Parliament-Funkadelic Live 1976-1993 (4CD)

@WizardofFinance The Live, Meadowbrook, Rochester, Michigan, 12th September 1971 show is a priceless documentation of early Funkadelic IMHO. Sadly, it appears to be the only show recorded from that era, but it sounds gorgeous for something recorded live in the early 70’s.

The two Tramps, NY shows from 1994 and 1995 that were once sold (and are now available for streaming only) on WolfgangsVault are the best documentation of what a full P-funk marathon could be in the mid-90’s, clocking at over 3 hours and nearly 5 hours respectively. I was lucky enough to attend similar shows in France those 2 years and those recordings are the closest thing I could find to reliving the experience. I was quick enough to purchase them before they were withdrawn from sale, if anyone needs them. Unfortunately WolfgangsVault are highly incompetent so there are microcuts between tracks, that I haven’t gotten around cleaning-up on Audacity.

There are other shows, including another one at Tramps that, strangely enough, wasn’t offered for purchase back then.
