Parliament Funkadelic - Rehearsal Session (Newburgh, NY 1976)

[@pestzecke]

Tears come to my eyes when I hear this, every song. In 1978 when I was 15 years old the mothership landed in my hometown. As a German, I didn't understand words, but today I understood everything. I thank God that He sent this group to this planet in my time and I wish that their music accompanies me to death and beyond forever and ever. Thank you God, thank you Parliament Funkadelic. The name contains my first name. My mane is Arlia, yeah. i love you all

Never will forget that concert I seen in Oakland, CA when P-Funk landed the Mothership, it was phenomenal!! What an experience.

[@leethomas7659]

Prince and his New Power cohort are neck and neck in the funk stakes for me.

[@bensonbright]

​@@leethomas7659 Your kidding right! Prince not even close to this . Ohio players , were a force to be reckoned and certainly close second but Funkadelic and Parliament were on another level . Prince went far too commercial after his album Dirty Mind . Great musician though .

This was the first concert I attended. P-Funk Earth Tour at the Capitol Center in Landover Md. One of the best shows I've ever seen. The musicians in the band just straight killed it from the time they hit the stage. Cosmic Slop was the first jam and it never slowed down after that!

[@user-lh9do6on7n]

I was about 10 when I first heard this song. The music just drove me nuts. The lyrics didn't really hit me till years later. The musicianship in this song is just amazing. When I saw them in concert in The Cap Center in D.C they opened up with this song, it was so powerful. Even now its still hits me the same way.

[@waynefoote3781]

I like this way better than the live show! ...........More loose and natural! Thank y'all!!

[@MRSZ5440]

Oh!!!! I was at the Mothership Connection Louisville Gardens 1978 with my trumpet white suit no shirt with some chocolate Mescaline (Peyote) I am glad you posted this clean version were you hear the instruments fist time I herd the rehearsal it brings back memories we were high about a week after the show. thanks for the upload.

[@jp1194]

To set the record straight this is taken from the "George Clinton Presents Parliament, Funkadelic - Mothership Connection Newberg Session" CD with the addition of Cosmic Slop added from Hardcore Jollies which was also taken from the Newberg rehearsals. It came out in 1995 in Japan only but there are counterfeits of it. It is from 1976.

[@Herbsurburb]

[@lonniepeoples2989]

[@jeffreygallman6852]

Mothership landed in philly 1977 greatest show ever

[@FunkATeer-qk7hq]

You can tell these are early times ---> The MOTHERSHIP lands at the beginning of the show. Later, they realised this was a mistake and built up some stanky funky atmosphere before The MOTHERSHIP landed. Saw them plusieurs fois et hung with them on seververal occasions. Totally outstanding and unique band. IF ANYBODY GETS FUNKED UP ---> IT'S GONNA BE WE 🤘🏾

[@0biWanJacobi]

The recording quality is surprisingly good, thanks for uploading!

[@marceluv]

Mothership Connection Newberg Session is a live album by George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic. It was recorded in Hangar E at Stewart Airfield in Newburgh, New York, on September 26, 1976, during the rehearsals for the P-Funk Earth Tour. The live album was released by P-Vine Records in Japan on December 25, 1995.

[@LRCDetroit]

It really doesn’t get better than this!

[@Haulofmusic]

It was more than a show to see but to see & feel this in 1976..it was truly experiencing a movement that stayed with me till this day. All these sharp musicians in the highest prime was killer in Chgo 76 opening up a funky summer in June,

[@reginaldking582]

I saw the mother ship land in Chicago at soldiers field in 1978,my dad got me and my cousin tickets as a graduation present from high school I was 18 and had my mind blown, an unforgettable experience indeed,as a guitarist & Bassist I still to this day get my chops together playing along to the P funk catalog. Thank you Mr Ciinton,Mr Collins and most especially Mr Worrell and the rest of the funkateers.

[@dudeseriously57]

This is an incredible recordong and will always be how I know and remember my favorite music group of all time, George Clinton and The Parlament-Funkadelic. I have had P-Funk-4-Life since I was a child.

Eddie Hazel is my number 1 favorite guitarist of all time, but Eddie's not playing in this one. It's Michael Hampton, Glenn Goins, and Garry Shider on guitars.

Actually Glen left BEFORE Jerome did. Jerome left sometime in April of 1978. He is still in the band in the early part of 1978 as proven in the Houston and Landover videos. - Jaypfunk

Cant help but think that still picture on this video is Gary dressed up as George. I know for sure I saw a show in Santa Monica in the early 80's when George was supposed to have retired from touring. Even though he was dress up like Dr. Funkenstein, I thought something was "off" about him. Then I realized that Gary wasn't anywhere to be seen playing guitar. I'm certain it was Gary. He didn't move like George.

[@MegaMaggot9]

Addendum -- George has always had a goatee and a slight beard. This guy is clean shaven . That ain't George.

[@oddracir28]

It is Garry dressed up as George lol

[@graycegadson]

I saw them at the Beverly Hills Theater in 1983.

that doesn't even look like George.. George and Garry were known for switching off vocals during some shows. sometimes Garry would sing some of George's vocals.
