The Mothership return...

[Northern-Monkey]

Deffo Mothership for me, can't wait to get my funk out.

Every time I think about seeing some of Kanye out of curiosity, this flashes before my eyes and I just shake a fist at the sky:

Another review here (apologies if already posted). Clearly written by a fan, but gives a good idea of how much of a party his shows really are.

It might contain some *SPOILERS* though.

anybody know what format will the Mothership show take? the official line up page suggests it's Family Stone up first, then GC and the rest. is it a double header, or will there be collaborations?

My hope is that there is no format at all, with lots of chopping and changing, blending them all into one glorious funk odyssey.

In other words I have no idea, but it'll be a fun ride!

Hope the WH sound system is up to it's usual standards, should sound amazing!

Ugh how can you even compare the two

[Nialldotcom]

I'm torn between PSB, Kanye and Mothership first year going and i'm already stressing from all these clashes

[Wooderson]

Ugh how can you even compare the two

I've seen both. Clinton's band a mess by comparison.

[Northern-Monkey]

Ugh how can you even compare the two

Very easily!

West Holts Facebook has revealed how the two bands are going to interact:

"a two hour show that will start with the Family Stone, then goes into Parliament Funkadelic and then a finale that will see everyone jam together."

Hmmm....Could even see The Family Stone for a bit and then head in the direction of Yeezus.

(who I guess might be be late onstage).

that end jam could go either way.

I will let the drugs decide where I end up I think.

This is my thinking.

If Yeezus is bombing, head back for the jam.

[CaledonianGonzo]

It'd be just a bit back and forth and back again.....definitely a bridge too far if underfoot conditions are less than pristine.

I would love to see Suede. I watched George Clinton and Parliament at Bestival and thought they were great. If it was just them though I would go see Suede but I really want to see Family Stand so think they have made my mind up for me. There will be a great party in West Holts that night!

[MichaelsBeard]

What did we all think then? I loved it!

[TheNewUnion]

Loved it, great atmosphere, great tunes. The party was at West Holts that night, had a great time once the people pushing in and out of the crowd had settled down. Quite why someone battles their way into a crowd then out again 10 minutes later is beyond me.
