Between 1970 and 1974, Grand Funk Railroad scored 8 consecutive top ten albums (7 studio, 1 live) on the Billboard charts, including We’re An American Band, which went to #2 in 1973. The also had two #1 singles - We’re An American Band and The Locomotion - as well as a #3 hit in Some Kind Of Wonderful. During the bands heyday, the general perception was that, although the critics hated them, audiences loved them. This soundboard recording, one of the very few around, captures Grand Funk on June 3, 1974, 4 decades ago today, in Los Angeles. I’ve always loved the tunes, We’re An American Band and I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home), so that’s more than enough reason to bring you some live Grand Funk!
Grand Funk/Bruce Springsteen Connections
- On June 13, 1970, Steel Mill, Springsteen’s band at the time, opened for Grand Funk at a Bricktown NJ’s Ocean Ice Palace.
- In March 1976, Springsteen and Carole King sang Loco-Motion together at a tribute concert honoring King’s songwriting. King had written the tune in 1962 along with Dave Goffen, Grand Funk, of course, took that tune to #1 in 1974.
