In an exclusive interview conducted by Rock N Roll Universe
(
www.rocknrolluniverse.com) legendary Grand Funk Railroad drummer Don
Brewer discusses the band's historic Shea Stadium show, where the band
sold out all 55,000 plus tickets in less than 72 hours, the chances of
Grand Funk being inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, the
state of the music business as well as the possibility of a brand new
album. A short excerpt from the interview follows below :
RNRU : In '71 the band played New York's Shea Stadium, selling out all
55,000 seats in 72 hours, faster than any band had sold out that venue,
including The Beatles. It's a record which I believe still stands to
this day. What was that like playing the Shea concert?
