What The Funk?! Mark Farner’s Excellent Adventure (Interview) | Rock Cellar Magazine

Never really knew much about Mr. Farner, even though I've been a fan of GFR since the early '70s. I found the interview quite revealing and interesting.
I love the first two Grand Funk albums On Time and Grand Funk they're classic boogie hard rock albums from that period. They were also a fantastic band to watch live and one of the most exciting trios ever. Another great album of theirs was We're An American Band, which benefited from Todd Rundgren on production duties.

^ That movie sounds interesting, I'll have to check it out since I'm into their early work more than their later efforts.

I saw them a couple of times between '96 & '98 when they reunited for a few tours. Definitely an exciting band to see live! They sounded as good as they did in the 70's, almost as if they had never stopped playing together.

Caught in the Act is a great live double album of theirs released in 1975, its a great live album of the 1970s that hardly gets any attention. A bit of trivia, Styx released a live album with exactly the same name in 1984 and that is also a classic live double album as well

GFR's Caught is also a great end to their golden years as the next album was Born to Die. Sadly, it only went to #21 in the US following a succession of Top 10 albums although it is seen by fans to be a great reminder of the band's live show.
