Grand Funk "The Railroad" 1974

San Diego Show in 1974
Epic ode to The Railroad, the Grand Funk Railroad was a "mighty good line" I wonder if the offer: "...come on and ride the Railroad, one more time" still stands? Many of us would take them up on that offer!

These are such cool recordings. If you want I can put them back in sync. It's a shame they are out by a half a second or so. Let me know - I'd be glad to do any of them for you. Thanks for the great post

[ForReelFunk]

Thanks. It is just a "hair" out of sync I agree. And, you being such a great drummer I would see why timing is everything!

This downloaded from disc in two segments that I played with for a while to get it right in my playback. Then, when uploaded to You Tube...this is the result even using the 1 second delay rule for upoading here.

@1dannyrios Because rock sorta died and they were left standing when disco and love ballads and metal bands took over........I suppose...........As long as we keep reaching back and playing our root music, all of us 70 hippies/rockers will be just fine!!! (Orig from Detroit here)...........

i dont understand why this breat band was so underrated. they got great songs!!!

@prince8260 same for me. My father gave it to listen to me on an old vinyl when I was around ten years old. The intro riff made me fly.

One of those songs that dropped me into rock once and for all :). The goosebumps are still there after all these years.

One Of Grand Funk Railroad's better songs... excellent post..... Mark Farner sings his ass off in this song...

[ForReelFunk]

The Michigan State Fair show (8/28/09) was great with Mark prancing around and N'rG backing him up with gusto.They nailed this tune and it was INTENSE JAMMING JUST LIKE THE GOOD OL' FUNK DAYS...Just loud and kick ass! Mark was in such a good mood and great voice!
