It was an awesome show w/a beautiful venue to showcase all the p-funk that is George Clinton & his crew. Yes, he is missing his trademark rainbow dreads & he doesn't have much of a voice left, but the mothership band he captains holds him up. They shook the foundations of yoshi's w/the power of the funk. They tore the roof off the mother*ucker!Written on Jul 11 2011

This was my 3rd time seeing The Grand Master of Funk. The first 2 were in big arenas. He brought the party to Yoshi's! The sound was great, but the stage was TO TO small for the whole band.Written on Jul 11 2011
There were some low moments: George Jr. did a down and dirty rap that had the crowd walking out. It was disgusting and rude, I had to walk away. Worse than him though was the Masters grandson! The dude had NO flow.
A lot of people took bathroom breaks at that point,and I saw a lot of poeple sitting at the bar out side. The momntum was almost lost ,but they managed to bring it back for the final couple of tunes.
I'm glad I went

George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic 9:30 set on 7/10 was stupendous from note ONE. The guitar "army" he had on stage with all the singers, dANCERS, (at some points totaling 20 people) was over-the-top entertaining and compelling. The sing alongs on Freak of the Week, Knee Deep and other hits had Yoshi's bouncin'. George orchestrated beautifully and mixed the set up nice with guests doing a rap, another singing a sweet blues tune, George himself taking the lead vocals in a fierce and confrontational manner (that was appropraite for the material and subject matter he covered), and the GUITAR work thruout was stellar. It was a wonderful birthday party for Mr. Clinton & his P-Funk ARMY!!Written on Jul 11 2011

Quotes & Highlights
Description
Think of George Clinton and you'll likely conjure an image of a crazy black man with rainbow dreads and garb befitting a galactic shaman literally barking at phat bottomed girls with a sub-atomic "WOOF!" This lovable nutcase is the legendary and internationally renowned grandfather of funk and the founder of the Parliament-Funkadelic MOB, taking the sonic innovations of James Brown and Sly Stone to both outer space AND Neptune while selling millions of records and concert tickets in the process. Quiet as its kept, however, George Clinton's initial approach to the ladies was crooning (when he wasn't cutting hair) as the leader of a standup vocal group he formed in `55 called The Parliaments, emulating the doo wop and love songs that were popular when he was in diapers (well...he STILL wears those on occasion).
What is there left for the North Cackalackee-born grandfather of funk to do after five decades of rockin' steady on the one? He can dip back to an era of sweet street corner soul that was his initial inspiration, take some folks back into time while blowing their minds.
Almost 70 years young, George Clinton has several other projects in the hopper, including a salute to Motown and a solo album by longtime P-Funk All-Star siren Belita Woods. The master is also mindful that most of the folks whose songs he's singing on Radio Friendly are no longer here, but he has no intention of joining them in Soul Heaven anytime soon. "I ain't going nowhere," he declares. "I feel like I'm starting over right now...for real!"
