Parliament Funkadelic in 1969 (vid)

[Copper Scroll]

Here is the original Parliaments line-up (backed up by Funkadelic) in 1969 (http://youtube.com/watch?v=er1qwOTTRuY).

Check George's haircut (and I guess that he never could sing worth a damn).

Too weird for the Temptations crowd and too mellow for the Sly Stone crowd...

edit: Here they are ten years later (http://youtube.com/watch?v=p3xFV6-Ybjo)--a completely different line-up of course.

Bootsy's Rubber Band in '76. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=gKMR2Ho9smw)

That bassline is crazy!

It's Casper here
like a whisper in your ear
I'm calling short distance, baby
from me to you
with a friendly boo...

Here's another. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=H0ewSjj6jY4)

"Funkentelechy" (http://youtube.com/watch?v=X1G6mvT0UNI)

'cause it's cheaper to funk
than it is to pay attention

This is truly their peak!

(Wait for George's grand entrance at about 3:30)
