1972 - In December 23, 1972, 49 years ago today, Grand Funk Railroad headlined a benefit concert at Madison Square Garden for the Phoenix House, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation organization. Given that the band's most recent album was entitled Phoenix, the partnership made perfect sense. The show was filmed for the series ABC In Concert, and was simulcast on FM radio. While Grand Funk was popular enough to sell out MSG, they were still months away from their biggest commercial success. In June 1973, the band would release the album We're An American Band, which would go to #2 on the Billboard charts, while the title track would do even better, capturing the top spot!

Great sound and set list!
Thank you for this one !
Have a Lovely Christmas,
Greetings from Paris
Cool to see some live Grand Funk being shared, the first 6 GFR LP's are perfect rock 'n' roll in my book.
Unfortunately all the shows you've posted so far have been from after the band's live peak. Do you have anything else in the vaults from the early power trio era before they added the keyboard player?
Thank you!
