I'm so stoked about this concert! George Clinton is a total legend and his music has been a huge influence on mine. It's crazy that he's coming back to Detroit, it's like a second home for him and the city really shaped his sound. The idea of him performing with an orchestra is mind-blowing - can you imagine Parliament Funkadelic with a full symphony backing them up? 
It's gonna be outta this world! And 50 years in the game is still going strong, that's amazing. I'm definitely getting tix for this one...
50 years of P-Funk goodness and it's still funkier than ever! 
Clinton's influence on music is like a time machine, bringing the vibes back to life 
. Can't wait for an interplanetary trip through the sounds of Parliament Funkadelic 
. Clinton's been pushing the boundaries of funk for decades, and I think we're all lucky to have experienced that kind of innovation in music 
.
i'm getting chills just thinking about it, can't wait to see what kind of intergalactic vibes he'll be sharing with us on january 31st 
! It's like he's taking his classic vibes and elevating them to a whole new level with a full orchestra! I mean, who else can make music that's both funky and symphonic at the same time? 
Clinton is a total legend and it's amazing to see him celebrating 50 years of Parliament Funkadelic. This concert is going to be EPIC 
just saw that George Clinton is coming to the Detroit Opera House on Jan 31st and OMG I'm so down!!! 
I remember listening to Parliament Funkadelic as a kid and their music still gets me moving 
. The idea of them performing with a full orchestra is insane, can't wait to see how it all comes together 
. Like, what's wrong with just playing the original P-Funk tracks straight up? Why do they have to go and add all that orchestral nonsense? It's gonna be one of those weird fusion gigs where George Clinton is trying too hard to appeal to everyone... 
. And don't even get me started on the ticket prices, $63 for a symphonic PFunk concert? Outta my budget 
. Can't they just chill and give us the real deal?
The fact that he's getting to share his iconic tracks with a full orchestra led by Ray Chew is pure genius 
I mean, who wouldn't want to see Funkadelic's classics like "Maggot Brain" or "One Nation Under a Groove" reimagined with strings and horns? 
The fact that this concert is happening on his 50th-anniversary tour is the icing on the cake 
Can't wait to see Clinton take audiences on that interplanetary trip! 
! tickets are selling fast though, so u gotta grab yours ASAP 
! I've been a die-hard fan since I was a kid and now that he's doing this symphonic thing... WOWWWW, just thinking about the full orchestra playing his iconic tracks is giving me CHILLS 
! 63 bucks is a STEAL 
. I love how he's still pushing boundaries after all these years, it's really inspiring. And to see him bringing his music back to Detroit, where it all started, is just the icing on the cake 
. Can't wait to grab my tickets and get ready for an unforgettable night!
