Funkmob 420



Review 03/08/97
From: Dr.Brookenstein

Let me start off by saying that I didn't bother to stay at Tramps (in     
Manhattan, NYC) to see Cameo.  I was really there to check out the group  
"4:20 Funk Mob".                                                          

This group contains of several P-Funk members with a couple of new guys:  
"Billy Bass" Nelson, Michael "Clip" Payne, Lige Curry, Gabe "Undisco Kidd"
Gonzalez, Michael "Kidd Funkadelic" Hampton, Ronald P. Edwards (Stozo the 
Clown) and Greg Fitz.                                                     

The band was tight and the grooves were P-funky!!!                        


The song list:                                                            

Funk Gets Stronger (Part 1)                                               
Freedom (originally by Jimi Hendrix)                                      
Take Your Dead Ass Home (Say Som'n Nasty)                                 
Miss Lucifer's Love                                                       
Naked                                                                     
Funkadelic Groupie                                                        
Still Tight                                                               
Trash A-Go-Go                                                             
Balance                                                                   


The set was a hour long, from 8:35am to 9:35am.  The highlights of the    
song were "Balance", "Trash-A-Go-Go" and "Funkadelic Groupie".  The lead  
vocals for every song on the above list was "Clip" Payne, with the        
exception of "Funkadelic Groupie", which was sung by O.G. funkster        
himself, Billy Bass. By the way, you should check Billy Bass's album "Out 
of the Dark" by the group O.G. FUNK!!!  It's very funky!  "Take Your Dead 
Ass Home" had every motherfucker in the cafe shaking their ass!!  Almost  
none of the early Funkadelic songs can touch "Take Your Dead Ass Home"!!! 
"Miss Lucifer's Love" was a very welcomed tune, with a nasty, slow        
sleaze-funk feel to it! Mike Hampton is one bad motherfucker on the       
guitar.  And I swore that Greg Fitz could have given Bernie Worrell a run 
for his money.....well almost!                                            

I was surprised that the Funk Mob was doing songs like "Trash A-Go-Go",   
"Miss Lucifer's Love" and "Balance"......considering that these were not  
really popular songs.                                                     

The amusing thing about this concert is the way "Clip" sings......not     
really professional but interesting.  Truthfully, I have never heard      
anyone scream so much like Clip did during the song "Balance"!!! (I guess 
you can say that the music was very orgasmic to him!! --- sorry, I had to 
get that one in ) If only Bootsy was there to sing "Balance"......hmmmmm!!
This song is probably the worst track (my least favorite) on the album    
AMERICA EATS ITS YOUNG (by Funkadelic), but it sounded better live at the 
Tramps Cafe.                                                              

A fuckin' maggoteer and P.Funk clone for life!!  That's the only clone to 
be! Clone every ass in the world with P.Funk and we'll have a better      
world! ONE NATION UNDER A GROOVE!!  ONE WORLD UNDER A GROOVE!
