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 -

long live the funkThat'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!

haha yup and sooo true

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
