Thursday Oct 29 2015… The Godfather of Funk George Clinton came to the New Parrish in Oakland and turned the whole place into the Mothership. It was an epic night.. A full 3 hour performance where they ripped through all the hits and made folks sweat like there was no tomorrow..The highlight was when they did Maggot Brain.. Here are some of the photos I took that night.. Enjoy
George Clinton the Godfather of Funk
His performance at New Parrish was off the hook
We should never take the iconic figures of our beloved musical genres for granted..
George Clinton’s crew handled biz..
They may not be the original P-Funk band he put together, but they are damn good.
They were the funk the whole funk and nothing but the funk…so help me God..
Some say George isn’t as energetic as he used to be.. I say the crowds George has been performing in front of don’t know how to get hyphy like they do in Oakland..
This harmonica player held it down.. The crowd was pleased
Will Iam from the Black Eyed Peas came thru and took in the funk
