Parliament - Live: P.Funk Earth Tour '1977 [2014]

Tracks list

The only officially released in-concert Parliament-Funkadelic album, Live:
P-Funk Earth Tour captures George Clinton and company at their peak in 1977,
compiling recordings of a couple shows (January 19 at the Los Angeles Forum and
January 21 at the Oakland Coliseum). The double-LP/single-CD album cant do
justice to the groups extravagant theatrics, most memorably the landing of the
mothership, but its a wonderful showcase for their musical ability and their
catalog of great songs, most of which come from the 1976 albums Mothership
Connection and The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein. No performance was ever the same
for these guys, and thats a major aspect of this albums entertainment value, for
its interesting to compare these live performances to their studio counterparts.
Of particular note are the 15-minute extended performance of Dr. Funkenstein and
the three-minute montage Landing (Of the Holy Mothership). Though unessential,
Live: P-Funk Earth Tour is worth investigating for anyone curious about the
Parliament-Funkadelic live experience and is a welcome alternative to the many
bootlegs and latter-day P-Funk All Stars live recordings that have circulated
over the years.
