Grand Funk Railroad/Germany 1971

Here is a direct CD release from the original master cassette owned by Taper, who lives in Germany, of the December 4th performance in Düsseldorf, Germany, from the Euro leg at the end of the 1971 world tour. First of all, while there is also the official excavated live album “LIVE: THE 1971 TOUR” in recent years, it was an edited album from the US performances from April to July of the same year, and it was a collection of sound sources from various places, whereas this is an almost complete recording of one concert over 82 minutes, and even the bass is picked up throughout the entire work, which is hard to believe for an audience recording from the early 1970s, and it is truly miraculous. In addition, the album features a lot of early numbers such as “In Need”, “Mean Mistreater”, “Heartbreaker” and “Mark Say’s Alright” that are not included in the official “LIVE: THE 1971 TOUR”, and you can even hear “Anybody’s Answer” and “Time Machine” that are not included in the 2LP “LIVE ALBUM”. In addition, the legendary Arashi’s Japan tour was also held in July of the same year, so this is a must-listen item for old fans who want to experience the early GFR in real life. Disc 1 : 1.
