Grand Funk Railroad

In March 2016, Grand Funk Railroad performed live at Badlands Pawn in Sioux Falls, SD, showcasing their enduring legacy. This concert followed a series of albums that revived their classic hits for a new audience, reminding fans of their rock roots. Before this performance, they released 'Beat the System' in 1980—a notable album reflecting a transitional phase for the band as they navigated the ever-changing music scene. Interestingly, Grand Funk is celebrated not just for their music but for their live performances that often drew massive crowds, earning a reputation as one of America's premier rock bands in the '70s. The Sioux Falls show was a testament to their ability to connect with fans across generations, bringing fresh energy to their iconic track 'We're An American Band,' a classic that energized audiences then and continues to resonate today.
