France - 'King of psychedelic-funk' Bootsy Collins is well-known for his pivotal role in the band Parliament and for playing bass with 'Godfather of Soul', James Brown. Perhaps surprisingly, Bootsy can also be heard on Dee-Lite's 'Groove is in the Heart', where his bass riff acted as a song within the song.

With such a history, expectations for his concert at the Fiest'a Sète 2014 festival were high. Here Bootsy Collins took the stage for what was the last performance of his French tour, before returning to the US for a new series of concerts.

With lighting design by Jean Marc Jolivet, Bootsy and his 11-piece band were lit by the latest generation of D.T.S. projectors, including the Max L and the Wonder - the only double-optics LED moving head currently on the market.

"In addition to being a great musician, Bootsy Collins is a man with an extraordinary sense of humour," says D.T.S. "This was really an unforgettable concert, with great picks from his latest album: Tha Funk Capital of the World."
