                            The bassist is Bootsy Collins. You MIGHT know him from his days with Parliament (George Clinton) or his days with Deee-Lite (1991's "Groove Is In The Heart"). But, foremost, he played bass on James Brown's "Get Up I Feel Like Being A Se Machine" in 1970. I love the live versions of "Ain't It Funky Now."

                              Here's one that EVERYONE knows and loves: Parliament -- Give Up The Funk (1976)

                              (an awesome live version)
                              But here's something ya' might not know -- but is an essential amongst funk fans: The Gap Band - Oops Upside Your Head (1980)

                                I immediately thought of this band when I saw this thread, for four white guys from Vermont, these guys can play smoking hot funk. I saw a bunch of Phish shows in college, mesmerized let me tell you caught plenty of that 1998 tour. funk starts about 1 min in

                                long live the funk

                                its like trying to catch the sun on the water..

                                    That's what they call DEEP funk! As George Clinton would say om stage before an extended instrumental set in his concerts: "Ain't nothin' fun unless you play with it -- so, excuse us while we play with it." This Phish jam strikes me in a similar way. Great post!

                                          Thanks for the tracks all. Red Hot Chillies sometimes had a funky flavour to them. I always loved the bass that comes in slightly after 30 secs

                                            love these guys! They're George Clinton's unofficial god-children, by the way!
