Format:DVD
I gave this DVD 4 stars only because of the quality of footage - the content itself deserves 5.

Good points:
Filmed in the mid-late 70's, at the height of the P-Funk empire, this is a spectacular and incredibly funky show. The music is fantastic, the costumes are outrageous, the band is enourmous, with up to 40 people onstage at one point. This really sums up everything the P-Funk movement was, or is, about.

Bad points:
On the downside, you don't see the whole show, only highlights, but a P-Funk show could last for hours, and cutting it down might have been the best way to put it into DVD format.
There is no footage of the two support acts, Sly And The Family Stone or Bootsy's Rubber Band, although they do make an appearance towards the end. The camerawork concentrates on the singers - we see very little of the bands, other than on solos. It seems the cameraman thought musicians were to be heard and not seen.

Overall:
Despite the drawbacks, this is still well worth the money and more. It's absolutely essential for any Parliament-Funkadelic fan - or in fact, for anybody remotely interested in Funk. The highlight for me was the landing of The Mothership - spectacular, ridiculous, and very funky.
All in all, this is a classic.

Format:DVD
although i completely agree with the previous reviewer - it is not filmed particularly well, you dont see enough of the musicians and it is sometimes annoyingly edited - i had to give it five stars, because nothing could really hinder the enjoyment of this dvd. george clinton is god like in this concert. the set list that amazon gave is wrong. it goes like this - cosmic slop, do that stuff, gammin on ya, standing on the verge of getting it on, undisco kidd, children of production, mothership connection, swing down sweet chariot, dr funkenstein, comin round the mountain, p funk, give up the funk, night of the thumpasarous peoples and funkin for fun. if you are a p funk fan you really must get this

From the initial psychadelically spazzed out intro featuring a ripping Eddie Hazel guitar solo to the closing departure of the mothership this is slick and never fails to get me wishing I had been at this gig! George is at his regal best, funky, soulful, stoned - this cat was the daddy that spawned a million imitators. This should be part of the school curriculum!. You really don't know what is going to happen next - 'Standing on the verge of getting it on' pretty much sums it up.....one of the best tracks I have seen performed live. In a nutshell, brilliantly gifted musicians, tight brass section and some of the funkiest, bizzare, funny drug influenced lyrics you will ever hear! I can't get enough of the this funk and I think I am going insane - take me in your spaceship funkenstein and funk me all night long.
