Red Hot Chili Peppers are currently touring Australia and New Zealand with George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic. On Tuesday night at Brisbane, Australia’s Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Clinton and members of P-Funk joined the headliners on stage during their encore, for a funky, full-throttle take on “Give It Away”, off of the band’s 1991 Blood Sugar Sex Magik release.
The Parliament/Funkadelic frontman, who turns 78 in July, recently announced his final outing, the “One Nation Under A Groove” tour, which will feature a variety of artist lineups to celebrate George Clinton’s final dates at the helm of the Mothership. Capping over 50 years of touring and recording, George Clinton & P-Funk will be joined by Galactic, Dumpstaphunk, Fishbone, and Miss Velvet and the Blue Wolf, all of whom are taking time out of their own busy touring schedules to hit the road with the Grammy-winning, formerly-rainbow-dreaded funk, hip-hop, and rock & roll pioneer.
The Chili Peppers first collaborated with George Clinton over three decades ago, when the funk hero produced the band’s early funk album, 1985’s Freaky Styley. They’ve collaborated since, notably at the band’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but have never toured together. With a few dates left together before Clinton retires, there’s certainly potential for more collaborations.
