The George in the photo has had way more impact than the one in the article IMO

Parliament & Funkadelic have made some of the most important contributions to modern music

I saw him live about ten years ago.

As per usual, he was about two hours late getting started. Once things got going I counted no fewer than sixty people traipsing about the stage in various stages of undress and demonstrating innumerable methods of erotic dance, including but not limited to a contortionist pimp with a dildo for a nose, all while George sat motionless on a stool in the center.

This went on for at least four hours at which point, we decided to take our leave.

As far as I know, that show is still going, never to conclude.

That shit was weird. Really weird.

My favorite live video clip is their performance of Cosmic Slop in Houston 1976. It's pretty much as you describe:

At one point they realize the sound on one of the guitars is out, and they just switch player mid-solo. That's professionalism.
