  • George Clinton and Garry Shider have a good old time getting the crowd pumped and in on the act as they play their legendary live song, "Standing on the Verge..."

    Garry had a pretty powerful voice. Particularly on this early Funkadelic classic. Him and the late Glen Goins had those church voices. George really put together one helluva group of musicians and singers.

    I'm gonna say it once more:
    Us "Old Heads" who experienced P-Funk in their prime--and in my case, happened to BE in the crowd at THIS STOP (Cap. Center, Landover, MD., 2-2-79)--are EDUCATING folks with our first-hand accounts and memories. Ya'll "Newbies" taking notes? Good, because this show was the BOMB!! And you heard it from me, who got into music and theater because of it! Thank You, George!!!

    The thing that still trips my ass out to this day was when we were all leaving the Cap Center at----I'm sure it was a little after 3 AM---that P-Funk pulled a "Mothership Connection" encore, and had all of us rushing to get back inside!! We rocked for another 25 minutes---
    then they sent us all home....
    FUNKIN' AWESOME!!!!
    May the Capitol Center--home of all the good shit back-n-da-day--rest in peace. Great memories there, and P-Funk was the FIRST!!

    Even in DC, we have a living legend who's a contemporary of P-Funk (you've probably heard of Chuck Brown And The Soul Searchers). Chuck's been doing it as long as I remember (back in the day, it was 6 nights per week, 5 hours each!!). We also had OSIRIS, who was inspired by P-Funk, with some 'cosmic Egyptian' thrown in. Also, we had Trouble Funk (inspired by Chuck Brown and P-Funk), and they were monsters back in the early '80s. All legends with a P-Funk connection, or two, or three.

  • @CosmicFunkOSMOSISSTARCASERecCo
    @CosmicFunkOSMOSISSTARCASERecCo 15 років тому +1

    Oh, that's a definite. At the DC Stop (The Capitol Center), The Brides weren't there (they were on the ANTI-TOUR stop at The Howard Theater 4 months earlier, though). PARLET was at the DC Stop (Jeannette, Malia--and I think Sheila Horne). But, that was definitely Jeannette. 4 Months later, Jeannette and Parlet returned for the "Booty Snatchers" tour at Constitution Hall.
    It was a busy 2+Years for P-Funk in DC between Jan. '78 and Dec. '79 ("Gloryhallastoopid" at Cap. Cntr. in Dec. '79.).

    Since the death of James and the fall of Sly, George is the true last original funketeer alive (well Bootsy is one too but since he's younger... ;) )! He's the Black Zappa, Funk's Roland Kirk!

    "Standing on the Verge of Getting it On" always sound best when Eddie Hazel is ripping that melody over and over on his guitar. I wish the cameramen focused less on George and the singers and more on the band behind them.

  • @CosmicFunkOSMOSISSTARCASERecCo

    No my friend, that is DEFINATELY Garry Shider. I was THERE (15 years old, on that coldass February night!!). That was THE MOTOR-BOOTY AFFAIR show at The Capital Centre. My first ever P-Funk show (my first ever major concert), and it will live in my memory. I'm GLAD someone has resurrected those Capital Centre monitor tapes. Oh yea--
    Me and my brothers and our friends were in the balcony!!! "High, ya'll!!"

    Gotcha covered on that, dawg. Hold tight:
    JEANETTE "Baby" WASHINGTON of Parlet. And here's where it got funny:
    Later on during the Motor-Booty segment, the BIRD Prop accidently nudged her ass, and without missing a note (during Aqua-Boogie), she smacked the beak in payback.
    George was reclining back in the Bird's mouth during Aqua Boogie, so it must've been a 'weight issue' on the wires. But, those thangs happen in ALL Live Theater!!

    Well, I was on the floor that night four deep from the stage. I didn't see Glen, cause he was dead by then. Gary has been filling his shoes every since. This show was in '79. And yeah it was cold as hell frozen over outside that night. But I beleive you were there, we all were. If you were a black teen, had the money for the ticket, which I think were $8.50, your parents would let you go and if you liked P-Funk, and had a ride? You were there.lol

    Damn straight! I work in theater NOW because of that show. To this date, I'm still trying to figure out the Lighting/Color-scheme of the "Fish-Tank" effect for the Motor-Booty segment of the show. Blew my mind then (because it was so darn resourceful--just simple lighting and color--and still impressive 30-years and 3 months later.).
    Like you said dawg, the old shows were the liveliest!!! WOOF!

    For that heavy JAZZ, the names were Johnny HODGES and Earl 'Fatha' HINES--yep, Maurice's daddy!!--Louis 'Satchmo' ARMSTRONG, Louis JORDAN--P-Funk's showmanship comes from HIM!--and 'Fats' WALLER. And those Blues Killa's are Jimmy REED, Muddy WATERS, B.B. KING and James COTTON---
    every last one of them I'm still hip to--with P-Funk expanding on all that. And, like you said, it's working for you: Dr. Dre, De La Soul, Black Eye Peas. All P-Funk 'kids'.

    OK, Ok, Ok, babygirl. I apologize to ya'! ^_^ I'll take my "Paintbrush Slap!" like a man. ^_^ But seriously, the "pan-generational thang" not only worked for the funk, but--in my case, and thanks to my dad--the boogie-swing jazz of the late '30s- early '50s that gave way to the funk. My old man hipped be up to HODGES & HINES, ARMSTRONG, JORDAN and WALLER (heavy jazz, all), while my mom was no slouch in the BLUES dept.: REED, WATERS, KING and COTTON.

  • @CosmicFunkOSMOSISSTARCASERecCo

    Sorry buddy, but Glenn Goins was long gone to the "band upstairs" when The Motor Booty Affair was recorded/toured. George, Gary, Junie, Ray and Mudbone and Peanut were the main vocalists on that tour (at least at the Capitol Center that night---I remember it.).

  • @MEGAMIGA

    Hey, be nice now. Some of us couldn't be there b/c we were only 6 years old at the time! But, at least I was born in the 70s so Funk is in my DNA. I'm one of the Children of Production, a member of the Hip Hop generation (80-96 respectively), which is Funk's offspring, grew up listening to George Clinton and Bootsy Collins, saw George in concert twice. Doesn't that count for something? :-)

    PIONEER/GENEON (yup, the anime label) put out a badass concert James did in the '70s on DVD about 4-5 years ago. I'm still trying to get it, because I only saw a snippet of it on a PBS special. It had (a young, glasses-less) Bootsy, looking stoned and plucking the hell outta his bass, with James chanting, "BOOTSY!! YA'LL SAY, 'BOOTSY'!!" It might be out of print, but its a real DVD (you might find it at a used DVD/CD place). But...wow!!

  • @bierehere
    @bierehere 15 років тому

    so this is George Cilnton in this white wig? I'm just trying to figure out who is who in the P-Funk mob, cos they're so amazing. And it's hard for me to find Clinton, as he looks pretty damn different now. Another question:I suppose the main male vocalist is Clinton, I mean the guy who talks during the songs,interacts with the crowd and so on. But is it George? I know that Sheider, Goins, Morrison are often singing, but I mean the main guy.
    I'm the beginer funkster, so forgive me asking these.

And, to verify it: The Columbia House Year In Music Book for 1979 (remember when you got that book when you got albums by mail from Columbia House? ^_^) actually listed that same show (at the Capitol Center) as the biggest selling stop on the Motor-Booty tour (all seats SOLD!!! Me and my brothers were actually STANDING 4 shoulders deep in the balcony!!).
