I am an old head, I never knew that Clinton had a chick on horns. A head of his time. as well as Sly, thanks for this post, from US South Mississippi at 64 still on the funk

[@cursedswordsman]

Wow, trombone guy KILLED it!!!

[@mah8848]

Black People got so much damn Soul! The sister on the trumpet is a beast what her name? The whole horn section was tight!

[@robertbright-jc3sd]

Mah 88 Her name is Valerie Drayton

[@1funkydrummer]

The horn section was Darryl Dixon - Sax, Clay Lawrey - Trombone, Valerie Drayton - Trumpet, Danny Cortez - Trumpet. They replaced Fred, Maceo & The Horny Horns. When Bootsy started headlining his own shows The Horny Horns left P-Funk.

[@rhite12]

This is absolutely one of, if not the best version of Dr. Funkenstein. All original. Seriously I must have gone to about 20 P-Funk concerts starting in about 1978. Cordell Monson on that Rickenbocker bass was the lick. Thanks for this post. Ever funking on.

[@deronjackson8657]

Who's that tbow player he towed it up

[@rhite12]

@@deronjackson8657 not sure my fellow funkateer but Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker was a part of the horns too. I think it was Fred Wesley on trombone.

[@DJGary0910]

Bootsy is my guy but That Cordell Monson was different

[@Dezzill1]

Clay Lowery on Trombone☆

[@gautamdevgun333]

​@@rhite12Definitely not Fred. He is largely built unlike this dude. I guess the entire horn section was a replacement of the horny horns for a short while because I am not able to recognise any of the players except the trumpet player.

[@YasumotoUS]

My god. I was five years of age when this was performed. I didn't know it at the time, but I was secretly funking even at such a young age.

this was their their best tour before Jerome and Glenn were fired

[@ronaldwilliams2295]

They weren't fired bro they quit because George wasn't paying them right

[@Dezzill1]

The Horn section was fired too!!??

[@PhuckHue2]

@@Dezzill1 I remember you commented in a video that ya'll were fired

[@robmorrison1043]

after watching this, i am reminded how great EW&F and Maurice White was. Maurice sophisticated funk,soul, jazz and made it complex and commercially successful, something George the one trick pony could never do. Clinton liked to disrespect Maurice and EW&F, but Maurice had more talent and musicianship in his pinky.

[@rolandbush8463]

Doo wop, soul, black rock, funk, George was more than a one trick pony. Funk combines all the previous African American music with the outrage that was the sixties. So it was created by and for one people who understood the complexities of the music and was welcomed wholeheartedly. Clinton's Mothership Connection tour to this day is legendary, I don't know how an EW&F show matches up (never been to one). Never knew Clinton to ridicule White, only other funk groups and EW&F was not in that boat. Non African Americans may like funk but they'll never know and understand what it was about.

[@TheLfunk77]

Lmao whatever u say

[@rolandbush8463]

@@TheLfunk77 Thank you

[@OriginalOldSkoolFunk]

Bro... respectively...you're out there in the pyramids with Maurice. I absolutely love EWF and Maurice White and PFunk also. Seen both groups live dozens of times over the past 4 decades and never left a show without being thouroghly funktified.. Met George a couple of times and never heard him badmouth EWF or any other group for that matter. Calling the Funk Mob a one truck pony is very shortsighted. These fellas, Doo Wopped, Rocked, Funked, Jazzed, Souled, R&Bed their way into the Rock and Roll HOF. George's stable of exceptional musicians where Masters of many genres...as we're the fellas from EWF. No need to pick side. Free your mind, and your ass will follow...🤩🤘🏾

[@robmorrison1043]

@@OriginalOldSkoolFunk Bro, do some research on George( everything sounds the same) Clinton. He ABSOLUTELY would take shots at EW&F, calling them something like Earth, Wind and No Fire. The guy was just trying to hide his envy and insecurity over the fact that Maurice had more talent, musicality, sophistication and commercial success in a week, then Clinton had in his average career. Comparing Maurice to Clinton is like comparing the Mona Lisa to a comic book.
