GRAND FUNK RAILROAD DRUMMER SAYS NEW DVD SHOWS BAND WAS LEGIT

With the release of the new Grand Funk Railroad Greatest Hits
package, fans have gotten a whole new perspective on the band. The
DVD that comes with the package has both performance footage and a
promo film the guys made in 1973 that shows how they lived their
lives when not on stage or in the studio. Singer-drummer Don Brewer
said that the material on the DVD really demonstrates that Grand
Funk was an honest band: "We were exactly what you see on those
films and, and that's what strikes me as being important about Grand
Funk, is that it was a very sincere band, and a very sincere kind of
a deal that we, we went through, and a time period we went through,
and, and I really think we were good! (laughs) You know? As much as,
you know, critics like to malign us, you know, I think we were very
good at being Grand Funk."

The DVD includes a TV appearance from 1969, footage from Shea
Stadium in New York City in 1971, and performances from The Palace
Of Auburn Hills in Michigan in 1997.
