[MegaTiblanc]

QUE DE SOUVENIRS je les ai vu au forum de montreal , la meme année, en 1970 ,aioill mes oreilles!

[CapitanForas]

fantastic brother retun see, GFR

[Scrappy1138]

I like this version better than the animals. Am I a bad person?

[CoastersNSich]

The name of the venue was actually "Crosley Field" not "Crowsley," which would close its gates forever later that month.

[jennybh08]

This is a fun song to play on drums.....i like playing to the GFR Live version....1970!! It's a DAMN GOOD work out!! ALL HAIL DON BREWER!!!!!!!!!!

[superkunk2]

Grand funk original Jam band.  This is how the party gets started.

[FAZOOO]

is this a soundboard rec ? f,n awesome!!!

[vinnynumbnuts]

who the heck is the lanky, shirtless guy with the buttons on his pants, standing behind farner throughout the song? great performance by grand funk, but that guy is irritating.

[vinnynumbnuts]

mark 's guitar solo seduces the masses like no other. there are others who do so also, but mark had his own special brand(y).

[vinnynumbnuts]

RAW rock that can never be regained. heaven to watch and listen to this.

[oatstao]

M O N S T E R ! --- soo.. Anthony Keidis is just a cheap emulation of Farner? wow.

[oatstao]

M O N S T E R !

[jdlewis60]

...and why aren't these guys in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame???

[sirwob]

they put the FUNK in Grand Funk

[ajtoy454]

this is the first time i ever seen Don drop a stick, or maybe it broke??

[JohninFunk]

@ajtoy454

I've seen Don drop his drumstick more times, but he was faster than Lucky Luke drawing his gun / pulling the trigger!

You could almost never see it, neither hear a missing beat!!! 

[ajtoy454]

@JohninFunk

really,, at all the videos ive seen, i never seen this...hummmm

[oatstao]

@ajtoy454 it shattered from all that energy there. OHIO KNOWS HOW TO PARTY. Damn this is quite the event. They rocked hard live. THat live album they put out is one of the best.

[happypacow]

Damn! I had to spark one up. Excellent post man.

[IDKSOMTHIN]

Hahaha The Wall Of Death Circa 1970.

[anthonycrystal33]

anyone know what type of guitar mark is playing?

[yourunclehank1]

1971 THIS WAS THE PREMIER ROCK BAND IN THE WORLD

OUTSOLD THE BEATLES AT SHEA STADIUM

Untouchable - the stones, elvis, and the beatles were the only

acts close to this band

This is another lost in the shuffle act that no one seems to

remember.

Get their albumns and take a good listen to the roots of

U.S. rock from the 60's and early 70's

Even Hendrix and Cream couldn't pull what these guys did

They were and still are the epitomy of an american band

[sloanstewart]

somehow i ran across a full vid of this midsummer rock thing and i have to tell ya, grand funk totally kicked out the jams. the whole show was crazy didn't expect to see alice cooper, the stooges, and mountain on the same show. amazin'!

[lakewebster]

I was at this concert that summer along with about 8 other friends. There were some great groups there , including.. Its a Beautiful Day (white Bird) , Zephyr , Alice Cooper , Bob Seger System (when he had the awesome drummer Pep Perrine) Mountain , Mott the Hoople , Ten Years After , Bloodrock, Brownsville Station , Savage Grace , there were others but don't remember who they were and the Traffic closed the 12 hour plus show at around midnight. A riot ensued after the show

[Highonahorse]

Diesen Konzertausschnitt habe ich vor 39 Jahren

als 11 jähriger Junge im "Beat Club" gesehen und seitdem bin ich durch Mark Farner für den Rest meines Lebens der Gitarre verfallen.....

GFR hat mein Leben entschieden verändert!!!

[Infowarrior55]

As Mr. Burns would say. "Excellent" I remember those "nickle bags." Thank you so much for posting this!!!!

[Bekki54]

Love the way the crowd rushes up to see and hear them better. Brings back some memories in 1971. I was in the FRONT row just waiting for these guys to come on stage. When they came on....it was chaos!! People pushed their way forward, and I ended up 5 rows back. (talk about pissed)

[47tooter]

i was 14 in ''75'' when i heard G F ,loved em and 34 years later , still love em..this has always been my favorite song,,really cool..

[ForReelFunk]

先ほどの番組名ですが、「ナウ　エキスプロージョン」です。

[344fuchan]

やはりＧＦＲはライヴ。７１年の日本で雷雨の球場コンサートが伝­説になっているが、その初来日に先駆けて、確かテレビ東京（当時­は東京１２Ｃｈ）でプロモーションライヴビデオが流れたが、これ­またＩＮＳＩＤＥ　ＬＯＯＫＩＮＧ　ＯＵＴで、この迫力が４０年近く経ったいまでも脳裏にやき付くも­のすごい映像だった。誰かこの映像を提供できませんか？

[JohninFunk]

Hello 344fuchan,

Is there a chance any Tokyo Channel 12 documentation of the legendary stormy show of GFR at the Korakuen Stadium still survive??? I have plenty of photos, but no video...

[TheDragonGuitar]

@344fuchan Que chucha dices?? jajaj ..supongo que tu coemtario es de aprobaciíon a grand funk..yeahh viva el rock and roll

[Lmcdan1313]

Thanks John! Mark's first wife can be seen at side of stage leaning on the organ.This surely has more footage somewhere in the archives.

[JohninFunk]

Right Larry, the blond girl is Cheri Chestnut who Mark married in November 14 1972 on Lee Pickens [Bloodrock] boat at the Eagle Mountain lake, Fort Worth, TX.

[Stangwlf]

Great images an of early 70's concert, with the great Grand Funk!!
