Amoeba Music

The Mothership Has Landed! 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. Taped on October 31, 1976, these are seldom-seen performances at the Houston Summit.
