George Clinton’s lost the rainbow dreads, dyed his beard and dug out his sharp suits from Parliament’s 60’s heyday, but the Parliament/Funkadelic experience is still as anarchic, self-indulgent and utterly unique as ever. There’s no set list as such, just an endless medley conducted by whim by Clinton and that results in an extremely uneven, if colourful performance. But when they crack out the impassioned majesty of “Maggot Brain”, perhaps the greatest moment of solo guitar in musical history, it’s possible to forgive them pretty much anything.
