RARE! Grand Funk Railroad - Footstompin Music LIVE York PA 1996

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.


* * At this point in the concert, the sound man changed the volume and it started to get pretty distorted. I did my best to clean up the audio.

I was there. This was in support of the Bosnia release. Would see them again if Mark had stayed with Don & Mel (and Craig?) Rick Derringer opened I think

@nochatman This was actually a year before the Bosnia concerts. They did a few "pre-reunion" shows which led to the full fledged reunion.

This was a small tour to show the powers to be at the Rock and Roll Hall of Shame how to rock-n roll. Plus it was there 30th year as GFR.

GFR won't get in unless they buy a ticket and go in the front door.

This was a great show. Mark was having so much fun.
