Parliament Funkadelic - Cosmic Slop - Mothership Connection - Houston 1976

gravityworld.tv...
It was Halloween night and Parliament Funkadelic was about to tear the roof off the
Houston Summit, ready to bless the crowd with their cosmic brew of interplanetary
funk. George Clinton, Bernie Worrell, Bootsy Collins and the rest of the P-Funk
collective were riding the success of their first Top 5 R&B hit, "Give Up The Funk (Tear
The Roof Off The Sucker)," a track that had earned them the kind of radio play that
would bring the masses out to see them live in a stadium-sized arena. The group was
only five dates into the tour when they arrived in Houston, but they were definitely
ready to take it to the stage for an out-of-this-world show like no other.
Taped on October 31, 1976, these seldom-seen performances at the Houston Summit
represent Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic in their ʼ70s prime, in the era of their
Mothership Connection and The Clones Of Dr. Funkenstein LPs-a rare opportunity
for everyone to get their proper dose of The P-Funk.

The sound is INSANE on this recording. Drum cymbals are crisp with a nice warm snare and the bass drum is solid hitting as a heart attack. The bass is nasty and funky, every thumb lick heard. Guitars are raw and electric, ringing out every decibel. Seriously sounds like this thing was recorded yesterday on top notch equipment. It has an amazing sound without being overprocessed.

This is probably the best version of the song, I wish there's an edited audio where Garry's solo also can be heard.

Funkadelic. Revolutionary and unapologetic. Legendary live shows. Albums still considered collectors' items. I will always be in awe and a fan.

They played in Denver 1975 on Halloween and it was a true treat... best concert of all times.

You should search the rhcp version it's a bit more rockish but it's pretty nice, and the chilis are pretty influenced by this great fink band

[@sex6cult9revolution]

Every red-blooded funkateer knows that signature drum intro well and what it means. It means that the Mothership has already delivered you deep into space and has jettisoned you into the ecstatic haze and mania of COSMIC SLOP. So, when you hear those drums, hold on tight to your loved one or friend you went to the show with, because you have now been sucked into the chaotic swirl of the cosmos and -it’s OK, you’re perfectly safe! There’s no danger involved, but surely, you don’t want to go it alone. If you have this experience alone - you may not find any mere mortals to understand your experience. You have been abducted by the good spirits of deepest space and it helps to have someone to corroborate that experience. If you’ve already taken drugs, they will surely kick in at this moment. If you haven’t taken them yet, you may want to - just to get up to speed, but there’s nothing to worry about! If you don’t get this song, it really doesn’t matter. THE SONG WILL GET YOU!

[@georgemckenzie1824]

@SWEETLEAF7174-THOSE LICKS ARE EDDIE HAZELS...YET AND STILL.....THEY BOTH AND pretty much anybody who stepped on stage with them (minus the harem of women who traveled with them) were all the best in the league....no shade can ever be cast upon any of them. george clinton did desk top concert with gary sniders son on guitar, georges kids singing...next generation genius on its way......after all, can anybody imagine who else could come behind these guys????? the funk lives forever.......

[@edwardagyapong9016]

Super funksters gliding through the cosmic space made a brief stop on this earth, delivered the space funk and after that slid through the cosmic sea on a mothership space journey into eternity, with George Clinton at the controls.
