At a dinner party this last weekend, we discussed top concerts through history that we wish we could have attended. Berthy suggested early seventies Parliament/Funkadelic, and I had to agree that P-Funk would be a top choice, especially during the Mother Ship Connection/Dr. Funkenstein era. Check out this clip from 1978 and imagine attending.




Today's track is from Funkadelic, the funk rock side of George Clinton's musical empire. The track is from the band's 1971 album Maggot Brain, and has a rock/gospel tinged groove that brings to mind music from The Staple Singers and the Band. I Dig the interplay throughout between all the voices, especially, the baritone lead in the third verse.

Can You Get it There-Funkadelic
