Gary Clark jr., Corey and the Funk Apostles, Shabazz Palaces, Anderson Paak. There is good music available now it just doesn't come thru mainstream avenues anymore. Because it makes you think and the powers that be don't want you to think. I'm a guitarist and I play all the time but it's hard to get your foot in the door nowadays unless you are some shitty rapper or look like a male or female super model. The mainstream industry is so plastic and toxic now it would make the average person vomit if they knew the truth.

She had this album on 8-track in her buick, this song came on and I was transfixed! For the whole trip I bothered my mother to make this song play again. Too bad that the cassette hadn’t been invented yet!

[@carlwalker9635]

@@russblack443 @Russ Black Im not going to accept your Psuedo-narrative narrative. I'm 56 years old, and will guarantee black people were ALWAYS into both Funkadelic and Parlament from the beginning to the end. White collage venue's were safer environments to listen to Funkadelic than venues in larger black communities because being from Los Angeles, Parliament/Funkadelic were the favorite band of the street gang's like the Crip's, so many black people could not go see them live because of safety concerns, it had NOTHING to do with white people being into this music more than black people. This IS black people's music, so you can keep your fake divide, and conquer narrative to yourself, it does not fly with people who are old enough to know the truth, and who lived it.

Drummers are the key to everything, but are often taken for granted. James Brown said that in funk, ALL the instruments are "the drums". If you think about it, the essence of Funk is that it's like a drum circle with all the counterpoint rhythms.

That is why the public is SO musically illiterate now. Sad.

i remember being a kid in the 70's and early 80's and my cool ass uncle Al would be getting ready for dates and shows listening to earth wind and fire and his favorite p-funk. he'd lay out his clothes to get ready and give me awesome lectures on condoms, self defense strategies when you're out with your girl, how staying sober can be more fun(never really took that lesson to heart) and real, uncensored guy talk that's missing from today's world. big up uncle Al! big up, P-Funk!

Eddie Hazel, a phenomenal guitarist who should of gotten way more recognition , best funk band ever!

[@mr.g702]

Eddie Hazel was up there with the best and was a phenomenal guitarist.

[@TheJayson8899]

His solo album is one of my favourite of all of the P-Funk and P-Funk related projects.

[@kendelano6238]

Yes he was - but it is Michael Hampton playing here, who deserves even more recognition than he gets.

[@thomasbridges7323]

True

[@michaelkepes6125]

With the general public you're probably right but 25yrs after this performance he was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame great band period 😎

So real! Hope P Funk finds a new generation of artist to carry on the tradition of Funk in it's purest form.

[@LowRCS]

Great point. The template sits before them. This shit is Legacy, just can't stand by and let it disappear.

[@williamscarver8040]

I went to a P-Funk Concert back in 2002 in Portsmouth Va. I was shocked by the makeup of the audience. You had Old School black people like me who grew up with P-Funk and nothing but the funk. But you also had an audience of young white kids who proved to be just as big fans as we were. They were singing along with us and knew all the words and band members. It just blew me away! Incredible concert!

[@jayskywalker5049]

KIDD WAS ON FIRE DURING THIS TIME PERIOD

[@lukewood9233]

I cant get enough of this. IS THERE ANYBODY EVEN CLOSE TO THIS CURRENTLY? PLEASE LET ME KNOW

[@davebrown9714]

One of the greatest solo ever do anybody agree 👍🏾

[@bttt2075]

Back when music was music. i am only 33 but most of the music I listen to is 60's/70's. The stuff made today is trash.

[@greer2402]

Not as good as the original

[@yacinezaier9641]

Epic is the only word that comes close to describe this phenomenal performance .

[@dandegenhardt967]

Wish I had been listening to this in the day. Boy did I miss the boat.

[@ZOOTSUITBEATNICK1]

Damn fine music...imo...and damn fine memories too...

[@vaughnchauncy8360]

I agree..I was hooked on this guitar solo by Eddie Hazel when I first heard it in 74..actually folk are afraid to say Hendrix wasn't the best.I would choose Hazel, Goins and Prince in that style

[@garlandwalkerjr1201]

can't get enough of that funky stuff pfunk is here to stay funky always

[@peterpowder8546]

Fantastic stuff

[@cyrilpenzer3361]

THE SINGLE MOST RADICAL thing i have ever seen. Man.... i wish i had been there.

[@puma421]

Agreed.....Check out Zappa Live at the Roxy

[@dragonflysutra3232]

love how one of the best guitar solos rides the deep bass groove.
