At
11:15pm, the P-Funk Allstars started their show with the
super-funky,intergalactic groove of "Funkentelechy".....the highlight???
You guessedit.....Lige Curry and his motherfunkin' odorious solo bass
riffs!!!!Lige set it off with some funk-reeking shit that floored thefunkateers
(and you thought your grandma's chitlins was BAD)!!! Equallyodorious was the
lead axe solo of Mr. "Illegal in 50 States" MikeHampton (aka Kidd
Funkadelic)! After some shitty verbalizations byClip Payne concerning the
"Doo Doo Chasers" (or, by its technicalname, "The
Promentalshitbackwashpsychosis Enema Squad"), it wastime for Mr. "The
Ghost of Glen Goins" Steve Boyd to shine on "Bop Gun"!After
everybody got over their humps, it was time for some "UndiscoKidd",
with Belita Woods doing her vocal thang on "The Way She Moves"!The
fans sang the opening refrain "Space People....Universal Love"
for"Cosmic Slop" ALOUD....the breakdown of "Cosmic Slop"
was, of course,where George Clinton emerged from the darkness. Interesting
enough,the breakdown was a little different.....done at a slighter slowertempo,
and then jumping to double speed for about 4 seconds beforereturning to the
previous tempo. Blackbyrd ripped a big hole inthat song with some powerful
hardcore guitar!
George Clinton proclaimed, "It would be ludacris to think that weare new
to this....we do it.....this is what we do!", again &
again."Standing on the Verge of Gettin' It On" featured something
"Goodto Your Earhole". Garry Shider pumped everyone up with the
richharmonies of his vocals on "Pumpin' It Up"! "Bustin'
Loose" wasa hardcore funk jam with some great sax-work by Scott
Taylor,swooping bass licks by Lige, and pyrotechnic guitar attitude
byBlackbyrd!!!! "All Sons of Bitches" featured Belita Woods onlead
vocals. "If Anybody Gets Funked Up (It's Gonna Be You)" wasfollowed
by a song featuring a female vocalist named Kendra.The song sounded familiar
and had the proclamation "Bounceto this....everybody just bounce to
this!" (Actually, it'sa P-Funk song that somebody gave me a little while
back....oneday I'll remember the name of it.) "Flashlight"
featuringthe funky sounds of the horny horns (trumpeteer Bennie
Cowan,saxophonist Scott Taylor, and saxophonist/vocalist Greg Thomas)was great,
and so was "Knee Deep" featuring Greg Thomas onscatting vocals!! The
show ended early due to rain at 1:35am.
