This wasn t so much a show as a party. People were dressed in costumes of course, but Bootsy didn t actually perform. I did get to meet him, which was the trill of the night for me. I would have liked to know that he wouldn t be performing. The Clones of Funk were a good band and they played all of Parliament-Funkadelic hits (cover band too close to the actual act). The venue was nice and I always have a good time at the Howard Theatre.

The Bootsy Collins Halloween Party was a smash...very fit for one of our few living legends. All in attendance were polite and well mannered...the police presence at the event made you feel safe and not intimidated...Bootsy had plenty of T-Shirts, Cd's, Vinyl Records, etc...for the fans to purchase...Bootsy Collins along with George Clinton created a music genre and style that sold millions of records, yet the Recording Academy did not enter a category for Funk music...why?

If you love the funk he is the funk. His show is like a breath of fresh air. His performance along with his band are true musicians. May the funk be with you.

I was disappointed because Bootsy didnt play a bass solo. It was clear there was something wrong with his guitar...but overall I enjoyed his showmanship!!! Dr.Cornell West and Snoop Dog were great!! I would love to see Bootsy again ...hopefully he'll have all the kinks worked out with his performance

I was expecting TM Stevens to play with his band shockazooloo. Was disappointed that I did not get to see TM Stevens open. Bootsy played all of his old favorites. He only played one song off of his new CD! Well 2 if you count Cornell West spoken word part. Snopp Dogg did Gin and Juice. Bootsy played about 90 + minutes. Quite understandable why Bootsy did not play his new CD. Not much party stuff on there! TM played Jimi Hendrix's song Purple Haze. Not a bad show.OH one of the girl singers had legs for days!

The show was only ok. Bootsy didn't play for at least half the show, and frankly we could have paid a lot less to see a decent funk band play down the street, because that's all it was without Bootsy. We paid to see Bootsy, but he was busy taking long breaks in the back I guess. No encore at least, which I totally appreciated.

Great show! Started on time. Rocked for 2 1/2 hours. Surprise guests Flava Flave and Snoop Dog! Totally outrageous! Bootsy was in great form. The Funk Never Stopped! Good old fashioned, well produced concert. Obviously well rehearsed and planned out. Great costume changes! Keep the Funk Alive!

The show was so good I would see it again in the near future. Bootsy and his 14-peice band did songs from his new album "The Funk Capital of the World, Bootsy's Rubber Band, Gearge Clinton & P-Funk and some cover songs. This was the first show of the tour and they were on "The One".

Funk was the name of the game Friday night. Bootsy and the band were right on point. With Snoop Dogg spitting out Gin n juice and Flava Flav in da house it was a genuine fine time. If Bootsy comes to your town , it's a most see ! Keep the funk alive !

BOOTSYS BACK BABY!!! The band killed, loved TM Stevens, but he was buried in the back of the show, couldn't see his killer bass....but it is Bootsy's show....maybe that's what's up there. Getting back to the real funk... Purple Haze was amazing...Blackbyrd was sick...and the Sly Stone stuff was off the chain... Mad funk from Razor, Bernie and Blackbyrd...the horns were killer too. What didn't bring the funk was that guy who introduced the band with the pink boa on...audience didn't dig it--wasn't funky...BORING!! Lose that, give us more Bootsy baby!!! this was the first show of the tour, hopefully the funk will tighten up as it goes...go see it, you'll get to see the founders of FUNK!!! :)

Bootsy Collins still has it. He performs many of his old favorites, with some new great songs off of his new album (although he keeps the new stuff to a minimum), and his new backup band is great. I was very happy to see that he was able to get Bernie Worrell and Kash Wady to play with him.

The show began with a great interview of Bootsy, starting from his childhood to playing with James Brown, George Clinton and on to his solo career. When a cut was played from his new album "JB-Still The Man" people were dancing on their chairs. Bootsy later performed some of his signature bass lines and then Thee Ram Jam and two of his students from The Funk University joined in. I recently joined The Funk University and have found it to be a wealth of knowlege.

The Funk Master of all time delivered a funky good time. Still on top of his funk game, Bootsy Collins, captured his true funkateer audience with his accomplished showmanship, glowing and unique personality. A true funkateer, I waited almost 40 years to see Bootsy up close. Worth every dollar. Thanks for a great moment in Funkdom.

Mr. Bootsy Collins really put on a show. He looked wonderful. He looked as young as the group of people in the Band. I am happy that he is mentoring and sharing his gifts and talents with you ng people as James Brown and George Clinton did with him many years ago. That means the Funk will live on. Thanks Bootsy for recognizing Chocolate City . DC loves Bootsy and Bootsy loves DC. The show was out of this world. I felt like I was in my teens and twenties again. What a treat!! Keep on FUNKIN BOOTSY. You are a Master entertainer. What a Show, What a Show!!!

Great show, Bootsy did what he is known for, rocking the house. The band was tight and on point. The sound was phenomenal. Bootsy is not only a great musician but a great showman as well. Bootsy had the whole house jamming. When you looked around, everybody was jamming. There was no restriction on videoing his performance and the tickets were reasonably priced. I would go see Bootsy again, again, and again. One of the funk legend treasures left, a must to see. Old school funk will never die.

I've seen Bootsy 6 times in the past 4 years and Bootsy put on another great show. I took 3 people (a mother and 11 year old daughter, and a co-worker) that had never heard of Bootsy - They all left the show becoming a Bootsy Fan and a Funkateer for Life. The 11 year old said she LOVED the show.

Bootsy was without a doubt the best concert I seen in a long time. A long time funkadelic, Bootsy does not disappoint. He rocked the house, and if I had only one wish, it was that he did not stay around for another night!

I really did enjoy the show. Bootsy sounded so good. I took me back to when he was really mainstream. I loved that he changed outfits several times. I went with my sister and she is a huge fan, at one time the license plate on her car said MUGPUSH. It was a real blast!!!!!!!!

An intimate venue with one of the all-time superstars - a super-energetic, joyful show - what charisma! what a sound! what a happy night! At the end, they auctioned off a KC Chiefs jersey that Bootsy had worn during the show to support his foundation for youth musical education. TEN stars!

The show was a blast, sort of an off hand reunion for myself and about 15 friends that grew up jammin to Bootsie and P-Funk. The show was great and the energy level took me back to the 70's and 80's party times.

The show was great. Awesome performance! Loved how he felt comfortable with the crowd to come down from the stage and be with the audience, even though security advised him against it. Loved the outfits and the lit up guitar. I love performers that know the reason why they are where they are is because of the fans. Some performers don't want to be around their fan base and Bootsy goes out of his way to be around us. He's an awesome bass player. Its great to be able to still see him play! Love ya Bootsy! Ya need to come back to the Keswick soon!

The show was absolutely amazing! Cameo opened & was off the hook, and Bootsy was crazy cool! My only complaint is that Chene Park needs more ushers, and it needs to sell seats that exist! After wandering around we finally found someone to show us to our seats, which didn't exist. Apparently their Ticketmaster sales didn't match up with their box office seating. Thankfully the show wasn't sold out so we still had seats.

After seeing George Clinton and Parliment 25 times in last 4 years, I was overjoyed to see our home town boy Bootsy in Detroit. He did ALL of his most loved songs including "I'd rather be with you", "Stretchin' out", and "Bootsy". He even threw in a couple of bonus like "Hollywood" and "Munchies for your Love" At the end of the show, he came out into the audience and jumped and sang and touched all the fans. It's was the Best!

I'm a Funk lover and have followed Bootsy's career for a long time. Since, well let's not go there. LOL! Anyway, this was the best show ever. The music was great and the venue was the perfect size. Bootsy played like he did way back when and didn't miss a beat. Bootsy had a great mix of his classics with a little of his newest music mixed in. I got there early and was able to get a spot front and center. He made that bass do things that were totally amazing! If he comes back I'll be there!!

With Mudbone in tow, and 30 years of clean living, I have to say that Bootsy and his Rubberband are my favorite P-funk live show! I so hope he comes back next year!!

OLD SCHOOL IN DA HOUSE!!! Three words...Bootsy was Absolutely Amazing! He is by far one of the greatest bass (Space Bass) guitarist and he still doesn't get all the props he deserves from the music world! The show was approx 2 hours and you got 2 hours FUNK! Bernie Worrell the "PFunk" master keyboardist in his band was the added plus. If you never seen Bootsy in concert do yourself a favor and check out the show. You won't be disappointed !!!

The event was titled "Bootsy Collins Hosts Funkiest Halloween Party featuring the Clones of Funk." I bought tickets based on the assumption that this would be a Bootsy Collins show and that he would be playing live on stage. Instead it turns out to have been a promotional party to promote a new album, and the Clones of Funk played, but Bootsy didn't. He merely "hosted" which is not what I paid money for. If I had known what I was paying for I wouldn't have bought the tickets.

Bootsy and his Rubber Band are totally worth it! Go check them out. He wore a Marcel Reece jersey at the end. Dug that! My heart was touched by both him and the band, all of whom were way beyond excellent. The soundman maybe could have turned everyone down a notch because it was so loud that is was kinda washing out at times, at least at the middle of row 11 orchestra level. It was maybe just the mix as heard from that location. The person I was with agreed, but that was just some of the time and it didn't take away from the mind-blowing performance that Bootsy and his band brought. I mean, the Paramount has incredible sound, so I'm just nitpicking one tiny thing from where I was sitting that really didn't bother me, except that I've done live sound, and sometimes you do have to compromise, and sometimes you can't hear what every spot sounds like from where you're sitting so, anyway, what the heck do I know? Hells ya! Unbelievably great show...Highly Recommend Both the Band and the Venue!!

Bootsy Collins is still the ambassador of FUNK! He is unparalleled on the bass and obviously picked the best of the best for the band. I just saw G. Clinton a month ago and I love him too, but BOOTSY was 100% showmanship while delivering music at the highest level possible. You know someone is the real thing when they sound transcendent live, and he certainly did. All of that with his infectious smile, his undeniable love for what he does, and of course his gorgeous costumes! Bootsy -- we love you in Oakland!

Narcisis007

The show took me back to the high school days; 39 years later and I am still getting the same feeling. It was my wife's first time experiencing "the funk" and was enjoyable for her too!! Needless to say, the songs were too short but understandable at the 60+ age. Back in the day, one song could continue for 20 to 30 minutes in a musical groove. I was very disappointed with the Paramount Theatre operation. There was one concession stand on each of the 3 levels. Lines averaged 30 minutes. The 3 concessions closed 20 minutes after Bootsy took the stage (with no annoucement).

Disappointed3000

We arrived at 8 when the concert was scheduled to start. We sat thru an okay dj and a fairly good comedien- tuff gig. None of these acts were ever mentioned to be included in the show!. Then the DJ started to get everyone pumped up and excited for Boosty. But instead out came a singer with a keyboardist as back up. She was horrible! It was like watch some tinker bell dressed child prance around the stage with a homemade cape. It was the wrong style of music for that venue. It brought the whole crowd way down. I could hear from the audience that we weren't the only ones disappointed. We tried to stay, but it was unbearable & we had already been there for 2 Hours! I guess they wanted people to keep buying drinks and make as much money as possible. I payed a lot of money for a tour of the paramount with expensive drinks

For two hours there were performers by the local Indianapolis entertainment. The main event didn't get started until 1030.Bootsy Collins did not show up until 1145 and by that time I was pooped irritated and ready to go. He lasted over an hour would've enjoyed him better had he showed up earlier.

Bootzilla put his thing down as expected. He looked great, he played great, and he sounded great. Tight band as expected, didnt' miss a lick! (Lesson he learned from James Brown) I was tickled to see he still has his funky wit and funky wardrobe. The knee high white boots with the stars......his "aluminum foil suits" and his wonderful headpieces! Greas job StageAE! Keep it coming!
