The first concert that I attended in my life was Parliament Funkadelic. The year was 1978 and I was in the 8th grade. Wow, it was a mind-blowing experience. Two decades later, I saw Parliament Funkadelic for the second time and the group's performance was still awesome.
You are extremely lucky. They quality off this band was outstanding. They influenced many rockers later. Gary Moore comes to mind. Cosmic Slop especially.
Esta pedazo de banda, a lo largo de su existencia, cada nota que tocó, siempre provenía de sus almas. Sus melodías te vuelan la mente y se experimenta un hermoso viaje, sin necesidad de ninguna sustancia.
Everything about the first 60 seconds of this clip is perfection. The initial appearance through the smoke, the fit, the head nod to signal the start of the song, the swagger walk down the stairs, the way he daps his homies, the way he signals to his band mates off screen, the way the lady presents his microphone, and the groove obviously. Just perfect
"we love to funk you funkenstein, your funk is the best !" I love it when he comes down the steps - Dr. Funkenstein is the ultimate concert character, the getup, the lyrics, the horns, the back up girls . . . its the bomb!
Back in the 70's and 80's I loved going to see them perform in Detroit, Michigan. Everyone at the concert brought weed and drinks!!! We would pass joints down the rows and strangers would pass their joints to us... we all had liquor and beers and the area staff did not stop us!!! George would ask for someone in the audience to throw him a joint and about 50+ joints would be thrown at him from all across the arena!!! Those were the days!!
Back in 78, I was a long haired, pot smoking teenage white kid who lived in Alexndria VA. Musicwise I was into my ACDC, Led Zepplin, Van Halen and the likes. But I knew this black kid in school, and he would always brag about Pfunk, Well it wasn't my thing at the time.. Guess I was too white for my own good. Till one day this guy got me a ticket to see Pfunk at the Captiol center in DC. I guess he had connections for the tickets, but concerts were not too expensive like they are nowadays. Well I went, and it to this day became one of the most memorible shows I ever went too. Because it didn't matter if you was white, black, hispanic, or whatever, this shit was fucking cool, I mean who else had a show like this? And it taught me a very valueable lesson-that it pays to have an open mind,to take a risk and try something different now and then. FUNK ON PEOPLE!
like you, I had a different taste for music, until I heard this "weird shit" coming from my neighbours room.. I had to investigate it.. Parliament, Undisputed Truth and many more... musically the best choice ever made... Funk on Brother... :)
OMG! It's going on a year already. I miss Garry! funk in peace! There will never be another like you and Parliament-Funkadelic! One of the greatest bands of all time!
@@robertbright-jc3sd Harvey McGee played with US Soul, which also had Boogie and Garry Shider. George poached them from that band when Eddie Hazel and Billy Bass split in ‘71
This live version is actually better than the album version! I was only 3 years old at the time. 1976 was quite a year, evidently! Car Wash, Rocky, Bad News Bears, Rose Royce, Funkadelic, Bootsy, Javelins, Peaceful Barbecues, etc.the good old days!
@@MD-DLive No sir. It was released on May 12, 1976 on Polydor Records. Do the research. Plus, you left out Stevie Wonder's "Songs In The Key Of Life" album which was released in September of '76.
For all you TH-camrs out there making P-FUNK comparisons to Zappa..please just stop it. Zappa was no where in the same league, planet or galaxy in regards to matching the P-FUNK funk.
You be my dog and I'll be your tree. You can pee on me. LMFAO! Was lucky enough to work at the Belly Up Tavern when George Clinton played there. He funked that place hard as hell! In my wildest dreams musicianship makes a huge comeback and saves us from 90% of the crap that passes for music today.
Oh hell yes my freind. ain't no computer, drum machine, sequencer, synphasizer bullshit here. Real music, from real musicians, playing real musical instruments. There is no substitute for the real thing !
If you ever got to see P-Funk you know exactly what you didn't miss! AWESOME SHOWS!!!!! They pplayed 3+ hours straight 2 of the times I saw them. They had the house lights turned on on them at the Majestic in Detroit back in the late 90's.
It shows that Prince got some of his "cool" moves from George. Look at this entrance, the way he walks down the steps... Love both of them. Go FUNK yourselves, y'all!
I have a personalized message from brother George for Mother's Day and I'm so intimidated and anxious to open it lol. Imagine speaking to Dr. Funkenstein himself.
you gotta love peoples lack of caring about anything back then. I mean one of the guitarists was wearing a freaking diaper. If this video isnt the embodiment of funk i dont know what is
as a fan of zeppelin and deep purple... i never thought i would get into funk. But by golly i am funkin this shit up man!!! i am now a intern at the funkadelic school of Dr. Funkenstien.
Clinton walking down those stairs was the most Pimpadelic thing I ever seen
2 Step Pimping 😂
The *ERMINE CANE*
Raw AF!
HELL YEAH🎼🎵🎶🎤💥
Haha
The mothership arrived and Dr. Funkenstein came out to give everyone The Funk. His professional prognosis was funk forever.
The good ole days . Those were the wildest shows next to Rick James it was funky as hell.
@@bmw3842 even James Brown had to up his game when Parliament-Funkadelic and Rick James were touring!

Yes so beautiful!

These guys put some fun into music. Great riffs, tight horn section, lots of double meanings. Creativity at it's finest.

Him coming off that spaceship down the steps is the best! Just brightens my spirit.
My head still can't fathom how good this is... The groove is soooo good...
I’ve been listening to P-Funk for over forty years and it never gets old.
George Clinton…
Bernie Worrell…
That drummer…. 🔥🔥🔥🔥💨💨💨💨
Gary and Glenn 🥹🔥💯
What else can be said?!
Parliament funkadelic 4 ever ‼️❤️💯🔥
George Clinton... William bootsy Collins, Maceo Paquera, Fred Wesley...Very good...funk music...
Live hits so hard... What a track
This song and performance is so bad ass I want this to play every time I wake up in the morning.
No its not . Really like 2000 somethin ? Outdated . Inge uine
Theres no better alias for George then Dr. Funkenstein. The man (and the band) are goddamn geniuses
Used to hear this often as a soldier stationed in West Berlin, 1976-1979.
Parliament funkadelic got a be the coolest band ever...they had idea's no one thought of !!! Love u guys.🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
I was there that night with 3 friends. it was indeed a happening and great performance by a classic group.
Deke Brown I don't need to say how lucky you are.
Delton Brown people today go around leading funkless lives and don't even know it..
Delton Brown I wish I was you lololol
that is incredible
If time machine will be invented, I will go to that concert in the first place!
We love Dr. FUNKENSTEIN ,YoUR FUNK IS THE BEST!!
I can barely even fathom how awesome this is

That was Chicago too. The BEST place to be was in the middle of the aisle. Puff puff pass!
It ought ta be a crime for a groove to be this fonky..
Hatshepsut Kemet criminal posetion of funk in the first degree
Fonky and gawjus!! Ohh, gawjus…I’m talking absolutely gawjus…!!

George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic are playing at the Tallyho in Leesburg on 2-24-17 if you're interested
I wish I still lived in VA, however I live in San Antonio TX now.
im 14 and i like this

one of the best high concept, stage shows during the 70s
People ask me what's great about funk and I say, "go to a youtube page with a good funk song and look at how damn happy all the comments are."
I was there at that concert in Cleveland Ohio...my sister's took me. I never been the same...👍👍👍👍
one of the greatest groups of musicians of all times
OMG! It's going on a year already. I miss Garry! funk in peace! There will never be another like you and Parliament-Funkadelic! One of the greatest bands of all time!
It makes me smile when Clinton is walking down the steps. You just can't contain all that funk
That's when music was good, backyard parties with the famlily
Backyard parties with whole neighborhood.
Aint nothin good unless you play with it...
…….so let’s play with it 🎶
✨🌐✨
🎷💃🏿🕺🏿🎺🎺🎶
my dad played the drums for George Clinton on this concert
Who’s your dad
greg mcgee The drummer on this gig was Mr.Jerome “Bigfoot” Brailey, your father Mr. Harvey Mcgee played with them in the early day’s not on this gig.
your dad had one of the funkiest beat grooves ever on this song.
Really???

This beat is so greasy. Never gets old.
Touche! As a youth, those album covers put stark fear into me.
This is by far the most subdued version of DF that I have ever heard! Slow and funky!
ending of this song is just pure excellence... two funky guitars playin' with eachother... AMAZING !!! 4:40 ->
leolardo I came here again for that ending
Timeless music
В миллионный раз пересматриваю этот концерт. Как же офигенно!
i wouldve loved to have been at this concert...this is what you call a good time haha :D
Thank you for this gem; I was too young to see them back then when they were in their prime.
For all you TH-camrs out there making P-FUNK comparisons to Zappa..please just stop it. Zappa was no where in the same league, planet or galaxy in regards to matching the P-FUNK funk.
Definitely in a funk sense I agree, zappa was his own genius though
This joint cranks sooo damn hard...
George your from another planet!
You're

We'll get there!
rbagel55 hey, synthesizers are fine. Heck, you saw what Bernie did with 'em. Parliament practically made the whole idea of using a synth for bass.
This is real funky music fantastic funk, just like zapp and bootsy rubber band
Sooo smooth I am slidding all over the place

It was 1977 Arrowhead stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. The mothership landed One of the best concerts I ever witnessed

Glenn Goins....!
Cudo’s to your dad! God bless him ❤

Epic!
+Danielle Sullivan super
It shows that Prince got some of his "cool" moves from George.
Look at this entrance, the way he walks down the steps...
Love both of them. Go FUNK yourselves, y'all!
Does anyone remember the live album where the AUDIENCE sang the lyrics to this song? It was POWERFUL and I am looking for that one.
