This is a clip from the legendary Shea Stadium Concert that broke The Beatles ticket sales record. A record that still stands today (37 years later). I'm proud to say this video is in the permanent archives of Shea Stadium & The N.Y. Mets. Yes, this is the real deal, the Grand Funk Railroad we all love at the peak of their great career. This is a historic concert that folks still rave about. If you were there, feel lucky, because you were a part of history. This is considered by many to be one of the greatest concerts in the short history of "Hard Rock/Metal". Grand Funk Railroad was truly a "Performance Vehicle". It is truly amazing that this record has stood this long. A Testament to how great & how influincial this band was in the early 1970's. People are passionate about this great, innovative band. Check out the link below to see what "The Great Mark Farner" has to say today about this historic performance. Grand Funk Railroad ruled the world from '69-'76! Some call it "Industrial Rock". You'll see no lazers or pyro here, just some of the greatest music ever performed live. Shea Stadium suffered structural damage after this show. In fact, the concert was almost stopped because Ol' Shea was oscillating from the excited crowd.

Although Im feeling mighty sick.

Or am I all alone.
If you return me, to my home port,
I will kiss you mother earth.
Take me back now, take me back now,
To the port of my birth.

To take my ship away from me?
Youd better think about it, I just cant live without it.
So, please dont take my ship from me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah ...

And its tightening, around my throat.
Heaven help me, heaven help me,

Grand Funk Railroad performing Inside
http://www.petitiononline.com/GFRMDM/petition.html
Grand Funk Railroad performing Inside Looking Out live from 1969. This clip was shot at "The Show" WITF-TV in Hershey,Pa. November 1969. Mark & Don were 20 & Mel 18 years old. This clip is timeless. I've had hundreds of messages from people of 4 generations worldwide that just are in awe of this powerful performance (Folks from 11 to 83 years of age). I've been told it's early "metal", to the original "grunge", to the real begining of "punk, to the first "garage band", to "pure tribal rock", to "straight-in-your-face rock", to "industrial-strength power rock". One things for sure, it is powerful, passionate, singular, & unique. Mark, Don, & Mel changed music forever with 10 minute Power Songs like this one. This is a POWER TRIO at its best. Grand Funk Railroad was truly a "Performance Vehicle". What you heard on the albums could be duplicated 100% on their live performances. Many would say it's impossible for a 3 piece band to do this live. See the impossible. Once you start watching it, it's hard not to finish it. This is the most popular GFRxR video on the net.

Ice cold water is runnin through my veins.
They try and drag me back to work again.
Pain and blisters on my mind and hands.
I work all day making up NICKEL (burlap) bags.
The oats theyre feeding me are driving me wild.
I feel unhappy like a new born child.
Now, when my time is up, you wait and see.
These walls and bars wont keep that stuff from me.

Wont keep that stuff from me.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

This is a clip from a VHS documentary
http://www.petitiononline.com/GFRMDM/petition.html
This is a clip from a VHS documentary called "Get Down Grand Funk" from 1968 of Grand Funk Railroad performing Into The Sun. The original name of the 1968 docu-film that was called Mondo Daytona. It was recorded in spring of '68 during Daytona "Bike Week". This documentary was filmed for its shock value. The spring break action of college kids, the bikers, & yes what was to become Grand Funk Railroad. The Tams & Swinging Medallions were the other 2 bands featured on this documentary. Truly a sign of the times. This is the first video of GFRxR right after they became a Power Trio from the defunked "The Pack". Mark & Donnie were 19 years old & Mel was 18. Grand Funk Railroad has gone down in music history as starting a genre of music called "Hard Rock", which later became known as "Metal". This is a historic performace for sure.
