StoneMtn Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 This made me laugh. Someone on another board just saw George Clinton and P-Funk in Vancouver. It was terrible, and I can relate, because I'd seen the same fiasco, years ago.Anyway, this was one quote from the middle of his long, scathing review:There was one positive thing I feel to note: the "doobie check" service at the door. You could actually check your joints and pick them up after the show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 hahahaahaaa... I saw George in Buffalo a few years ago and he went on late so they cut him off and turned off all the lights/sound. For a good 35 mins he stayed on stage yelling "SHIT! GODDAMN! GET OFF YOUR ASS AND JAM"hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edger Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 My p-funk experiences have all been positive! Mind you, that's going back eight years ago or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I can tell you that when P-Funk joined Phish at a Miami '03 show it was cringe-inducing. I couldn't wait for them to get off the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I met them all on the Smoking Grooves tour with the Roots, Cypress Hill, Erykah Badu and the Jungle Bros. showed up. It was a great show but basically just his crackhead buddies in star childs gear. It just continued to get worse that way. I suspected Miami was cringe worthy cause they would have been blasted hard and then it's just a crackhead formerly known as George Clinton.

MarcO Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I call the Phish Miami P-Funk jam "The All Star Tribute to Crack Cocaine".It was a super-duper drag because it was shaping up to be quite the show in the first set. And then SOMETHING (gee, who knows what?) happened over setbreak and Trey thought he was Jim Morrison. And then P-Funk came out and the dream was over. Another one bit the dust.

secondtube Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 i saw the same show edger "i believe" is referring to, and although i believe clinton was absent (which probably made it good), i thought it was a very fun show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau. Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I saw the same one your talking about Secondtube (and perhaps edger), I enjoyed that one also. Although, I only seem to remember Fatties, P-Funk & the laser Floyd light show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamH Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I saw the same one your talking about Secondtube (and perhaps edger), I enjoyed that one also. Although, I only seem to remember Fatties, P-Funk & the laser Floyd light show...I was also at this, I remember the rain and I remember eating a risotto's worth of mushrooms. That was my one and only P-Funk experience sans George and it was truly outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 good....i was hoping it wasn't the 'extra's' that made that night so special....i remember it being really good, and a lot of fuN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau. Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 when did the laser light show thing happen? man, do u remember THE RAIN!!!!! wow. I think after the rain, but I could be wrong. By that point of the night, I was practically walking comatose. I went between there and Rory spinnin' GD until finally laying down on the wet ground beside my van because Scotty took off with my keys... That was the weekend I met tigger, Mr. Pinchy and another guy whose name sadly escapes me, who were all camped beside me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Ah, yes the infamous monsoon. That was one washed out weekend, and yet the party raged on...Yes, that was one of the shows I was talking about (san Clinton). What a night! I remember Jelena dancing on stage with them, only soon to be joined by many others. I also saw p-funk with George at Woodstock 99. Good times, although I do remember the crowd being a little dull. They performed on one of the quieter side stages. I think a good portion of the crowd was really there to see Korn and Limp Bizkit (sp?), and really didn't know what to make out of p-funk.

secondtube Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Crap, i forgot about Jelena jumping on stage....if i remember correctly, i believe quite a few females followed her.....great times....even with the rain...what about the rave raging on, on the other side of the airforce base......crazy times.rave kidz seeing what the stage was all about, and us going (albiet very briefly) over to hear the speakers.....i remember the speakers on that side being taller than me!

The Chameleon Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I have seen about 11 or 12 P-Funk shows including the Phish/P-Funk 2003.Out of all of them I would say about 3 were brutal. The rest were killer.Especially the ones at The Kee to Bala in Bala ontario.Basically the band is killer and George can be too if you catch him at the right time.And yes crack is a huge part of the problem....for George and his crew.....But drugs always have been for them....in the 70s it was PCP.......

SmoothedShredder Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I met most of Parliament in the Wendy's In Mallorytown (the one on the South of the 401). I love that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
