Make YOUR funk the P-Funk! Mar 22 2004
Format:DVD
Not many performances of Parliament/Funkadelic were captured on tape in the 70's, so this is a performance to truly treasure. I was surprised by how good the sound is - at least compared to the picture, which by no means is above a 3/5 standard. That and the fact that there aren't any special features is reason why this DVD, at almost full price, doesn't deserve five stars. Don't let this scare you, though; it's all well worth watching and listening to - if you're a P-Funk fan this is a must, and if you haven't yet quite figured out what funk is - this DVD gives you the perfect answer. Here are over 80 minutes of ultra-funky entertainment from P-Funk's hey day, featuring classics like "Cosmic Slop", "Standing on the Verge...", "Mothership Connection", "Tear the Roof Off..." et al.
The concert was taped in Houston, Texas in 1976. You will experience the landing of the mothership, and just before the encore there's a guest appearance by Bootsy Collins' and Sly Stone's bands. As they all dance, sing and play there's about thirty people on the stage. It just doesn't get any funkier than this.

FUNKED UP P.S. Jun 30 2004

P.S. You could've added a bit of footage on Sly and The Family Stone as they were the warm-up act. Maybe Just their Encore! :o)

Don't Worry About Me Jun 25 2004
Format:DVD
Man I was born in the wrong decade.

I have been following P-Funk since the early 90's and still consider them to be the best live show going (although they have fallen off in the last few years).

It was a real treat to see P-Funk at their height in this DVD. Especially seeing Glen (RIP) perform. I about wet myself when they went into "Funkin For Fun."

My only wish is that this was the complete concert and not the edited down version. Since the average P-Funk show is around 4 hours you know that there was a lot of trimming to get this down to the 83 minutes. Also, whomever did the editing needs to be shot...or at least never allowed near editing equipment again. Cutting Dr. Funkenstein?? And those damn still frames between songs were driving me nuts. My only other "complaint" is that people behind the cameras focused way too much on George and the other vocalists neglecting the musicians. You don't even get one glimpse of who is on drums or bass.

I would hate to think that this is the best footage that is out there from this era but if it is, it is still enough to satisfy.

Funk on'

So the sound and video quality are on par with those cheesy "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert" shows from the 1970s. Read more
