Grand Funk Railroad

In the summer of 1970, at Crosley Field in Cincinnati, Grand Funk Railroad was riding high on the success of their album 'Closer to Home,' which had been released just a month prior, in April. This live performance, part of a memorable Midsummer Rock event, showcased the band's powerful sound and dynamic stage presence amid a lineup that included notable acts like Alice Cooper and Iggy Pop. Interestingly, 'Closer to Home' featured their hit single 'I’m Your Captain (Closer to Home),' which would become an anthem resonating with fans for years. This particular live recording captures the raw energy and connection the band had with its audience, solidifying their reputation as one of America's premier rock bands during a time of musical evolution.
