Garry Shider Tribute Video #4: Live in Houston, TX, 1979 - "The Aqua Boogie Tour." With James Wesley Jackson as The Skull, Kidd Funkadelic, Eddie Hazel, Bernie Worrell, Walter "Junie" Morrison, and stay tuned for Starchild, dig?
Kinggreese79, That WAS Michael Hampton playing on the 1976 live version. That song was recorded during rehearsal for the P-Funk Earthtour at an airport hanger in Newburg. Eddie Hazel was in jail at the time. Eddie Hazel played on the original studio version from the album, Cosmic Slop. Michael tore it up on this and the 1976 live version. I wish that people would stop it with the comparisons. Michael is a great guitarist as was Eddie Hazel. They had different styles, but both were great.
Actually,Bootsy and Bernie were the main composers of Cosmic Slop. The 1973 version was played by Ron Bykowsky( white soul brother) using two Marshall stacks at opposite ends of the room. Guess where I heard that story......Gary Shider (R.I.P.)
the reason this verson is so good is because of Eddie Hazel. He would make some rare appearences on some of the later P-Funk tours, including this Houston stop on the 1979 Aqua Boogie Tour. Eddie does the rythm guitar throughout the song and it is noticebly funkier. Just listen to the rythm guitar behind the solos and it'll all make sense. Eddie wrote the song only he could do it the best
