This is my favorite live recording of any song, ever. As you’d expect, Bootsy Collins kills it on the bass, particularly toward the end, but the real star here is his brother Catfish and his astonishing guitar solo. I don’t want to oversell it, so just listen, and get back to me after the moment horns kick back in after the solo.
There are uncool children going to bed tonight without any wah-wah at all tonight because THAT ONE SONG USED IT ALL UP.
Wah-wah or deranged use of an envelope filter? You decide!
