Funk's first television appearance on Playboy After Dark show (Playboy Channel) Los Angeles - December 3. (The particular episode re-broadcasted on KTLA-5 TV - February 24 1970) A bizarre show for GFR to perform, you might say, however both cuts performed "Mr. Limousine Driver" and "Please Don't Worry" was matching the show... The challenge to perform lip-synching [!!!] was too 'Grand' as most big name groups had a spot on Hefner's popular show! It would also be a shot in the back for the -just released- second single "Mr. Limousine Driver b/w High Falootin' Woman" and the upcoming [now famous] "Red Album" including such rockin' cuts as Inside Looking Out and In Need...
Some of you may disagree about the 'first television appearance' but I, who have studied Grand Funk... :o) believe that "The Show" taping in Hershey's WITF studios occurred months later, probably May 15 1970, no matter what info Capitol - EMI cd / dvd comp. gives...

@ForReelFunk Hey, I just want to say thanks for sharing your time (and fortune!) to bring these vids back to life. Man, it's a delight to listen to groovy music again and see them live here. This is the first vid I've seen of them doing this song. Dig it! Thanks again, peace.

wow Wow WOW John!
Whatever you did to improve quality is-quite impressive.
I love the "psychedelic" dancing, the Messenger guitar in all it Funkiness...it's beautiful man. Thanks for studying and majoring in GFR, I sure appreciate the gifts you share here with us Funk and Farnercentrics!

Actually, I did nothing to improve quality. I simply own the best copies around (very low gens) and this because I've spend a fortune over the years... But, instead of keeping them videos safe in my collection trunk, I felt obligated to share some of the best copies with the rest of the world interested, especially the real fans!
