Funkentelechy (Part 2)- Houston 1978

[@TonyPanama]

Skeet + Bass = Goosebumps

[@thengnetworkcc]

See how under rated Skeet is. This guy was very young holding down the funkiest band ever!

[@clarksims7212]

Clay Horton he's funkier than bootsy to me

[@Bohughes81]

K. Clay Horton Ministries right which is why I keep wondering why I haven't heard much about him when I was younger

[@ErinDeNis]

He sure was

[@j.merchant-smith7900]

He would have had to recorded a solo album to get more shine, but Bootsy had two things going. He wrote and played that bass.

[@alanjeter6789]

People just don't realize how talented these musicians are.

[@michaelconner1771]

The Definition of a Band before Mint Condition aptly coined the phrase....can't forget E.W.F. in this however.

[@vectortrio]

I saw that tour in 1978, in Tidewater VA....these guys were funkin harder than anybody in the history of the world. In fact just watching this video is curing my ills...god DAMN. The world is enriched by these musicians.

[@mathewfoster2058]

I heard that. Curing mine too.

[@bigmoneygrifff203]

I was 16 years old when I first saw P-Funk at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh! My brain was damaged on that day! I'm 60 now, and I'm still all funked up! 😎

[@basquait1]

Frosh at 15 in '79!!!

[@harrellparks2958]

That's so true.when they came out with that mothership connection my world was changed.

[@seanjpstroud]

The greatest band ever, bar none, at their peak. My all-time fave tune.Thanks so much for sharing this.

[@MykeSingleton]

Props to Skeet!!!!!!!!!!! i finally to tell him how he influenced my style skeet the best of the funk mobs bass players! myke soul sychedelics

[@basquait1]

[@pongufogu9457]

Ah...so I was right! It's an Alembic 💣

[@CandySlim501]

Oh shit just finding this! Mind blown 🗯️

[@LonnellRich]

Hip hop owes these guys so much

[@basquait1]

Hands down...this is one of the funkiest live VERSION...I have heard in my 30 years of listening to them! Its on the.....1! Get it...!

[@oldschoolruler]

The funk saved us all when Hendrix moved on to the next level...this is without a doubt...THE FUNKIEST offering by Parliament, the only cut that comes close is The JB's, 'Doin' It To Death'...this funk is so round, so firm...so FULLY PACKED...'where'd you get YOUR funk from?'

[@boogienights828]

👍

[@Ori0n1975]

"Would you trade your funk for what's behind the 3rd door?" My favorite song by Parliament. Love it.

[@derekwoodson6479]

I've been looking for this...Skeet was the Man at a Young age...saw him in Memphis in 1977...he was just a funky in that show as well!!!

[@sofbensi6581]

I saw SKEET 2 times in France with MACEO. ..It was great

[@Taaron313]

Skeet was definitely checking out a lot of Jaco and Stanley Clarke. Larry Graham and Paul Jackson too.

[@minorsnow5306]

Taaron313 .....yess Morris!!!

[@Bohughes81]

Yes sir

[@mattfoley6082]

Yup. Heard a taste of Swamp Rat in there.

[@cdubb2287]

And once again the funk has come to the rescue of the pleasure principle. And everybody was funkin y'all!! Funk me!!!

[@benjaminwilliams3987]

My favorite jam !! Feel in my bones.

[@basquait1]

Brother. One of favourites as well.

[@StevieDebe]

The Funk will set you free. Keep funk alive. Skeet and Michael rock like a mug.

[@h2junkey]

Just think, we are watching the dude responsible for some of the baddest bass lines ever played!

[@emeraldgreenndrums]

h2junkey that's how I feel about this clip. It's a big deal for me!

[@AnFOI]

[@basquait1]

I invited a young lady to see George-First Avenue MPLS in 08- and surprisingly she never seen him in concert. I had to warn her that she was in for a treat and prepare her ears for 4 HOURS of NON-STOP FUNK! George stayed in the 60' s and 70's all nite! It was FUNKYLISCIOUS!

[@cjjaxxon]

@oRuTRa45 Yeah when it comes to getting a more treble sound out of Alembics Skeet, John Entwhistle, Stanley Clark and Mark King seem to do it well.

[@SmakitNicely]

[@muzikman183]

[@pongufogu9457]

[@funkmydelic]

Rodney Skeets Curtis. ‘. Nuff said

[@slickrickslopoker8293]

Skeet shoul have been arrested for assault, cause he best that basses ass. Pluckin n thumpin

[@Nasute]

Ashame these young kids got this crap to listen to now. They didn't have this real music n its all programmed beats and sound effects.

[@clacy7]

i think my face is stuck.

[@xnodie]

wow is that boosty c

[@raccoonfrickingwizard]

LOL...That solo was horrible because he didn't have Eddie Hazel licks to copy from. Mike Hampton is flippin garbage

[@djosephj]

Really? If that's how you truly feel that kinda sucks for you. I love them both. If you're really into Eddie I hope you have checked out his album Games Dames And Guitar Thangs!

[@klauszik]

You don't get what it's all about.

[@djosephj]

Lookie here! I found the gate keepers of soul! I found the guys that say who is funky and who is not. You sanctimonious fools are too small minded to realize the tiny box you have trapped yourselves in! Free your mind brothers...otherwise it's more of the same unfunky unlucky fatherless cycle for you!

[@airsign81]

lyricaladaud YOU QWAZY!!!

[@OlandoMcCall]

​@@djosephj😂😂😂😂

[@CherylNye]

Fantastic!❤💜💗

[@ErinDeNis]

How old was Skeet at this time? George back there whispering, “I wantchya to get it.” 😆🔥

[@ErinDeNis]

Wait, was that Junie back there behind Bernie?
