Music reviews of George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic - Live at Montreux 2004
Music Review: P-Funk could do better.
Rating: 3 Stars
What's Good: For the first time in a long time, Parliament/Funkadelic (a name used loosely in an era where many original members are few and far in between) offer a true, new live album from start to finish, not just rehashed material from the 70's with 90's material thrown in at the end a la "Live And Kickin'". The band starts off strong with the Parliament classic Bop Gun before moving onto a smokin' rendition of "Gamin' On Ya". Unfortunately, there aren't too many high points past this.
What's Bad: I haven't seen the band lineup myself, so I couldn't tell you who's present at this show, but I'm certain there's quite a few old members/mainstays who aren't on this one (where's Gary Shider? Just 2 horns?). Although the band starts out fairly strong, it doesn't hold up for too long. The groove is a little TOO laid back; "(Not Just) Knee Deep", a classic dancefloor romp, is a painfully slow snoozer here. "Up For The Downstroke" just sounds confused - did they not rehearse this one? Also, George Clinton himself can no longer sing worth a damn. My best guess is that his crack habit has long ruined his voice since the early 80's, and its at an all-time low here. I don't blame age; plenty of older folks can sing without sounding as tortured as this. GC, please lay off the pipe, get in shape and give your fans their money's worth. My biggest problem with P-Funk in their latest incarnation is the fusion of funk and hip-hop. I'm a bit of a purist, I love funk as well as rock/metal, jazz, fusion, prog, etc. To me, its insulting and irrelevant; just think what classics they could have put in the show (Standing on the Verge? One Nation Under a Groove?!) instead of the hip-hop numbers or Belita Woods' spotlight-stealing jazzy time-wasters. Zzzzzzzz.
Regardless, this is P-Funk live in 2004, the sound quality is good, the crowd is great, and any P-Funk is essentially better than none at all. My recommendation is to get this in conjunction with the hands-down best live funk mob output, recorded in 1983 - "P-Funk All-Stars Live At The Beverly Theatre in Hollywood".

Description of George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic - Live at Montreux 2004
George Clinton and Parliament / Funkadelic bring the party to the Montreux Jazz Festival in this 2004 appearance. This performance is an audio assault on the senses, as Clinton and company fuse together R&B, Funk, and Soul music. An overcrowded stage of singers, dancers and musicians give a high-energy performance, proving that George Clinton & Parliament / Funkadelic are as viable today as they were 30 years ago. George Clinton & Parliament / Funkadelic have received a number of honors over their career. They are 1997 Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Inductees. They have earned a Lifetime Achievement Award from the NAACP's Image Awards. And in 2002, Spin Magazine ranked them #6 on their 50 Greatest Bands of All Time list.Pop CDs
