Man I was born in the wrong decade. I have been following P-Funk since the early 90's and still consider them to be the best live show going (although they have fallen off in the last few years). It was a real treat to see P-Funk at their height in this DVD. Especially seeing Glen (RIP) perform. I about wet myself when they went into "Funkin For Fun." My only wish is that this was the complete concert and not the edited down version. Since the average P-Funk show is around 4 hours you know that there was a lot of trimming to get this down to the 83 minutes. Also, whomever did the editing needs to be shot...or at least never allowed near editing equipment again. Cutting Dr. Funkenstein?? And those damn still frames between songs were driving me nuts. My only other "complaint" is that people behind the cameras focused way too much on George and the other vocalists neglecting the musicians. You don't even get one glimpse of who is on drums or bass. I would hate to think that this is the best footage that is out there from this era but if it is, it is still enough to satisfy. Funk on'

Yes the lighting is poor but this concert was filmed in 1976 and I witnessed it live in Greensboro, NC and to this day, it is the best concert that I have ever attended! Parliment, Funkedelic, and Bootsy's Rubberband were the bands of 1970's. They had there own style of music, own style of stage shows, and the music had a message. But only certain people could grasp the P-Funk idealogy, but the ones that could! It was nothing but a party baby! Back then musicians played real instruments and entertained on stage but the P-Funk boys were the "real deal"! Other outstanding groups of that era were Earth, Wind, and Fire, if you ever get a chance to buy any of there concerts on DVD from that period (70's & 80's) go for it! You won't be disappointed! For all you Funkateers that are still out there, enjoy this collectors item! It is rare and worth the buy! Peace and may the Funk be with you!

good product. just want to let people know this is the same video as the 'LIVE 1976 Mothership Connection' video that came out on another label with the yellow and purple cover.
Terrible visual but fantastic concert. Many of these great concerts sound should be updated sound wise, not only for those of us who love it but for the younger set to hear the greatness we enjoyed also learning musical showmanship.
