The only officially released in-concert Parliament-Funkadelic album, Live: P-Funk Earth Tour captures George Clinton and company at their peak in 1977, compiling recordings of a couple shows (January 19 at the Los Angeles Forum and January 21 at the Oakland Coliseum). The double-LP/single-CD album can't do justice to the group's extravagant theatrics, most memorably the landing of the mothership, but it's a wonderful showcase for their musical ability and their catalog of great songs.

"…MDG provides typically fine sonics, with the strings well balanced against a piano that turns a bit glassy in its upper register at higher dynamic levels. The real question is whether or not, with such fine versions already available from various Czech groups on Supraphon (Panocha Quartet) and Praga (Klánský/Prazák Quartet), you will want to spend premium price to acquire this newcomer, even if the coupling of these two particular works is somewhat unique. This is a decision you must make for yourself; if you ultimately opt to go for it, you won’t be sorry." ~classicstoday

Breaking down Elmore's Fire and Enjoy sessions into separate volumes makes sense for the casual fan who doesn't want to pop for the complete box set, available in two different configurations from Collectables and Capricorn. This first entry collects up 13 solid examples of Elmore's work for Bobby Robinson's labels, with "The Sky Is Crying," "Rollin' & Tumblin'," "Done Somebody Wrong," "Bobby's Rock," and "Baby Please Set a Date" being the notable tracks aboard.
