Bootsy's Rubber Band 1976 The Funkjam

[@andywolf5403]

Halloween, 1976 we dressed up like KISS (Hate them now, hated them then) for trick or treat. If I'd have known about The Mothership then, I'd have dressed up like Bootsy. FUNK puts the FUN in music.

[@amsterdamG2G]

as soon as time travelling is possible i'm going back to the 70s!

[@egongefferie9194]

Am right behind you oh Yeah

[@leslielees5438]

And please let us all remember Bernie Worrell.

[@leewalton6882]

Bernie Worrell is unforgettable He is eternally self evident Bernie is the TRUTH 🤘🏽🙏

[@MrTopcat6969]

Glad I had a chance to see this tour in "76" the Mother Ship landed , in Omaha , Ne . And did it land ! One of the best concert I've seen to this day . Bootsy navigated the landing well . He held his own .

[@stan3437]

Just got my first bass... a Jazz Bass! Ready for the funk!

[@darrelhumphrey6175]

This is serious funk right about here.

[@Shakespeare0423]

Rest in the "P" P-Nut Johnson

[@roryfrank2573]

I second that, Shakespeare0423. This funk is the best!

[@UNbowed62]

The Funk don't quit; it just get funkier! Funk on, Casper!

[@visau1052]

Wow..I finally see bootsy without glasses on

[@jonesmcooper1]

I was just thinking the same thing!

[@leslielees5438]

I have the best memory when I was 15 yo. My mom insisted on coming with me and I was a shy kid. She on the other hand got into it and got high as f*** So i relaxed and enjoyed my music and ignored her. She never understood why my favorite Bootsy song was Pinocchio Theory

[@djwoodywood62]

Caught this at the spectrum in 1976 when Bootsy's Rubberband opened for P Funk. One of my favorite Bassists!!!

[@jasminelucas9929]

They put on a fantastic show we was doing our soul train line dancing

[@jt2727]

The Funk Mob Rules ! Ya had to of been there ! 1977 Oakland colosseum summer 1977 Bootsy rubber Band jammed

[@bkkersey93]

Singers of today! Take major notes and a look at yourself and try to tell me you're musicians. These are musicians!

[@Princess07ish]

Singers today probably can't even play any instruments!!

[@freespirit21newyork]

@@Princess07ish hahaha LOLOL 😂😂😂

[@Palaciofilin]

There are no words to describe this.

[@thefunkosaurus]

If you don't want to Get Down, baby, do what you really feel. Whatever it is, make it real.

[@esquibelle]

Love your outfit as well as incomparale funk Bootsy baby!

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

We need Shout Factory or someone to remaster the audio and clean up the video for this and the rest of the Houston show. Bootsy baby! ⭐️⭐️

[@chrisedwards3214]

All the p funk drummers kicked ass tiki, Tyrone, big foot, Dennis, kash

[@slickrickslopoker8293]

This musta been in HOUSTON TEXAS I was in the house smoking that good weed Give It up the funk waiting for the bomb

[@SmoothJJazzy]

awesome these were the days,,,,, oh sly even made it lol when you listen to bootsy you can hear james brown influence of course he was jb bassist before breaking out.....for all of you who never saw bootsy or pfunk in the 70's and early 80s i feel for you...greatest party ever was a pfunk party

[@Mado42069]

One of the greatest live ever, the mothership just landed in my room, I turned black, grew an afro & star sunglasses appeared on my eyes.. Somebody got the full concert uploaded somewhere ? i searched for days...

[@sugarcharly]

Bootsy is the greatest

[@esquibelle]

Thank you so-o-o-o-o much for posting this. It sure ain't that guy that named himself after a tiny insect who declares himself the great as well as the Dalai Lama 2.0 Mo' like the Dalai Lame

[@danielstengel5937]

Can't P'-funkier! Thank you so for posting bushtales, made my day :-)).

[@kevinkiso7197]

That drummer is spot on the fckn money.

[@chrisedwards3214]

Yeah frank waddy kicked ass

[@playsbass1969]

FRANK KASH WADDY

[@guyfawkes9951]

See, that's the problem nowadays. Bootsy has people stand up and THEN put their hands together. You kids nowadays can EITHER put your hands together OR stand up. But you can't do both! Not to mention "moving your hands like this" AND singing loud. Ya can't multitask the funk like we did back in the old days!!! It don't hurt that Bootsy is positively FLYING...

[@Princess07ish]

Kids today act like zombies and robots!!

[@aliyourbrother1]

Kids these days put their hands on a gun

[@Nitrousoxide2k]

"You kids" he said...gotta love it. You just held up a sign saying "IM EXTREMELY INSECURE AND FULL OF SHIT". Don't try to act like you're Mr Funk, Bootsy's right hand man, here on KZbin, posting comments, like a real rock star does. How's the view from up there?

[@guyfawkes9951]

Holy crap. Take yourself too seriously lately? "You Kids" today don't have any sense of humor, do you?

[@xcaluhbration]

Haha go head!

[@djfade4447]

Hit me 4.51 Rick Gardner !!

[@chrisedwards3214]

[@jonesmcooper1]

[@TENBGOL1]

[@johnreynolds4685]

Glory be, the funk is on me my niggazoids!! Calling the mother ship! Bootzy is a trip! Funny stuff! Bootzy puts the "Jamma" on the Mamma-jamma! lol!

[@sarahjones97]

Bootsy Baby.......hes the man!!

[@oliverecords8524]

Funny how I was watchin a video of him playing for The Godfather in 1971. Black and white stuff, raw afro, sideman focused on playing his bass. It's cool to see him on lead singer / MC mode.

[@nicolehoward323]

[@bedlumproductions]

Such an amazing performance. Pure Funk.

[@Sha0lin01]

[@mmmegameat]

Bootsy be the funkiest Mutha Fuddrucker who ever visited planet Earth.

[@Kurtiz76]

I think Bootsy vocal ability is a little under rated. Sure we all love him with his clowning, but he can really sing.

[@c0mm0ns3nc3]

[@nicolehoward323]
