i recently purchased some dvd's:

The Mothership Connection Live From Houston
Since i was too young to enjoy the P-Funk as a child, this is as close as im gonna get. yea, George and the Crew still come
around on tour but not like this!! this is P-Funk at its best. i smiling and getting my groove on while watching this dvd. it took me back to my younger days...long cars, red, black and green flags, afros and red, black and green picks! im in heaven.
songs on the dvd:Includes such classic hits as: "Mothership Connection", "Cosmic Slop", "Gammin' On Ya", "Standing On The Verge Of Getting' It On", "The Undisco Kid", "Children Of Production", "Swing Down Sweet Chariot", "Dr. Funkenstein", "Comin' Round The Mountain", "P. Funk", "Tear The Roof Off The Sucker", "Night Of The Thumpasorus Peoples", and "Funkin' For Fun".

Jimi Plays Berkeley
i really wanted Jimi and a Band of Gypsys dvd but couldnt find it. after seeing soooo many great live clips of Jimi, i had to get a dvd...havent had a chance to watch it yet...but im looking forward to it!
also got...

The Richard Pryor Show, Vol. 1
i can remember seeing this show but i was still young but not really understanding it. Now, i can watch it and understand the genius that was Richard Pryor!
and...

Black Wax
i had to get this one just to see the brother do his thing LIVE. his commentary on social issues at the time are a bonus as well. once again, i was a kid and knew shit wasnt right...but listening to Gil break it down is wonderful.
now i just have to find the time to watch them all....

where on earth did you find these gems?
i found them at the flea market.. they are bootlegs and were only five bucks apiece! i couldnt find the Parliment or Gil Scott-Heron ones anywhere local and didnt want to order through Amazon (a brother is broke!)
one of my favorite lines by gil scott-heron is "tha muthfuckin' dogs is in the street..." LOL
