If you like this, you better check out other funk songs. 70s pop music in general really. Disco, R&B and Funk were basicly the same thing then. If you like one of them you like the other
When I was about your age and started taking bass seriously, this was one of the videos that changed my life. Go look up Larry Graham, Scoop by Marcus Miller, John Entwistle's Isolated track of "Won't Get Fooled again" and "Amazing Grace" by Victor Wooten. These videos will change your whole perspective on the instrument
SachaHolland You know what's good music. And angel lorenzano too. That's already 2 persons. And in the 70s, I guess most of the people were listening to crap too anyway. If you have good taste, you will always be the minority, your whole life! But you won't be alone and it will work as an idiot repellent. Live and let die! Happy to have read your comment.
In 1976 I was 13 years old, road my bike 10 miles to nearest record store to grab Bootsy's 1st album which I still have today. He was the coolest cat who road his motorcycle on stage before performing. Every black teenage boy walked around playing "air bass" while reciting Bootsy's cool assed lyrics to our girlfriends. I still get the same chills today hearing these songs (oh, minus the herb clouds lol). I feel sorry for anyone not born to witness real musicians who made it funky!!!!!!
I remember my Granddaddy used to play all these songs when I was little on his turntable and 8-track player. Parliament, Funkadelic, Bootsy's Rubber Band, Kleeer, Al Green, Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, and a lot more artist.
I think thts cuz he be in his own dimension while singing his soul..similiar to the artist H.E.R., theres something magical abt listening to music w/shades on😂
I heard this for the first time hanging out waiting for marching band practice in high school (1976). One of my fellow drummers (my man Dale, RIP brother) was cranking Bootsy on a mono speaker 8-track portable. We all put our sticks down and gathered around him. We were amazed at the funky, coolness of this song. We didn't know that Bootsy could hit so damn hard without P-Funk who we WORSHIPPED! The majorettes joined us...I got some after pratice that day...this song changed my life folks.
A work of art and a legend, and Yes, Bootsy is still around. If you don't know his stuff, find out about it. Easily One of the greatest Electric Bassist ever.
Perfect vocals like the ones Bone and Peanut bring to this song is why I became a singer. When I got the 12 inch LP, I played it until the grooves were gone. Bootsy=mad genius!!
Me and a good friend rode around listening to this and swear this is something special, it just does something to you. after it went off we just looked at each other and shook our heads at the pure artistry seeping from this.
Truly in connection with the funk and the crowd. Give me the funk so i can do the same. They gave the funk. He gave lots of it back. Just an awesome concert, no fights, no idiot tryna be cool. Just you, bootsy and the funk. Fantastic. I wish i'd be there
Beautiful tenor voice he made this song what it is with Bootsy killing that guitar in fact he went solo and did well. My favorite song by Bootsy Collins
cooler than cool. at least when he talks about sex he follows it up with a righteous bass solo, all musicians do now days is follow it up with a poorly worded rap verse and xanax
GARY MUDBONE COOPER, & ROBERT P-NUT JOHNSON THE BEST P-FUNK DUO WHEN IT CAME TO THE SLOW JAMS CAN SOMEONE UPLOAD VANISH IN OUR SLEEP FROM THIS SAME SHOW THEY KILLED THAT ONE ALSO!!!!!!!!!!!!
wish i was born in the funk era, this is classic and makes feel good no matter how many times i play it back....real music with real feeling to it and ground breaking solos.
Mudbone and P-nut always did their thang!!! Those two nigga's can SING!!! It was always a pleasure to see Bootsy's Rubber Band back in the day at the Capital Center!!!
Those 44 people dont know good music!! how could anyone dislike this!!! is there any hope for my generation?? im only 23 and i grew up in a family that bumped Bootsy throughout our household!!! Love it and thanks for uploading this!!
I remember this performance! I was there! Standing in the crowd with thousands of brothers! That was the shit!! Wait... Ok who am I kidding!? I'm white and I wasn't even born... But I've dreamt that I was there so many times, I'm sure it counts! Fuck yeah! I was there! Maybe in a previous life, but I was there.
Saw him at the Oakland Colliseum 1978! made my date jealous, cuz all the girls were screamin' BOOTSY! Hell, he still gets me goin'! One of the sexiest songs ever.
Man i wish i wasnt born in 1977, just so i could experience REAL MUSIC when it was happening all i have is the greatest hits and the older ppl that was there but im thankful
i listen to this everyday. i have fell in love with Bootsy Collins music. It's the way He playing that guitar. He very talented. i want to be your #1. ❤
No Ur not the only one! I conceived my son to this song when Bootsy say "We gon' nutt @the same time..." My hubby thought he was doing all that...but it was this song that did it. lol
I am a stone funk fan, but I will give him hop artists a lot of credit for recognizing the genius in the old 60's and 70's Music that was wasting inside milk crates, closet and old stereos collecting dust. Hop help make black old artists and Music relevant and one about Music a hit always going to be as hit.
