George Clinton &
the P-Funk Allstars



Review 04/26/97
From: Case

I caught the first 2 1/2 hours of the P-Funk Lite tour at Univ. of        
Maryland Baltimore  County on Saturday.  They were one of 6 or 7 bands    
that played something called Quadmania.  This was a FREE outdoors show on 
the campus.  Your tax dollars and somebodies tuition at work.             

The Crowd (mostly college age) was amped.  Body piercing seemed to be the 
order of the day for many in the crowd. Lots of folks getting their drink 
and smoke on. Lots of bodies being passed around above of the crowd.      
(Basically, a bunch Maryland suburbanites pretending that they were on a  
farm in upstate New York in the sixties.)                                 

I quickly realized that many of these people were not born by the time    
that I saw my first Parliament-Funkadelic show in 1974?                   

P-Funk came out in Funkadelic mode at about 7:30 with One Nation and then 
Red Hot Mama. The initial band was led by Mike  Kidd Funkadelic Hampton   
and Blackbyrd. Hampton sang most of Red Hot. ( I don't really remember him
singing lead before.)  Gary Shider and George showed up after about a half
an hour and lead the the crowd though the various traditional chants over 
top of the funk groove. Lots of rap with Louie, George  and George's grand
daughter (Daddy's Little Angel).  No horns.                               

Hampton provided another great version of Maggot Brain.  Lige and         
Blackbyrd were Strong!                                                    

I have no idea how long they played.  I had to book early , but I         
definitely got my moneys worth while I was there.  Rumors of the demise of
the P have been greatly exagerated!
