[MrMastrsushi]

[chrisrocks2010]

[skateborg]

I got out my Warwick Fortress Masterman bass and put down a groove in the spirit of Bootsy...

[theglasgowinventor]

[bklynbass]

I can't believe this was ever on network television...even if it came on at 11:30 pm on a sunday.

[crayhead]

The late great Hiram Bullock!!

[JustGreatMusic87]

[MrVerncoleman]

[scweegieify]

to anyone that dislikes this: funk you.

[gamewildkid]

This is the one of few reasons why we need a "Bass Hero" to promote great music like this.

[lolwood]

Thumbs up if you are holding a bass trying to play along!



[winedrummer]

@lolwood :-)

[Rodgebi]

Omar Hakim on drums, hell yeah !!!

Bootsy and Sanborn on the same stage, what I would give to have been there! Really, about as funky as it gets.

[dfwmifv]

Love u Bootsy <3

[dpowens]

Haha, at 0:21, does he introduce the backup singers with "Hit me, pretty fat!"?

[JoeRice]

@dpowens The two female backup singers are a duo called Pretty Phat lol

[dpowens]

@JoeRice Hahah gotcha, thanks : )

[fatcrab245]

[dpowens]

@fatcrab245 Ha, thank you : )

[si3gnal]

[skinnydoggyz]

[GermanysLastHope]

oft kopiert aber selten erreicht:D

[andrewbautista23]

1:32

my god, the guitarist felt so funky he had to relieve himself and do a funky dance..

[Fjord76]

@andrewbautista23 that's Hiram Bullock RIP

[gzwiebel]

Smakit - awesome. Who triggers the sequence? Bootsy does it?

[gzwiebel]

What's up at :58 when he's playing but moving his hand at the same time. No less funky but much more freaky. 

[SmakitNicely]

@gzwiebel

what you are hearing at that point is the MPC 2000 doing a sequence. That big overdriven bass sound that starts the main line is sequenced.

[SmakitNicely]

@gzwiebel

what you are hearing at that point is the MPC 2000 doing a sequence. That big overdriven bass sound that starts the main line is sequenced. At 1:56 to past 2:00 you also hear the bass quack but Bootsy's hands aren't even moving at all.

[OLDGROOVE]

@gzwiebel Remember the hand is quicker than the eye.

[Athinter]

That guy with stratocaster played with Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Bootsy is amazing!

[wantq2000]

is that monique singing back up?looks like her and i know she was on one of bootsys video...cool performance

[MasterKonfuzed]

Yeah!

[streetxlite]

anyone know what year this is from?

[Brennna]

@streetxlite I'm thinking late 80's, maybe Saturday Night Live?

[Oldcarsarecool]

If I didn't know better, I'd say Dave's gettin' ready to roll . . .

[stratobagster]

damn! someone got my mullet blast!! oh well, a moulie with a mullet

[heckto35]

I love the way the dude on the keys is playing two instruments at once! That's real talent people!

[SeerTrulth]

God dammit, go get it, Bootsy! Shiiiit.

Slap that ass, Booo.

[Leyhoooo]

never had percussion been so importen in a song before xD

[savorytuck]

to answer their question, yes i do like to party

[casestudyification]

This show aired in the late 1980's. It was great. I wish it was still on today. Dave had anybody who was good on that show, and I remember seeing this one. Before he went to a commercial, it showed Bootsy talking to a little white mouse in his hand and he was saying, "Aw come on bobba...say something for the camera. Aw man, you were just talking to me man, don't do this to me....."

[namtil]

Amazing. This one gets my vote for the funkiest musical performance, ever!

[stixie211]

How can you not move when you hear this song !

[Arcterion]

"And on the 8th day, God created Bootsy."

[razzydazzle99]

do you have any idea how fucking fun it would be to be in that band

[evildogheretic]

DAVE IS ONE HELL OF SAX PLAYER!

[funkchick65]

BOOTZILLA RULES !!!!!!!!!

[ObeseChess]

That. Just. Happened.

[xciulx]

That is the funkiest piece of music there is on the net. That is incredible!!! "Unconscious body movement" - that should be some kind of medically recognized symptom for funk virus

[heckto35]

Aww man. This version is bad to the damn bone! Owwww!

[ShawnHeld]

the Sistas are awesome.

[catkong7]

@QUIDAM321 God damn you are lucky!!!XD

[AdmiralBarackbar]

[BeeDaBeeBee]

I used to dance to this guy when I was two. I STILL have the nickname "Bootsy" from then.

[nickman8559]

[Lateralus03]

My entire house just melted from the amount of stanky funk this video emanates.

[samguy175]

[Skimaskguy]

Imma see him tonight for 2 dollars

[mscalabrino238]

[drumtravelfun]

I remember sneaking downstairs late at night to watch this when i was a kid, all the "Sunday Night" and then "Night Music" shows. Great stuff.

[pullom19]

Not to take anything away from the funky Boooootzilla Baby Bobba, But I watched SNL strictly for the cats you see on stage ... Awesome

[zonwuka]

bootsy once was in a clip of this british guitarist doing this song and he was dressed as a butterfly i think an bernie worrel was in it too does anyone know what song it was?

[cfredrics]

Only Bootsy could combine the mullet and the afro and make it look cool.

[jordanpatterson123]

one of his top funks!!

[meoget]

Haha BOOTSY!

[KillYourTeeVee]

make it so funky i can smell it!

[GreekBassSlayer21]

David is a fucking ass kicking machine!

[maksmail]

The stars in his eyes don't mean fame... they mean outer space.

[agmpconcerts]

Bootsy Collins is live at Indigo2 in London on Mon 11 July 2011

George Clinton is live at the Forum in London on Sat 18 June 2011

[northwi60]

When it's Bootsy"s party onstage he really encourages the other musicians to do their own thing, to be spontaneous, the best in the business love to perform with him because he lets them shine. He's one of the coolest cats ever to strap on a bass.

[happybeach777]

LOL! did he just refer to the back vox as "Pretty Fat!!!!" wow thats a little rough....W/e those women are the business!

[Wooofraps]

DAVE!



[bengraeff1]

I wish I had the talent to pull that hair and suit off

[Gunnshy357]

In honor of Black Music Month: One of THE funkiest bassists on the planet PERIOD ! I am honored to have become friends with one of my biggest musical heroes.

[euphoricelephants]

What up with Lionel Richie on guitar and keys?

[piliage]

@euphoricelephants I guess the royalty checks from dancing on the ceiling are a bit light...

[agmpconcerts]

@piliage Bootsy Collins is live at Indigo2 in London on Mon 11 July 2011

George Clinton is live at the Forum in London on Sat 18 June 2011

[piliage]

Omar Hakim and Bootsy are so locked in it is scary. Bootsy keeps throwing in offbeat accents between 1:00 and 1:30 and Omar hits EVERY SINGLE ONE with him, dead on. It's like they have some type of bizarre Vulcan mind meld happening. 

[herrsitar]

@piliage 4:50!!

[piliage]

@herrsitar Damn right! Gotta love the big ol' grin on Bootsy's face as they hit it.

[brucifer90]

They need to put this in the dictionary as a definition of funk. I know Mike hampton Glen Goines Bernie Worrel and Bootsy's been to my house ..BUT GOT DAMN i never saw this..its a 12 out of 10 OFF the fuggin richter scale..

[piliage]

Oh, and Don Elias on percussion... my dear God...

[piliage]

Bootsy Collins, Hiram Bullock, David Sanborn, Perahps Omar Hakem on kit...Lou Solaf on trumpet? Holy Christ...

[MzGeekySwaggStar]

[jessrocksonalways]

BOOTZILLA SO FUNKY

[MrNiels93]

[casparwijn]

[Eyoman1]

3:37 man, that's one sexy solo

[WORDTrue2010]

it all started with afro beats! Antibalas and what not, but man, i cant help but wanna party when i hear that bass smack bap smack bap!!!

[PatsBooks]

@WORDTrue2010

You are misinformed. It started with Funk. This is funk. Afro Beat is an amal of Funk, Jazz , Highlife(Ghanaian), Yoruba rhythms. Fela too Black American music and fused it with African rhythms.

[thetoastofdoom]

Bootsy Collins is pure funk in human form.

[kautle]

Its pretty intense how he can play those crazy parts and sing at the same time. gotta remember he played with james brown, funky since the dawn of funk

[SonnyOrion]

what show was this?
