I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home) Grand Funk Railroad Cover

Hi! Thanks so much for stopping by. This is a clip from our June 4, 2009 performance at Golden Nugget in Anchorage, Alaska. This was our second gig this year using our new board and cabinets. I have to admit I messed around with the equipment when the guys weren't around and you can almost hear them in the background scratching their heads trying to figure out what I'd done. :o( Also, this was the first gig we recorded with the new xh a1 and we learned that from now on we'll line the board directly into the camera's xlrs. :o) Anyway, Mark Farner wrote this rock-n-roll classic in 1970 and recorded it with his then band, Grand Funk Railroad. It was released as a single as well as on the Closer To Home album. We upgraded our board to a Mackie Onyx 1640 with the optional AD card and switched to the new JBL PRX515's featuring onboard Crowns at 1,000 watts peak per cabinet. Everyone has been very flattering about the new sound. When we retired the prior mackie board, we lost some eq and effects so we've added another lexicon and two 31 band eq's. Now it'll be up to the guys to "kick the tires and light the fires". It aint easy to make this old guy sound good. :o) We've got several gigs on the books and are looking forward to adding some new ones in the near future. I'll post the dates here as time permits. Please rate, comment and share. If I can answer any questions or help you in anyway, shoot me a pm. Michael T
