Very few famous performers nowadays can integrate showmanship with their music. In the 70’s a musical group by the name of Parliament took the music world by storm with their out of this world appearance and their own rendition of Funk music. Parliament was one of the key pieces in the development of funk music and modern music as well. They created what we know as P-Funk today that was a key element of the foundation of Hip-Hop. For my concert report I analyzed Parliament’s 1976 The MotherShip Connection tour show from their performance in Texas. Before this report I would listen to Parliament but I had never really taken the time to actually watch a full live performance of them, and after watching them perform my respect and love for them
