Thank you!!

I have the same story. 10 years old. Flint Michigan @ the I.M.A.. my 1st ever

Saw PFunk in Dayton Ohio back in 79-80 Uncle Jam’s Army Wants You. I was 13. Changed my life.

Same year for me I think at soldier field in Chicago...😳

@@JJJJJVVVVVLLLLL There was Doobie in your Funk!

@@michaelharris680 don’t step on my Funk!

no need for the colorism bro

@@chingonbass the colorist remark actually drives home the point, that he would appreciate the P Funk😂

A lot of us love this music even if we dont understand what is happening. just makes me feel good while im listening. I don't even dance. I dont swim or dance. Im too cool, to swim or dance.

Man 4 get about it 2 times

@@dirtsapient9638 put that snoot to use u mutha.

Barry!! What's good funk souldier?

Right on Barry!!

Tank you for giving us the P Funk : grew up listening the music, didn't understood a single word as a French child, but I knew right away I was witnessing greatness in action just by listening to the pure music.

As a white kid who grew up in the 70's, blues rock, metal, psychedelic dominated what I listened to. Decades later I heard Eddie Hazel for the first time and dove in to the Funkadelic/Parliment world. Will go to my grave regretting that it took me 40 years to "discover" this sound.

He sure gets it! I'm diggin how he's diggin. Power and Love baby brothers!

YES :)

Music is for the soul. I grew up when this was created and then release into the world. Let me drop a little bet you didn't know this. Phillipe Wynn from the Spinners who used to sing lead on the song "Sadie" also sung on George Clinton's Parliament. George Clinton is a legend and Icon his career goes all the way back to the 50's. When you can create a sounds and create a Genre you're a legend.

I got here from a couple other reaction videos...like those twins. Man you must really be enjoying the time inside... with the snow 🤣

@@nickpelkey I’m just taking it a day at a time 🤷🏾‍♂️

@@rskeetc We all wanted an Alembic bass when we saw you, Stanley Clarke, and Louis Johnson with one...and I'm a guitar player. 🤩🤘🏾

Awesome

Much respect and love Skeet. You and your folks are forever with me and mine.

Now that's no joke!

Cherokee!! Thanks for the funk history lesson. Did not know it had your fingerprints on it like that. That was genius. You need to let these folks know about you, Lenny Holmes, Bone and Bigfoot together as OFM (Other Funky Music). Y'all got a vibe that is gut-bucket FONKAY!! Better yet, y'all need to get into the studio. We need the FUNK you legends are brewing to keep us hardcore Funkateers stank-faced and stewing!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndV2jZmcz-Cmgp8.html

"The One" comes from James Brown (it really comes from the Black Church, but that's a whole other discussion).

@@NotYourTypicalNegro facts 💯

@@NotYourTypicalNegro and Ray Charles.

Bootsie got the one from playing with James Brown

Was wondering why Junie's & Garry's names hadn't come up. Knew you'd correct that!

That's so true

George I agree totally...this version ain't punk either, but Skeet murders the Beverly Theater version. My guy Greg Thomas from D.C.is on that.

Is there a link??

HIT ME

Man I just purchased the digital album, after listening to your tip (it's beautiful). Like I really need MORE (really bruh, more?) music in my life. Thanks baby!

ON IT

That album is RIDICULOUS!!!! OMG!!

When Maceo says, "Live from LA. It's George Clinton and The P -Funk All Stars!!" And they go into Cosmic Slop, I WAS DONE!!! 🔥🔥🔥

@@spyderj3756 It was almost like Maceo could not even believe (or could barely contain himself) on what was about to be unleashed into your earhole!!

Maggot brain would be cool

My first introduction was probably 1976. I was 11 and already sneaking into my older brothers records when he was at work but one day I saw a strange looking album. The label stood out: Casablanca and I think it said Chocolate City. It had been severely mistreated, scratched up but that album label just had me. Something in my mind was in awe as only the Motown label had that effect with its artist and if it had that distinct Detroit map/ music it was straight. Well the album was Mothership Connection and there was no way it would play. Something intuitively said play it til it won't play. So I played it and the 1st thing I heard was : Good evening Do not attempt to adjust your radio, there is nothing wrong We have taken control as to bring you this special show We will return it to you as soon as you are grooving Welcome to station W-E-F-U-N-K, better known as We-Funk Or deeper still, the Mothership Connection Home of the extraterrestrial brothers Dealers of funky music P.Funk, uncut funk, the bomb Coming to you directly from the Mothership Top of the Chocolate Milky Way, 500,000 kilowatts of P. Funk-power So kick back, dig, while we do it to you in your eardrums And me? I'm known as Lollipop Man, alias the Long-Haired Sucker My motto is: [Hook 1] Make my funk the P. Funk I want my funk uncut Make my funk the P. Funk I wants to get funked up I want the bomb I want the P.Funk I want my funk uncut Make my funk the P. Funk I wants to get funked up Obviously I was hooked and pop music wouldn't do shit for me until the mid 80s and going off to college

One Nation under the Funk

"Awwww WEEEEE...."!!!

CORRECT

You better preach

Correct.

First time I saw "Motor Booty Affair" footage too I tripped off that! Mike playing "Maggot Brain" with Eddie on stage. One of my P Funk friends told me though, "Mike knew Maggot Brain so well that's what got him the gig."

@@DiscoHank Yeah, rumor has it that he played the solo note for note and George and the rest of the crew were pretty blown away! There’s a few live versions where Mike ripsss it too. Like Houston 1978. I mean it’s about as good as a guitar can be played if you ask me. I’m a HUGE fan of both Mike and Eddie.

Mike Kidd Funkadelic has unleashed some Monster Live Performances. The Kidd is Legendary!!

@@geralddecosta320 I have looked through so many live videos of p-funk and found so many hidden gems. The 85 Rockplast video (the one that this performance came from in the video) is among the best I have seen in its entirety. Those videos from like 76 to 79 are absolutely ridiculous when Mike has the Super Strat and the Alembic! They say that Stratocaster he plays is the first ever super strat! It predates Van Halen’s Frankenstrat (which a lot of people thought was the OG). But Mike had 3 humbuckers in that Stratocaster in 1976. And the fact that it was a lefty (Tip of the hat to Hendrix) makes it that much better. The way the strings are strung up makes the low E the longest string. Which I think gives the guitar a totally different sound. I wonder where that guitar is now? A piece of history

Same here, also Michael's guitar solo : it 's not the longest or the fastest, but man it is such an iconic one ! And fun to play too ;)

Skeet left in the 90s

Yes sir!

YES

I’d love to!!!

Are you talking the Funk on the Green with the Brides, and they brought out that giant Funkadelic skull? I was there too brother!

Oh yeah, I like me some T.O.P. Larry Braggs is badass!

@@jeffbenson6102 And their still at it! Saw them with Average White Band in 2018!Great show!!!

@@jamespaivapaiva4460 Grew up with TOP. Seen them 15-20 times. Last time was at NAMM a few years ago. It was cool to see RnB, Metalheads, Jazzers, old, young, and middleaged sing along and know all the songs.

Funny thing about that. If the story is more truth than rumor...it was James Brown who indirectly kicked off Parliament/Funkadelic further evolution. James Brown's music formula always relied on the One. When Bootsy left the JBs he took that with him and passed it on to George Clinton ...it was like an epiphany for George Clinton and everything was on The One from then on.

Yeah Rod!

Hit me.

@@Guitargate kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y82RaNulub7DaHk.html He’s probably talkin about this recording which is actually from ‘77, but there’s a few others from 76 on youtube but they don’t have long guitar solos so idk. ALSO I strongly advocate that you take a look into Eddie Hazel’s deeper cuts for a new potential video. Like you could look up Funkadelic live 1969 which will bring to you 14 minutes of incredible footage of the original Funkadelic lineup playing live (I think it’s the only live footage of that era of PFunk available to us). The funky guitar grooves in that video are AWESOME, it would be so cool if you could break them down. It also features the band seamlessly transitioning in between several of their early songs in a medley-esque way...very tight. Have you heard The Goose by Parliament? If not, you should. So much is talked about Eddie’s blistering loud Maggot Brainy solo work but no one ever talks about or analyzes his incredible rhythm guitar ability, like that which he lays down on The Goose, along with a beautifully funky, subtle and laid back quiet solo towards the end of the jam. PUHLEASE man look at The Goose!

When he said "come here Michael" you already knew it was gonna be a stone groove.

Truth!!

@@Guitargate say hell yeah, "we are children of production, produced in conjunction, with the urgency of our Dr Funkenstein."

I was going to mention that 👍🏾. It’s also the intro to Brides of Funkenstein “Disco to Go”

Thank YOU brother :)

Thanks!!

I’m hip! This brotha on point describing Pfunk! Wish I knew all that theory shiznit he spittin! Would luv to jam with him on my fender Squier! Lol

Correct

“Hope you feel better love” one of the greatest solos of all time, very difficult to play 🎸🎸

No one can do that, sorry

No one can hold a candle next to Ernie isley.

Who's that lady or Summer Breeze, anyone of those would do, especially who's that lady.

WOOF
