Although a poster of Bootsy Collins has watched over me for years, I haven't seen a performance by the funk giant in eons.

Left with a choice of spending $75 to be tethered to a chair or spending $50 to stand in the back recess of the room, I opted to save my money. I'm still pouting. Here's Joel Francis' review.
