I saw the full crew at the Fillmore in SF. about 10 years ago. The band came on stage at 9 PM sharp with a cloud of smoke and the groove started to occur. We left at what we thought was 12 AM but turned out to be 2 AM (5 HRS !!!!) and the band was telling the crowd to stay put as they weren't going anywhere till the sun came up... It was the best concert ever and I've seen the Stones, Led Zep, Lou Reed and Todd Rundgren and those guys are real Pro's... George Clinton is a musical genius...:-) I have the Houston concet on DVD and this show is even better as the band is really revved up. Actually it was in 1998... what a show with so much talent...

[@readymadeflowcancro337]

I've been studying this performance from beginning to end for over four years now. I was taught at a young age that a band's excellence will show in the band's live performance(s). I have always believed that P Funk was a great live band, but this particular performance is Astounding! Three plus hours of Fine Musicianship. The crescendo in "One Nation Under A Groove", from 1:49:40 to the bass line change by Skeet at 1:50:07, Jaw Dropping! Along with Skeet's bass solo and Skeet's duet/exchange with Junie during "Flash Light", and Bernie's synth solo for "Flash Light"... What more can one say? It stands adjacent to Hendrix & Band Of Gypsys at The Fillmore East, Cream at the Winterland, The Grateful Dead at The Fillmore West February 1969, The Allman Brothers Band at The Fillmore East, Yes live at The Rainbow Theater 1972, etc. etc., bands that were renowned for interminable and memorable jams. Once again, this particular performance by P Funk stands beside the aforementioned live performances. Incredible!

Hmm, I'd say Hendrix: Jimi Plays Berkeley (Hear My Train A Coming) over Band of Gypsies, Cream sit down you guys suck 3 white dudes soloing simultaneously is not a jam, Allman Bros yes + Mountain Jam whenever that was, Grateful Dead peaked with The Other One (4/28/71 after the drum solo, starting at 5:09) and jam after ), but Truckin=>Epilogue on Europe 72 (start about 5:40) but yeah I think we're on the same page. Two bands you missed: Fishbone and Living Colour. Saw them together around 1989 and they were the TRUTH.

[@AnthonyNovelli3rd]

@@marksaltveit all fine points, and in a sense the best concerts are the ones you are at and fully present with what they are laying down. I've seen GC several times, and EVERY time it is a revelatory experience. To feel the unity in the crowd totally at the mercy of the funk is *an experience* to which most others pale. I have had highs like that before, and each have their own flavor. I was rocked at an Ohio Players reunion, my friend and I the only white dudes, the place so jammed the audience was one organism - sheeit you could pick your feet off the floor and be carried, with the Tower of Power 10' away. I remember going to the Metro in Chicago for George, getting there an hour and a half into it, dancing for 3 hours, leaving exhausted and they band playing on for hours. The commitment to the audience these concerts had was the thing.... that's arguably why great artists (Queen, Elton John, Santana, Stevie Ray, Prince, and the Chicago blues players too many to name) would create these kinds of shows every single night. They left nothing out. I've been lucky enough to see all these and 3x more that put on absolutely killer shows, and few things in my life are as precious as these memories. Thanks for sharing this piece of musical history.

Funk gettin’ ready to go, funk getting ready to roll......

[@chrisa4695]

Yes. 1978 was my first concert ever. I caught them March 6, 1978, Easter Sunday at the Omni in Atlanta. They were touring behind Funkentelcy vs The Placebo Syndrome. We had nose bleeds seats at the very opposite end of the stage on the very top and very last row. I could barely see but could hear everything. I was only 13. After the show I had a brush with greats was. George Clinton was roaming the arena in full costume carrying the Bop Gun and walked right past me. Cameo was the opening act. They had just released their 2nd album, We All Know Who We Are but we’re still hot with Cardiac Arrest. The Bar-Kay’s were the special guest touring in support of their 2nd Mercury album, Flying High on Your Love. This film features tracks from One Nation Under A Groove which was not released until later in ‘78.

We went into "Standing on the verge of getting it on"! At the end of the song we started to jam it out! So I put some extra bass riffs in there that I were inspired by Richard Boyce! That was the last song of the set! I came off stage and talked to Gary. He said "Boy don't you ever stop playing that bass" expressing that he was impressed by what I had done.

I have to be honest, this has to have one of THE....BADDEST...LIVE INTROS I have EVER SEEN AND HEARD. I mean, the military themed intro (Uncle Jam's Army marching in) then the way the beat dropped for Cholly and the lights came on with everybody just jammin' and getting down. The drummer (can't remember which one that would be) was on EFFIN' POINT with flyest and funkiest drumming I've heard. And Mike Hampton on guitar, the bass, drums were so beautifully complimentary of each other. The whole shit just grabs you and the Brides.......OH MY GAWD!!!! They set it off so damn good at the beginning. I've only seen at least of an hour and a half of this and yet to see the whole thing in it's entirety. It's been a few years since then. Though overall, that intro is my shit!! And with it being just an Anti-Tour, is stupidly underrated. It's getting unoticced sadly. Though hey, we can always share the greatness.

It's crazy cuz I never heard "Cholly" or "Uncle Jam" until I saw this last year. How the hell did i miss those 2? I've been a fan since i was around 6. I used to play my step dad records at night after he would go to bed. I would run the entire Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome album and Knee Deep. But Damn Cholly and Uncle jam became my favorites for the past year now. Love this show.

[@praheightsixty8110]

How old are now?

[@meademorgan6614]

Then you need the Funkadelic Hardcore Jollies and, the Uncle Jam Wants you albums.

[@zeusapollo8688]

Listened to uncle jam recently...so tight

[@chrisa4695]

“Cholly” Funk Getting Ready to Roll is on One Nation Under a Groove.

[@BushcraftingBogan]

Garry Shider and Michael Hampton are amazing individually. Put them together and Funk The World!

[@pastorwheeler4880]

George wasn't late. Sometimes they play a couple of songs before he comes on stage. Most of the time cosmic slop before he comes on stage.

[@T0457-h3s]

True I've seen them about 7vtimes and 3 times basically same deal. True shiwman learned well from the maste. The king James B. He talks about the 1 alot.

[@kennethhighsmith5685]

Never leave home without my Funk!! Had them for Homecoming concert at Lincoln University. Got on the stage crew and got to party with the Funk Mob!!

[@OnALivingSpreeLLC]

Wow 🦾

[@princegiles9309]

The US FUNK mob! Hardcore jollies

[@joecarroll5394]

By Far 1 of the Nastiest version's of Flashlight from back in the 70's featuring so many who have since passed on but FUNK lives On!

[@m.l7091]

The vocal styles are awesome also,everyone bringing different flavor yet still one.😍

[@timanderson9466]

I couldn't begin to imagine how long it took for the sound check.

[@samjohnson994]

45 minutes of sound check ? Gimme back 5 dollars.... Peace

[@myoneblackfriend3151]

I like your comment for obvious reasons.

[@myoneblackfriend3151]

Sam Johnson I bet tickets were only $15 to $20 for this.

[@Saintom13]

Tim they just throw and go

That has to be the best snare I have heard in my life, just cuts through everything , keeps the time and establishes groove so hard.

[@tipplers3417]

Incredible audio on this old concert

[@agumonkey]

all their live are absolute sonic walls of bliss, incredible really

[@davegurbarg9728]

This is the greatest p funk concert I've ever heard of all time ever in history

[@donmilland7606]

A few days later, they played at Detroit's Fox Theatre. I was 14 and sitting 1st row. My brother and I, along with a friend, took the Grand River bus. It was the entire ensemble without the fancy costumes and no mothership. My guitar idol, Mike Hampton, played an Alembic. They basically jammed all their songs for 4 hours.

[@myoneblackfriend3151]

Do you recall how what your price of admission was? I seriously would like to know.

[@redwoodcoaststudio1610]

Nice. Alembic was Owsley's Grateful Dead's sound company I believe? Peas in a pod.

[@totaltech57]

I saw them in Bend Oregon the week before I retired ( 2018 ) and they blew the doors off the building :-) Been watching and sharing their music ever since :-)

[@ggsginc]

Tyrone Lampkin, beats the funk out of the drum kit for 3+ straight hours!!!

[@chrisa4695]

Lampkin is the most underrated of all the PFunk drummers.

[@aaronchristopher812]

The musicianship of parliament is never noted - Every last member brought so much talent to the table

[@dr.priscillareed3976]

BEYOND A CONCERT ~ THIS WAS THE MASTER BRINGING THE MOTHERSHIP TO TAKE US HOME! AFTER THIS NO CONCERT WAS EVER THE SAME~ THEY BROUGHT A WHOLE NEW MEANING

[@victortoth9724]

The solo that starts at 2:33:51 is mind blowingly awesome, funky, subtle, revelatory, pure music heaven!!!! :)

it could be tightened up a little. Kind of a "you had to be there" deal maybe.

[@curtmcgirt4207]

Every so often I have to pull this up and take a deep dive in the funk. So refreshing!!!!

[@jamescollins3130]

The Drums,, Amazing

[@peterhamlinhamlin8908]

This is why you tube is so great. I saw this live in 1980 in Columbia South Carolina. I can see it again in 2021 almost live.!!! 40 years ago bring it back again!!!

[@stayclassic2361]

He let Junie out the cage and I didn't think that could be topped. Then he uncaged Bernie and here he comes droppin some shit on 2 keyboards lookin like he's summoning some shit. Bernie Worrell went Super Saiyan on the keyboard. Never seen anything like that. At first when I heard this I was confused but once I realized all the sounds he was controlling and realized which sounds were his I realized this was one of the craziest things Ive ever seen.

[@tourett666]

through space and time, you are being heard all over the world! thanks for your emotions!

[@DevonSmithLOVES2BLOVED]

"Standing on the verge of getting it on" I used to couldn't stand this song, but they were jamming it on here !! Excellent ...

[@chrisa4695]

Standing is my favorite Funkadelic Song. It’s the reason I became a fan at 10 yers old. I’d love to find a video of them doing the whole song not just the chorus.

[@johnlindsaygreen8547]

Lol you were converted 🎵🎶🎼💥🔥🥂

[@LAfunkboi]

I went to the show a couple nights later in New York. I think it was at the Palladuim on 14 Street. The Brides opened for Pfunk. Blackbird was the new gunslinger in the band. The funk was thick that night as well as the weed and sweat!!! My date that night wanted to leave after the first 3 hour s because she was more disco than the funk but she had a beautiful round ass so I gave into my primal instincts and we bounced. I later found out they played for another hour. Why must I chase the cat indeed !!!
