Great Live Grand Funk Railroad CD
It includes one of the best songs to listen to before a big event, the hard-charging "Are You Ready?", which was left off CAUGHT IN THE ACT, another great live album by the band. Grand Funk Railroad's 1971 LIVE ALBUM is one of the best of its era, and of all time. This album does get a bit windy with the extended jamming, but the songs are strong and the playing is superb. This CD is essential for any fan of rock & roll.


The Greatest Live Album Ever!!
The only other live album that comes even close is Live at Leeds or maybe No Sleep Till Hammersmith. This is the loudest, rawest, most savage kick a$$ rock and roll record ever recorded! It never gets the respect it deserves. Before morphing into a radio friendly pop band (The Locomotion), Funk were the heaviest thing going. Nobody could touch them. . . Zep, Purple, nope. What's really cool is Mel's bass is high in the mix ala Entwistle and it really drives the band. And Mark has a guitar sound like no other mainly due to the Messenger axe going into the West amps. This generation needs to hear this album if they think Green Day is heavy!! Absolutely Essential. My favorite album of all time. .


Live Perfection
No dubbing, no support musicians-just three gentlemen in sycnh with one another and their audience. A moment in time to cherish, when everything came together perfectly and before commercialism took over the group. A raw and powerful performance as impressive today as it was when it first hit the shelves. I am still impressed with front man Mark Farner's "words of wisdom" to the audience.


LIVE without the BS
This is one of my favorite LP's from the 70's. . along with Humble Pie Rockin' The Filmore, this a must have for anyone who is a fan of the REAL thing without all the bubble gum and BS of current so called 'live' shows. My biggest regret is that I wasn't there, and it's not available on DVD. . ! Long Live the 70's!!!.


Into the Sun
Early Grand Funk was one of the BEST hard rock bands of the late 60's and early 70's and this is an historic testament to the great music from back then. One of the best live hard rock albmus of all time. If you like hard rock you should check this CD out.

If a CD can be worn out by playing it a zillion times, then I'm well on my way to wearing this one out!!!! .
