Get Yer Vinyl Out takes you to New York, Ohio and beyond for a selection of their greatest hits performed live on stage. Eventual splits and reformations plagued the band who finally bowed out in 1983, but they survive as one of America's greatest rock bands whose legendary performing power has come to symbolise their revered legacy. Blue-collar America adored their no-nonsense, loud rock'n'roll, but Grand Funk (Railroad) bore the brunt of critic's jibes for most of their career. Grand Funk Railroad took their veiled Motown/Stax influences and grafted them onto a fuzz-drenched hard blues-rock template, and muffler dragging roared out of Flint, Michigan like the little engine that could, confounding the critics and building an impressive record sales portfolio in the 1970s by giving their ardent, blue-collar fans no more and no less than what was. It's hard to believe that a band who once sold-out New York's Shea Stadium faster than The Beatles, and were the first US rock band to have 10 platinum discs in a row, should lay in the virtual shadows of notable greats such as Sabbath or Zeppelin. ![]()
