1. Took our 15 year old Grandson to see them..

Chinook Winds Casino, March 2019. His first concert ever, and he was blown away. So were we.

2. Sounds like it was a good time.

Saw them a couple times in Milwaukee. They were from Michigan so they got here quite a lot.

3. It was. And that 15 year old is now a 22 year old in the Marine Corp..

He has not been in harm's way yet, but we worry.

4. With who's in charge I'd worry too 😊

6. GFR Was My First Concert, Too

But, it was early '71 IIRC, not 2019.

5. Kind Of Required Learning For...

...those of us who learned guitar in the 70s.
That opening riff & the cool sus4 main change. The rhythm is cool, top.
Then it has the 2 gear changes.
Really fun song.

7. Love GFR / Hate this song

I've seen the surviving members a couple times in the past few years, but now I have tix to see Mark Farner next month in a 100 year old theater. It seems another member owns the GFR name and tour without Farner so he calls himself The American Band. With fourth row seats I'm pretty pumped about this show.

As for the band getting closer to their home, about halfway through I'm yelling for them to step on the gas and get there already. Should be a three minute song. I think that's a R&R Rule.
