    I saw 'em last night. It was fantastic! Probably
    one of the best shows I've seen. George
    himself didn't even come out until about a 1/2
    hour in, and he came out with Bootsy. The
    place just about exploded. They played for
    three hours straight and would have kept
    going til dawn if the venue would have let
    them. I think that at one point there were about
    30 people singing, dancing and playing on
    stage.

    I got to hear Maggot Brain live. Michael
    Hampton played it while wearing a big alien
    head. It was mindblowing. It made me wish
    very briefly that I had accepted that acid from
    the six foot eight dancing hippie, although the
    circle of evil yuppies may have made it a bad
    trip.

    No one should miss the opportunity to see
    these guys live.

    Just so that I don't feel stupid, you are talking about George Clinton, right? I would love to be at one of those concerts. I love watching funk bands live. It is funny to people watch there. People drinking beer and trying to get into the music and they keep bopping their heads like chickens until you wonder whether they will drink the beer or just spit in it. Spunky and I used to go to a club called "The Cave" in Kansas City and watch a band called "Sky Bop Fly". Thought the name was funny but the music was great!
