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.

Stingray on the vocals and George too doing an excellent job on the high notes. Bigfoot keeps that beat super funky and groovy.

@ThirdMother-There is a multitude of reasons for why Parliament-Funkadelic never crossed over in the way that other acts did. Their lack of TV exposure has a lot to do with it. They were never featured on Soul Train. And their live show could easily delve into x-rated territory. That is definitely one of the reasons.

@ThirdMother Parliament was very popular. It even filtered out to the bowling alleys of rural Minnesota, as I remember in the day. I think your comparison to Zappa is apt (and he also got a fair bit of radio play and sold a lot of concert tickets) and I do agree that it is strange that lesser stuff sold a lot more. It seems like large bands and highly skilled musicians are hard to come by these days. I remember Rick James saying something like "they don't teach music anymore"

Most recordshops have Zappa records, while Parliament and Funkadelic is often much harder to find - thanks to internet though you can now pretty much find it all.
