The opening acts were good. Bar kays, Dazz Band, mary jane girls were great.
When George Clinton came out, the sound system must have failed somewhere. The sounds suck, and there was no structure to what they were playing. They start playing Flash Light, go into Knee Deep, another song, then back to Knee Deep. I was confused.

I was disappointed in George Clinton. I really thought he would put on a better show. His back up singers looked a hot mess. There where people all over the stage and backstage that the audience could see. At one point this lady in a black leather coat and hat came out on stage and hugged him in the middle of the show. I guess the hug couldn't wait. His back up singers kept leaving the stage and not coming back right on key. This show seemed like a first time show of someone that had never, never been on stage before and had no idea of how to put on a performance. I really felt that they didn't care about our city to put on a great performance. This is the worst one I've seen.

Very loud & some what confusing. Could recognize beginning or part of song then it went wild. Awaiting songs with sir nose in them, but, guess ran out time, but it was only 11:00. Only my thoughts. But, overall I could everyone gave their best. My applause for their efforts despite the crowds feedback.

When you get George Clinton and the Parliament my favorite group, along with the Ohio Players, War, Dazz Band, Barkays ... OMG.... I couldn't wait to purchase my tickets the minute that I found out that they were performing. What a great venu... I had an absolute Blast... That's was my first time seeing Lady B... Relocating to New Jersey from Florida this was my first outside music event in Philly and I enjoyed every minute of it... I'm and 80's baby and I never knew the names of most of my loved songs and I was just floored.. LOVED IT!!! I think I danced the entire night.

All groups were good, but George Clinton and Paraliment was a little too loud. I also didn't like that they didn't wear their infamous costumes.

The sound for the Parliament set was horrible. The band, using the term loosely, was loud and amateurish.In fact, much of audience started leaving shortly into the set. George Clinton was MIA. i really enjoyed WAR but was disappointed with the collective concept of Dazz Band, Barkays and the Ohio Players. It was not advertised as such. Why were the Barkays singing an old O'Jays song (Let me make love to you) Lol. A funk monster jam? Get the funk out out of my face!

Dazz Band & Mary Jane Girls were good. MJG did a couple of Rick James songs as a tribute & were joined on stage by his daughter. I wasn't expecting a lot from One Way but they were fantastic & I think they were my favorites. I forgot how many great songs they had. They got the crowd going wild. They & the Ohio Players had all the best things about 70s groups: great vocals, great musicians, and lots of horns. Ohio Players were also fantastic & the crowd went wild during Love Rollercoaster & Fire. Morris Day & the Time are great entertainers. Their music & vocals were great. The sold out crowd was on their feet the entire time. It was one monster funk party.

Dazz Band should have stayed home even though I love them. MJ Girls - well the past is the past. AL HUDSON & ONE WAY threw down! I wish they had sang one slow jam at least though. Sugarfoot was so awesome that you could see the previous acts peeking from behind the curtains because they knew they were witnessing a historical event - funk excellence was portrayed to the MAX by the Ohio Players. Morris is still Morris but without Jerome, the Time has now lost too many original members.
