Not quite at the level of the video of the original post, but it led me to this which is pretty cool:

If It was possible to time travel I'd go and watch live pfunk every night

Once saw them back in late 80s early 90s at the start of a tour in Port Chester, NY. At one point band started playing the chords of "Maggot Brain" and Michael Hampton had this look on his face like "who is going to play the solo?" and the rest of the band looked at him with the look on their faces of "you're going to play it." He most have forgotten it that night because he walk off stage and came back on in a minute or two before he burned it up.

It's very good, natch, but I will always bow to those old Monks clip as the reason YouTube was invented.

Ha, was watching those Monks clips last weekend.

i think the thing at the top was one of the first things i ever saw on youtube. via ilx. whenever youtube started. ah, youtube memories...

scott seward, Saturday, 2 February 2013 22:57 (twelve years ago)

I think it was pre-youtube. At one point I swear I had this as a real media clip.

EZ Snappin, Saturday, 2 February 2013 23:01 (twelve years ago)

Me too. In fact, I initially thought YouTube was some incredible P-Funk archival depository.

oh i'm sure people had dusty vhs copies of it for years but youtube is where i first saw it.

scott seward, Saturday, 2 February 2013 23:03 (twelve years ago)

wish there was more live footage or even audio of early 70s funkadelic gigs

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Monday, 4 February 2013 08:27 (twelve years ago)

yeah this definitely was on some thread years ago (I thought there was a thread about the Rat Kissed the Cat that maybe had this on it? or one of the old rolling youtube threads?)
