re: #212 makeitstop

A rock critic - I forget which one - described GFR live as ‘the loudest AM radio in the world.’ I saw them at The Spectrum in Philly on the tour for the second album. I think my ears are still ringing.

Don Brewer and Mel Schacter of GFR came out of the band Terry Knight and The Pack, who had a regional hit with Van Morrison’s ‘Gloria.’ Knight moved behind the scenes and became GFR’s manager.

The critics hated them, but young stoners like me thought they were the bomb.

My one cousin got a bit of the hem of Terry Night’s shirt at a show in my old hometown. She was over the moon with that bit of striped shirt.

Actually…Mark Farner was in Terry Night and the Pack too. Schacter was not.
