Check out this video I came across! Bootsy was only 18 years old! The link is on my homepage (top story under "Rumblings"). You've got to see this!

Man, he's really moving!

If he strapped his bass higher he'd probably be better.

He really wasn't very quick back then, huh?

Well, he was born in 1951, so he was about twenty. Still it's totally amazing, and I love that old footage.

This one was in Paris, probably from the same European tour. He takes a solo at 7:20: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0fn-xyaGHE

And please check out his older brother Catfish (RIP!) stepping up for his solo at 4:21. That family had rhythm.
