LIVE RELEASES
The live albums associated with P-Funk have been put into their own section. Rather than listing song by song, these releases, with some exceptions, have been listed concert by concert, with the full live personnel at that particular show listed. And rather than doing every bootlegged live album from every iteration and side project, mainly the essential core P-Funk groups are listed here for their commercially released live concert albums, with the exception of groups who have only live albums; those were included here as well with some exceptions. These are all live albums that were professionally packaged and sold, not including bootlegs and independent pressings.
