"MARK SAY'S ALRIGHT" (BACK THEN) Placed here by permission from the dedicated Funk Youtube channel: http://youtube.com/JohninFunk Days like these 40 years ago, a new born group from Flint, MI was added to the countless of that era. The difference with THIS group was that it promoted as if they were a supergroup from day one (!) And supergroup they were in short space of time, playing at large festivals, such as the one in Atlanta the 4th of July 1969 in front of almost 200.000 surprised spectators! The news spread like wild fire and the buzz about them became so strong, that were chosen as 'headliners' at many later festivals! With such an unbelievable crowd response, it wasn't an accident that Grand Funk soon became the most successful group in America, selling more albums and tapes than any other artists in 1970 (with less or no radio and press support...) And if in 1970 the band was so successful [4 gold albums in less than 5 months] nothing could stop the Railroad in 1971! They did two world tours and even sold out the legendary -55000 seat- Shea Stadium in New York City, in just 72 hours!!! [a record - period] Unfortunately, minimal footage [for such a legend band] has been preserved on film from their early trio days with Terry Knight as producer and manager... Here's for the first time some unseen footage of Mark, Don & Mel jamming, just like Knight witnessed them that cold day of March 1969...
