**At this point in the show, the sound man started increasing the volume and it got pretty distorted. I did my best to clean up the audio.**
Here is one of the Grand Funk Holy Grails. (Ok it isn't Shea Stadium) but it is the only known video of this rare pre-reunion concert from 1996. I was the only one with a camcorder there. For some reason, the security guy let me in and left me alone. I should have brought a tripod...
I have the whole concert recorded and they did a few rarities. Depending on the response, I may post some more.
Enjoy!
** If you are a diehard GFR fan, take note that the instruments are different from the subsequent tours that were to follow. Mark Farner is still using his Peavey guitars here! Also on board are Howard Eddy Jr on Keyboards / backround vocals and Ricky Farner on rhythm guitar / backround vocals.
I remember how big Grand Funk was in the early 70's. They were one of the greatest live bands ever. Millions of albums sold before anyone even heard them on the radio, until they came out with "Were an American Band" The first band to reach Stardom without a hit.

Csak annyi a kifogásom, hogy rendkívül rossz a hangminőség. A drága, érzékeny
hangszórók nem szeretik, ha ilyen torz jelekkel hajtják meg őket!
