This was bootsy live in Japan a treat for all bootsyfans out there plus if you miss Bernie Worrell's wizardy you get him along with Mudbone and Frank waddy and a guitarist that took serious notes from Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Hazel. Not only do you get classic Rubber Band material but ya get Parliament-Funkadelic classics like Flashlight, p-funk, and one nation. This is a must have a pfunk party if there was ever one.

A couple of reviewers had some negative responses on the sound quality of the live music on this CD. I think these negative responses are overly exaggerated. I've heard worse live recordings and this isn't one of them and what did you expect anyways, the music was recorded live, this isn't a studio recorded CD! What I like about this CD is that Bootsy and his Rubber band incorporated a hard rock edge to their nasty funk sound with the wailing and screeching guitar sounds. Love to always hear Comic Slop live and love the tribute they paid to Eddie Hazel who was very underrated if you ask me. This CD smokes from beginning to end. Don't let the negative reviews fool you! They don't know what the funk they are talking about! Keep the Funk Alive! A true hardcore funkateer would love this CD!

Love it! Classic Funk! Classic Bootsy!

Will be buying all that I had on LP's...

I don't know what took me so long to dig this set. I have long been under the impression that the best P-Funk days were in the 1970s. But my dear Funkateers, let me say: this is the best live P-Funk performance on wax and CD.

I have the P-Funk Mothership Connection DVD (1976) concert, I've had the Live in Beverly Hills recording, and I've heard the P-Funk Earth Tour which are all stellar. But to me, this is the most cohesive concert with dynamic performances with Bootsy songs and Parliament classics. The power but nuances placed in the performances is funk at its finest.

Please check this out for yourself and tell me if I'm wrong! I will be proved right over time... So let it be written, so let it be done!

This has to be the worst CD of all time. The recording is tinny and distant, the band cannot be heard for the crowd noise, and what can be heard of the band is atrocious and very amaturish. The quality of the horn section is foretold in the liner notes (the "on three days rehearsal horn section"). The band sounds like they have only been playing thier instruments for 3 days max! I have heard better bootleg recordings. Don't buy this one!!!!!!! You have been warned!!!!!
