Grand Funk, “Live Album” (Capitol, 1970)
They never had the hip cred of their Detroit proto-metal cohorts MC5, but this early set is closer than you might think. Thundering power-trio roll-and-roar, a giant groove that delivers its crude overload with a certain paradoxical concision and restraint – the solos and songs are there to serve the vast monolithic sound period, and never deviate or showboat.
Try 1/ 2, 2/ 2, 4/1
