Music reviews of P-Funk Earth Tour
Music Review: Great performance, but you don't get the entire experience..
Rating: 4 Stars
I am a great fan of Parliament/Funkadelic, and I am an avid fan of their concerts. What makes their shows so notorious is the experience of accually being there. No matter how good a live recording is, you can't put the excitment of being at a P-Funk show on a CD. You must be there chanting along, pumping your fists, and getting your loose booty on.But aside from the lack of the true live experience, this is a great live recording. It was recorded when the band was at its prime (even though one of their most famous CD's, Funkentelecy Vs. The Placebo Syndrome had not been released yet). Everyone is playing at their best, and with a lot of enthusiasm (except for the the first song, "P-Funk Wants To Get Funked Up", where I find the lead rap a little lacking on enthusiasm).
Just about all of the material on this album comes from either Mothership Connection or The Clones Of Dr. Funkenstein. If you like these albums, you are in luck, and obviously if you don't like either one of these albums, you probably won't like this live version of them. There are a couple of Funkadelic songs from Let's Take It To The Stage and Kidd Funkadelic thrown in for variety. All in all, I like the song selections. They make for a very dancable album (which is why you listen to funk isn't it?). There are some songs on this album that aren't from the live show. There is a great studio song called "This Is The Way We Funk With You". This is a great song, and it is a wonder why it didn't appear on any studio albums. Then there is the very odd "Landing Of The Holy Mothership". This is a collection of talking from the live show mixed in with clips of studio songs. It's hard to describe, but entertaining none the less. One dissappointment is that "Fantasy Is Reality" is left off. This was a well received studio song that was included on the original LP release. If you search hard enough, you can find this song on other Parliament live collections.
The sound quality is excellent. The crowd is obviously interested in the show, but the crowd noise doesn't drown out the music.
This is a great album. It lacks some variety in the song selections, and you don't get the full live experience, but I still highly recommend this CD.
