The Mothership is a ritual at all
Parliament-Funkadelic concerts.

happened. From one of the corners
of the Coliseum ceiling a small
model spacecraft slowly floated
down to the giant denim hat over
the stage. From the giant hat
came a larger version of the model
bellowing out sparks and smoke
from its jet nozzles. Finally the
'Mothership' touched down onto
the stage.
THE BAND MEMBERS pulled
a ramp up to the door of the craft so
its passenger, Dr. Funkenstein,
could come down to the stage. The
group went into another chorus of
"Flashlight," in order to get 'Sir
Nose D'Voidoffunk', to dance.
Upon completion of his mission
Dr. Funkenstein returned to the
mothership and took off. After the
ship left, the members of
Parliament-Funkadelic left the
stage, leaving the crowd wanting
more. After a few minutes of foot
stomping and shouting one
member of the group, the bass
singer, calmly walked up the
microphone and chanted in his
deep voice, "Tear the Roof Off the

opening to one of Parliament's old
hots "Give Up the Funk."
PARLIAMENT-FUNKADELIC
is a group that does not depend oh
meaningful lyrics or smooth
sophisticated melodies. They rely
instead on music that has a dancing
beat and light lyrics. There
is little social commentary to be
found to the songs and the show the
group puts on. Instead the viewer
is taken away to a comic book
world with heroes, villains and
colorful costumes. In the age of
elaborate, stage shows such as
Kiss, Queen and others, the
Parliament-Funkadelic show was
more than an eyeful.
With Parliament-Funkadelic
were two other groups, Cameo, and
the Bar-Kays. Cameo led off the
evening to a half-filled house, but

spirit or performance. The nine
man band played an impressive set
performing their rhythm and blues
hits "Post Mortem," and "Funk,
Funk," songs off the band's album
"Cardiac Arrest.'*
THE BAR-KAYS FOLLOWED

The group played tunes from their
new album, "Flyin' High on Your
Love." The crowd responded well
to the band's fast-paced tunes like
"Let's Have Some Fun," and "Get
Funky."
The high point of the Bar-Kays
stint was a long and very unbelievable
drum solo which left the
concert audience impressed.
