That whole band was high as a Giraffe's Ass and still sound better than 95% of artists today!
FISHSCALE 😎
Where'd you get that statistic
You ain't lying
🤣🤣 facts
4shizzle my nizzle
That’ was somebody great grandmomma now running up to the stage acting fast lmao 🤣
True, but she was looking fly as hell!
A whole family tree because of that woman.
She looked so goood tho
@@kissiesosie6331 you are correct there young lady.
It was only 1976, so Grandma. We’re not that old😂
Everybody on stage is higher than the price of gas today 😂😂. BUT EPIC AF!!!!!
They performed Their Jam, that is what counts!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂Dam u right.🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂
They higher than my electric bill in the summer 🌞
😂😂😂🎉
High as giraffe 🦒 cooch 😂😂😂
A lot of us mid 70's to early/mid 80's babies were probably conceived to this. 😂😂
They were high as hell
Billy Grady you know it😂
EXACTLY🤣💯
Ain't that the damn truth! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Right...with his "not because I'm on drugs.." lolol right..
💯!!!😂
His backstage after parties musta been... something.
u kno
Check out tales from the tour bus.
Lol I'm sure it was a lot of cocaine involved
DEADASS
"full of jokes"
A lot of people don't know that Bootsy originally played bass for James Brown... he was so young. 🙂Straight genius!!! The background singers are killing it!!!
Sound good to me
He and his brother
@AphroditeRising -- Bootsy was my Bloom Jr. High classmate in Cincinnati, OH. Also with his brother Catfish, Kash, and Philippé Wynne, the SPINNERS Philippé Wynne, neighborhood guys, formed a band The Pacemakers in 1968. In 1970 Bootsy started playing w/JB @ 17-18 ! HE was silly--serious THEN, and a GOOD guy !!!
Girl you late we been knew that
@@MrNikoncameraman That’s pretty cool.
I'm so grateful this moment was captured for future generations to experience.
Yes indeed 👏👏🙏🏻🙏🏻
💯
I’m 30 and my father and I listen to this every chance we get. Thank god they got dis on film
HOPEFULLY they'll see it!!! Frfr 😉
I’m 19 and absolutely adore it, my parents don’t get it 😂😂
"Im not on drugs....... Im full of jokes"
LOL we get you Bootsy
Right as he disappeared to go do some drugs 😂
1:08 I hear ya Bootsy talk to em nah 😂💯
What he mean?
@@civodarp5742 he means he is high AF
Marajna Shrooms too
Psychedelics and Such
I can tell that Andre 3000 from Outkast was heavily influenced by him
Ashley Harris partially, theres others though, darlin'
Like Mandré "M3000" album check it out
him and Ike Turner
More like Too $hort Andre has more of a Crutis Mayfield sound
him, ike turner, jimi hendrix, curtis mayfield
You can see the jimi hendrix influence on bootsy. He's Hendrix with a space bass. I was drunk on this ish as a teenager. Still sounds good to my damn near sixty year old ears.
Much respect OG
My old ear still love Bootsy
Wow, I noticed that too. Even the way he speaks, they both are the definition of cool.
I'm thinking Sly
And Rick James got his influence from bootsy
Snoop Dogg somewhere smoking a blunt on his couch,snapping his fingers to this groove and video.
lol “Baby boy”
I will never forget that concert. I was there. My mother would have tore me up if she knew where I really was. FUNKATEER FOR LIFE!
Wow that's awesome!
Good for you
I ❤ that vibe Funkateer 4 Life gonna use that word as Reminence to the '70s era!! The GREATEST time in my LIFE! We lived with Peace,ohhhh so much ❤❤❤ was on the Scene & nickel bag of 🌿🌱 Earth Smoke went a long way rolling about 10 Joints Yes I mean 10 out of 5 back in the day!! 😛😍😝 nothing but good 'ole time!!! T*Ma here in the 🌄🍊 Sunshine State of Florida!! Peace ❤ Happiness as we stay out the way of Covid-19. But GOD OUR MASTER & JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOR IN HIS PRECIOUS 🔴 AMEN ❤❤❤ BE SAFE Utube Friend 2 U and Yours
Wha year was thi doe
I was probably conceived the night of this concert 😂 makes me sick and proud at the same time because I love this song
The high pitch back up singer is straight on fuvking point!!!
Mudbone Cooper's falsetto singing was top notch.
PREACH 🙌
Dude is an alien
Stupid falsetto.
And those smashing space bass lines
"It's a cold... cold... world baby!" But the Immortal Bootsy Collins & His Rubber Band still keeps us warm even in 2023 & beyond! Bootsy's Rubber Band Forever!
Somebody’s mama and auntie still got that rose in 2024, in this life or the next
Bone & Peanut really deserve more credit for this song.
Omni they really do, I’m happy to see then legendary singers behind this song
I love it! Bone and Peanut keeping it on point and loving the space bass🎶🎸✌❤
I TOTALLY AGREE. THEY MADE THE SONG. I LOVE BOOTSY BUT HE SHOULD HAVE LET THEM SING THIS SONG AND JUST PLAYED BEHIND THEM. BONES AND PEANUT KILLED IT!!
They really do..bone vocals are off the chain. They damn sure dont sing like this anymore
I promise they really do 💯💯😎😎
And to think he was only 25 here..just 25!! Absolutely astounding
Wow!!! Only 25 genius
Wow
Whoa!!
He has a very young sexy energy here. I can see the 25 glow on him
They matured faster back then
I feel like talent like this still exists, however, culture prevents it from manifesting in such a soulful way. This is greatly missed.
It will come back around, I have faith.
🎯
How absolutely correct you are!!
instead we get trap music.
Well said well said and it will come back someday because it has no choice/sampling is practically over and drum machine is about over
Back when people still cared about love
Still bumping this during COVID-19 pandemic...
You beat me to it...COVID-19 or not I'm still bumpin.
lol
Covid ain't got nuttin to do with the Bootsy!
They don't know lol
Yes Yes!
The extra-long intro was SUCH a vibe.
Onggg
@@jaynellioriginal5160 kinda seems like a excuse to hit in every chick in the building more than a planned part of the song,but it created buildup in a way that works.
@@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms which musical artist didn’t do this? Just because this may have been overtly conveyed doesn’t make it obscene. GTFO here with that back handed compliment.
@@JK-yk1og A lot didn't.
@@JK-yk1og Especially not 70s shit,like Rush obviously weren't trying to get laid for instance.
the way he literarily and psychically makes love with both guitar and the woman in the lyrics is amazing (he technically acts out foreplay by how he plays the guitar as the song intensifies and then peaks and it all ties in to the lyrical story and theme) which is f***ing genius
This is when there was real music with real musicians
i feel like i should be paying to watch this
A1Getdismoney *Bootsy got a Go Fund Me*
A1Getdismoney Talent!
A1Getdismoney for real though! It's got a serious contact vibe lol
Best RUclips comment of the month. This is too good to be free. But I'm thankful. Lol
send checks to me thank you
Bootsy is so under appreciated today , it’s bootsy baby .
He isn't underated
Yeaww baby yeaww 😂💯🐐👑🎸🔥😎
@@christinagraham2915 I feel like with musicians like "Thundercat", Bootsy is as relevant as ever.
Yeahhhhh beeeebayyyy
Bootzilla Baby
The backup singers tho!👏👏👏
I love the line in the record, “Imma put my love in your eye so you can see me coming.” It’s hilarious now, but when I was a kid, I had no idea what he was REALLY talking about!
Bootsy and Larry Graham are the blueprints for bass playing.
The iconic Maseo!
James Brown gave birth to a lot of amazing artists and bands!
Back when men courted and wooed women, not call them out of their names and make music about unapologetic misogyny.
Well put.
Back when it was acceptable to hit your wife
@@Kosmopoli that is SOOOO not what that meant and it was NOT acceptable to hit your wife with this song came out. You have no idea about what was happening in the 70s. I do because I was alive.
This isn’t really respectful to woman.
I mean it’s awesome.
But let’s not pretend this is some elegant allegory about romance.
"I'm a come all in your face"! Lol DAMN the 70s was nasty! Lol
The background singers give me LIFE
Yeah they was elite bootsy could've just let them kill the whole song while he played the guitar
Bone is the baddest.....
I don't know. On that, they were pretty much foreground singers.
Yes!
I love the way he says "baby."
Denise Bernard Ha!! Me too😂
Me three ! And I don't have a Vajayjay ..lol
@@TheCiaMKultra
now you do. jus kidin! 😜
giiiiiiiiirl if you ain't pregnant by the end of this song you done something wrong lol #ThatBabyHittin
@@naturallaw1733 Maybe I did and I just didn't realize it untill saw the video to this song. I always had the feeling since hearing the song. But putting the two together .... It's like
If Wiz Khalifa doesn't play him in a movie. I'm done with movies!!
Man! Them signers were killing it!! That harmony was on point and Boosty doing his thang!!
Them background singers 🔥🔥 and bootsy is a freak 😂
😉
Yessssssss 🤗
Ohhhh baBbbbyyyy. Yea... He owned his BLACKNESS, his raw sensuality, talent, machismo and charisma to match. HOT damnnnn
YESSUH!!! I love it all.
@@Sakazhua im here for babiii.
"I'm not on drugs..but I'm full of jokes.." Umm...ok Bootsy was loaded as hell but that's my dude right there. Funk lives on!!
fr he straight told on himself he was so geeked
+Chris Gilrath CG tell me something good about God then Joker?Boom black 2016 funk is Good for the soul TBT
meaning on acid
like I dont shovel snow I cut grass
mean I don't like coke I smoke weed
Lol
Lol
He is f-ing that guitar UPPPPPP!
One of the most sampled songs of all time … Legendary
Bootsy's voice is so iconic. No one else sounds like him.
Dru down
A true play on words back in the day when folks was clueless!!!
Hendrix did
Except Jimi Hendrix ...
Imagine that space bass and guitar???
I always thought that was a woman hittin those high notes. That was a Dude? Excellent.
That was the high pitch of Kevin Hart 😂
It’s a woman with a baldy
LMAO
I lobewhen he told the men to lower down cuz he wants to hear his snaps 😂
same here thought it was Mauric White from Earth Wind and Fire alone who mastered that soul falsetto
48 years ago. That feels like a crazy amount of time ago. Still gettin it on it 2024!
As a White Marine and musician married to a black woman who is also a musician/singer. This hits hard. I can’t believe this is still underground This should be blasting loud all over the radio.
It was in San Andreas 🎶
Ooh Rahh!!!
Thank you for your service. 👊🏾
💯
OHIO FUNK CAPITAL
"we gon nut we gon come at the same time" lmfao
Lmao word he said it like it was nothing back then shit we say now lol

This damn retarded era
I feel bad for them!
Real music!!
Probably some yung knuckle heads lookin' for some mumble rap. 😕
Sometimes you just gotta let it breathe. I love live shows like this when the artist is so comfortable and just vibes out. Long live Bootsy
He’s not dead lol
@@cowboymadeit65 sure ain’t lol
but he's recovering from surgery he's been sick for a while so he's not going to be performing
some COLD bass
Righttt hearing live versions of certain songs just make em hit different fasho! 💯🎶🗣🎸🔥🥰
Now can't wait till my girl gets home!!!!!! She definitely bout to get that passion 💯💯💯❤🔥🔥🎶🎶
Who’s listening in 2021🤩This is what we called MUSIC 🔥🔥🔥
I know this was before my time but I appreciate this sound and wish music was more like this today
Still coming back, October 2021, and most likely will be back again, Funkateer fo' life #F4L#
@@yvetteholly5992 They got the funk. funk yeah
I AM. AND STILL LOVE IT
Me just love the guitar
This is where Prince and Rick James got their bass playing skills from this man here. Bootsy is the best by far.
And Bootsy was influenced by Larry Graham and Hendrix too.
@@panama8009 graham was a savage. thundercat is worth checking out if you havent...might be the last time you hear something this funky in this lifetime
@@panama8009 Absolutely. Bootsy acknowledges Larry Graham, and his style of original "slap bass" playing as his first, and major influence. Check it Out! Ciao!!! Bootsy looks a lot like Sly Stone, style wise. He was obviously a fan of "Sly & the Family Stone" Bootsy had to be a BAD boy to be a part of James Brown's band the "JB's. Listen to James' hit "Doin' It To Death". Check it Out! Ciao!!!
@@panama8009 - And don't forget Sugarfoot of The Ohio Players
Funkiest man alive ! I want to catch the next train to Funkville, Utopia
14 yrs old and seeing Bootsy live, sitting in the front row with tears rolling down my face. I was so happy! Good times for real!
The bass God...you know you’re a God when you can hear the bass line and it connects to soo many artist that spans 50 years from James Brown to Parliament to DeeLite to Childish Gambino. Bass God Bootsy Collins.
Underrated comment 💯❗️
I agree 1 trillion percent...but don't sleep on Larry Graham
Bootsy doesn't "connect" all those artists, he IS the bassist for all those artists. Literally. Bassist for James Brown, Parliament, DeeLite, and sampled by Childish Gambino.
Facts 🤙🏾
Have mercyyyyy!🎸❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
THIS SONG WILL NEVER GET OLD!!!!!!
Never
you bet!! :o)
Innovator lady1 lady1 Never ever!! 💯🌹♥️
Facts
Show you right
This is truly the best live concert I've seen. Bootsy sung well and those background singers...wow! They harmonized beautifully, but Bone was amazing! This song takes me back to when my mom used to be drinking her Budweiser, jamming this, and making me and my brother Soul Food.
I miss my mom so much. Passed in 2015. RIP, mom.
The ending was something else
🙏🏿🙏🏿
Here's to the mothers that were cool, beautiful, and had great taste in music back in the 70s.
❤️
Rest on momma. Thank you 😊
Bootsy, Maceo, P-Nut, Bone. What a band!
Won’t be no artists like this again man. Thank my pops for putting me on funk.
When he said the flowers from Africa and got a curse on em he ain playing lol
I would get you flowers from Africa
@@dominicfaison5889 I don’t want those then lol
@@dominicfaison5889 mission failed
Erin Kilpatrick lol

I can't listen to this without making a face like I'm in pain
2023 I’m still listening Bootsie I love you thanks sweetie for your beautiful music well done God Bless you All!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🎊🎊💐🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉
The whole band was awesome 🎉🎉🎉 but bone and peanut put it down!!! Well done and of course Bootsy you never disappoint!! God Bless You All!! I love you all🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
ah the era of true funk, Bootsy gets on stage, no rush, get your head right, nice joint and a lil shrooms, 3 hrs later, Bootsy still playn, everyone happy, no fighting, all part of that rainbow, good times and nuthin but peace
Yeah baby. Smooth
Wow that sums it up perfectly
@King Swift Lol word

Peruvian marching powder?
40 years later & this sh#t still sounds good!!!
yes , p-funk all the way
SMOKE WEED.
You so right!!
@@lobowolf9406 stop talking pass the J..lol
Bootsy has a style of his own. He's iconic!!!🤪🤪🥰🥰🔥🔥🔥
Fuckin’ Bootsy is a legend. I hope he lives forever.
I'm alive in the wrong era. True musicians that write they're own music with funky sexiness.
I just figured it out! He is like a cross between Jimmy Hendrix and Sly Stone! Masterpiece.!
@ZuluTime Productions true but real talk those were his influences rho
Exactly 💯
Sho u right
@ZuluTime Productions Why are you fucking crying about it?
Yeah he has some Jimi swagger in his speech patterns.
I was on LSD at this performance and it was a total mindblower. Funkiest trip I Evan had…..
I'm Latino but I love this funkadelic bootsy...
I'm black and I'm proud my roots descend from Africa .. love peace ☮️ 💗 respect ✊🏽
What does this comment even mean? Bootsy is American, specifically Black American. Just enjoy this beautiful art created by Black Americans!
Shoot ❤️ Ever heard of War? We make the best music, especially when we’re together 🖤🤎
Indeed. I’m proud also. Shalom.
@@jaynellioriginal5160 what do you mean ???
Like war.
@@el-coyote8496 They’re an old school music band. The band is a blend of Latinos Latinx & Afro Americans etc. I mean when we blend together we make beautiful music
Back in the day we saw real musicians and heard real music
If Bootsy wants to play a bass solo, you let him and then you thank him....
You cannot duplicate the Oooze of this type of pure....FUNK...I just wish folks would stop rapping over art...it's like Graffiti on a clean white building that ain't yours.....
Just lovely nastiness. Mental explosion of juiciness.
Bootsy Collins dropped one of the coldest slow jams ever,classic performance,respect
Everyone on this set was fried lol!!!
2024 Bootsy Rubber Band for the Presidency and Cabinet....
It's the second day of 2023 and I am out here enjoying and LOVING this.❤❤❤❤
Day 17 in 23 and I'm with you!!! Lol
22!
Day 27...With You in 2023❤️
I am there it is March start of Spring Break at school and I am loving this jam 2023
How can there not be a hit of acid called “Bootsy”
a sheet with bootsy or the mothership connection would be wild
If you lick his star madallon on the screen within the first 30 microseconds of the footage reaching the point where he takes off his jacket . Then a micro dot will transfer digitally through cyberspace through the power of digital telekinesis.
Well , that's is what I was told at least . I dont know if it works but I don't recommend trying it untill your screen is fully sanitized or possible to contract another kind of micro organism or pathogen . Peace ! Be safe and sound ! Take a trip by staying home on the couch
@@5PercentTint
keep it on the downlow! The same person who told me also mentioned that there is a limited amount of supplies of Bootsy's digital micro dots
Noted
We all thought Bootsie was the coolest dude back to in the day. He still is.
Damn right!!!
Bootsy was feeling good that night 😎
I went to the Museum of Modern Art in NY last week and they had an exhibit showing art in pop culture from social media to live concerts etc. They played this live concert and I could not leave until this performance was finished. To have heard this in person, I cannot fathom. Pure musical vibes and lustful, optimistic energy!
EXCUSE ME DID HE MAKE THAT BASS GUITAR SOUND LIKE AN ELECTRIC GUITAR? I had no idea this man could play that good
Starr Company Watch the video of Stanley Clarke’s Night School on RUclips and early videos of Sly and the Family Stone with Larry Graham on bass. He revolutionized the bass with his style. Now everyone copies him.
He's a legendary player and is in several jazz rock fusion bands with the likes of Buckethead, Steve Vai, Alex Skolnick as well as James Brown and the Funk Bros. Most people only know him for Parliament/ Funkadelic but he has many other projects under his belt.
@Ric Hicks So you saying James was like Prince when it came to work ethics huh?
@@starrcompany3275 No he's saying Prince was like JAMES
@Ric Hicks and I believe it was 1970 when Bootsy became one of the JB's. So it was close to the same time as when the great Larry Graham was slapping that bass up for the Family Stone. Graham got him by about two years.
A rare moment when I'm sincerely sad because the song is over...
Hit replay...
Never gets old classic funk
They took us THERE! 🎸💃🏾
Whose listening while covid-19 🤔😠🤣🤣🤣
Me sitting on my porch looking at the rain fall a cool Carolina evening,🙏🏿😷

More people need to listen to this … start loving again ….
This song hits so hard. Childhood icons for me. Wish he would tour again.
I’ve never heard a bass sound that damn good in my entire life!!!!!!!!!!
Funk on Brotha man ! Funk on
He has a few pedalboards. A wha or cry baby, a chores and probably a flanger., and a fuzz box. Can’t do funk without a crybaby.
@@horacestacey3549 Year I was born . My parents listen to John Denver ....lol I think I have a better taste in music . Yearly P- Funk Bernie Worell R.I.P.
@@horacestacey3549 Totally off subject on last comment . Sorry about that! You are right , he had allot of tricks in his bag ! He mastered the sound of funk!
Yessss
My two year old son loves Bootsy. He loves Nile Rogers too, he's an incredibly funky child.
Digby in the Doghouse - as my grandma says “ that baby been here before” lol. Keep him in the music baby.
Had the chance to meet Nile when I was a kid but I didn’t know who he really was at the time lol
Oh yeah. .....lol.
a funky child😂
I just caught a pop up performance with Niles last year with Ekoostik Hookah. Also saw him at the gas station prior to the performance and thought to myself at the time thus guy looks familiar only to be reaffirmed as he set up his bass on stage with the band for a one off song. pretty slick
This not even my time i was born in 2004, but man oh man I gotta say I love everything about this right here 🥰😭
WOW. I am just discovering this in my 40s . Thank You Tube Algorithm
A definite EARGASM !
Bootsy has this vibe that nobody carries in our time
Larry june
@@wezzel2345 yes
So damn coop
I do
He was born in 1951, when the United States had soul.
Loving this, Bootsy is like Hendrix on base.
i need this on spotify
The speech, though. A whole lot of kisses, and a whole lot of touches!
Sandra Jones 😂😂😂😂
When i get freaky with a lady ima be like are ya ready for whole lotta kisses and whole lotta touches Lmao🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣💯💯💯💯
Bootsys bass tone is the epitome of STANK! GOD DAMN! I'll never get tired of that tone!
That walkout from bone and p nut was iconic they went straight to it
This is the best version I’ve ever seen and I love to see everyone’s personality… how real men acted 🫶🏾
