Bootsy takes it to the stage!!!
Said it was too short. I friend of mine got this cd but remained unmoved. Bootsy gets you all hot and bothered and then disapears. I disagree. His first set opening for the now-legendary Parliament Mothership Connection Tour was only about an hour long anyways, and its not about how long the set was but more about what he did with the time he had. And he scorches the groove from the opening of Psychotic Bumpskool thru the closer Stretchin Out. Horns up in the mix pretty good. The Rubber Band just may be the funkiest live act of all time.

Not good
In addition to not being able to hear all that well the music is surprisingly bad. What the info fails to mention is that this is an import, and the sound quality is abysmal. You would expect an all-star lineup of Bootsy, Fred Wesley, and Maceo to crank out some good funk, but this sounds like sub-par imitation Parliament. I would not even take this CD for free.

One of the greatest live funk albums ever !
Cut in 1976 in Oklahoma, the set finds Bootsy in stellar shape as he forcefully delivers hits from his first album, including an impassioned reprise of his "I'd Rather Be With You. Simply one of the greatest live funk albums ever captured on tape. " Another tidbit is that this is from Bootsy's own Bootzilla Records, hopefully there's more to come.

Classic Bootsy live baby.
So bootsy fans and p-funkateers should definetly buy this. Man this performance of Bootsy is off thge hook word is this was the rubber band's first concert ever. A soon to be collectors item Bootsy baby this is first class funk where Boot brings the space bass to ya face.
