It was Halloween night and Parliament Funkadelic was about to tear the roof off the
Houston Summit, ready to bless the crowd with their cosmic brew of interplanetary
funk. George Clinton, Bernie Worrell, Bootsy Collins and the rest of the P-Funk
collective were riding the success of their first Top 5 R&B hit, "Give Up The Funk (Tear
The Roof Off The Sucker)," a track that had earned them the kind of radio play that
would bring the masses out to see them live in a stadium-sized arena. The group was
only five dates into the tour when they arrived in Houston, but they were definitely
ready to take it to the stage for an out-of-this-world show like no other.
Taped on October 31, 1976, these seldom-seen performances at the Houston Summit
represent Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic in their ʼ70s prime, in the era of their
Mothership Connection and The Clones Of Dr. Funkenstein LPs—a rare opportunity
for everyone to get their proper dose of The P-Funk.

@Kadandendie -- I meant Ray Davis SINGING bass on the intro of the song... Yes, Bootsy plays the bass. But Ray sang bass in Parlament/Funkadelics. It's cool!

I was blessed to see these guys quite a few times in many of their various famous lineups, funkadelic, parliament, p-funk, bootsy's bands (met him once in seattle). Alas, my dream of an international funk festival never materialized and now there are so few jedi's left

I love how George talks shit to the people who are only there cause this song is popular- "You can get up off your ass now... It's that time now!"

@mmjaljs I can always hear Goins no matter how far in the background he is. Hell of a voice, there are a lot of people who should take a page from his book.
