We went to see the legendary George Clinton on Saturday, but it’s taken me this long to recover and post about it.

What a gig! After the first song, there were so many people on stage I thought it was the encore. After about the third song, they’d been going over an hour, and I suddenly realised that the drummer had changed. Hypnotic stuff. To quote the band, “Two thousand zero zero party over, oops out of time. Tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 1979”.

My only criticism is that they kind of lost their way after about the third hour! Quite a few of the band seemed to have left by then, and it degenerated into the worst kind of 12-bar, rock & roll medley jam thing.

Still, I was so glad that I went, and I’ve still got one of the tracks going round and round…
