Bernie Worrell performing Mothership Connection (4 camera HD shoot with great audio)

[@kimhaywood2252]

Yes the break down ROCKS!

[@jeremyrebelka]

Mr. Worrell is a magician yet so modest - I admire how brave he is about experimenting. But I'm worried the crowd doesn't really understand what is happening. Also Old Bernie has more grove then any modern players I know - how beautiful - he keeps it all together and makes it flow - yet he is almost invisible - pure magic .

[@abrahamjackson6019]

jeremiasz rebelka So well said, the crowd should be in tears thanking God for being in that moment...

[@pgroove163]

@@abrahamjackson6019 just the way it is.you can't always fault folks.so many great artists in all genres have been ignored or misunderstood.. past , present and future..

[@ritmo113]

RIEP MASTER BERNIE. THE WIZ! THANKS FOR HE VISIT!

[@richardwaserman1206]

One thing for sure . We now know there is Funk after Death!

[@TSPH1992]

He was one helluva musician. light years ahead of his time. experimental and a total badass on the keyboard and the piano. I am more into the rock, hard rock and heavy metal, but I also listen to Talking Heads and Parliament-Funkadelic. I always had respect for this guy. Extremely hard to top! RIP. Mr Worrell

[@mohandas8733]

love that bit ..4mins 26 secs when the sax hits a bad note and bernie recognises it and signals him to carry on..awesome jam !!

[@souloshinobi7307]

I caught that, and that smile Bernie gave him, and kept on funkin'. That crowd pissed me off. No energy and yet he kept having fun. RIP brutha, may your soul live on..

[@abrahamjackson6019]

The crowd is clueless to how blessed they are to be in that moment. They're in the presents of a genius (Bernie Worrell) they can't comprehend.

[@D.King817]

they dont understand!!!

[@pongufogu9457]

Only your ass can comprehend the great mysteries of the world, 'course!

[@paxwallacejazz]

Pretty sure that's not the spirit of the music

[@cherylcarney6350]

So tight. I miss Glenn Goins vocals on this tho....Peace to both you and Glenn in heaven, Bernie💜

[@christopherowens6391]

Glen was a beast on them vocals!

[@anthemmakersmusic]

They think I am crazy when I program the crazy loud stuff

[@anthemmakersmusic]

I melted my last computer from the FUNK!

[@mrinnervisionz]

R.I.P. to the great Bernie Worrell, 1 of my all time top 5 keyboard players . You might have left us from the physical, but your spiritual, & music Genius will live me , until time no more ! I am teaching my 11yr old daughter, who is playing piano, about you, Stevie, Larry, Herbie, George & Greg !

[@HypnoticHollywood]

Bernie Worrell is a classically trained pianist who was a child prodigy (at four he gave his first concert). By the time he was ten, Worrell had performed with the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington D.C. Parliament is from my hometown of Plainfield NJ, I went to highschool with Bernie's daughter and actually just ran into her at a store last night. Other legendary musicians consider Bernie a genius and he's been labeled the Jimi Hendrix of the keyboard.

[@cupidsiza]

FACT!

[@jbsmith1963]

Genius is such an inadequate word to use to describe Bernie, but it's the best I can do.

[@roded6661]

I WOULD'VE lost my mind if I was there! This cat was the KEY ORCHESTRATOR of Funk. To be in the midst if of music history & funk royalty it's hard to watch these folks, who have not a clue, not be in the groove. RIP Mr. Worrell...

[@lennylenz]

I just knew it was going to be super smooth when they hit the bridge!!!!

[@jeromewalters1916]

Just simply Great!

[@gregboyd5653]

One of the baddest keyboard syn clav player in the world Bernie rip

[@KarlMiller-DjKarl]

Glad I found this little gem… ☮🔥

[@shygirlmusiclover]

Mr. Bernie Worrell LEGEND! RIP ♪ ♫ 💙

[@toneyam3643]

Bernie this is the baddest take I ever heard on "Mothership Connection" and the ensemble must have thought the mothership came down and really picked them up because they was on a spiritual level, everybody was digging in deep. I'm happy Berrnie to see you leading your own orchestra and wishing you much success.

[@qunicetoole7497]

This is a nice rendition of Mothership Connection from the Bernie worrell orchestra I love it....the whole band goes HAM (hard as mofo) the last 3 minutes of the song Beautiful..Bernie (RIP) absolutely beautiful, yeah...make my funk the P-Funk! I gots 2 get funked up!!😀👍👍✌👏👏👏👏

[@Myxlplyk]

Randy Villars killed it on the solo. Sooo smooth!

[@paulieism]

Fantastic! I knew Bernie but never heard this version of Mothership! It`s funny how all the Funkadelic Members who have ventured off away from George when I heard their projects it seemed like something was missing. Except for this. This definitely stands up and alone!

[@cookiegood1]

The audience had No idea!

[@cupidsiza]

They were not ready for all that funk!

[@lamethalewis6337]

How can they just sit there (audience)....Im groovin just sitting at my computer!!!! The funk, the funk and nothing but the DAMN FUNK!!!!

[@cupidsiza]

Mr Bernie Worrell hit that! Rest in heavenly Funk sir!

[@rhymeon]

'Swing low, sweet chariot'..... A great band and an awesome rendition of a glorious song. Wow! that Sax solo from 06'10 blew my mind and that just could have been Eddie Hazel himself on the electric right there. Dr Dre, Ice Cube etc STILL owe George Sir Nose, Woo, Bootzilla and the other Parliament Funkadelic composers a lotta dough and like another said in the comments, at least this proves 'There is Funk after death' .. RIP Bernie

[@maggotbrain7499]

This funk is blended into all kind of popular music. Like george is saying the dna of funk. Some owe the funk money, everyone does. This funk was so far from the mainstream,till mainstream started using the concepts of funk. it is now everywhere, in every musicform.

[@peterbrown8889]

doesn't matter about the crowd the music is phenomenal , by phenomenal musicians

[@Jj-fr6rj]

I know he went to the musical genius side of heaven. RIP Bernie.

As we celebrate mediocrity to embarrassing excess, true genius passes virtually unnoticed, except to those beautiful few... it is with you I celebrate these divine moments. Rest in power Bernie.

Does anyone know of this recording? I don’t think it was ever on KZbin, this is the first time I’ve checked in years. Thanks in advance!

xoxoxoxo Bernie

[@revmarcusstee3]

Tell me that's NOT real people in audience

[@maggotbrain7499]

They are real people but white. First you are in shock, when the music takes you. It is a mind thing first. Then the logic hits you. Everyone is contributing equally to the flow. You can hear everyone making it funky, and it is a fine feeling. It looks like out of another galaxy till you realize it involve you to. Everybody can funk, just be real.

[@gavincrump9831]

Maggot Brain if you’re saying white people in general can’t/don’t groove, that is straight racist

[@sonsofthesportsguy]

RIP

[@JessAnonymous]

Google brought me here 😂 amazing

[@DJ_Pigg]

What the fuck is going on? The audience is SITTING DOWN all through that song? What? I don't understand. Why are they not on their feet? And then on their knees, bowing down to a funk god? Bernie, RIP

[@commentor3019]

It's the Blue Wisp. I used to call the clique that prevailed at the Blue Wisp "the Aryan Brotherhood." This is probably after its final move when it was well on the way out.

[@Jj-fr6rj]

I know. I can't sit still when I hear the Funk, James Brown or Salsa. Got to get up and get on the good foot!

[@SR388LovesYou]

Your logo's about the same quality as a guy who rips music videos for Kazaa in 2001. You need a graphic designer under 57 years old to help you with it. It's not professional. I edited this because you might reply to that point with some semantic: It's not good. Forget professional. I felt like someone was about to shout "INJECTED WITH A POISON!" like I'm pirating stuff on my mom's computer and the internet's still new. I'm not and it isn't, though.
