George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic
As a major architect of funk, George Clinton deserves a place in music history alongside James Brown and Sly Stone. His work injected inventive energy into the 70s with his albums as leader of the Funkadelic and Parliament outfits.

Why see George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic?
84 Years Old And Still Grooving
Get ready for an interstellar experience as George Clinton once again brings the definitive, ever-evolving funk collective, Parliament Funkadelic, to a stage near you for a party like no other. An American treasure, the octogenarian continues to push the boundaries of the genre, delivering a retrospective live show, as well as sharing new material and surprises at every stop.
Fusing together science fiction storylines with out of this world fashion, psychedelia, surreal humour and of course, grooves so funky they put blue cheese to shame, Clinton and his pioneering outfit was formed in the Doo Wop era of the 50s, but broke through to mainstream success by revolutionising R&B music under the influence of Hendrix, Zappa and Sly Stone.

Four because Fishbone was Great!!! 3 for Parliament
I agree with Deeilray, previous reviewer. Parliament had too many people clumsily running around the stage when the real musicians were playing. What was that? Also, not enuf of GC’s music.

I saw the pianist take a hit or two, threw it on the floor and stamped it with his foot. I wonder if he really got it out - as he was playing. Not cool. We are not in high school anymore.

By the way, the musicians actually playing instruments in both bands were sublime! A treat to hear! ... Read more
