Parliament Funkadelic vs. Blue Man Group

Ok, here`s my dilemma. I currently have plans to see Blue Man Group on friday in boston with one of my friends, tickets are usually $50 but for this date alone, Northeastern students can get them for $15. So thats $15, plus $12 both ways to boston, $27 total, if not more for food, etc.

Then on the other hand, the same friend is going to the George Clinton + Parliment Funkadelic show March 1st. Tickets for that are $23, plus tax, and because they're playing in Providence, the $2 bus ticket can get me there no problem. The only problem though is that it will be on a Wednesday, and I have class the next morning.

I don't have any money right now, and I can only possibly get enough money for one of these shows.

So on one hand I have BMG, which would be great. I've seen them once before, and it'd be great to go back and see them with much more appreciation for them than previously. Also, I dont know if i'll see tickets that cheap again, and I'd feel like an *** if I told my friend I wasn't going to go after we already made plans. On the other hand I have P-Funk, which would be a an experience I'll remember for the rest of my life. Who knows the next time they'll be touring, and it'd be great if I got more into them. They're one of the greatest bands in the past half century, and the same friend is probobly going to go to this show.

Any ideas?

Dang, that's tough. I'd go with P-Funk, but if possible I'd try to bum the extra money off the friend. :p

I would personally chose Parliament Funkadelic, but I would attempt Thrawns second idea too.
The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite.

I've seen both acts. Peronally, I'd choose BMG, but then again I'm a big fan.

Factoid: George Clinton actually lives in my town (Tallahassee) and it seems he plays shows here semi-regularly.
