Gary Starchild Shider is one of the most tragically under appreciated musicians and front men of all time. That cat was smooth as funk. RIP

"The Neighbors were talking, calling her "Jezebel", I can here my Mother call, I can here my Mother call. Father, Father it's for the kids, any and everything I did. Please, don't judge me too Strong." That song is deep!!!

actually, this was filmed in 76. michael 'kidd funkadelic' on guitar, with gary (as the Star Child) Shider on vocals and guitar.

Anyone can probably learn to “play” instruments…but it takes a true genius, a true force of nature …to “become one” with their instrument and craft🤘🏽

Eddie Hazel was a beast on guitar and never got the credit as a guitar God but he was. Gary Shider was a damn good guitarist also and vocally he was hell of nice, not to mention how good Glen Goings was when he joined the group may the all rest in peace.

JJ here's a breakdown on the song... One of the most potent grooves in the P-Funk canon, "Cosmic Slop" is also one of their most lyrically incisive tracks, telling the story of a woman with five children who works as a prostitute to feed her family. A God-fearing woman, she prays to the Lord, justifying her sins by pleading that she's doing it for her kids. The Devil hears her call, and answers: Would you like to dance with me? We're doing the cosmic slop

That was Cosmic slop, youngling, a funkadelic song. This song is one of best live performances ever and is a funkadelic classic. Very earthy confluence of blues, rock and soul. Saw this live in 1978. The audio in the recording does not do it justice!

THE FUNK WILL NEVER DIE... FREE YOUR MIND AND YOUR ASS WILL FOLLOW.

George Clinton told me he took what is called a cha cha that he heard in the neighborhood he grew up in and added his own thing to it . Got speak to him on the phone while he was at the doctor’s office my sister worked in ! I asked him specifically about this song . The bass solos in it are awesome ❤

... and you can't deny the musical talent with these guys

Gary Shider portraying "Kidd Funkadelic" also known as "Diaper Man" which is the picture on their Tales of Kidd Funkadelic Album. Talking about a Mother's sacrifice to feed her children. Growing up poor some of us have come to know this harsh truth. The lead guitarist Michael Hampton was called "Kidd Funkadelic" when he auditioned for the band when he was 18 years old. Michael played "Maggot Brain" note for note which impressed George, and the rest is history. "Maggot Brain" is ranked in the top 5 of guitar riffs of all time. So, Jammin, in your two year deadline to become "the greatest guitar player in the world" add "Maggot Brain" to your repertoire. Thank you, for your diligence and honesty in your reactions......

Parliament-Funkadelic is a legendary band. You had to be around during this time growing up on the characters and themes to fully appreciate and understand what they were doing. There's a reason Dr. Dre. Ice Cube, Prince and many more admire and are heavily influenced by this band. #Rock&RollHalloffame.

At least this video give you ideas what to wear for Halloween.

All time classic song.

Michael Hampton (Big hat) was only 18. Funkadelic and Parliament are the same band. Funkadelic features the guitars while Parliament features the horns...

It was 1976 in Houston,Texas

Shout out to Leroy for this request! I've always liked this live performance of Cosmic Slop ✌. This whole concert is dope, this was just the 1st song kicking off the show JJ.

Enjoyable??? BRO! That performance is ICONIC 🔥

I was in the 7th grade I was at that show, when I got older got the opportunity to become part of the funk family,thank you George and sly and the p/funk family

As an old head. It's a damn shame that you or other ppl haven't experienced PFunk! It should be MANDATORY to experience this! No greater band ever.

I don't know how far along you are on your guitar playing, but I told my brother the other day that I'm going to teach myself the guitar😁 Good luck to you, and thanks for sharing.

The first singer is (I think) is Fuzzy and the second singer in the diaper is Gary Shider. The first guitar player is Kidd Funkadelic. There is music video for the song and describes each person(so you can put a face to them)

Increible que la energia de ese concierto traspasa épocas,años y paises. Saludos desde Chile

I've heard the studio version many times but hadn't seen this live performance before. Really great live, more of a rock style than in the studio.

1979 La Coliseum May 26th Motor Booty Affair Funk Festival Funkadelic opened up the concert with ths classic funk jam. Sir Jammin hope all is well

My Brotha you need to see the "LIVE VERSION" of Mothership Connection (9 minute +) version, with the landing of the Mothership. Really something to EXPERIENCE with the VOCALS of the late great Glenn Goins. I believe you'll enjoy it. U won't be disappointed.

That's the magic man him self Mike Hampton kid funkadelic

michael "kid funkadelic" just rips on cosmic slop everytime.

Jammin If you're going to the check out the audio version of "Cosmic Slop" there's a live version which is on their Hardcore Jollies album and the original studio version which is on their Cosmic Slop album....enjoy.....

Gary Shider's amplifier was turned just a little too low during this opening song for their 1975 or 76 Houston TX concert but he is also a great Guitarist.

That’s Star Child in the Diaper. I think you get a better feel for the song on the album instead of live!

BIG FAN, THA FUNK MASTER HIMSELF, SAW THEM 3 TIMEZ , WAT A SHOW !!!!!

Favorite version of this song, hated that sound on Gary Shider's guitar failed.

Yes, the way you type, you could pick a geetar pretty good , I'm sure or play the piano. Love the request & the reaction!🖤🍼🎸☮

The DVD copy I have is like a crown jewel in my collection that I didn't know about until a couple years ago. So POWER. I used to play selections from this once a week, no exceptions. Three hours of the eye! Balls out at the P-Funk show! Stage shows on this level do not exist in today's world. By the end of this, the first song, there are TWICE as many people on stage as when they started. M. Hampton looks like he had a fur budget! And Houston is still singing some of this stuff, as George told them to all night, because he was GONE. Live music has become more of a priority as I approach middle age... My father used to extol its virtues, but I always preferred studio recordings. In my 20s it became about special acts, mostly Stevie Ray Vaughan and Pink Floyd. Now there's plenty more. Have you done Otis Redding at Monterey 67? That version of "Shake" is lightning in a bottle

OF COURSE YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS SONG BEFORE, YOUR PARENTS WERE PROBABLY TEENAGERS WHEN THIS PIECE OF ART JUST CAME OUT.

You got good taste in music, man.

put your sunglasses on y’all it’s the law around here 🙌😎 🤩🛸

Maaaaan you should check out the music video.

Check out Maggot Brain! I went to see them a number of years ago in D.C. and in was literally one of the best show I have ever seen. At that point they were known as George Clinton and the P-Funk All Stars.

He always wore that diaper every time I have ever seen them live.

Check out the audio from the hardcore jollies album to feel the full impact...

They were the same group Parliament ,Funkadelic along Bootsy Colins P Funk all stars They used different names.

This song is going to get stuck in brain!

They influenced the influencers

I think the Gap band sample this on a track early in the morning 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A recommendation to you and ANYone else who ever plans to react to or listen to Funkadelic for the first time: Watch the live footage from THIS show!! While Funkadelic's first 3 records are incredible and actually do a decent job of capturing the band's TRUE sound... When they changed to Parliament-Funkadelic, theres a lot lost in translation on the studio albums! Granted, it's basically IMPOSSIBLE to capture their LIVE energy in a studio

George Clinton said they were putting out an album this past august: Parliament vs O Funk All Stars. I forgot until now…need to check if it was released and if so get it

I love this song

You need to do doctor funkenstein from the same concert or I believe it's the year before it's even better

That would be some serious 'shed time' for you to get there. Can be done. Lock yourself up for a year and do only that. You'll get good!

I was 17 yrs old

The official video is way better, you should check it out.

Also this is one of their best performances as well. Glen Goines killed this. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sKuWfM6mudregWg.html

Young fella, do yourself a favor and listen to Eddie Hazel on Maggot Brain and Good Thoughts Bad Thoughts....

JJ the new prince in a few years Im telling yall

You should check out the movie Cosmic Slop (it’s on KZfaq) ☺️😉 I would tell you plot but I don’t wanna spoil it for anyone 🤐 JJ I would like to see you play the guitar 🎸 I know you’d be very good at it ✨👍🏿💫🖤🤎

Actually it was 1977 bro.

Somebody should invent a fime machine, I would take a trip to the mid '70s to see this show. I'd be one of the few white people in the room...whatever, it would be awesome.

The ultimate version of this is Beverley Theater 1983 with Dennis Chambers on drums, Rodney Skeet Curtis on bass, Blackbyrd McKnight guitars.

React to Parliament - Proof is in the Pudding. I’m Qingdynasty on stream labs

I’ve always loved funk and reggae, but as a non-drinker and drug free I feel I miss out on 60% of the experience… 😎✨👍🏼✨👍🏾✨🤡

lol that's clearly a wig

Do Maggot Brain cuz

Yes JJ they were off the hook....lol he is wearing diapers Leroy nice ❤❤❤

Great video and love your enthusiasm but 2 years to be one of the best guitarist...uh...why will it take you so long? 🤣🤣🤣

OK JJ, two years goes by very quickly. If you’re going to become one of the greatest guitarists you need to jump on it right now and start learning. When you’re performing on stages around the world, I think we’d all love to be able to say, “we knew him when . . .”

Guitar? Listen to Super Stupid from the Funkadelics.

They borrowed space people from labelle

Prince patterned himself after Mike.

George Clinton told me he took what is called a cha cha that he heard in the neighborhood he grew up in and added his own thing to it . Got speak to him on the phone while he was at the doctor’s office my sister worked in ! I asked him specifically about this song . The bass solos in it are awesome ❤
