After an early start in doo-wop fronting the Parliaments, George Clinton helmed Funkadelic and Parliament, related hard funk projects at the border of the form's acceptability, employing crazed concepts, outrageous costumes, and drug-addled references to outer space. During the '80s and '90s, Clinton kept the fires burning with his P-Funk Allstars, a cosmic sloppy affair whose live shows continued to push the boundaries, as heard on this riotous live set delivered in Chicago, with extended jams on favorites such as "Mothership Connection (Star Child)," "Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker)," and "Make My Funk The P-Funk," as well as the bluesy lament of "Pepe The Pill Popper." Dynamite! Licensed by Prestige. Splatter vinyl.

Abandoning doo-wop for hard funk through Funkadelic and related act Parliament, George Clinton became the cosmic funk warrior extolling sex, drugs, and funk n' roll, using bubbling bass, rock-star guitars, full horn sections, and powerful choruses to venture into funk's deep space. The P-Funk Power cherry-pics some fine live concert moments from Clinton and his P-Funk All Stars, the highlights including a riveting rendition of "Let's Take It To The Stage," and super-extended takes of crowd-pleasers "Cosmic Slop" and "Atomic Dog," culminating in the excessive funk space trip of "Funkentelechy (Where'd You Get That Funk From)," the man and his band on peak form from start to finish. All killer, no filler! Licensed by Prestige. Splatter vinyl.
