COSMIC SLOP
Do not miss the Mother Ship. Make your Funk the P Funk!
Unsung musical hero
Well it would be an understatement to say that George Clinton and the gang should be place next to or above the Beetles and all the other bands.Everyone from Prince and every black/white rock band learned from them. The best band to ever( Funkadelic/ Parliament to play funk and rock at the same time.
Four because Fishbone was Great!!! 3 for Parliament
I agree with Deeilray, previous reviewer. Parliament had too many people clumsily running around the stage when the real musicians were playing. What was that? Also, not enuf of GC’s music. Most of all, the smoking on stage (passing it around) by everyone it seemed was not good. Does anyone remember the RI Club fire. I saw the pianist take a hit or two, threw it on the floor and stamped it with his foot. I wonder if he really got it out - as he was playing. Not cool. We are not in high school anymore. Fishbone was excellent! Never heard of them but will be looking for them from now on! By the way, the musicians actually playing instruments in both bands were sublime! A treat to hear!
It was end of the tour, the gig was a lil disjointed
Please don't give up on them just yet. I admittedly feel they had an off night but the Funk is not gone. We seem 'em over at Indy the night before and it was a different gig. It's not the 1990s anymore, he had some of the best gigs I've seen on earth. Fly on GC
I agree with the previous review
PARLIAMENT NO LONGER EXISTS Last night's show was a perfect example of when to let something go. My kid absolutely did not purchase tickets as a gift for me to see the sad watered down version of my favorite funk icon. I had to keep reminding myself that George is 82 years old and there are no remaining original members of Parliament Funkadelic. He is not the psychedelic, wild haired icon we remember. He is a really cute chubby bald grandpa. 5 minutes of Cosmic Slop, 3 minutes of Atomic Dog and 2 minutes of Flashlight then a plethora of music from other groups. George has so much music. His current band members are great artists individually but have NO understanding of ONE BAND, ONE SOUND. George did most of the show from a chair, understandable he's 82. There was absolutely no stage etiquette. The dancers were just everywhere doing whatever. People who were not dancers or part of the band all over the stage. Definitely a hot UNFUNKY mess. I will still love my memories of George but Parliament is gone.
