GRAND FUNK RAILROAD - The American Band - tour reports and photos!

 

10-15-21 Las Vegas, NV

SOLD OUT!

Grand Funk was booked in The Golden Nugget back in 2019 before the Pandemic. Las Vegas and The Nugget closed down for 445 days as a result of Covid. Having played The Nugget many times in the past 10 years, GFR was excited to hear that this date was finally going to play after a long 15 month wait.

The SOLD OUT Showroom was packed and ready to ROCK when GFR hit the stage. On their feet and singing along to all the Grand Funk Hits and even singing The Star Spangled Banner as Bruce played his great rendition on guitar. Another wonderful night at The Golden Nugget!

Moving on to Hyannis, again The American Band was ready and the crowd rocked along with them. Singing to Some Kind Of Wonderful, Closer To Home, and We're An American Band as loud as the band played. Awesome to hear!

Grand Funk Railroad & Kid Rock?

SOLD OUT!

GFR came "Closer To Home" this week playing two SOLD OUT shows at the outdoor amphitheater at Soaring Eagle Casino Resort in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. Not far from Grand Funk's home town of Flint. The tickets for this great Michigan Rock Extravaganza went on sale two months ago and SOLD OUT in minutes. What a mix of Michigan Rock Music with GFR's Classic Rock and Kid Rock's Southern, Country, Hip Hop.

Both nights the huge audience was treated to an outstanding show by both acts.

GFR has played the Soaring Eagle several times over the past 24 years, and it is always a good time playing in Central Michigan.

God Bless America!

Check out the pics from the show!

MOONDANCE JAM

The Grand Finale!

 

With both joy and sadness Grand Funk Railroad took part in the very last celebration of a truly GREAT Classic Rock event THE MOONDANCE JAM.

 

 

Saturday night 7/24/21 marked the 30th. Anniversary of this amazing three day music festival and also sadly will be the last. The wonderful people who created this Rock & Roll extravaganza have decided to retire. Having started with a small stage in a Minnesota pasture in 1991 and having hosted the biggest names in Rock over the years, they built MOONDANCE into a legendary Rock Festival.

Grand Funk first played MOONDANCE in 1997 and appeared on the iconic stage three more times over 24 years.

 

 

GFR hit the 20,000 plus crowd at 6 PM with Rock & Roll Soul and Footsompin' Music. The MOONDANCERS were glad to go along for the ride. The massive crowd seemed to grow in size and intensity as GFR made their way through a great show. Due to a windy Saturday evening, the American Flag blew over during Bruce's Star Spangled Banner. The crowd gasped as Stage Tech Don Baker righted and held the flag upright and the crowd cheered loudly in appreciation.

What an incredible night. Grand Funk, Don Felder of The Eagles, and Cheap Trick closed out this historic chapter in Rock History.

The American Band Grand Funk Railroad rolled into Charlotte, NC for an amazing 4th. of July Celebration in nearby Harrisburg. Playing a show for this traditional event of 14 years, GFR helped set a new record of 14,000 plus to the new Harrisburg Amphitheater.

 

 

 

 

After playing a sold out show in Fayetteville 7/2, the guys were primed and ready to give the huge audience a show they will remember. Grand Funk is just getting warmed up after 15 months of Covid seclusion and everybody is ready to Rock!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank You Harrisburg!
