Grand Funk Railroad

By April 20, 1997, Grand Funk Railroad was in a phase of revival following a hiatus that lasted from the early 1980s to the mid-1990s. During this time, the band had been re-establishing itself with original members and the addition of newer musicians. Notably, their earlier comeback album, "_glue_," released in 1996, marked a return to the studio after years. The live performance of "Mean Mistreater" from The Palace of Auburn Hills demonstrates the band's enduring appeal and ability to resonate with audiences, even as the music scene evolved. The 1997 concert played a part in their ongoing legacy, showcasing their classic rock roots while allowing newer members to shine, such as Howard Eddy Jr. on keyboards. This period reflects a crucial transition in Grand Funk Railroad's history, as they balanced nostalgia with the need to connect to a new generation of rock fans.
