Who on earth would take the time to "dislike" this video? Who thinks this is not some of the most incredible music ever captured??? Everything about it is insane. The horns, the rhythm section, the singers, the lyrics, the arrangements, the solos, the repertoire, the "show"... actually unbelievable.
If you were a musician that learned to play in the 70's, it was musically impossible to be in a band that was not tight...I grew up in Philly, so we had Instant Funk, Breakwater, Back of the Bus, Heavy Weather, Phoenix, MFSB, Fat Larry's Band, Brutus...et Al. But OHIO was crankin' out stone killers: Bootsy, Zapp, Heatwave, Ohio Players, Lakeside, DeBarge...competition Forced you to get in the basement and not come out til you could funk with the best of em...LONG LIVE DA FUNK!
YOU CAN'T FORGET SLAVE FROM DAYTON, OHIO...BOBBY WOMACK FROM CLEVELAND, OHIO...DAZZ BAND FROM CLEVELAND, OHIO...THE ISLEY BROTHERS FROM CINCINNATI, OHIO...TRACY CHAPMAN FROM CLEVELAND, OHIO...AND FINALLY THE O'JAYS FROM CANTON, OHIO & OF COURSE LEVERT FROM CLEVELAND, OHIO!!!
I remember as a young teen girl being totally fucking obsessed with the legendary Bootsy Collins I literally skipped school 🏫 and went out and made my purchase of this album it was quite an experience for me one I couldn't even forget anytime SOON I love this MAN
Those were the days man. As a lil knucklehead I would be in the crowd smoking some good weed and vibeing,cops wouldn't bother you smoking. (The compac center HOUSTON TEXAS). LONG LIVE THA FUNK🎤🎧🎸🎶😎💯🕶🕶
I am glad you guys are saying that... For years i always marvelled how he drove that beat over and over and over and over and over in the MF'ing ground. Geez. That is called damn pocket.
@@nathanwalsh3028 - as a drummer throughout my youth, no argument from me! Loved his drumming. Met him after and show in SF about 5 years ago. Thanked him for being an inspiration.
@@garrisonthad That's cool. I met him too in '96 and got his signed drum sticks. I talked to some members about his playing before... He was always way more aggressive player with the Rubberband than with PFunk for some reason. You could tell he felt it more with Bootsy.
You all should have been in Dayton Ohio at the funkiest show in the world every time they came to Dayton I was rite there tearing the roof off hara arena❤
godDAMN this has to be one of the greatest horn sections I've ever had the pleasure of funkin to!! Maceo Parkers solo at 7:50 is one of the most incredible things I have ever heard!
I found the full concert yay!!! Born in 80 but thanks to my daddy and uncle( who sometimes still thinks it’s the 70s🤦🏾♀️) I understand the awesomeness of Bootsy Collins.
This was some of the finest musicianship at its best! Maceo, Fred, and Rick, I mean what can you say? Bootsy was just so damn funky too. His energy on stage was tops. Playing the hell outta that bass guitar 🎸!
Seen bootsy 75 and he turned the mother out can't believe this funk is gone from our radio. This generation have no idea what they have missed and don't no nothing bout funk. Cause this is pure funk. Ahh the name is bootsy. Funk on baby bubbie
This generation has no idea what they missed because they believe that the shit they call music is the greatest thing ever invented and so called black radio disc jockeys and programmers sold out too BULLSHIT!!! By the way let's not forget the blacks in the record industry no help there.
The drum, guitar , bass work is probably as good as any funk ever created. This textbook stuff really deserves some serious recognition despite the awful recording. Perhaps the best pure funk performance of the era.
mos def. Maceo KILLED it! It was so hot, i had to press pause and cool off before i could press play again. No one left who can blow up a horn like Maceo!!!!
The connection was unbroken till digitisation and the Reagan-era cuts in schools music subsidies. From the Jim Crow era we did our own thing till segregation ended and our music was openly plagiarised. After schools subsidies were cut, fewer musicians came through while COINTELPRO 2.0 ravaged our communities to destroy the vibe from within. This music remains a serious threat to those that promote fear and self-hate, because it upholds secular pride, joy and positive self-esteem in our communities. The imagery being Afro-Futurist inspired by Sun Ra and 60's Spirit Jazz encouraged Pan African connections with Khemitic/Dogon/Yoruba iconography.
He was a BAD bass player-and I'm a bass player, playing pretty much since those days in which this concert was filmed-but for some reason, cats don't acknowledge that was one of the baddest you would ever witness in a live perfromance-and I never understood why...2-1-22.
Actually sitting down with Mr.Collins and all the Pfunk 🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊bassist and guitarist u learn this shit on another level for really real tho I had that pure blessing before some of my FRIENDS started to pass away its called priceless
Anybody else notice that Bootsy sounds a little like Jimi Hendrix when he speaks? I think that has always been his gimmick. I believe he does that in honor of Jimi, who I think he admires very much.
This thang got spread all over the world, joining all nations under the groove. Hell, even up here in viking land we groove to tha P. I bought "One nation" in 1980 and has been hooked since, and it came full circle as I warmed up for the P Funk allstars on the turntables. So cool as the band started to jam on the records I spun, and finally, I got to meet some of the legends.
All yall need to check out live in Louisville 1978 as Bootsy does some things on bass I've never heard before. Listen till the end as Uncle Bootsy shows why he's the baddest bassist ever.
Bootsy Collins and his Rubber Band ,featuring Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley and the JB'S The Funkiest Band (THAT EVER DID IT), and you no that.......................Along With Parliament Funkadelic and Johnny Guitar Watson, THEY WERE THE S-H-I-T and then some... Hell Yeah My Brother.. and please don't forget about James Brown The BOSS....
i saw him in 75 here in London.@ the Hammersmith Odeon, it was the only UK Gig he played . he arrived onstage on a Harley Davidson Motorbike & the Bass was like nothing i have ever heard. so loud i thought the walls were going to fall down on that Old london..now gone , landmark theatre. its amazing to see it again... just as it was, Maceo, Fred......outfits & All. thanks very much for posting the full concert.
I saw this group in 1977, in Detroit, and was I ever impressed-and so were a whole lot of other people-I remember Rick James bitching in either 1978 or 79, about the fact that he sold four times more albums(double platinum)than Bootsy's Rubber Band(for that is what they were called back then)did-Bootsy's group went gold-which was an impressive feat back then, as anyone who remembers will tell you-and yet the people seemed to be more into Bootsy than Rick James! I'll tell you why I believe this was so. Because Bootsy's Rubber Band, as evidenced by this live video from 1976, could DELIVER THE GOODS- and Rick James could not, as far as live performances went-and if he ever did I never got to see or hear about it. You have to understand something people-I was there-and am telling you how it was-don't get me wrong about Rick James either-I love Rick James and The Stone City Band-his/their 1st three lps are classic-but I believe when you do a live concert performance, it sticks in peoples' minds-whether your performance was very good(like here in this video)-or it sucked(like a lot of Rick James concert performances-especially when he toured with Prince[who "killed" it also], in live performance, back in early 1979). And as a result, the people thought more about Bootsy-and this was reflected apparently, in their attitude and the general consensus, coming from the people, back then; hence, Rick James being upset over the "consensus" that people raved about Bootsy, more than they did Rick James, back then. And if you couldn't tell that Bootsy was a hell of a bass player also, something is wrong with you! It's true he was never heralded as one of the greatest bass players of that era-and all time(which he was/is), but I believe this was due to the fact that his STARDOM overrode his MUSICIANSHIP; the people were more into Bootsy the STAR than Bootsy, the BASS PLAYER, due to his band(him included)giving such impressive live shows back then; I could be wrong about so much of this, but I don't believe I am-and that's how I saw the matter then-and still do now. 12-3-21.
Facts, I was only 5 yrs old during the battle.of the Funks. I loved all the super funky heroes. but bootsy always took it too the stage. even at that age I knew the difference. Rick sounded much better live before 1980. There was one show where rick james substituted his bassist in detroit. and it sounded amazing. I love Oscar. but he wasnt very good as a live bassist. this is what killed ricks live sound.. Bootsy only dissapointed me once in the 5 times I saw him. he walked off the stage mid show didnt return. early 1980. it was the best scenery and sound I had heard. but he walked off. like Okay Bye.lol
I always remember Bootsy being heralded as a great bass player, in 78 Rick was just coming out where Bootsy was already a big star coming out of the PFunk universe, at that point they were also way better live, Rick and the Stone City Band got better live later but overall Bootsy had better musicians but Rick was a better front man and his shows were legendary.
FUNK IS: ''Makin' somethin' outta nothin'! Gots to get back to our dreams, our individual visions & creations. The dream of the planet needs an upgrade. Show your love for CREATIVITY that is in all of us.'' ~Bootsy Collins
What happened to the music world today? I miss 70s R&B! I still do listen to it on Spotify however. So many of the musicians are getting older and dying off. Sad
Bootsy came to London in the 70/s at the Hammersmith Odeon.Iwas at both shows .My mate had the camera while i lost my shit .Out of 24 pics he got two good ones .The rest was the back of heads .Fantastic memory's
I was there! Front row. I was 13 and I snuck to the concert. It was an experience I would never forget and made me a funkateer for life!
Awesome 😎
Where in Houston was it?
Houston
I'm jealous for real!! That's awesome!!!
You Just Took My Life’s Dream From Me!! I’m 45 & WISH I Was A Teen In The Late 70’s Not A Baby & Able To Sneak In. Salute To You & The Best “Sneak Move” I’ve Heard Of!!!!!
After seeing this, I can only draw one conclusion: there's a massive funk-deficit in the modern world.
Agreed
Mononeon is bringing it back
Bootsy loves Victor Wooten
D void of funk
In 1973 I dropped out of School and and this new music grabbed my heart soul and mined this is the direction as a bass player I took FUNK
and for a white boy from Alabama had the FUNK at 66 fuck I still do on December 7th 2022 I played a tribute to the Men and Woman of Funk

Parliament live
The funkiest concert ever! who feel the funk agree with me
There's a few that are in the same funkiness league, typically anything 70's from the JB alum's - but this is one of the ones, agree :)
that's funken right!! that's what uncut funk will do to you!!!
ghanax Yes sir
I'm dancing with myself in the office! woopie!
For sure it is - this was Sly and Bootsy and Parliament .... no tour was ever as funky
This is historical footage. Priceless.
Bootsy's Rubber Band augmented by the Horny Horns were off-the-charts great! Never tire of 70's music, I can't FUNKtion without it!
Robert P-nut Johnson and Gary Mudbone Cooper are INCREDIBLE SINGERS! and Franky kash Waddy is a complete trooper with longevity to boot!
Back up vocals no damn joke, musicianship phenomenal Boosty the absolute truth!2021
Damn!! Bootsy's live show was tight as hell!! All that work with James Brown paid off. Frank "Kash" Waddy holdin' it down on drums.
As a drummer and a funk fan Frank is doing more than holding it down.. dude is driving the shit out of that band!!! #WEFUNK
I am glad you guys are saying that... For years i always marvelled how he drove that beat over and over and over and over and over in the MF'ing ground. Geez. That is called damn pocket.

I found the full concert yay!!! Born in 80 but thanks to my daddy and uncle( who sometimes still thinks it’s the 70s🤦🏾♀️) I understand the awesomeness of Bootsy Collins.
Don’t forget mudbone cooper ! The funk lives forever!!
@@scufastros555 Yes!! I found myself googling and looking up the band members. Maceo is still with us as well
I’m born in 78, and this is the music I was born into and raised with ❤
This is like getting a concentrated dose of funk.
This was some of the finest musicianship at its best! Maceo, Fred, and Rick, I mean what can you say? Bootsy was just so damn funky too. His energy on stage was tops. Playing the hell outta that bass guitar 🎸!
Monster Funk at its best 👌😎
Some nights 🌙tighter than Parliament-Funkadelic and George Clinton said that and I must agree 👍👌very loud and James Brown tight
Who could ever get enough of Bootsy? Not me! Thank you for this!
Seen bootsy 75 and he turned the mother out can't believe this funk is gone from our radio. This generation have no idea what they have missed and don't no nothing bout funk. Cause this is pure funk. Ahh the name is bootsy. Funk on baby bubbie

Shout Out from houston baby!!!! 🤟🤟🤟🤟
The drum, guitar , bass work is probably as good as any funk ever created. This textbook stuff really deserves some serious recognition despite the awful recording. Perhaps the best pure funk performance of the era.
Bootsy & Phelps had been grinding away within the James Brown Organization about 6 years prior to excellent show.
I can't believe it's been 40 years. DAMN!
I was, what? 25?? Damn!! My brain thinks I can still move like that...
Maceo's solo on Psychoticbumpschool is the most steaming one I ever heard from a sax.
mos def. Maceo KILLED it! It was so hot, i had to press pause and cool off before i could press play again. No one left who can blow up a horn like Maceo!!!!
i realize it's quite randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to stream newly released tv shows online?
@Bradley Major flixportal =)
@Bentlee Fabian thank you, I went there and it seems to work =) Appreciate it !!
@Bradley Major glad I could help :)
20:00 I listened to this for about a minute! Catfish!!! Why were musicians so much better back then? The bar was just through the ceiling back then.
Bc they had more to play for. More respect was given to music back then.

Bootsy!! Fred!! Maceo!! Give up the funk!!
One of the greatest if not the greatest base player ever. He played base like it was 6 string guitar.
He was a BAD bass player-and I'm a bass player, playing pretty much since those days in which this concert was filmed-but for some reason, cats don't acknowledge that was one of the baddest you would ever witness in a live perfromance-and I never understood why...2-1-22.

That Guitar solo at 20:23 from Catfish Collins! DAMN! INCREDIBLE!
Catfish awesome underrated
Thanks for pointing that out!! You should listen to Very Yes both the studio and live versions! Catfish is amazing!!!!!
What musicianship! Love the horns!
Anybody else notice that Bootsy sounds a little like Jimi Hendrix when he speaks? I think that has always been his gimmick. I believe he does that in honor of Jimi, who I think he admires very much.
He kept his bandmates entertained with his Hendrix imitation. It carried over to the stage and, yes, he loved him some Jimi!
bootsy got plenty of moves from jimi, its all love...
The Jimi Hendrix family actually asked Bootsy to do some voice overs for some Hendrix stuff they put out recently...
This thang got spread all over the world, joining all nations under the groove. Hell, even up here in viking land we groove to tha P.

THEY'RE PROBABLY TRUMP SUPPORTERS BRUH...
Sir Nose DeVoid of Funk. The original funk haters
one of the best shows Ive ever watched WOW
i saw him in 75 here in London.@ the Hammersmith Odeon, it was the only UK Gig he played . he arrived onstage on a Harley Davidson Motorbike & the Bass was like nothing i have ever heard. so loud i thought the walls were going to fall down on that Old london..now gone , landmark theatre.
its amazing to see it again... just as it was, Maceo, Fred......outfits & All. thanks very much for posting the full concert.
Must have been amazing.
it was Jon.

Wow, this is incredible. I never knew this existed. This is great. The Parliament-Funkadelic concert footage has been my favorite for many years.
“And right now we’d like to come out of these DAMN sheets 😂😂😂”
I saw the show in Jackson MS. Outstanding show.
Definitely funky.......I was only 16 when the Mothership landed in Soldgeirs field Chicago, IL
i was there it was hot and an amazing day of music!
At least you got to see the Mothership! I'm jealous! 💜🛸💜👽🤘🏾🎶🎶🎶
I was there, the summer of 79. I believe 20 thousand plus.
I was 16 or 17 when the Mother shop landed in Oakland.
the episodes of "tales from the tour bus" on Bootsy are great,,,,anyone who is a fan of him (and James Brown) should check them out....
Man these guys in the background can SANG! I love these cats man! Go Bootsy YES! Catfish is rippin it man!And Is that Razorsharp? Horny Horns.
High School Class of 78
This gig was on halloween night. 1976. In houston.
You can never repeat the state of funk in the mid-late 70’s.
P-Funk always tore Houston a new one.
Houston loves the funk
Vocals, vocals baby love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😍
First time I saw this on tv 25 years ago I cried and laughed over the funkiness. Still out of this world
LIAR!!! This was never shown on TV 😡😡😡😡😡😡
@@The1trueking1966 why would I lie about this. It was shown on swedish national televion in a program called Musibyrån in the 90:s

I' m a 58 year old German. The longer I watch this the darker my skin gets and my grey hair turns into an Afro!
Funny man Yeah!
OH HELL YEAH!!!! I WAS FUNKING TO THIS BACK IN COLLEGE!🤘
At 50:20, it had gotten so funky and hot in here, the boy playing the cowbell was strugglin' to get outta his shirt.
The Names Bootsy Baby!!!
FUNK IS: ''Makin' somethin' outta nothin'! Gots to get back to our dreams, our individual visions & creations. The dream of the planet needs an upgrade. Show your love for CREATIVITY that is in all of us.'' ~Bootsy Collins
What happened to the music world today? I miss 70s R&B!
I still do listen to it on Spotify however. So many of the musicians are getting older and dying off. Sad
WTF The level of musicianship...wow
Hes controlling the whole thing it's crazy
He learned from james brown....the hardest working man in show business
RIP Mr. Robert P Nut Johnson
Peanut was especial, that voice was so bad. Bootsy was laying it down with his band so smooth.
I had the honour of hanging out with P Nut a few years ago. What a sweet, generous, lovely soul.
Yeah thank you very much I like bootsy Collins myself
Thank you for appreciating the music I play
@@socalled9989LIAR
😳 wow they DESTROYED that stage!!!
Amazing 👏. The only thing left to find is the Sly set. One can dream.

Look I just love it. What a great period of great music that inspired so much.
Heavy, funky, amazing...
