.  This is top shelf Funk in it's finest hour.

[groeneduim]

Dude how come there are two persons, that don't like this stuff?

Are they deaf or did they just accidently cam on the thumbs down button?

[123djblive]

Pray for Gary the diaper man Shrider.. Suffering from brain cancer,,..

[rerob52]

Gary you are the Showman ! Get Well ! Our prays are 4 U !!! 1

[pazzensutra]

I wish they'd have shown the musicians more, because that's' the reason I'm digging on this video, it sure ain't for the fur and shoulder pads.

[free2bpoppie]

If you can't feel the funk in this, your ass is DEAD where you're standing!

It doesn't get played like this anymore!

Check out the syncopation of this groove!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thunderous, percussive bass, with flying off the track guitar scratch, you have to be deaf, or dead, not to feel the power of this!

[S1Z3M]

that is some fucking hot bass

[Shufei]

Desperate funk... Funk redemption!

[ep784]

R.I.P Ray Davis

[FUNKWADS]

Did they tour for electric spanking? Icka Prick live?

[NYRADFilms]

@FUNKWADS This was "The World's Greatest Funk Tour," sort of an "Electric Spanking" tour, however unofficial... On this tour, you would occasionally hear a track from that album as well as the Parliament album "Trombipulation." See the live version of "Shockwaves" on this channel for more. Would LOVE to hear Icka Prick live, but don't have a recording of it!

[Zherneboh1964]

@NYRADFilms  Don't have Icka Prick live but do have it.

[timminananda]

if there was any more funk in this it would be damned near illegal !!! sheeeeet !!

[daverrryan]

[THEDEFOCATOR]

[sumnercarter]

old dude in tears..

[ESmoist]

That's Mallia Franklin! "The Queen of Funk" from Parlet! Where can a mug find a boot of this whole show? Serious. Inquire within. Free your mind...

[royalfuzziness]

And your ass will follow.

[lionzion17]

Is that Dennis Chambers on drums?

[Darmikalus]

A very very young Dennis Chambers it is! he was about 18 at the time.

[lionzion17]

THANKS. It looks odd seeing him play a "regular" size drum kit!

[StevieDebe]

Skeet is the man no doubt.

[dessiegirl1]

What year was this concert and where?

[NYRADFilms]

From "The World's Greatest Funk" Tour, 4/17/81 Landover MD.

[8biminiroad]

Even thought this tour was basically in a shambles and marked the end of the Parliament era, the band is suprisingly tight on this jam. I heard folks were literally walking out of the arena.

[NYRADFilms]

I've heard that, too... Hard to believe, isn't it???

[8biminiroad]

I saw this same gig about a month later in Atlanta and it was a shambles. Black Hole & One Nation sounded nothing like it does here. Zapp stole the show.

[atomicdog93funk]

even though they were in shambles back then, now they still get crowds yet there sounds are slow and sound nothing back then. Funny Huh!I guess back then people expected more out of them!

[mrroye]

@8biminiroad The fans were walking out because George's concerts alwys ran into late hours. Many times the fire marshall or the venue managers would just turn on the stadium lights to end the show. happened here in Jacksonville 3 years in a row.

[8biminiroad]

@mrroye Only the true 'Maggots' are often left at the end of the gig, then the P gets into some more of the obscure stuff, which is a treat for us funkheads. But this concert in particular (the 81 tour), I heard fans were walking out early because they simply were not feeling the music. I know someone who was at this very concert who insists the Mob sucked major ass that night. I caught this show in Atlanta a few months after this performance and it was indeed a shambles.

[originalfunkyfry]

Skeet Curtis is the original bass player on this song, even the studio version, not Bootsy. Great slap bass technique from this guy. He plays with Maceo's band as of now.

[8biminiroad]

Are you sure the studio version was a bass guitar and not a bass synth?

[originalfunkyfry]

yeah I'm pretty sure there is Skeet's bass guitar on the original recording as well as Bernie's keyboards.

[martianfunkcat]

no it's junie morrison or bernie on bass synth. 100% certain.

[gentillyguy1]

Bootsy played drums on the original studio recording.

[beselbic]

I'm diggin' that bass man, very funky.

[funkrock94]

thanks parliament funkadelic, but why the bassist is not bootsy collins ???

[funkberto]

RODNEY "SKEET" CURTIS is the bassman.

[funkfromspace]

Feet don't fail me now! priceless, perfect

[BENCHPRESSMAN]

THANKS FOR THE FUNK

[8biminiroad]

1981 Largo Maryland at the Cap Centre. As far as I can tell the only "Bride' on this tour was Dawn Silva. Although Jeanette McGruder may be in the house. But the most prominent female singer I see is Parlet's Mallia Franklin, the girl who introduced GC to Bootsy aand Junie.

[benninghgts]

this is real p-funk back in the day. listen to the vocals.  from dc rick

[codehendrix]

gospel music plus blues plus rock plus soul = FUNk

[NYRADFilms]

Amen, Brotha!

[skydivebaby]

I love it! Man, one of the many shows I seen them play was in H-Town and they played for 3 hours and didn't really show any signs of slowin it down until the arena started flashing the lights for them to bring it to a close! Thanks for all of your great posts!

[kamelgee]

Skeet my man, I have never heard anyone lay jazz on top of funk like this guy, if you wanna real treat check out his jazz solo on the parlet pleasure principle album...ok bye

[fabibass]

Skeet Curtis is surely one of the baddest funk players ver !!!

[jhericurl85]

nice remix

[theshoelady]

The horns are off the hook!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tio2006]

I think this is the 1981 tour, thanks for posting!
