The
first Clones of Funk set started at 10:15pm with some JB's "Soul
Power".....an irresistible scratch rhythm guitar groove (provided by the
Clones's Gerard "Hot Rod" Butler) was accented by a hot saxophone
solo by Derrick!! The saxophone & trumpet (Derrick & Mike) were funky
on the next song, "What We Do" (a Clones original)!
The
second cumming of the Clones got off at 12:10am, with some orgasmic funk shit
called "Funkentelechy" (or FUNK-en-te-LE-CHY)!! Terre beat off the
crowd with some spanking bass while Hot Rod tickled some fancies with some
funky rhythm guitaring!! The horny horns were enough to wet the average
listener's eardrums, while Wesley & Scrape teased the audience with the
question, "Where'd you get your funk from?" Both
"Funkentelechy" and "We Want Bootsy" featured the
all-too-famous horn riff from "Disco-To-Go". After a chant from
Bootsy's "Pinocchio Theory", it was time to get "Up For the Down
Stroke". The band stroked the audience well on "Sir Nose
D'Voiddoffunk (Pay Attention-B3M)" that many folks actually saw "funk
heaven"......the funk was spread on thick on this song! "Cosmic
Slop" was smokin' with the steamy hot lead guitargasms of Hot Rod and the
tight-ass drumming by Smack Daddy....(where is the funklady? I need a towel quick!) "One Nation" and "Bop
Gun" were great, and "Flashlight" set everyone back to the good
ole days of 1978.....booties shook to and fro!! "Better By the Pound"
featured some great vocals by Wesley & Scrape! The Clones of Funk did a
short version of "Red Hot Momma"......red-hot rock guitar goodness
that ended the second set at 1:35am.
