The Mothership landed in central Brooklyn last night – George Clinton & Parliament/Funkadelic played free at Wingate Field courtesy of the amazing Martin Luther King Jr. concert series hosted by Friend of Shore Fire Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz. Controlled anarchy – 20 people on the stage, 10,000 people on the field, me dancing with a goofy smile on my face in the 3rd row. It funked and rocked so hard! A great tribute to P-Funk’s late music director Garry Shider. Funk In Peace, Starchild. And yes, I brought my flashlight. Ohio Players opened – a great choice, especially when they closed with [Shore]“Fire.”
Here’s a P-Funk clip from 1978:
