Toally Confuzzled

For some reason, the cover photo for the MC5's Back In The USA
was slapped on this pseudo-album cover, apparently a reissue/bootleg of this.
From a benefit show broadcast on ABC TV's In Concert. You might notice that it's not GFR at all, but their "Special Guest" Freddie King & his band. (Thought it was an excellent cover of "Going Down".)Also by Mr. King & band:
Grand Funk, 'though also from Michigan, were a power trio ('til they added a keyboard player) not a five-piece.

MC5 is one of those bands whom I've heard about forever, but never learned their music.

I take it you like them?

All-American Music Editor:
Yep. Loud, fast & political. A proto-Clash or something, on the backs of Chuck Berry & Little Richard. Back in the USA is certainly on my 100 or whatever Swellest Albums list.
