Hey everyone. Almost 10 years this has been uploaded. Of course I don't make a dime out of this, it has never been the point. I love the memories it brings back to so many of you. Keep funkin' it out brothas and sistas
yeah sure enough, I had the privelege to see Glenn a few times in new york before he passed and george and the rest of Pfunk many many times since then.I also have a picture of George Clinton and myself taken at a show in sayerville new jersey at a spot called club bene`in 1989.
@@dennisscott1610 you are absolutely lucky. I'd give anything to see them at this time. I'd give even more to see the og Funkadelic lineup with Eddie, Billy, Tawl, and Tiki.
C Sanders..... Loved him in life nd in death love him still. Glen Goins opened hearts nd let the sunshine in remove all the pain nd suffering. His name will remain as part of great legends though he left to hospital eternal home at 24yrs. Can't stop thinking about his greatest nd how he.brings sweet tears to my eyes. RIP beautiful angel the Lord took u because he wanted the best.
I was there in 1978 when the "Mothership" landed at the Captial Centre in Landover Maryland. Mannnnnn! If you didn't smoke weed, you smoked it that night whether you wanted to or not. I was higher than high.
matt dillon ....greatest men is an understatement.! ..really.they deserve an halo for earthly angels. They were created in a special mold, moment nd time.
I now understand why he died at 24 years old. No one is allowed to sing like that a walk among us!! We were not ready for a voice like this and GOD knew people couldn’t handle it. I watch this clip every night and it never gets boring.
If I'm honest my favorite P-Funk songs are the ones where Glen gets to shine. The man was such an incredible singer and I wish he had a career of his own after P-Funk.
Was at this show drove from Austin Texas me and my brothers 3 hr. drive from Austin they played for almost 3 hrs. took us 2hrs to find our car after concert the hay was in abundance.
Don't Let the disguises fool you. A lot of them are classically trained musicians. I seen a interview where Phillip Bailey & Ralph Johnson said Parliament blew them away on stage and they immediately went back to rehearsal.
You are absolutely right and they were waaaay ahead of their time. The singers were on point too. Sounds just as good and relevant as the 70s and 80s. Great music!
I'm so happy that I was blessed to see the landing, even though I had to keep one eye closed because I was juiced, smoked and thinged outta my mind. I didn't miss the connection!
The unusual mix of gospel, funk, rock and soul -- the lead singer is extremely talented. The P-Funk's Mothership landed in my city once and I made sure I was there to see that show.
I saw the Mothership landed at Cole Field House at the University of Maryland in November 1976. Man, that was something I had never wished in my life! As other stated about Brother Glenn, he was nothing but pure church. I had not heard that kind of singing still days in church growing up in Georgia! He killed that testimony! RIP, Glenn. 🙏
I'm 65 and my homeboy and I meet Gary Shider in The San Souci night club in Atlanta in the early 80's, we were in the bathroom and it was snowing and he walked in and said hey man you got any more of that snow, and I said what snow. So he said, man I'm Gary Shider and I play with The Funkadelics, and my homeboy said whats up. So we went out to his Van, and he cooked his bump up and blasted/smoked it. He told us, I'm going back in the club and get on the stage with Magga Brain, they were a local group. He got his guitar 🎸 and got on stage with Magga Brain and funked the place up. RIP Gary Shider PEACE ✌🏾
NBA Live 2000 brought me here, but you can bet your life I'm returning because Mothership Connection is an absolute masterpiece... one of the best albums I've ever heard!
Glen Goons was one of the greatest, underrated musicians ever. Listen to that voice!! and he was a monster guitarist on top of that voice. Died way to young so most of you watching this never got a chance to experience this man live. What a loss NOT from drugs but natural causes,really around for a short time on this earth RIP Glen Goins....
Oooooohhh my god i wish I was there!!!!!!!!!To bad I wasn't even thought of I'm only 31. This is amazing what I would give to go back and be apart of this. I'm am so jealous of this era. Not to sound ungrateful but I would trade this social media era for this era any day. I damn near died when they brought the mother ship in. I would have loved to see that in person. I'm over here with a smile as big as Texas right now😄😄😄😄😄
This dude was so powerful singing. So soulful. God must of needed him in his choir for him to die in his 20’s. The great always die young. Rest In Peace on the Mothership!!!
MY BOY RICKY GILMORE FROM SACRAMENTO PLAYED BASS ON THE FLASHLIGHT ALBUM P-FUNK BABY I REMEMBER BACK IN 75 LISTENING TO THE MOTHER SHIP ALBUM POP'S WAS PRETTY COOL ABOUT IT TOO...
If you hear any noise its just me an older Funkadelic 70th Birthday Season..Live And not Die and declare the Word of God.. Funk throughout 71/2 Years dieing of Cancer i was 24 when it started..Gleens heart stayed with me I was Ready To Ride.. Swing Down
I had my tickets, my juice and my leafs, ready to board the Mothership via (MSG) way back in (1977) 2 weeks before EWF'S arrival and they CANCELLED, they CANCELLED, due to a death in the group! I saw them in "75 -78 and 79, but I never witnessed the Holy Landing of the Mothership, until now, special thanks funkyfrog51 for allowing me to witness one of the greatest concerts EVER!
This man was 24 when he died look at what he left if he wasn't anointed then tell me different he was before his time his voice was god sent and his talent was like an angels only the good die young.
This is honestly one of the greatest videos on the internet. Chills every time I hear the crowd go crazy when they see the mothership coming in. Good god what a band.

Today and every day! Gotta hit the band. Miss you, Mr Goins.
I have a lifetime pass!
Crazy to think Glenn was only like 22 in this video. What a voice. This gives me chills. Music at its best.
yeah sure enough, I had the privelege to see Glenn a few times in new york before he passed and george and the rest of Pfunk many many times since then.I also have a picture of George Clinton and myself taken at a show in sayerville new jersey at a spot called club bene`in 1989.
22?!?! He Sangin' like an old Baptist deacon!

❤
Glenn had terminal cancer at the time as well, that took him from us too young. My favorite singer ever Rest in Paradise Glenn 💙💙❤️
After all these years I still get chills when I listen to Glenn Goins calling down the mothership.
You!
This good brother lived to the tender age of 24...the pipes, the pipes though.
😎🚀🌟
One of the greatest vocal performances ever caught on film. I can't even count the times I've cried watching this performance on acid
The BROTHER took us to CHURCH..
Glenn's soul was bigger than his stature. He could move mountains with his voice.
What up Carl? 😁😁 and very much agreed!
Tina Thomas Im sick as hell right now. Hope ur doing better than me 😢
Aww dear!! I hope you're getting some rest and will feel better soon.
I still loved P-Funk after him, but still. Nobody could replace Glenn. One of the best ever.
C Sanders..... Loved him in life nd in death love him still. Glen Goins opened hearts nd let the sunshine in remove all
the pain nd suffering. His name will remain as part of great legends though he left to hospital eternal home at 24yrs. Can't stop thinking about his greatest nd how he.brings sweet tears to my eyes. RIP beautiful angel the Lord took u because he wanted the best.
The landing of the mothership is STILL the greatest thing anyone has ever done in a live show!
Yessuh! Hands down!
Agree
AND TO THINK THAT WAS 45 YEARZ AGO!!!
This is what we got to see as teens the best
Facts
How is it Oct 2024 and I can listen to this song and still get chills!. Never will be an era like this again!
I was there in 1978 when the "Mothership" landed at the Captial Centre in Landover Maryland. Mannnnnn! If you didn't smoke weed, you smoked it that night whether you wanted to or not. I was higher than high.
I bet that was a beautiful night wowww 💛💛💛
Definitely the good ol days! Orange sunshine and boat!
I saw them a few years later at Howard University blew me away!
I was there at the Capital Center. That was one of best concerts I have ever attended!
I'm 50 years of age and I still get chills and goosebumps whenever I see the mother ship land on stage.
The Funk sho will make you Stank !!!! Let’s Ride !!!
Thats the loose booty sprite try in to get in.🖤💨👽
George had It going on!!!😎✌💙💚💛💜
You ain’t never lied maaaaan this was the greatest show on earth, still today and that experience can’t never be touched
Me too! Didn't see the original at 5 but I saw the ReConnection Tour at 25.
Glenn..Glenn..Glenn. My goodness what a voice! #rip So much soul, so powerful. I get goosebumps every time I watch this vid.
He was the soul of this entire movement!
@@MarioCavett amen! Glenn and Juni Morrison... what would george have done without his recrutements ;-) amazing!
Caspar Wijnberg let’s not forget Bernie Worrell
Glenn was the MShip connection with a voice fen G-d, not ole George, he,s alive and he disgusts me!
In this video you could tell that Glenn was high as a kite. Too bad that he passed way before his time..I still miss that voice.
He took this to church! Straight chills!2021. Talent like this is lost.😭
Gotta tear the roof off....!
He did now ,didn`t he!!!
He sure did , now didn`t he!!!!!
Amen
Parliament Funkadelic Mass Choir 🙌🏿
Well I think I've watched this about a thousand times now 😊 Best version of Mothership ever!
Miss you Glenn. Miss you Bernie 💙
Yup. This is it! Life-changing.
Same bud
nobody could bring that Mothership down like Glenn Goins could he had gospel ,blues,soul, and funk all rolled up in one bringing it down.
I was born in 88... I'm thankful my mom introduced me to the parliament way ahead of their time
Glenn Goins was the heart & soul of Parliament, the Mothership called him home at the young age of 24. Rest In Parliament (R.I.P) 🙏
Watch the documentary of parliament funkadelic. George Clinton rip his band mates off. I was surprised at the history of the group. Very interesting 👌
some of the greatest humans to ever set foot on this earth.
Yes, but on acid!
superbug1977 Yeah, so was I for the most part..
matt dillon ....greatest men is an understatement.! ..really.they deserve an halo for earthly angels. They were created in a special mold, moment nd time.
Some of the greatest -humans- to ever set foot on this earth.
I think they were actually aliens.......
I now understand why he died at 24 years old. No one is allowed to sing like that a walk among us!! We were not ready for a voice like this and GOD knew people couldn’t handle it. I watch this clip every night and it never gets boring.
The Elites Eliminated him Because They We're Aware Of What He Was Spiritually Was Doing
I concur! When funk was created to do just that……. Funk you the funk up!🙅🏾♂️🤘🏽
Never ever-ever.
YOU KNOW WHAT, I SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT MINNIE RIPERTON, WITH A VOICE LIKE THAT. I NEED YOU UP HERE!!!
Over & over ❤
I met Glenn Goins in the 70s he was a very humble guy..very nice person.
Can u talk about my hero and that experience
Gigi Dooley , I hope Glenn is resting in peace .
I like the part at 3:14 where George says "hey Glen! and Glen hits that note.you can see how Glen played off George's energy.pure 🔥. Rip Glen Goins
Right
If I'm honest my favorite P-Funk songs are the ones where Glen gets to shine. The man was such an incredible singer and I wish he had a career of his own after P-Funk.
@@mikeschenk4730 he died at 25 from cancer.he never got a chance to be recognized for his voice with a solo career
Which is a very sad thing indeed.
I witnessed this at the Oakland Coliseum in 1978 and I have not been the same since.. give up the Funk for life!!
Was at this show drove from Austin Texas me and my brothers 3 hr. drive from Austin they played for almost 3 hrs. took us 2hrs to find our car after concert the hay was in abundance.
Don't Let the disguises fool you. A lot of them are classically trained musicians. I seen a interview where Phillip Bailey & Ralph Johnson said Parliament blew them away on stage and they immediately went back to rehearsal.
Dadgum right! Them dudes wasn't no joke! Juilliard was right there on that stage!
Are you kidding me? They’re an amazing band!
Hit me in the photon. This is some intelligent shit regardless of classical musical training!
Glen Goynes ladies and gentlemen!
You are absolutely right and they were waaaay ahead of their time. The singers were on point too. Sounds just as good and relevant as the 70s and 80s. Great music!
The mothership landing was the most outta sight spectacle I’ve ever seen ☮️💜
I'm so happy that I was blessed to see the landing, even though I had to keep one eye closed because I was juiced, smoked and thinged outta my mind. I didn't miss the connection!
I was at that concert. I was 15 at the time and it’s been the best concert I’ve ever attended in my life.
you went to the concert in houston tx on october 31, 1976, a sunday. if true you must be 62 years old.
first off the sound quality here is amazing - but the performance is even more fantastic. simply one of the greatest bands to ever play
The greatest!!
Yep!
The unusual mix of gospel, funk, rock and soul -- the lead singer is extremely talented. The P-Funk's Mothership landed in my city once and I made sure I was there to see that show.
When it landed in Houston,
that's when I became a FUNKATEER 4 LIFE!!!
kariebeez you go mommy.
I saw the Mothership landed at Cole Field House at the University of Maryland in November 1976. Man, that was something I had never wished in my life!

Glenn Goins died in 1978 the an had an unbelievable voice R.I.P Glen
im 22 and youd swear i was in my 50s i love this shit to death. 💯✔
you don't have to be in your 50's to appreciate the music,but it helps
to life
this is da bomb , even for young people like us in this "dry" musical area , go back to the masters and get your groove on
Tenario Golden the funk will make any age move the young and the old!!
Fr
Man, RIP Glenn. His voice was unrivaled. Nobody could summon the Mothership like he did.
It just won't get any better that this. EVER!!!!!!!
A very nice name you have there. Ive seen his movies and visited his tomb in cali.
Wow! That had to be awesome! That concert was the best ever that night!
Aww cool Douglas! I've never seen his moves, but my grandmother have! So he named my dad Rudolph Valentino. Lol!
You got that right!
Nope.
It's almost time children. The energy is high. The time is drawing nigh. "Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride".
amazing
lol you digg
dismissed7 they should have put a guide in their in their stride😂
LOL
Yes , its almost time brothers and sisters, to take off on the Mother ship to somewhere else, too many things wrong on planet earth.
I Believe That God Anointed That Man & His Voice My Soul is Stirred Everytime I hear it
It's all about Glenn. The best performance of anything on youtube.
Houston in 76 I can only imagine that afterparty.
I get chills every time I hear Glenn sings at this part of song. This brother was awesome indeed.
Glen Goin's vocal work is fucking stunning. Wow!
You better sang Glenn Goins! #RIP
Man, the Old Spice I got on aint powerful enough to cover up this funk.
+koopatroopa187 I know right? can smell it through my pc speakers
koopatroopa187 Lol yes indeed
koopatroopa187 Aaaaaaayyyyyyy!!!
No it is not. Lol
Groovy baby.
You go to a concert these days to hear singing. You went to concerts back in the day to see performances.
- And this was 1 for sho!!!!!
Back then the Artist could perform and sing.. ERRRBODY !
True genius is timeless. This, has proven, will stand the test of time! If you’re watching this, you’re my friend 🙏🏽🤙🏽🙏🏽🤙🏽
every time I hear Glen voice it makes my eyes water because it touches your heart. the good die young 😢
hell yeah I agree it just chills when he brings down the mother ship 👌
I think he died of lymphoma. Today they routinely treat that form of cancer successfully.
I apologize, I don't know too much about P Funk. Which one is Glen?
the one singing lead on swing down, sweet chariot
Thank you. That's who I was guessing he was.
when i was 10 in 2000 i heard this in NBA 2000. as a young boy from eastern europe that was out of this world indeed ;)
I would pay my life savings to witness this!!!
Brilliant. ! The best post of this upload !

I’m Houston Texas born and raised I would’ve loved to be here back then
Glenn Goins man what a voice RIP
Glen had a voice that was up there in power with James, Otis, and Teddy. Still gives me goosebumps to this day!!
Forgot Arthur Alexander Anna
Don't forget Marvin Junior (The Dells), Levi Stubbs The Four Tops), Edwin Starr (War), Dennis Edwards,
Every young entertainer should watch this to understand what God given talent really looks like!🤷🏽🤫🤫
Glenn Goings was only 22 years old here. You won’t see a 22 year old with soul like that these days.
I thank Mrs Miller my first grade music teacher who taught me about Parliament and funk. Thank you Mrs Miller.
When l die, l'm going back in time and space, to this concert, on my way to heaven
This concert is my heaven!
Glenn Goins, Glenn Goins, Glenn Goins!!! Everytime when the mothership comin... Feelings! 🤟🏽🔥🤟🏽🔥🤟🏽🔥

Glen was the best vocalist by far in p-funk!!
The late Glen Goins going to Chuuuurrrch!
a church service by any other name. the young Glen just stopped by to tart up for the show after leaving a Southern Black Baptist Church. Preach!!
Glen rocks and is very soulful....his life ended prematurely.
Wow 💔
He has a big voice.
I never knew this
@@cherylthompson3452 1978, of Hodgkin's Lymphoma

One of the greatest musical acts this planet has ever witnessed...
Greatest vocal performance ever. Glenn was the g.o.a.t. died way too young. He was only about 21 here when he did this. Magical stuff

Gone but Never Forgotten...........
Who else still playing this jawn in 2020?

Sean Tape The lead on this song was Glen
Fuck you I'm drunk
Best example of Bernie's sinister gangsta keys right here.

If you hear any noise its just me an older Funkadelic 70th Birthday Season..Live And not Die and declare the Word of God.. Funk throughout 71/2 Years dieing of Cancer i was 24 when it started..Gleens heart stayed with me I was Ready To Ride.. Swing Down
remarkable....speaking to our ancestors in rhythm. gets no better than this
Gerald Jackson I feel you.
Glenn Goins was speaking through our ancestors pain.
I had my tickets, my juice and my leafs, ready to board the Mothership via (MSG) way back in (1977) 2 weeks before EWF'S arrival and they CANCELLED, they CANCELLED, due to a death in the group! I saw them in "75 -78 and 79, but I never witnessed the Holy Landing of the Mothership, until now, special thanks funkyfrog51 for allowing me to witness one of the greatest concerts EVER!
TitVidtv That must have been around the time Charles Stepney passed away but his passing was in 1976 during the sessions of the Spirit album.
I'm from Canada and I saw them in Norfolk Va in 1976 at the Scope so thanks for posting ❤️
Put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip. And come on over to the mothership.
The breakdown at 3:23....OMG the horns synthesizer guitars and George on the mic "keep it moving y'all". He kept them tight and inline.
This man was 24 when he died look at what he left if he wasn't anointed then tell
me different he was before his time his voice was god sent and his talent was like an angels only the good die young.
This is honestly one of the greatest videos on the internet. Chills every time I hear the crowd go crazy when they see the mothership coming in. Good god what a band.
Man, George and Parliament are still doing this to every city the Mothership swings down through.
Damn I love this performance. Glen's singing is phenomenal.
+TK TRAV yup....good vocals
Man I'm 22, I want to experience this in person. This is so cool
They have a churchy vibe to them. They are strange but you can't turn away. You are captivated by them.
"Swing down sweet chariot" is an old Black spiritual
Black people are so creative and talented, i love us!!!!!!!
I adore us!!! We are the SALT of the earth!!!
Or yk js ppl in general

This is truly the greatest band in the world!!!!
No argument from me. They're CRAZY! 😎🤯
