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.
