Bop Gun -Houston 1977

[@LonnLawrence12]

That boy Glen was a bad dude.

[@finlay230]

i wish there was some way to clean up the recording so the audio is better as this is EPIC !!!!

[@thengnetworkcc]

This will NEVER be duplicated. The creative juices were on one accord and created this. They were truly children of production.

[@michaelstewart6040]

Glenn was a force of nature

[@tinaharvey1228]

Glenn dit his thing. 😀

[@tinaharvey1228]

[@loveyourjunos]

Glenn Goins, what a voice! Overall simply fantastic video.

[@tracysunnstott7326]

The drummer! Talk about the "Good Foot"! This is Spiritual Music, Yall! Thanks for posting. Peace & Love!

[@tracysunnstott7326]

Or should I say, The Bigfoot! Peace.

[@soulpeanuts888]

Glen Goins is the most underrated greatest singer. If he was still alive after 1978,P-Funk would be getting better than them we know...

[@jamesthomas83381]

glen goings was da shit for george i wish they never broke that bond then glen's untimely death loved his voice dig!!!

[@KareemPilot]

Glenn Goins was truly astonishing... I have been playing and studying all forms of music for 22 years, from when I was akid and I couldnt name 10 singers as great as him... Think about it, hes a 22 year old kid there!

[@tinaharvey1228]

[@Itz_maddie28]

I love parliament!!! My family has 4 generations listening to it, down to my son who was born listening to it, lol. and he's 9 and still loves it!!! This music NEVER gets old!!!!

[@utuubunnu7014]

[@Abdurazz]

Glen Goins did in fact know how 2 take us 2 the 1st Intergalactic Church of Funk...and Ray Davis made a perfect usher...

[@tinaharvey1228]

[@desidtb]

[@cavs102000]

Glenn's vocals stays wit ya like uh woodpecker with ah headache! when they all sing Red Hot Mama it's like watching some thing you shouldn't miss!

[@jhericurl85]

I wish the radio would play this on my way 2 work. Real musicians and real music. This is the type of music that sticks to your bones.

[@fonkhead]

garry, and glenn was outtasight, but let's not forget 'sting'ray davis with that smooth baritone voice. he knew how to tear the roof off the suckah.rip glenn& ray.

[@rashard4]

Ray Davis is a bass.

[@ioxxd90]

Keep praying, Some people just don't feel the gospel go-go ect ect. But I love it. My wife loves it too. She's learning to play the bass.

[@mackmusic78]

Amen. Glen's voice is like a precursor to Anthony Hamilton.Pure chuchy vocals. Don't forget Bootsy, Ed Hazel and the fact that Glen could play guitar also!!

[@mog5020]

the mothership connection is here!!!!

[@roccotool]

Ya'll need to get over da hump, put a glide in your stride, a dip in your hip, and come up to the Mothership.

[@ioxxd90]

Yes, Yes, YES. THE MOTHERSHIP CONNECTION IS HERE!!!

[@lendtothelord1429]

ON THE 1 BOBBA! 💿🍗🍗

[@derrickunderwood3271]

Glen Goins was funky he kill this and them horns P Funk we want Bootsy

[@ITucker29]

Is the drummer in the pocket or what!!!! That lazy sock cymbal!! Its in there!! Glenn taking us to church!!

[@modifiedcontent]

Cool! This is an embryonic version of Bop Gun. The basis is still Dr. Funkenstein. The horns are playing a bit that resurfaced in Sir Nose D'Voidoffunk. Compare with 'Bop Gun- Houston 1978' - unfortunately without Glenn Goins.

[@tinaharvey1228]

RIGHT on. on the 1☺😁😀😀😁😀💝

[@wever]

i gotta get over the hump

[@philosophershale]

Wow. You don't see too much of the early footage with Glenn Goins.

[@Dezzill1]

There was money made!George was too busy trying to keep everything from the real writers that he got spanked too.Why you think they call it DOPE?!!And Bootsy didn't do all the tracks...they were created by the band equally.No one had sheet music...play this...play that!It was from their souls! & they got ripped off!!...by GC & company

[@rashard4]

Wow. Awed to see your name here Mr. Brailey...saying I am a big fan would be an understatement....I am a lifelong Rubber Fan and Funkateer but yeah, I wish George had been a better businessman...I don't know if it was just bad decisions or bad ethics...but all of you were creative forces who I believe are owed hundreds of millions of $ for your work.

[@dee1380]

muscle memory..

[@Dezzill1]

@Artemias Rivers Been there,heard that.Truth is the Light!

[@lagmuncher]

8:43 Hell yeah man... lol

[@sda1225]

[@BigBlackRod]

@Janko630 This concert was just before the release of "Funkentelechy Vs The Placedo Syndrome", the album from which "Bop Gun (Endangered Species) originated...PEACE.

[@Tubulous123]

Yes!!!! Thank you!!!! 1Nation4Life

[@tommy-buzz-matthews]

[@GAfriq]

[@Aubreyelise2015]

Gc lived in DC before his family moved to Jersey

[@WillieDuet]

yeah, you're right. I love Gary but Glenn would get everyone off their asses!

[@terry47family]

cool, and happy new years. I am a senior citizens who has followed Clinton since the 70s. Love his grove. One the 1 take care and thanks for the enlightenment. Dig Brown live in Spain for a while now, love Wesley he cooks. My son 36, follow Clinton across the country so he knows who is who and who plays with whom. Too bad the best die young. Love Amy Winehouse, she was a bad ass too. check her out.

[@TheSonjaxfactor]

Cool. I will!

[@dee1380]

Them horns tho'..

[@Lar112]

@Janko630 They are blending both tunes together. Mothship Connection and BopGun. Listen closely. I got get over the hump is from Bopgun.

[@tonywarren8393]

Thanks for the info bigfoot. Went to see the P funk Allstars a few years ago and was not to thrilled. I guess I thought they were going to sound like you guys did in the 70's. It was more like the clinton grandkids rap show.

[@rashard4]

Still better than 99 percent of touring bands today.

[@Newjock]

Shit with damn near 60 or over people on and off stage a night , how much do you think he could have gotten paid , but I agree with his vocal abilities P.S that horn line is like off the rickter !

[@ioxxd90]

@Lar112 Bop Gun was just released as a single.....

[@msprissy84]

LOL. If you anit gon get on take yo dead ass home. that line kills me everytime. Hott

[@charmaynewynn7327]

Glenn Goins was the truth

[@unique74muzik]

Sh!t they are going the f##k IN!!!!

[@benjammin420420]

i could listen to these guys groove all day, but its missing eddie

[@PurpleReels]

I got to get over the Hump! I got to get over the Hump! ❤️ I got to get over the Hump! 💜 I got to get over the Hump! 💚 I got to get over the Hump! ,💙✨✨✨✨🦄💜🤘🏽😎🥰

[@danielalsedek2178]

Let me put my sunglasses on, so I can see what I’m doin’!

[@jay290q]

The original P-Funk was Bernie, Gary Shider, Jerome Brailey, and Cordel Boogie Mosoon. Glen came the following year and Mike Hampton came in after Eddie Hazels drug issues but that P- Funk crew was the Funk Mob circa 75-77

[@rashard4]

No. It was George, Eddie, Tawl Ross, Tiki Fulwood, Billy "Bass" Nelson, Bernie, and founding Parliaments Ray Davis, Calvin Simon, Fuzzy Haskins and Grady Thomas, they were Original P-Funk...then it was them with Bootsy's and Catfish on America Eats its Young, and THEN Gary n Boogie and Hampton and other new members......

[@marshahouser4752]

G.O.A.T

[@OrgenaII]

@jnash2929 AMEN. preach. dont forget bout Eddie and the Horny Horns. it was a mega-group, with an allstar at every position. plus, i heard after one tour they all got $25 and a bus ticket home.

[@ioxxd90]

lol. I know that's right.

[@ioxxd90]

First time I saw this video I was like WOAH. They cranking like I don't know what. Especially "Gotta get over the hump". My band used that hook once. We do gospel go go and I told one of the girls to hit that joint and she tore it up with "Gotta get ova da homp" LOL....

[@cehayes74]

Hey Freddy, Westbound Records owns the majority of their music because George put up his publishings as collateral to cover whatever debt he had !!! Now as a end result, he's performing because he has to & has no loot coming in !!!

[@OrgenaII]

@jnash2929 AMEN. preach. dont forget bout the Horny Horns, Eddie. it was a mega-group, with a superstar at every position.

[@terry47family]

Oh, I have a post on youtube. Anthropology and Civil Rights check it out. Discussing my home town and the 1960s civil rights movement

[@terry47family]

The PFunk horn section among the best in the World. CK out James Brown Live in Spain 1971 ( Fred Wesley on trombone/ Bootsy on base = as well as live in Monetrery California, Fred Wesley cooks

[@tinaharvey4373]

I GOT TO GET OVER THE HUMP🍾🎊🎉🎊🎊💽🍾🎼🎼🥁🎙🎧🎤💃💃🎛🎵🎵👽👀

[@MegaDan1310]

@jnash2929 George could not pay know body.He took that advance and it fuck every thing up.That is why eddy tryed to shot him.

[@jimy0803]

P-Funk was a lot of people to pay, and George wasn't banking like a lot of people believed he was. he was getting ripped out of his royalties at the time.

[@ioxxd90]

This is the crankenest video by the band ever. WHen they get into "The Mothership Connection is Here" & "Got to get over the hump" Listen to the crowd!! They have a little "DC" groove here. The horns, all of this. Yeah Glenn had the gift of singing and getting people up. I'm not taking nothing from Garry. Garry is tite in his own way too. But this joint is the bomb........

[@Timmyfunk1]

Unfortunately it isn't on DVD.

[@lindaharr2696]

4 people had to go home.

[@use2slam2]

REAL musicians back then had to work so hard to make money, hell Dallas running back Duane Thomas in an interveiw stated how his contract in 1972 was 40,000 dollars, WTF? now you can be a scrub bench warmer and make a minimum of around 300,000. and back to musicians real musicians playing their own instruments not uding computers to enhance their voice and today you have little snot nose Beiber making millions, what B.S.

[@JimWilderZJMPOPPOP]

Dr Funkensteins Super Grooves !!! facebook.com/groups/DRFUNKENSTEIN/

[@Baggadin]

True, but by that stage Eddie had a lot of problems with drugs and had issues with Clinton. In terms of song writing creativity, you can't compare Hampton to Hazel.

[@Baggadin]

Bollocks. Learn the history of the p-funk. Mike has nothing on Eddie Hazel. Original P-Funk Maggoteer.

[@niv.stream]

its not shit, its shake

[@HardTimesFamilyPride]

Mike Hampton was definitely playing better than Eddie by the time he took over lead duties.
