My cousin just wrote a book in the MC 5 , I am embarrassed by this fact . These punks were nothing but a second rate garage bank . I saw them in the late 1960's , they stunk then and now.......

If I dont see you no more in this world, i'l see you in the next one. Dont be late

Jim Downey saw Grant's kid in the backstage area taking down signage that Graham needed for the next show. Jim said politely to please not do that and the limey bastard kicked the crap out of Jim. The next day Graham's crew were doubled and I believe some of the San Francisco Hell's Angels close to the scene made an impressive showing.☠

I'm 70 and still have like 5 of their Albums

Each instrument is played with best sound ever. Far better than sound of todays.

To this day I still listen to the live album I am 68. I play at least once a month. One of the greatest groups. Mel is a BADASS on the BASS.

Too funny trying to look like the old Kingshead😢

The drummer is hired!

9:40 i don't have my glasses on was that les claypool?

wow, thanks for share

Love it Paul!

Wasssup @GregMason

If they bottled the energy from the stage and the audience, they could power New York City for a day..

Bonham was a rude, drunken bully to a lot of people not just this one day.

That these guys are not in the R&R hall of fame is unbelievable. The hall should change its name if GFR isn’t good enough. Obviously they aren’t familiar with what Rock sounds like. This is what it sounds like.

😅

Loved there music

Grand funk never given the credit they deserved, grest music

Good years

Regretfully, I sold my vinyl copy of the album this song was on (Shapes of Venus) and it is literally impossible to find! However, I did snag the last copy in C.D format from an online music hawker Gray Whale Entertainment. 👌

They’re eating at Doumar’s! I saw Dex and Crash many times down in Ghent. Love love love these guys!!! RIP Dex.

This was a historic concert I'd be inclined to say. It is when the whole stadium idea of a "real" concert was realized for the first time. GFR will live in history as playing a huge part in what was to be, in time, the paradigm of a "event" rock show. As it's the norm for the biggest names still today this game-changing event has it's historical place in entertainment history as the true first "real" stadium show.

My Lord, these guys are beasts. The energy is out if this world. Mark is crazy good. And that drummer? Insane. I never saw them live but had their albums. Just not the same. The live experience is transcending.

First band I ever saw live, Spokane 1973

11:58 paranoid 31:55 Inside Looking Out

My first guitar hero and Mel's fuzz bass is the best

Rare stuff indeed. 👏👏👏

SWEET!

The greatest rock'n'roll band that ever came out of the U.S. working class, as far as I am concerned.

How three great musicians can do this is beyond me. GF was and is bad ASS

Rox bigtime yesh

Thanks good film.There is a bit of sound cut off. The video quality is not good either, but I am very grateful to you. As a fan, this makes me very happy.

What genius filmed this...❓❓😂🤣

I remember when K94 played music like this before their format switch in the 80s.

Black, White, men and women. There is hope after all.

Espetacular uma das Melhores Banda do Planeta.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

When Gary died I inherited the award and it broke.

There are several legendary Rock&Roll bands( Led Zeppelin,Deep Purple Iron Butterfly etc, , ,)butGrand Funk Railroad has to be my Alltime FAVORITE band hands down, no doubt no argument theBEST 💯♥️‼️‼️‼️💯🔥🙃😊👍

Yup, Skynrd and then Zeppelin, with my 18th birthday in between, oh and just gradiated high school, OH WHAT A JULY IT WAS………..

Infravalorados mejor que muchas bandas era la banda de la clase trabajadora

Geez... the energy these guys have.

What other rock band had that thunderous bass sound back then besides zeppelin.

Jimi only actually lit his guitar on fire three times...the last time was in late 1967, in Washington DC. No instances after that year!..But he DID often straddle his guitar towards the end of some concerts, and then smash it...but not much of that either, after 1967. He tired of the destructive part of his act.

Jimi is seen here, very briefly, sitting next to a blonde named Charlene Kazuisk (sp), a local groupie-type, who Jimi met at the earlier concert at the Dome...she and Jimi had the typical sex interaction when they met up...Apparently, Charlene hung out with bikers in the area, fell into alcohol and drug abuse, and died many years ago. Crazy, how many hot babes that Hendrix nailed, during his brief rise to fame.

Wooooow como me hubiera gustado estar en ese concierto de esta súper banda ! Mi grupo favorito Grand Funk Railroad !

Thanks for uploading this 👍

Remember 1st shows well...

Saw the Romantics at the Dome in Fall of '81, really heavy distortion, loud, Strictly Personal tour, so glad I went.

The MC5 was a in your face rock n roll band. Had they stayed away from all the politics the legend would be even larger! John came in after the fact and was a leech

Wow 50 years ago!! Can you dig it??? Awesome today in 2024 my grandsons will know who Grand Funk Railroad are!!!!
