Today's GFR song and video is Grand Funk's cover of the Rolling Stones Gimme Shelter. This is from the 1971 Shea Stadium concert in New York City. In this concert Grand Funk sold out Shea stadium in 72 hours, a feat which has never been matched by any other act, even the Beatles.
Very interesting video indeed. This Shea Stadium footage has been long unavailable but is now slowly leaking out thanks to some die hard Grand Funk fans. Watch around the 5:08 mark and you will see the stadium seats actually flexing up and down from the fans jumping around.
