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...

  • 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!

  • @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.

  • Who is the girl next to Mark at 0:06? Great song, I am looking for a performance of High Falloting Woman, someone knows about a clip of this song?

  • @metalloveman yes....it's very easy....Mel hits a bad bump note on 1:50...

  • thanks dude I had a really bad copy from a guy in Holland who sold me a dvd of many Funk live performances...the overall quality is lousy.....and we are still waiting for Shea Stadium concert...I know that I will die without seeing it....

  • 0:05....Lindsay is f-in hot! Wow...go bionic woman!!

  • @rorocker holy crap—good call! I thought she looked familiar, but too old for Meg Ryan LOL. is this verifiable in any way?

  • This is great! Was listening to some GFR today on MOG and heard this. Had to find the vid. Thanks for posting this!
