Live Performance Review: George Clinton & P-Funk,  The O2 ABC, Glasgow, Friday 18.04.2014, 19:00

For those who are not aware George Clinton is the man responsible for two of the biggest funk bands of all time, Parliament & Funkadelic. P-Funk is the live bringing together of musicians from both of these bands. George functioned as a conductor and vocal contributor amongst the melee of musicians singers and funky dudes who appeared on the stage. The musicianship was of a high standard with a very enjoyable groove. 

For my mate and myself, we were both taken aback at how much stuff we recognised, though then were reminding ourselves afterwards that Funkadelic and Parliament produced music that has gone on to be some of the most sampled of all time.

There was a good size crown gettin' down to the groove and all appeared to be having a blast. If I was having to be mean some jams went on too long, some jams were a bit to similar to other jams and some jams were slightly overindulgent. Having said this, it was still a hugely enjoyable gig and the musicians certainly did a good shift with Mr. Clinton being on for approx 2 & 1/4 Hours. I am certainly very happy to have been at the gig and it perked to mood for a good few days.
