Maggot Brain- D.C. 1979

- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2024
- Michael Hampton plays a version of "Maggot Brain" that is strikingly reminiscent of the original Eddie Hazel classic on his sweet Gibson Flying-V. Check out George Clinton in his Butterfly costume as the curtains close on the first half of the show.
don't worry about who's copying who...just lay back in your chair and let this take you to another place....somewhere in your mind where you aren't comparing things...just let it flow - maggot brain is a state of mind...
This stuff was so ahead of it's time.....it now still sounds otherworldly.........these geniuses cannot be copied!
Rock bott om
It was and is great but ahead of it's time it wasn't. Hendrix was doing it a decade earlier.
The 1979 show was the greatest performance of all-time. I was there!
I seen Eddie play it at Cobo....it was a religious experience......beyond words.
I saw them play this song in the Oakland Coliseum in 1973. I was 14 years old... awesome!
Sucks when you remember seeing him twice and not really fully understanding how AWESOME and INNOVATIVE what your hearing really is. How special and rare yet made everyone around me stop and not make a noise while they played this song. It freaked me out but I was 12, not allowed in these places. However wherever I had cousins we were gonna sneak in regardless. If it were not for our young perverted minds we would have just stayed home and watched "the gong show". Thank God for youtube for it allows me to remember how stupid we were for taking such a risk seeking in NOT for the music but for the fine women (fans) who wore no bra and often no drawers.....
Well said! I grew up in Cleveland and a local station played Maggot Brain midnight EVERY Saturday.
I remember back in 1991, when I was 20 (and so was the song) and I was hanging out with friends, getting wasted.
And now, I am almost 40 (so ist the song ;-)) and I gotta admit...:
Damn, the 70s rocked!!!
This guy was only 19 .I graduated in 79 we call this music to get your sh-t together by.
Stellar live version. Michael is laying it down, doing true justice to the original studio version. Cheers!
are you kidding me Michael Kidd Funkadelic played the hell out of Maggot Brain not to take nothing from Eddie but try listening to the Funkadelics other music and pay close attention to the guitar playing on songs such as knee deep and ask yourself can Michael hampton play with the best of any guitarist out there he is one of the all time best guitarist along with Eddie Hazel R.I.P.
Mike Hampton playing on Cosmic Slop can not be beat. Eddie is my all time favourite but Mike is amazing in his own right 💜
They’re both great, but Eddie was more of a writer than Hampton. You can’t even compared their body of work. Most of Hampton’s work thats noticeable are solos. He comes from a more metal/hard rock angle and definitely as far as tone too. Eddie was groove, soul, funk and rock with lots of feeling. Michael Hampton’s biggest career hurdle has been that he’s been in Eddie’s shadow from day one as a kidd. Would’ve been interesting to see what he would’ve done with a project he was the main force behind, but lots of the P-Funk crew were used beautifully by George, but didn’t have enough on their own to do the same level of work. Lots of talent and work went into those songs. Definitely not just George, but he was the mastermind that made it all work. He took these crazy parts and made history. I feel for the Kidd though. He’s amazing and deserves to be appreciated for his own work. That said, he definitely admired Eddie and kept his legacy alive. If he weren’t playing Maggot Brain after Eddie left then that song wouldnt have had the legacy it does. There’s a Funk video podcast called Truth in Rhythm that interviews funk players. Lige Curry (bassist for P-Funk All-Stars, etc. and Michael’s cousin) talks about Hampton leaving (basically running away) his parents as a teenager and joining the group. The fact that he lived and made that music is incredible. He’s still doing it, though he left George for good it seems
Truthfully so
writing it is the hardest part....HAZEL
@@thomasminarchickjr.7355 Mike is back with gc
One year from my last review and still haven’t found a guitar solo that can touch MAGGOT BRAIN.
Maybe its the light. Maybe he's just thinner than I'd ever seen him, back in the day. Its just really uncanny that Mike took on such a look, as well as a sound! For sure, WE DO LOVE US SOME EDDIE HAZLE, so its not hard to understand how Mike got sooo soooo into pocket with Eddie's Spirit/Soul and projected him so thoroughly. As we say, when we are showing praise and appreciation for the presence of our ancestors when they show through for us, "Ashe!"
eddie created THE SONG BUT MIKE IS THE KIDD WHICH MEANS EDDIE IS THE FATHER. MIKECRRIED THE TORCH THAT EDDIE LIT. MUCH LOVE TO BOTH.
what a beautiful and wonderfully talented young man...Michael Hampton💜
Was at this show...I saw Mike Hampton with that flying v..and from then on I had to get one...I got it years later... Fantastic Show!!!
Eddie Hazel we miss you SOUL BROTHER play your guitar with the angles now.
I agree with Catlin 11. I listen to this and other versions, some of which I saw. Funkadelic wasn't about any one performer, it was about the show, the sounds and the attitude.
This is so awesome i can listen to this allllllllllll day on da realz, 10 stars
I give Mike and Eddie props both are great guitarist
I never get tired of this tune... I love it so much.
music will never ever be the same again.....
IT AIN'T THE SAME NOW!
Bernie was on fire 2...Young kid funkadelic simply rips it!!!brings tears 2 my eyes everytime i hear it being played so amazingly well like this.heavenly
prince wanted to do this song live too bad he never went out there and did it I would have love to see how prince would have did this tune
this was and still the funky on funky on funk l am 60 years old this coming January 19 the and it will be play at my party believe that.
All instruments no 🎚️🖥️
Flying V sounds timeless & brilliant .
How many keyboards is Bernie playing?! He's like the Beethoven and Mozart of funk! I love this song. You feel all kinds of emotions with this..love, lust, anger, pain, sorrow..it just gives me chills.
By far, the best version.... AWESOME play.
I can feel his emotions...... very powerful play.
I don't know why, but every time I'm listening to this song, I'm thinking of my late mother... God rest her soul.
The best version?? It's not even Hazel, are you kidding me!? Clean out your ears and listen to the original version again.
Chill out a bit..... put your head under a cold tap 1st. You'll feel better. PEACE man....
Yeah, typing out a couple of lines of text must make me a real angry individual. Try to come up with a relevant reply next time, buddy. Peace!
If NOT angry definitely RUDE.
I don't expect you or anyone to have the same taste/preferences with me. Accept that people are different.
Can you imagine how boring the world would have been if everyone had the same taste?
Yes Hazel's play is great, but this particular one, has a bigger impact to me. Does that make me wrong? NO, just makes me Different from you. But based on your Medical Diagnosis, I need to clean out my ears!!!!
Indeed, that world would be boring, and my comment was merely reflecting my opinion. Rude? Perhaps, but not out of context in my opinion. You stated that this version is the best, meaning better than all versions, including Hazels, the guy who came up with this masterpiece to begin with. I consider that to be a rude statement. If you can't stand to have you opinion criticized, then why would you express it in the first place?
Piękne wykonanie. Uwielbiam ten utwór.
Eddie created this in studio it is HIS INSPIRATION, Michael woodshedded to this deconstructed it _ he knows it blind. inpiration / aspiration
sloburnjo That's how Michael Hampton got invited to join Parliament Funkadelic. George was in a club in Cleveland watching this 15 year old kid playing Maggot Brain, note for note!! Hence the name Kid Funkadelic!!
OFF THE HOOK!! I LOVE IT BROTHERS!!!!
"Play like your momma just died" and that is want Eddie did. I weep when I hear this!
MAGGOT BRAIN, EVERYTIME I HEAR IT ,IT SENDS CHILLS THRUOGH ME !! I DONT CARE IF MIKE OR EDDIE IS PLAYING IT ,ITS AN ALL TIME GUITAR SOLO CLASSIC!!!! "SERGIO"
It's hard to hear and appreciate a cover of something that is burned deep into you brain and soul. I can't think of Eddie;s version and still appreciate this. Mike didn't copy. MIke took the song down a somewhat enw road. It's good. I'll leave it at that. I'm really glad this song is being forgotten.
4:12 to 4:40 is a beast man it sound so good
I love It, Eddie you really rock!!!
Love the butterfly at the end...
please yall dont forget george found this guy playin maggot brain note for note when he was 17 mind you .... this is the song that got him recruted into the funk mob ....ok bye
I like that he is not afraid to make a mistake. THAT is the sign of truly playing from the gut.
rip brother Bernie , big loss. play on...
He was 16 when George (actually Gary Shider and Boogie) saw him play Maggot Brain at a party in cleveland given by Ed Sparks. He was about 17 going on 18 when he joined Funkadelic in 1975. I think his first performance with them was in DC in 1975. Knee Deep was recorded in 78/79 time frame.
This one is Michael Hampton...tearing it up!
two words runnin through my brain: music history
masterpiece!
Play it Mike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@jabon323 Gotta give credit where credit is due, Eddie Hazel introduced us to the maggots of the mind, but Michael Hampton embraced them and made them his own. I have heard no better version of this song and it so demonstrates Kidd Funkadelic's talent.
Friggen best flying v i've ever heard!
Just watched live up loads part 1. of Rodney "skeet" Curtis!! Man I tell you the love folks
This is what it sounds like when Angels cry
I can't imagine being high and seeing this live.
Soul Music Black History Black Excellence!!!!!!!!!!
@grimes1 Just a reminder, but Eddie wrote this song when he was 17 yrs old. Eddie's version was fluid because he was able to tap into some inner demons that gave him such an emotional range that he was able to translate through his guitar. If I'm not mistaken Mike was 17 when he was hired by George to replace Eddie.
They said, musically it couldn't be done, but here it is indelibly etched in time forever. Maggot Brain is a master piece. George Clinton gave The late great Eddie Hazel free rain on this track, he simply said play and this is the end result. This musical composition is a timeless masterpiece.
He told him to play as if you lost your mother and towards the end play like you found out she was alive
This is a good place for your son to start. It is full of pentatonics and some relative majors. A simple chord progression over a 6/8 dirge. At fifteen, I cut my teeth on this one.
I am now completely funked up.
This is straight fire!
Magic show and amazing guitar solo fucking grazy 🙏🤘✌👍🙏🤘✌👍
I was at the gig at Hammersmith Odeon on the same tour, I remember the guys wearing monks habits on the darkened stage !
master piece ...
I was going to post, then noticed that Frank Warner said the same exact thing I was thinking. It's a great song, Mike is a good player, but it seems he made a living because of one man, Eddie Hazel, the creator.
MH on fire here, great work.
Thank you.
man, that is some guitar playing
in response to krystan bray,i agree with your post. it looks like eddie at 6:03 during the flash you can see he facile structure and it looks like eddie! hes also thinner than michael and in houston "78"he wore a chain and was shirtless.able to see he body frame again eddie was thin. just trying to figure.only way to really know is if you were there( wish i was) but was my favorite song since early "72". yes i was a hippy and loved everyday of it R.I.P. EDDIE! ( bluesyj22 )
The funny thing is, that in knowing Mike Hampton personally, this video looks nothing like him. If it IS Mike, he really got so into pocket, he actually took on Eddie's appearance! It actually "Looks" Like Eddie Hazle, as well as being a "Strikingly reminiscent of his classic performances of Magot Brain, for which he will always be fondly remembered.
Dude what are you on about. This is Mike. You're going on about Funkadelic but you cant grip the fact that this is Mike..? Come on now. MIKE KILLED THIS SHOW SOME RESPECT
@@PannduhHD reread the post. Notice that I said, If it IS Mike he got so into pocket he even looked like Eddie. That IS a respectful compliment for both Mike and Eddie,. After all, Eddie obviously was the inspiring progenitive energy that inspired Mike's playing. Like I said, I do know Mike, and it looks like Eddie, Mike or not. That's my perspective and I am entitled to have it, as you are yours. The difference is, I shall recline from any "belittling" remarks on your account as I shall live respectfully with you and your perspective... I would appreciate the same.
hypnotizing. a beautiful killer song
very hot blues. excellent playing.
My man Dennis chambers on the Drums.
Damn!!!!!!!! Dude is a helluva of guitarist, pretty sick
@blood901 Eddie Hazel. Original composer of Maggot Brain.
Check the original out on youtube.
Goodness, Gracious Greatness. 🎼🤘🏽♻️🌿🌄🎶🎵🎵🎵 DID I BLAST THIS... Hell yeAHH 🔈🔉🔊🏅🏅🏅🎼 in yo ear. 🌿 SUMMER 2023. What💥 Nj-usa
this is like mana from heaven.....totally mind blowing music
Great sound from Mike
He cant touch Eddie hazel much to weak Eddie is the man he made it played it AND IT ENDS WITH HIM FOR SURE NO ONE ELSE CAN TOUCH IT THE WAY HE Played IT
Magic show peace love and happynes 👍✌🙏😭👍✌🙏😭
Flyig v awesome!!
One earthly planet emotionally intelligent.
My son is 4 months old now. I feel sorry for him and I'm mad 'bout myself that I forgot about this song. Starting from tomorrow, this will be part of his education
I'll be wondering how he will turn out. I hope it will make him sensitive to the world's pain & inspire him to do something about it ‐ everyday. 🎉
Exactly RobFalcon! Hit the nail on the head.
When this song was created, George Clinton asked the young Eddie Hazel to play the first part of the song as if someone had just told him his mother had died. He then exhorted him to play the latter part as if someone had walked up and told him it was all a lie, and that his mother was NOT dead, but alive...the young guitarist came through supernaturally if you ask me.
George said he was higher than what we saw in these concerts he said he thought he was really flying
funkadelic made the best rock music ever
Yeahhhh!!! That's proper speak!!! You're my man!!!
good job
AWESOME SONG!
he loved to play guitar. He made that instrument an extention of himself, and he spoke when he played...What will you say, and how will you say it when you play your guitar?
ahhhhhhh nothing like old school!
This is real love of music
He sounds really good!
Timeless.
This was at the old Capital Centre. MD just outside of DC.
I was there still got my ticket🤘🏿
I now I know where Prince gets guitar concepts other than Jim H. actually all guitarist/rock bands are just replicas of Parliment/Funckadelic
I now know where
In the early 2000s Prince was doing small venues and made a stop at a night club. He asked if the DJ had any funk music, the DJ replied no, Prince took away all of his records and told him how can you play me and not have any funk music. The DJ promised to add funk music to his collection. 😂
Great piece, Hampton probably 22 or 23 y/o on this in "79".
PERFECTION! :)
AND THIS IS A COOL EDDIE!
This tune is fuckin enormous!!
Rising above the shit... This is quite possibly the best song ever.
RESPECT MAESTRO HAZEL! RESPECT!
did y'all dig the crazy keyboard arrangements put down by Bernie Worrell? I didn't know he was trained at Julliard and The New England Conservatory.
for sure! :)
WOW!!!!!!!!
only Clinton could pull of that "look" with the wings!
