2. Outstanding

Such an epic piece of music.

[Siwsan]

3. Grand Funk Railroad has been memorialized on a RR viaduct in their home town - Flint, MI

Crossing Fenton Road. I honestly don't remember when it was first painted or who painted it. The band is on record saying it wasn't them.

4. I saw them front the 3rd row

I thought I was going to have permanent damage to my hearing.

[Chainfire]

5. I was maybe in the tenth row in Milwaukee, and I am sure I lost hearing that day.

I remember the first time I heard that song, smoking dope with some of my hippie buddies and I thought it was outstanding. It was the only song that I could remember all of the words at the ending.

7. Everybody That Learned Guitar....

...in the late 60s to the mid 70s likely learned this song.
At least nearly every guitar player of that era I've known did.
That riff is iconic.

8. I think "I'm Your Captain" had a major influence on this track...
