Parliament Funkadelic Summoning The Mothership

[@r.i.t95]

Glen Goins brought the mothership down with that voice.

[@luvs2cover]

Glenn sang that Mothership in ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾💯

[@ljmason02]

Yessssss❤🤟🏿

[@simplysexee]

Yesss he did that…

[@raymondshark4521]

One of the greatest performances in MUSIC HISTORY!!!

[@matt82654]

Glen Goins was one of, if not the best vocalist ever to sing anything R&B!!!!!

[@jacquimoore3125]

I watched the Mothership land in Madison Square Garden. One of them flew in over the audience with a guitar wearing a diaper Lolol. But when they hit Flashlight, hundreds of flashlights lit up in the audience! Everybody had some sort of flashlight! Those were the days💖. I tried to make every concert I could get to. A true Funkateer🚀

[@marykayoney-hatt4708]

i was at garden 1976 iwas 17yrrs ago the greatest show on earth

[@uVueD2b]

I was front row when it made a return trip to DFW in '78 - my first concert. The dude to my right had a Space1999 toy gun high as a kite. Two seats to my left was a 9 yr. old boy who at one point George brought him on stage to sing (I think) Get Off Your Ass And Jam... I was so jealous. Thanks, sis!

[@lesleysmith1344]

Quit Playing 😂🎉😂

[@connieemerson7549]

I had the pleasure of seeing this in Philadelphia pa 😊

[@michaelthomas9296]

That was Gary shider

THIS IS NOT A CONCERT...THIS IS AN EXPERIENCE, THE MOTHERSHIP HAS LANDED!

[@lucaghirardi2851]

number one of funk

[@johnfranz6894]

Its a spectacle

[@marilynjackson5983]

The funk energy was definitely in the house that night. Glen Goines was the soul of Parliament/ Funkadelic's! His voice was a mixture of funk and spiritual which created that funky style! RIP Glen!!

[@LooseBooty-ik5cs]

Glenn takin' us to CHURCH!

[@jonsmith848]

Nobody today even comes close to this.. 🛸👍🏼

[@INVISUO]

For long

[@michaelwalls4614]

This was Halloween night Houston Texas 1976. I was there as an 11 year old. It was a mind blowing experience.

[@titilabligue9976]

Me too, I was there as an 5 years old!

[@floydpattersonii4996]

[@marilynjackson5983]

I just can't get enough of Glen Goines sweet and groovy funky style!

[@lostinthematrix1445]

These brothers were a head of their time 2023

[@deronbooze859]

[@mwdaggerstroke]

George Clinton surrounded himself with great musicians

[@user-vq9kn2ix4n]

Right!! As the late Queen Of Soul (Ms. Mallia Franklin) has been quoted saying: "Super talented People recognize Super talent in Others!!!! 🤗❤️👍🏼

[@matsonovstedal6042]

My man Bernie (key to the P) Worell holding it down baby!! RIP on the mothership!!!

[@TheAlgot7]

They were BadAss in those days Band was full of guitar Gunslingers George was full of ideas miss those days

[@INVISUO]

I listen to Funkadellic since I’m 17. I’ m 52. Thank you .

[@queenfba003]

The concert was wild! We went crazy when the mothership came from nowhere and landed. The band had more smoke in the air than the early Snoop Dog concerts.

[@roberthayes2593]

I love the fact that you can tell Prince got a lot of his inspiration for tha funk from these guys.

[@shangchiward4241]

I saw them live in the Oakland coliseum. Funk on the green! Man those were the best concerts ever!!!!😎🤙🏾 Funkateer over here forever!!!

[@michaelhemmings8989]

THE AMAZING GLENN GOINS

[@ljordan15]

I saw this concert in Dallas, I still think this was one of the best concerts I have attended!!! The spaceship coming across the arena!!

[@davidborrelli1081]

I'm embarrassed to say this is the first I have heard these guys live. Every musician is spot on. This is the ultimate live show!

[@christopherweise438]

Impressive isn't it? Just like Zappa the outrageous stuff gets talked about the most.....but the musicianship is top shelf.

[@Backpackfiles]

My friend, even past their heyday, in their "revival era" of the 90s, their shows were absolutely epic.

[@user-sj4cw7pl6j]

I was 18 years old when I got to listen to music. ❤😂

[@JohnnyGuy-go5cg]

Really and truly a Brilliant Concert 🎸🎼🎶🎹......

[@spellerlittlewing]

Ohio 🎨. The concert was wild! We went crazy when the mothership came from nowhere and landed. The band had more smoke in the air than the early Snoop Dog concerts.

[@D.Antony]

[@stanleygrayson3186]

You haven't seen INCREDIBLE until you've seen the Mothership land.I was 16 at the Old Felt forum in NYC.

[@ioanazapp3481]

[@deronbooze859]

I was there. Absolutely nothing comes close.

[@bkkersey93]

[@user-lb5zm4rp4u]

My dad took 2 oakland coliseum n 1977 best concert til this day 4 me I loved G C growing up as a kid from album covers 2 parliament live poster n the album.

[@Backpackfiles]

I was too young for the first generation Mothership, but their 95/96 Mothership ReConnection Tour was nearly as epic. That is the Smithsonian Mothership.

[@davidhunter9242]

Pittsburgh Civic Arena. Unforgettable concert topped by the Mothership. Jaw dropping.

[@sharon18334]

Best concert ever very creative, daribg, genius, innovative. George wore long blonde eig, half naked, smoked weed coning from other planet. We love George!!!!!

[@ljmason02]

[@Asakhalifshow]

[@tyronejohnson7979]

Show this next year for super bowl halftime

[@dee1380]

They aint ready bruh..

[@darryldixon5794]

​@@dee1380 No. They're DEFINITELY not ready! I'm Darryl Dixon. I took Maceo's place on sax when he and Fred Wesley went with Bootsy. Glenn and I left P-Funk at the same time, so I was on stage every night of the Earth Tour. I also feel sorry for the people in the audience of the Parliament-Funkadelic concerts now. They have absolutely no idea of how it was back in 1977 when I was in the band. If they like it now, they would have lost their minds back then. TRUST ME!!

[@darryldixon5794]

I played the sax solo in Flashlight and I also wrote the horn arrangement for Blind Three Mice on the Funkentelechy vs The Placebo Syndrum album.

[@leonboydjr3443]

This song means so much to me .

Why can't we bring back this sense of fantasy and escapism to music. This just looked like plain old fun. Larger than life. However, It seems like today, everything in music has to be political and issues oriented. Today's performers also need to stop trying so hard to be so earthy and relatable. We get it. You're just like one of us (or so you want to think).
