[unclefreddie70]

[blufaz332008]

[wiggerthomas]

Man,this is fantastic ! Unbelievable audio !

[slimbrotherluv]

Horns!!!!!!!

[OrgenaII]

can u imagine if GC would hav come out as a Mardi Gras Indian?????

[slimbrotherluv]

dayum them horns are blowing

[estradadeferros]

I was there!! Yes Sir!! Flasticbrainflam doloop Yo Ho!

[OrgenaII]

Again, Y did Glenn leave the group, then a few shows later Jerome too?

[cjjaxxon]

@OrgenaII There was an interview that Jerome did for a website where he tells about what happened at that time. I use to have that site but I believe it was a P-funk type news site.

[OrgenaII]

@cjjaxxon must hav been bad. the whole concept behind Mutiny was to get at George. Mutiny on the Mamaship.

[cjjaxxon]

@OrgenaII Oh it was. I'ma see if I can find it again.

[muzikman183]

u know what, im diggin this.. its like the focus is completely on the high end's contribution to the funk.. and the bass is complementing these guys.... sounds like a funky mistake by the camera guy... yooooo ho!

[ep784]

I have this version too

[Duwop77]

This group was straight out Cosmos Cartoonish, just as George Clinton said years later. Definitely among my top 5 groups; Sly&The family Stone, Graham Central Station, Ohio Players and Kool&The Gang. Great Posting!

[codini2000]

i have an audio cd of the jan 1st 1978 cobo hall detroit show. its pretty good quality too, i want to post it soon.

[docjerome]

Please!!!!! How can I get a copy of that CD? PM me ASAP, I can't get enough of this band.

[DONNIMETROPOLIS313]

I was at this concert, and many many more, I had a great copy of this concert, my copy was much better without all the screen distortions, and sounded like both channels were intact. Unfortunately of course it walked away long ago. Yo Ho

[rann1968]

This videographer is plugged into only one or two of the soundboard channels by mistake seems like. Sounds interesting though

[manallin]

It´s all about the Funk come on.

[ranus69]

The Parliament concerts were always the hot shit when they went on tour. Sold out all the time.

[Robtha3rd]

This is the Landover MD show....when they do Flashlight the mothership crashes up into the ceiling scares the shit outta George!

[Mabus69]

I saw them May 20th 1977 Arrowhead Stadium KCMO P-Funk Earth Tour then April 8th 1978 Kemper Arena for the Funkentelchy Tour.

They changed lineups somewhat and even more doing Motorbooty Tour.

[cavs102000]

Man,this is the SHIT yall! Uncut funk coming 2 ya directly!

thank you drgroove !

[mackvandyke]

Whatever! It's vintage and gooood stuff..

I think Jimmy Carter was president then and Ali was chamnp huh?

[TheBigDisplay]

"How do you spell relief"?....This is Mood D control, and not the funnybone.

"you deserve a break today, so have your way!"

"fasten your seatbelts while I take you face to face with the noisiest computer i know!!!!....Yeaaaaah Hoooooooo!

[thad99]

no worries george. i will never trade my funk for what's behind the third door.

[dantelasalle]

what day was this show??? i was born dec 1977 in detroit...

[KingMaybach]

This is not from Detroit. P-Funk did not stop in Detroit in 77'. This is from either from Sept. 16 or 17 in DC.

[PhuckHue2]

I couldnt attend this show because I was on punishment, I was still a kid. This is the only tour I missed back in those days

[micaofboca]

Were you being punished for dealing the P-blow to little schoolgirls on school grounds? Uncut blow...the Bomb. Or was it for bringing a 9 MM automatic hand gun to class? Or possibly for stealing 500,000 Kilowatts of P-Funk Power and comin to you live, doin' it to your earhole. Or for snorting a punchbowl full of the P-smack and takin' it to the stage. When I tell Maceo to blow your horn I means brother, Sir nose that blow like you did for James Brown back in the day.

[PhuckHue2]

what in the funk are you talking about? drugs are stupid, never did them

[micaofboca]

If you're gonna receive the funketelechy you'd better free your mind so your ass can follow, phuckhue2 very much. You're in the private Cubase of George Clinton here so leave that whack right wing shhhtt at home, Holmes.

[TuckerEatsBabies]

these guys did 'em... if you don't get what dude's talking about how do you manage to understand george? micaofboca's on point, read you loud and clear

[PhuckHue2]

believe me, I get plenty high from the music alone. since I am a musician I hear a lot of techincial stuff people miss. I can actually hear when George turns up the volume on certain tracks and faintly hear him giving directions. never did drugs, never will

[kingofdaundaworld]

ill communicator, master controller, George Clinton is like a funky Jim Jones lol, " would you trade your funk for whats behind the 3 door?ha,ha awesome footage...

[8biminiroad]

Funky but mislabeled. This is the Chocolate City DC. Why do you say detroit when later in the same video George plainly announces where it is?

[drgroove]

sorry your right

[Boardfair]

Supergroovalisticprosifunkstic­ation

[atomicdog93funk]

Please post the rest of this jam!I love this song and would like to hear a part 2!!

[funksteady]

SUPAGROOVALISTICALLY AWESOME! The G-reatest funk that was eva put to-get-her ;p

[thad99]

did they start the song with no drums...and then add the drums later? if so, damn that's tight and funky

[odeskoo]

...that's jerome brailey on the drumz...

[drgroove]

no this is,tyron lampkin.although jerom was on the stage

[telley5ves]

SEWER HOLE STANK!!

[Chochi1]

PLEASE POST!!

[stoneisbackforgood]

I't an audio no video from that Savannah show.

How can you upload audio?

[funkfan45]

Really?

Who's playing the guitar then?

[stoneisbackforgood]

i'll look it up for you.

[stoneisbackforgood]

Savannah February 1978 has Garry and Michael on guitar. Bernie on keys a horn section with Maceo Parker and probably Frank Waddy on drums. I believe that this horn section was replaced on 21 March 1978 by the Pfunk horns.

[drgroove]

micheal hampton.and garry shider

[OrgenaII]

@drgroove wht bout Boogie, BlkByrd, and Eddie on guitars?

[ronaldartwell]

[duke5196]

[bootsycollinswifey]

[bootsycollinswifey]

[drgroove]

Iwas actually at this show I was 4 years old.but I was there me my family.Parliament was a big thing in detroit back then it was like going to church when ever they came to town.
