Parliament Funkadelic - Dr. Funkenstein - Mothership Connection - Houston 1976

It was Halloween night and Parliament Funkadelic was about to tear the roof off the
Houston Summit, ready to bless the crowd with their cosmic brew of interplanetary
funk. George Clinton, Bernie Worrell, Bootsy Collins and the rest of the P-Funk
collective were riding the success of their first Top 5 R&B hit, "Give Up The Funk (Tear
The Roof Off The Sucker)," a track that had earned them the kind of radio play that
would bring the masses out to see them live in a stadium-sized arena. The group was
only five dates into the tour when they arrived in Houston, but they were definitely
ready to take it to the stage for an out-of-this-world show like no other.

Taped on October 31, 1976, these seldom-seen performances at the Houston Summit
represent Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic in their ʼ70s prime, in the era of their
Mothership Connection and The Clones Of Dr. Funkenstein LPs—a rare opportunity
for everyone to get their proper dose of The P-Funk.

@bubbadoodle64 they got the idea for there stage outfits because they showed up a gig way back in the day around the beatles time when you wore a band outfit or uniform. they didnt have any of that crap so they went into the wardrobe room and grabbed some random ass shit and went on stage. when asked what they where doing they say. we have outfits, who said they had to match? real fucking ground breakerrs man. fucking epic. and yes, diaper was his idea, he stuck with it.
