Reaction to possibly the best live rock performance I've heard. Grand Funk

Always loved Grand Funk, especially in concert. I saw them 3 times as a youth.

I found this great reaction video from a younger guy hearing them for the first time, singing one of their best songs, Inside Looking Out.

If you're young this'll show you why us old farts are so hard on most current music.

It doesn't get much better than this.

Thought the band was great. Tried to listen to it decades later and realised how badly it had aged. IMHO. Now I understand why my parents winced whenever I played it.

I saw them once around '71 or '72 and this was back in the days of loud, distorted PA's, and my ears were ringing for 3 days afterwards. And at 73, I am not at all hard on current music; I'm more apt to be hard on stuff that was popular when I was growing up; today I listen to contemporary rock and pop music, among others, but I don't think I've listened to Grand Funk in over 45 years.
