Grand Funk Railroad - We're An American Band (Live in Tokyo, Japan 1982) FM Broadcast

Grand Funk Railroad is an American rock band formed in Flint, Michigan, in 1968 by Mark Farner (vocals, guitar), Don Brewer (drums, vocals), and Mel Schacher (bass). The band achieved widespread popularity and commercial success during the 1970s with hit songs such as We're an American Band, I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home), Some Kind of Wonderful, Walk Like a Man, The Loco-Motion, Bad Time and Inside Looking Out (a cover of the Animals). Grand Funk released six platinum and seven gold-certified albums between their recording debut in 1969 and their first disbandment in 1976.
Known for their crowd-pleasing arena rock style, the band toured extensively and played to packed arenas worldwide, and was well-regarded by audiences despite a relative lack of critical praise. The original trio reunited at various times later into the band's career; after Farner's final departure in 1997, Brewer and Schacher have continued touring as Grand Funk Railroad.
