VIDEO: Parliament Funkadelic, Live in 1969




Can anyone remember what we used to do on the internet before they invented youtube? Check this big old (cosmic)sloppy mess of music I found on there today:

  • George Clinton and the Parliaments, 1969

    Holy. Shit.

    And man, George Clinton is looking like Mr. T's trippy little brother.

    Even by Funkadelic standards, that was extra sloppy (but still pretty fun to watch). My understanding is that, in those early days, the PAs at most venues weren't big enough. They turned up the sound until it was mush.

    I wonder just how MUCH acid George dropped in his whole career?

    I think dropping acid *was* George's career.
