that was always one of my favorite albums. Todd Rundgren did a hell of a job with them. The record has a fabulous sound quality to it, something most Funk albums (especially in the early days) did not have. When the conga drums come in at the end of Stop Lookin Back, I crank the stereo to an almost painful level.
I always liked Grand Funk Live too; I pinched many a guitar lick from In Need and Inside Looking Out. Somebody once asked me why I liked it; I said it was a caveman rock show, and they were really good at that.
