This is what many people think Rock & Roll is all about. GFRxR was simple and they were crude and they rocked with a vengeance without pretense or apology. Their live show was 100% energy. It was raw and it was real. For all us who remember, nothing can replace it.

[PackedFunk]

As an artist and creator that saw all levels of the playing field, Mark Farner's musical diversity is a matter of public record. Rolling Stone Magazine ranked "I'm Your Captain/Closer to Home" as one of the top ten classic songs of all time. Way to go Mark!!! Further proof this great American Band can not be ignored any longer!!!

Grand Funk kickin' ass & taking names.

Why wasn't this tune ever released? I reminds me a little bit of Frankenstein.

Why did the guys take all the tunes on this show a break neck tempos?

[PackedFunk]

I've always called GFRxR a performance vehicle. This entire concert proves what I say. The fact remains that no band in the world could follow GFRxR, or they'd suffer the consequences (booed off-stage).

Tribal!

Don Brewer is the most underrated classic rock drummer of alltime

Hey. Michigan is the home of "Rock and Roll" if you ask me......Only song that came close to what GFR puts out was "Queens" We will rock You............The stadium thundered and bounced with the drum beating.

Excellent drumming on this songs as was everything Brewer did. Notice this was before the era of drum kits being raised off the floor. Back in these days drummers were on the floor with the rest of the band.
