Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Grand Funk Railroad. Period

got to see them in spring of 1972, they were great, sat on 3rd row. they were so loud seemed the walls were shaking, could not hear for 3 days after
concert. before they came out, there was a screen above the stage, you see a train coming from the distance and when it got to front they came out.
Jo Jo Gun was the opening act. it was one I will never forget.

I like this one. Turn it up.

Are they an American Band?

Yes and they Got Closer To Home.

I was just wondering if they were coming to my town

They gonna party down!!

GFR is my all time favorite band.
Demons & Wizards is a really good album by UH.

Saw them about 19&82 or so[those years are fuzzy].
GFR, ZZTop & Rush

For the first 3 albums at least, Grand Funk rocked with the very very best of them. Awesome freakin band!!!!!!


And yes, RRHOF is a damn joke, bunch of teeny boppers or some schit doing the voting.

Way better than Bachman Turner Overdrive or REO Speedwagon, PERIOD!

So many that should have been in the Hall of Fame years ago. How the hell are Blue Oyster Cult, Foreigner, Uncle Ted and Ronnie James Dio NOT in there? They'd rather induct rap and country.

Been to a bunch of concerts over the years, Grand Funk was one of the best

Hated to see this thread die so quickly. Wondering how many folks that like down to earth raw hard rock that haven't heard many of the GF songs that never got radio time. Bass, Guitar & drums, couple singers, the hard workers.

Seems like Foot stompin music, Time Machine, American Band & Closer to home is about all I remember hearing on the radio. There were many other good ones IMO. This is the first album album, titled On Time.

I saw them live at the Atlanta Pop Festival in 1970.
Looked like white trash to me.

Jimi Hendrix played the Star Spangled Banner at midnight, with a massive fireworks show. Jimi was lots better.

Wow, 2 great calls. Uriah Heap was not common but they were one of my favorites.

I saw Grand Funk at the ostrich festival in Chandler, Arizona. It was included in the cost of the festival. They didn’t start playing until almost 8:00 and I was ready to go home at 6:00. My daughter convinced me to stay and I’m glad I did, probably the best concert I have been to.

Max Carl was the lead singer then and they were superb. They had a drum solo that seemed like a 1/2 hour long, but I’m sure it was closer to 5 minutes, but he tore it up.


3 Dog Night isn’t in the RnR Hall of fame either but Sly And the Family Stone made it, so who even cares?

When I posted the entire On Time LP I said to myself that if there were no other comments on the group I'd stop posting, but,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

So here's the entire second LP. Just the first track is worth a ticket.

I saw them years ago, very good

In this album is when Grand Funk changed up their music and added a keyboard player. It's the full album if you like them it's worth listening too.
