Smoke a doob and listen to "Hydraulic Pump" instead.

He often tours with longstanding members of the band, like Michael Hampton aka Kid Funkadelic, Blackbird McKnight, and the guy-who-wears-the- diaper-whose-name-I-can-never-remember, but then there are some ridiculous moments with guests like his granddaughter rapping about her nether parts and the tour manager rapping about booty, etc. I don't know if he pays for his entourage to travel overseas--It would be a very different show without the 15-20 band members (no exagerration).
The worst time I ever saw them they played at the Minnesota Zoo. They started late and Clinton didn't show up until about an hour and a half into the set. THat's fine when they do their typical 3 hour set, but the zoo doesn't allow people to play past 10:30 p.m., so it was quite an abbreviated appearance--I think he was on for about a half hour.

He was great in W. DC near the Washington Monument for free a little while ago. Discussed here:

This is true too, but I overlook it. I also saw and enjoyed Original P a few years ago (that's some former P-Funk members).

They did a free show at Lincoln Center that was a lot of fun - it was actually part of a show Nona Hendryx created so she joined him at the end and it was wild to see jazz great David Murray (who recently did another terrific run at the Village Vanguard) also there enjoying the show. Not sure who else as it was packed. Michael Hampton still with them and he sounded amazing. Show was actually shorter than usual - 85 minutes instead of the 120-150 they’ve been doing on this tour - possibly because of the threat of thunderstorms. It actually rained not long after they finished so well timed!

To clarify, Murray was watching the show, not in it.

Looks like the guy who was standing next to me at last year's John Cale show in Brooklyn was also at Lincoln Center last night and recorded that show too. From the last half hour:

You're welcome! FWIW, here's another one from that account - posting it because it starts with "Biological Speculation." It looks like it's been in the setlist for a while, but the way Clinton delivers it, you get the sense that he's consciously thinking of the last few days (with the potential impact of the debate, and the lasting consequences of the Supreme Court decision).
