Don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but this sounds like the exact Black Licorice performance used on the "Caught In The Act" double album. Maybe the audio from that album could be substituted and added to this video. Just a thought.

@Worrell057 It's a real good thought in fact!!!

[ForReelFunk]

And this is the result after boosting the vocals/

[ForReelFunk]

Isn't he cute doing that "Schacher [Shocker] Strut", the little bong rattler....

[Santangelo5]

One of the greatest understimated bands ever!

Creem ("America's Only Rock & Roll Magazine" they touted on their cover) once put out a Heavy Metal special, and writer Jeffrey Morgan did a piece on Grand Funk. Anyway, it seemed he preferred the trio era, but gosh, GFR are just a bad ass band here. It's too band that their history has not recieved the attention Led Zep has, with the DVD era.

[sownzgr8]

PEOPLE!!! There always was, always is, and always will be one original GFR, and this is it...



[Tearhill]

the sound is terrible compared to the released recording but put it together...so cool...yeah, come on now listen to the sick base, you can think Fredde Mercury and Kurt Cobain and that is as close as you can get to the raw insane power and inflection fo the vocals...look up the studio and tell me Im wrong... thanks for the live feed, got a good ear and can hear....right up there with the "greatest" conversation... thanks for sharing

[HardRockDrummer666]

DUDE! This is awesome! The bass master strut, the vocals, Mark's guitar up by his neck and the energy he had, EVERYTHING... Bad fucking video!! LOVE IT!! L.O.V.E.!! Good days for me and awesome memories!!
