Brilliant...That's Fuzzy Haskins on Drums...Didn't know Don Letts made a P-funk doc...I also remember Lloyd Bradley was meant to bring out a book...

"Why d'you think they call it dope, dope?" Love it.

It's a shame there isn't more decent-sounding live early 70s P-Funk.

That Live at the Meadowbrook dealie they put out in the mid-90s was such a massive letdown.

really? man, i love that meadowbrook disc (and I know about it being the drummer's first show etc). the "goodies" on there is still mindblowing.

I like it a lot but I agree it's a weird one. You can see why they put it out because it's the best-sounding/most well-recorded bootleg from the era... and unfortunately it's Tyrone Lampkins' first night and dude is uptight as fuck.

Lambkin's lack of empathy, for me, overwhelmed anything else that might have been happening (though to be fair, I haven't listened to it in years; I should probably revisit it).

Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Tuesday, 30 April 2013 23:12 (twelve years ago)

it has its moments. tyler is right about Goodies

it is kind of weird how there is like zero live footage until 1976. after all this time, still nothing has surfaced.

saw this on vh1 back in the 90s. rhcp appear at the end for cosmic slop

it's not really that good but it is mighty strange. Gary on the riser for 10 minutes at the beginning etc

Cor the mothership was looking a bit spartan in the 80's...

nice, glad george was a lasers fan, i was so into them when i was a kid.

idk how rare this really is but it's the only boot I've seen where they do some of these One Nation Under a Groove cuts. Set seems p unusual for several other reasons too:
