This is what happens

"Having seen Grand Funk 5 times from 1970-75 which of course is the time of all the live recordings of them, I can tell you that this is the tale end of a great live band. Grand Funk was always known as a live band and they had many problems selling their studio albums for that reason. Having seen the down and raunchy to the "we are getting tired of doing this" concerts, it is a great story and I still listen with wonder to the live recordings reliving the idea that I was deaf for 3 days after the concert in the Boston Gardens in 71-72 (hard to remember which year)and my friend Ronnie who after the third song laid down on the chairs (we were on the floor about 50 feet fromt he stage) closed her eyes and never got up again until the last song when I think she was able to handle the whole thing again. The last time I saw them was at the Hampton Roads Colisium in Hampton Virginia in 75 and was the culmination again of fan distress when one of the fans reached up and pulled the cord from Marks guitar as he was flying across the stage (again I was down front)caught up in Inside Looking Out and all the while shaking his head at the fan pleading for him not to pull it out, but he did anyway and of course prophetically that was the end of a great era. Greatest Live Rock band ever.

A very good Rock Live album

"I was a kid in the seventies, my favorite band were Uriah Heep, Deep Purple and Grand Funk. I still like these bands and listening to "Caught in the Act" reminds me the good seventies. This is a very good Rock album and contains the "almost" perfect choice of songs, the sound is very good.

A must have if you are a fan of the band or a classic rock music lover !"

Great Live CD Reissue

"CAUGHT IN THE ACT, Grand Funk Railroad's final album for Capitol, is a great live album showing a great rock & roll band going down fighting (they would break up the following year). The only flaw is that it lacks the opening song from shows performed on the 1975 tour, "Are You Ready?", in order to keep it to a single CD. Nevertheless, you shouldn't pass this one up."
