When I was 14 years old, my friends and I went to see the Mothership Connection concert in 1977 at New York City's Madison Square Garden! It was truly a spiritual experience! Glenn Goins was definitely under the guidance of the Holy Spirit when he called for the Mothership to come down, and God guided that ship! The people at the Garden lost their minds that night when that ship came down on that stage! I remember crying and jumping up and down with my friends when God guidrd that ship down in the garden! The crowd erupted in screams just like like the crowd did in Houston! OMG, what a night that was for me! I will never forget that spiritual awakening! I tell my daughter every day about that concert! ❤❤😢😢
+Bigchuck678 I saw this concert in in October 76 or 77. When the mother ship flew over the audience, landed on stage and Dr. Funkenstein came out looking like a Funkay Super Fly, everybody lost their minds.
+EmpressElizabeth1920 I saw the Mothership concert in Madison Square Garden sometime late in 76. Still the funkiest concert I've ever been to and the most fun I've ever had at one!!
there are very rare experience where a vocalist can literally take you on a spiritual journey, when Glenn is summoning the mothership it just feels so real. You can tell he was in another place that night and the creator was right there with him
Glenn Goins died at the age of 24 man....wow!!! what a soulful voice man!!! He took this song to another cosmic slop baby bubba.. REST IN PARADISE YOUNG KING!!
@@electriclioness4607 Me too in PHL, there was a shootout at the Spectrum, blew out a couple of bullet proof windows, nobody left the concert, at this point in my life I praise Jah Rastafari❤💛🌿for Glenn's voice from the creator ‼
Swing Down...I was there when the Mother ship landed in Los Angeles California...An Amazing TIME for me to be in attendance as I was going through stage 4 Cancer I was 28 then today 68..This Song Blesses me knowing Glen was going through at the same time..The Mother Ship landing was Amazing
Glad you’re well. I lost both parents, a grandparent and a few friends to cancer. Luckily a know a few that beat it, including my mom twice before it took her the third time after a long and hard fought battle with stage 4 pancreatic.There isn’t much I hate more that disease. So I’m glad you’re on the mothership as well!
This MAN TOOK ME TO CHURCH. GOD had His hands on Glenn. RIP Peace. Your music lives on in US. You LEFT TO SOON BUT GOD had a Better calling on your LIFE. Fly High Beautiful Angel
This man and his incredible collection of talented musicians is STILL touring to this day! If George Clinton and PF ever come by, YOU MUST see them! They still rock live all these decades later.
I saw the MShip land with Glen's direction in Philly 1976 at the Spectrum...and I am still blessed enough to sway my hips to the VOICE from G-D...Big Up to Glen🙋🏻♀👍🏼❤💛🌿
Glenn was soul. He was just 22 years old here. He unfortunately passed on at the age of 24 after losing a lifelong battle with Hodgekins disease. But he won the ultimate battle when the real mother ship delivered him to his heavenly eternal destination.
Glenn Goins, Bernie Worrell, Eddie Hazel 3 of the most talented musical souls God blessed the earth with.. Now, they continuing their journey through on the mothership through the introgalactic
THIS WAS THE ILLEST SHIT EVER DONE IN A CONCERT! MY OLDEST BROTHER WAS ACTUALLY THERE THAT NIGHT AND HE STILL TALKS ABOUT WHEN THE MOTHERSHIP CAME DOWN!
I had the privilege of meeting Glen Goins in the 70s off stage he was a very humble shy guy and committed to his wife... I respect that.... so many artists are different than they were on stage. RESPECT!!!
It just does not get any better than this!!!! Glen Goines was really calling for The Mothership!!!! This was church!!! If this did not get your spirit stirred then nothing probably will!!!!
Bro listen me and a couple of my partners was at this show .. and when Glenn went into this .. I told my boys .. All we need is somebody to give the benediction because Glenn took us the church with the Holy Spirit.. ..
I remember this when I was a teenager in the 70's. This was awesome. Glen Goins could take you to church...RIP! The Horny Horns at the end are off the charts. I am glad that I grew up during this golden age of funk! This will never ever happen again.
OMG what a comment!!! This is exactly why I read UA-cam comments, for stuff just like this. I put up with the racists, the idiots, and the sycophants just to read comments like these. hahahaha
First time I heard Glenn solo I was literally shock! I felt such amazing presence, I never heard anything like this, This man was unbelievable. Love him forever
Elmo and I went to NYC MSG to see Parliament Funkadelic, Bootsys Rubber Band and Frankie Beverly and Maze. We walk up to the box office the day of the show and I say to the guy in the booth in a very nice voice "Can you give me a good seat"? He responded by giving me and Elmo front row seats for 10 dollars apiece! Now days you can barely get a cup of ice for that! A fantastic performance was had by all! Glen and I were buddies. He used to say to me, as he rolled into Plainfield NJ with that Blue on Blue Cadillac Seville " Youngblood, how you're the first one I see when I come into town"? I'd be walking up to front Street to catch the bus to Union College. He'd give me a ride to the bus stop. Glen was a nice guy. He'd show me how to be innovative with a a simple musical pattern. He also told me "Your hair curls up like this naturally when you become a star"! I remember going to his home after the birth of Kasette, his son. Kasette is sitting on the kitchen table is the bassinet. Bobbi, Glen and I are looking at his fingers. For a new born baby the kid had some long fingers! Glen said "well its just about time for me to go and hit it again" .Back on the road he went! RIP my man! Youngblood
You know the experiences we had as musicians back in the day in Plainfield were amazing, as we look back. Glen was always a great guy and inspiring. I don't know if you remember "The Bags" or me and Kevins Goins Band Deliberated Funk but we had a Band on every Block great times, great times
Jean Moke I'm speaking on what versions were popularized. Know one else today, besides you even knew that Elvis ever recorded this song. Most of Elvis songs weren't originals, who made it first?
Jean Moke No Elvis stole the song from black people idiot! Black people have been singing that song since slavery. In addition, the song Amazing Grace was also stolen from black people while they were singing that tune on the slave ships.
Glenn Goins...... when Glenn takes the lead vocal at 2:00 of this track the ROOF of the Houston Summit officially began to get unhinged. His sensational voice is on full display. R.I.P my dear friend Glenn Goins... Gone too soon. Nipped in the bud.
and in 2023 I listen to the voice from G-D ...I experienced Glenn bringin in the MShip in Philly in 1976 ...and to this day I have never been so captivated like I am with Glenn, but George👎🏼a full time PIMP..been there done that I know too much...ENJOY the FUNK alwaze..🚀🛸🛰❤💛🌿
We are are so fortunate that this masterpiece which belongs in a museum was captured on video for many future generations to see what it really means to sing and play from the heart, and 'dance away, out of your constrictions'... cos this was a point in time not so long ago where extremely talented people were encouraged to express themselves... Free You Mind....
This clip is on permanent display at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC, along with the actual Mothership itself, incredible exhibit!
Outstanding live performance! ❤ 🎉 After listening to rock and reggae music for 25 years, I have just discovered funk. There is a long and funky journey ahead of me. 😅
Listen here, not only could Glen sing.....this man could SANG....this man had a voice God had to call back home....man I swear to you if i could sing like this I would sit in a corner and drive myself crazy just listening......
This song embodies THE ONE! Goins flows deeper than just about the P-Funk Universe; it's a call to ride, to be free, to give up the Funk, to one with the Universe... The Eternal Groove... and each note, each run, brings you higher to a greater part of your soul.... Sing along, dance, and take a trip on The Mothership! SEMPER FUMUS VOBISCUM. May the Funk be with you, always...
George tells of a teenage GLENN who sang backup 4the great SAM COOKE...GLENN'$ voice was sooo strong & beautiful that SAM was actually kinda intimidated & a little jealous of this new'kid'. Luh U Glenn💕💕🎸🎸🎸🎸🎵🎵🎼

Glenn Goins...... when Glenn takes the lead vocal at 2:00 of this track the ROOF of the Houston Summit officially began to get unhinged. His sensational voice is on full display. R.I.P Glenn Goins...
What u r witnessing here will NEVER be done again. A band full a very talented BLACK musicians playing thier asses off. This was the norm back then. All soul and R&B acts could play instruments very well. It doesn't exist anymore. Keep in mind that these guys were only in their 20's and had this much developed musical talent and skill. And Glen....Glen.....well...what else can say? So inspirational; So soulful; So powerful; So talented; So Pfunk...thanks for putting in work young bro. RIP ; )
Could this be the truth of the prophet Ezekiel's vision, where he saw The Most High in the "Mothership" riding on a cloud, dispatch-ing angels to wage war on the wicked heathen, who waged war against His people!?
mj jones yes sir!! Our ancestors sung to them in slavery, “swing low sweet chariot and come to carry us home” ufos in scripture were referred to as chariots fire

Elmo and I went to NYC MSG to see Parliament Funkadelic, Bootsys Rubber Band and Frankie Beverly and Maze. We walk up to the box office the day of the show and I say to the guy in the booth in a very nice voice "Can you give me a good seat"? He responded by giving me and Elmo front row seats for 10 dollars apiece! Now days you can barely get a cup of ice for that! A fantastic performance was had by all! Glen and I were buddies. He used to say to me, as he rolled into Plainfield NJ with that Blue on Blue Cadillac Seville " Youngblood, how you're the first one I see when I come into town"? I'd be walking up to front Street to catch the bus to Union College. He'd give me a ride to the bus stop. Glen was a nice guy. He'd show me how to be innovative with a a simple musical pattern. He also told me "Your hair curls up like this naturally when you become a star"! I remember going to his home after the birth of Kasette, his son. Kasette is sitting on the kitchen table is the bassinet. Bobbi, Glen and I are looking at his fingers. For a new born baby the kid had some long fingers! Glen said "well its just about time for me to go and hit it again" .Back on the road he went!
RIP my man! Youngblood
You know the experiences we had as musicians back in the day in Plainfield were amazing, as we look back. Glen was always a great guy and inspiring. I don't know if you remember "The Bags" or me and Kevins Goins Band Deliberated Funk but we had a Band on every Block great times, great times
Ya'll make sure they play this at my funeral!! Glen dealt with that like it was Easter Sunday Service!!!

I was born in 1988 and I enjoy this type of music. I wish I was born in the 70s. I can tell this generation had fun!
No You wish you were born in the late 50's or early 60s ... otherwise you wouldn't have been old enough to go to these concerts 😊💨💨💨💨
Could you imagine being in the crowd grooving to then looking up with everybody else to see the mothership coming for real GREAT TIMES
I went to everyone of those concerts the bomb
What u r witnessing here will NEVER be done again. A band full a very talented BLACK musicians playing thier asses off. This was the norm back then. All soul and R&B acts could play instruments very well. It doesn't exist anymore. Keep in mind that these guys were only in their 20's and had this much developed musical talent and skill.
And Glen....Glen.....well...what else can say? So inspirational; So soulful; So powerful; So talented; So Pfunk...thanks for putting in work young bro. RIP ; )
Not only that ... They were well educated in occult knowledge and the cosmos :) ...... Parliament was putting hidden knowledge in their music
2:00-5:39 I swear my soul wasn't my own smh some songs aren't meant for words and this is one of them in Jesus name,Amen 🙏
Chills everytime I hear this rendition.
There are speaking about the Niburu. Black folks need that mothership more than ever now.
Sirius B is coming for us ......
Could this be the truth of the prophet Ezekiel's vision, where he saw The Most High in the "Mothership" riding on a cloud, dispatch-ing angels to wage war on the wicked heathen, who waged war against His people!?
Yup, very few people understand what this was about.
mj jones yes sir!! Our ancestors sung to them in slavery, “swing low sweet chariot and come to carry us home” ufos in scripture were referred to as chariots fire
HalleluYah !!!!you better be ready!!!!!!! When the Abi Yah coming!!!!! Do wannna fly Yes!!!!!! Do you wanna ride!!!
